Fest 21 (Suzanne Lynch) sat down with Malgoska Szumowska and Joanna Kulig, the director/co-writer and young co-star of ELLES, a film in which Juliette Binoche plays a journalist from Elle magazine (and bourgeouis housewife) who becomes too close to her subjects while researching an article on student prostitution in Paris.
The film (which hints at voyeurism repeatedly in brief gotcha moments) features a stringy-haired and perpetually stressed-out Anne (as tightly plugged int...
The Kill Hole (2011): Chadwick Boseman (Lt. Samuel Drake); Mischa Webley - Director / Writer; Tory Kittles (Sgt. Devon Carter).
During the 14th Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival, by far one of the most poignant films for me was the ensemble film: ‘5 Broken Cameras’ by Israeli director Guy Davidi and Palestinian director Emad Burnat. The story is about Palestinian farmer/filmmaker Emad Burnat who feels it his purpose in life to film the events taking place in his Palestinian village Bil’in while Israeli soldiers take over the village to build Israeli settlements.

“Mother tongue comes with birth!”
Where is My Mother Tongue?, in the National Competition, is
the first film by Veli Kahraman who worked as art director for many
films in the sector. Kahraman’s parents play themselves in the film
which follows the Zazaki language threatened with extinction, and
resists use of language as a political tool.

“Men are in the gloom!”
Director Reis Çelik talks about his film, Night of Silence
in the National Competition. In the film on child-brides, Reis Çelik is
in obstinacy just like he was in İnat Hikayeleri. He puts such a strong
actor as İlyas Salman and a beautiful young girl in the marriage room
and never leaves the room. He makes us watch the film even without
breathing for 90 minutes. The film returned with a Crystal Bear from
Berlin Film Festival, and its journey in T...

Competition selection at Istanbul Film Festival, returns to films confined to a single space with The Pomegranate as he did in 9 and Ara. He fits justice, beliefs, injustice, fantastic elements, a surprising screenplay, revenge, and change into this small space.

Old age by the Oscar nominated film from Hong Kong…
A Simple Life, Oscar-nominated film from Hong Kong which achieved great box office success in the Fareast, is essentially a family love film. Based on the real experience of the producer Roger Lee, the film tells the relationship between a film producer, Roger, and the servant of his family of 60 years. The film focuses on themes of old age, death, and love after the servant suffers a stroke and wants to move to a resting home. A Sim...
- In Courage, you had to act a man who was in essence a coward, and in In Darkness, your character is quite courageous in contrast. Their inner conflicts are so powerful. But how was the transition from to the other considering the small time between the two shoots?
That’s my job and I find it more interesting to play various characters. I like to change, that’s why I am an actor. I am known in Poland for playing “though” guys. The director of Courage surprised me because...

Danish director Daan Veldhuizen attended the 14th TDF this year with his stunningly shot film “Stories From Lakka Beach” (2011). The film focuses on today’s Sierra Leone and the struggle of everyday life on the serene edenic Lakka beach village where today all of its people appear to live in harmony alongside each other. But this peace wasn’t always so and perhaps it wont always be. In a land that has seen the ever advancing onslaught of u...
The theme for this year's I Will Tell film festival is an exciting and scary one.
Living Your Dreams takes us a notch above Dreaming the Dream and stretches us to be more specific about the dream for our lives rather than the make-believe fairy tale that is often shoved down our throats from a variety of otherwise well-meaning individuals and organisations.
Living the dream means being prepared to sacrifice time, money, relationships, sometimes reputation and respectability. Living y...
