Spotlight on International Documentaries at SILVERDOCSMonday, June 12---While most US-based film festivals regularly showcase at least a few international documentaries as part of their program, non-fiction from around the world is a definite spotlight of the SILVERDOCS: AFI/Discovery Channel Documentary Festival, which launches on tomorrow night at the AFI Silver Center. In a section called World View, which also includes US documentaries, the subject matter and geographical origins of the films bring a broader understanding of political, social and economic concerns around the globe. UK directors make up the largest contingent of international directors presented at the Festival. One of the highlights of the World View program is undoubtedly 48 UP, director Michael Apted’s latest installment of his series following the lives of a group of diverse individuals, who he has been interviewing since they were seven years old in 1964. Other UK titles include: THE GREAT HAPPINESS-SPACE: TALE OF AN OSAKA LOVE THIEF (director, Jake Clennel), an eye-opening tour of host clubs in Osaka, Japan, where wealthy women shop for the sexual services of beautiful young men, who make an astounding mound of cash for their “cooperation 14.06.2006 | silverdocs's blog Cat. : AFI Silver Ambiance CDATA economic Film international films Jake Clennel Japan LOVE THIEF Maryland Michael Apted Osaka political silverdocs Silverdocs SILVERDOCS social Social Issues Social Issues the Silverdocs UK directors XML Independent News FILM FESTIVALS PEOPLE PROS
