Dario Vigano brought us a message from the Pope. I have translated this paragraph for you.

"Communicating hope and trust in our time, is the title chosen by the pope for the 51st world day for social communication (May 28), to attract the attention of all media and information professionals, the entire community, to being promoters of the true and honest stories, not to mention confidence in today and tomorrow. "I would like," said Pope Francis, "to contribute to the search for an open and creative style of communication that is never willing to give evil a first role, but which seeks to highlight the possible solutions, inspiring An active and responsible approach to the people to whom the information is communicated. I would like to invite to offer to the men and women of our time stories marked by the logic of the "good news". This is what we  (always) expect from good cinema."

“We are proud to lead this young talented director to cross borders with such a delicate story, told with such an original tone and visionary in its way, that has the potential to touch the hearts of people no matter where they’re from, as in the end of the day it is about being brave and learning how get to know and how to take care of oneself”, stated Ida Martins, CEO of Media Luna New Films.

The director says it is “a truly personal film” and “I don’t see myself doing another film where I can be that exposed and vulnerable telling a deeply personal story. A story that can be a wake-up call and an insightful look into the lives of the ‘other’”.

Ahmed El Feshawy plays the lead role, while rising young star Ahmed Malek plays the cleric as a teenager. Veteran actor Maged El-Kedwany stars as the cleric’s authoritarian father.

The film is produced by Mohamed Hefzy of Film Clinic, the Egyptian production powerhouse, who is behind films such as the Un Certain Regard 2016 opener “Clash” by Mohamed Diab and “Ali, The Goat and Ibrahim" by Sherif el Bindary, as well as Hani Ossama of The Producers, the company behind the hits "Excuse My French” and “Hepta". “We are very happy to be working with Media Luna. Their reputation and track record are excellent, but it's their passion and belief in the film that made us instantly convinced that they were the best partner for the film. We look forward to a long and successful working relationship” stated Hefzy.

The deal was negotiated by Daniel Ziskind, the Manager of Film Clinic in Europe.

Phullu, Review by Siraj Syed: Misleading title, taboo subject, tenacious treatment This is a good example of a film named after its lead character, with no regard for audiences’ perception of what it might stand for, and no clue about the storyline. The word is not a corruption of phool (flower), though it could well be an attempt to synthesise phool with ullu (owl; figuratively, a fool). We can go with the assumption that they intended to call him the flower fool, Phullu. Phullu is ab...

Films we curate for festivals


Dear Festival programmers 

I would like to share with you these fine films which I have selected for festival consideration. They are part of our 'Ones To Watch' curated section, all winners!.  And I believe each of them has a story that can change the way we see life.

 

"Ones to Watch" by filmfestivals.com

Craddle of Champions                            A film by Bartle Bull, cinematography by legendary Tom Hurwitz ASC (the Last Emperor), produced by Donald Rosenfeld (Tree of Life, Remains of the Day...)

"Fighting for your life in the city of dreams"


The most awarded "dream team" of documentary talent (VALENTINO: THE LAST EMPEROR, CITIZENFOUR, RESTREPO, CAMERAPERSON, QUEEN OF VERSAILLES, RACING DREAMS, CARTEL LAND etc.) in decades captures the epic story of three young people fighting for their lives in the oldest, biggest, most important amateur boxing tournament in the world: New York’s Daily News Golden Gloves.

CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS follows three extraordinary, inspiring individuals—James Wilkins, Nisa Rodriguez, and Titus Williams—on an urban odyssey through a ten-week tournament, founded in 1927, that has produced more professional world champions than the Olympic Games.

Telling a compelling story of dreams, heartbreak, and redemption, the result is a unique work of art. CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS is edge-of-the-seat drama with the polish of a Hollywood feature film and the intimacy of a gritty cinéma vérité classic.

This is Bartle's first film. donald Rosenfeld has also producced a series of documentaries around his passions for film, art, sport...

However the discovery of this cave in real world makes her realize a truth about her childhood and makes her love the hero of her story. She finds out that the man who is the hero of her story is not just an imaginary person but a real character who had made her childhood world beautiful with his kind behavior and nice stories. Now she has just realized that her heaven like daily life is no longer attractive to her and she is determined to embrace the hardships and find her lost hero along with the search of her students' fathers; unaware of the fact that she herself is becoming a hero for her students by her behavior and stories just like her own childhood hero with whom she had gone on a journey.

The Hidden Rebellion by Daniel Rabourdin

75 minutes French
“Old men know what war is...

Set ten years after the American Revolution in the idyllic French countryside of the Vendee, “The Hidden Rebellion” combines insightful documentary with richly dramatic scenes of battle, resistance, and love as the storm clouds of the French Revolution gather.

At first, this peaceful region of France welcomes the French Revolution’s projects of reforms. But when the reforms are replaced by a profound change of the nation’s identity, the Vendéans start to defend their clergy, resist the higher taxes and refuse to wage ideological wars beyond the borders.

Victorious in early battles, the Vendéans are later defeated militarily. What follows is a 150,000-person extermination of the civilians that includes the slaying of women and children so that “the race does not persist”. Priests and nuns are drowned, hung and thrown to an angry mob.

The destruction of the population in the Vendee region is a documented goal of the French Revolutionary forces and raises important questions related to freedom of conscience, political tyranny, and religious persecution that are highly relevant considering today’s geo-political climate.

“The Hidden Rebellion” presents a searing examination of the events and, even more importantly, of the ideas surrounding one of history’s most chilling instances of genocide.

A powerful and important warning to the world in this time of increasing intolerance toward faith and family, “The Hidden Rebellion” tells the story of simple, faithful people who “gave up the world…for heaven.”

Martin Sheen Presents:  “THE WORLD IS MY COUNTRY” 

 

Director Arthur Kanegis brings to the screen The World Is My Country, the epic story of the daring, controversial, and decades-ahead-of-his-time legendary figure, World Citizen #1 Garry Davis (27 July 1921 – 24 July 2013).  Martin Sheen calls his story “a roadmap to a better future.”

A citizen of no nation, only the world – for 65 years --  Davis was hailed by Albert Einstein for “the sacrifices he has made for the well-being of humanity,” extolled by Buckminster Fuller as “the new World Man”, and challenged by Eleanor Roosevelt to start “a worldwide international government.”

He was not a politician but an actor -- Danny Kaye’s understudy on Broadway.  Yet his bold actions sparked a massive movement which helped trigger the unanimous passage of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and planted the seeds for borderlines to fall across Europe.   His amazing life story made the front page of the New York Times and headlines around the world when he died in 2013, and is now the subject of this forthcoming motion picture produced by FutureWAVE, Inc.  

“I fell in love with this guy,” says Martin Sheen who introduces Davis in the film.   “He was an actor, a song and dance man, who leapt off the Broadway stage, onto the world stage in 1948, taking on cops, border guards, armies and whole nations – showing us we don’t have to accept a world ravaged by war and plunging towered environmental destruction…  We can build a world that is constructive for all and destructive to none.”
