Guys what would we do without you of what has been calling god out there at the red carpet. Well sarah right behind us in the belly not of the last is the premier for the movie museum happening right now its a movie by. The us and its based on true events set in mexico its about two young friends who break into the National Museum they break they break in they steal a lot of artifacts that what has a lot of money and what they do not expect is that the whole nation turns against them they are being seen as and patriotic enemies of the state something they do not expect and they really struggle with to have a bad conscious somewhat surprising is no surprise that we had today was you have an out of the star of the film actually showed up at the press conference we were not expecting him there and we got a lot of really interesting insights into the film during the press conference the director himself said that when he approached the families of the real people who were involved in the real heist back in the mid eightys the family said they wanted nothing to do with the film and please dont make this film and the director said that this really freedom up to tell the story that he wanted to tell and one thing that he said that was very funny was while at the truth get in the way of a good story. Oh ok well what to make about that one but in the meantime i mean that wasnt the only film that was being shown today what else have you guys seen. So one film that we saw this morning was the new documentary by the legendary swiss documentarian Marcos Imhoff called el dorado and it is about basically the process of becoming a refugee in europe and in what really got some unprecedented if not very impressive access to every single step of the bureaucratic process that it takes to become a refugee from being dragged out of the waters of the mediterranean to sitting in an office waiting to be rejected essentially for your asylum claim and he was telling us in the press Conference Today that his main aim was really to show the critical look in a very very critical way why there is this that the machinery of the machinery and he wanted to have a critical look at that and really show that the refugees are being exploited in the country and in europe as a whole so he feels very very passionate passionately about that and the main reason why he does so its because of his own past no history and his family took in a refugee admiring the Second World War we have a little bit more on that take a look. Into. Swiss director marcos First Experience with refugees was as a child and World War Two he will come across a group. Of people come to me and this comes on the spot. To obama in whose memory of him to examine the plight of todays refugees. His film eldorado texas on a rescue mission in the mediterranean. Like. The documentary take. A critical view of european asylum policies and the organizations that try to help my friends as well as the industries that exploit the. Book before god this ends im sure. Its a quiet film about dashed hopes and a brutal reminder of the lives that for most europeans go unseen. So nother film that we saw today was a film called touch me not by the bulgarian director i didnt it aside the romanian director excuse me adding it. This is a film that was very close and motional and very it was the word im looking for explicit look at human sexuality thats true there is a lot of nudity in the movie and a lot of explicit sex scenes as well what makes it really interesting that its not just about the intimacy of heterosexual couples and there are also other couples and transgender people severely disabled people speaking out about intimacy and intimacy problems and so thats really really interesting take but there are blood lines between a documentary and fiction and what we should mention is that that he is one of only four women directors whose films are in the competition section of the ballet now the other sections of the bailing out i have about forty percent female directors but the competitions actually has a reason got a little bit worse on that so were pulling for a woman to at least win best director here area and four out of nineteen in that competition i understand thank you so much and also Melanie Cora Deval both of you there at the red carpet we appreciate it.
