HOME, together with 17 other films was competing for the Orizzonti section which aims to represent the latest aesthetic and expressive trends in international cinema. This edition's international jury of the Orizzonti section was chaired by French director Robert Guédiguian and composed by US film critic and historian Jim Hoberman, Egyptian actress Nelly Karim, Italian actress Valentina Lodovini, Korean actress and director Moon So-ri, Spanish film critic and scholar Josè Maria (Chema) Prado, and Indian director Chaitanya Tamhane.
"In Home, I want to explore the field of tension between two generations. How do adults go about their responsibilities towards teenagers and how do these young people try to find their way into adulthood themselves. In this community of two struggling generations, I looked for a storyline that centers on the themes of parental love, freedom, loyalty, betrayal and violence." - Director, Fien Troch -
Original soundtrack is from Johnny Jewel who worked on Drive and Lost River among others.
After it's World Premiere in Venice, HOME will continue its international journey to Toronto Film Festival where it will be screened on Tuesday in the Platform section. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
