Out on. One of the highlights a contemporary version of the classic work alexanderplatz. When i look at you i see. Strong probably tired of sitting here doing nothing you know. You long day decent life and understanding is when. You notice this weekend as a course you do use up more from life than just the bad in the piece off but it brought the whole chill. Of. Francis from west africa is just one of many. After a long and traumatic journey as a refugee hes arrived in berlin. He hopes to start a new life here a respectable one but instead he falls into the clutches of reinhold a crook who is the devil in. Karnit if. I. Can call and im going to clear up. The sometimes the top of. Frances aims to stay legal even in the toughest of circumstances when the fleeced when you flee when you leave your home and you dont just lose that place things that you lose your language of selfassurance your family your sense of security and for me thats Human Dignity which the character in the struggle to be gay. Could bonnie is himself the son of political refugees from afghanistan. If the spy his best intentions franciscos astray reinhold forces him to take part in a break and 9. To feed these tanks to my family. Every. Show at any cost. Francis struggles stumbles falls down and keeps on fighting he tries to retain his goodness and a bad world the film is a 3 hour long trip from hell through madame messed up city. Much of the action also takes place a house and haida berlin park known for its drug scene in which some refugees act as dealers like francis. Director ben Hunter Bonnie wanted to give a face to individuals like him to tell these outsider stories. Just a few but i had this feeling if i just fished out the story of one of these drug dealers is a policy it wouldnt get much attention in germany it would just fade away. So could bonnie turn to an old story a novel barely alexanderplatz by alfred duplin a german literary classic from 1929. It was 1st film just 2 years later as in the book the protagonist is called franz b. Of a cult not. Just released from jail franz wants to work and lead a normal life the film is a portrait of its time. A half century later legendary director reiner vanna past and turned bad in other gender thoughts into a t. V. Series once again belin was betrayed as a behemoth that devoured people which. Now beyond could bonnie has brought doolin story into the 21st century his tale of an undocumented immigrant is a surreal nightmare a downward journey into an unforgiving parallel universe the hunt for good the one we want to tell a story about characters they demand for realization you know to understand read they are placed in the society but so should live in microcode most. And this really is a place but i feel the 2 have space to talk you can have a voice here. Francis falls in love with a call girl named. But their relationship is doomed even she cant help fascist who is torn between 2 worlds. That makes us a. Night sky. And skip paths display up to projects that are close to your heart that are a cut above other films and this is absolutely one of mine and that was hats see him play act and that same. Films like this can encourage people to think or look at things differently saying. Their hand could bonnie brings a fresh perspective to a classic tale which focuses on people from the fringes of. He exposes both the dark side of the song and the city. Migration one of the major topics in. The 70 s. The girl an International Film festival has a history like no other. In 1950 not long after the end of world war 2 they reconstruction of berlin have begun but what the city lacked was a profile for International Recognition and culture so the us Occupying Forces had the idea to hold the Film Festival in west berlin as a window on the free world. Launched in the summer of 1951 it was a success right from the start and 5 years later the burman ali had become an a list 1st of all on par with can and then. The festival enjoyed a heyday and the newly built zoo Palace Cinema became the heart of the Film Festival for 3 decades. In 1961 east berliners attended for the last time later that year the berlin wall was built. And stayed in place for almost 3 decades in 1990 the berlin was also held in the eastern part of the city for the 1st time. From then on it was a festival for all of berlin. In the year 2000 new festival the news opened at Potsdamer Platz in the city center in its 70th anniversary year of the festivals past came back to haunt it. Its 1st director was revealed to be a high ranking nazi in the film directorate set up by. The festivals organizers have said that bowers role will be investigated by an independent group of historians but the burn in allah is experienced in dealing with the past and the. President after all it is a political festival. What lies behind singapores gleaming facades the dreams and nightmares of around 1000000 Migrant Workers they make up about a 6th of the population and although they greatly contribute to the economy in asias richest nation they remain almost invisible on the edge of society. Just like were living separately i feel this documentary i went to. Work. Just schumanns like us they have family they have hopes and dreams so i hope theres a wall empathy for Migrant Workers director lee been spent 6 months in the separate world of the Migrant Workers before making the film following their lives and also observing one ngo which helps people to deal with problems problems such as loneliness debt abuse exploitation in a world where turbo capitalism disregards human rights and. If you believe maybe you should focus on it and put together the think you. Wish. The camera is always steady and respectful and the filmmaker approached his protagonists with caution. At 1st did interviews but its a process i want to make it feel like a point. Like a dream i want to turn this craft. Off the mind when experience. One of the films protagonists is. After a work accident that almost cost him his life and for which is employer showed no interest in the ngo brings him back home to bangladesh and emotional. Journey for everybody and the beginning of a friendship after making it a feel we saw in. The group chat and recently she she brought for carlos and for me cause after us its a very cute. Hallucinatory hard apocalyptic nightmare that pinky was a member of a corrupt religious sect both in the film and in real life now he is on the run. Because he had a stroke and i suppose he got a job by. The looks of it given the significance of the fire. Commissioner do that. As he put a criminal. In this bleak film collage camillo wrist strap over flex on the violence unleashed by a religious act a common phenomenon both in colombia and throughout latin america. And no one to call for this is a huge amount of profiteers who say that the law should be 1st and the 1st last and they tell people that they are the last but he will give them the means to be the 1st its like a reproduction of Power Systems in the average of 3 to be 1st its about government and society and how its organized. Society. Colombia has a long history of violence for those on the bottom rung of society like drug addict pinky violence sometimes seems like the only option. The film was like a therapy session for the real life pinky yeah me. Cinema commode life differently you can escape reality and set it on. Different truck do need the film changed pinky and proof you need a bougie it would really do hope now hes gone back to his hometown and almost doesnt do drugs anymore because you know its not just working on a script at the door with your. Nose to conduct those is neither a documentary nor fiction but a painful visionary allegory of a dysfunctional society.

The main thing is forgiveness and being able to put yourself in the shoes of somebody else hear the theme of the frame of course its the media. Can manipulate the reality even if its a name off for good things unbelievable as it seems shows like this really exist in iran so the director just took it to the extreme. I just i dont know. What was is on i just call him by your local rejoined almost half of us should be doing that the mahdi says as if you have not. Like the thought. Of the other but its represents the varying our society somehow today because its combining. The tradition and modernity. In one piece of this t. V. Show. The film is also a portrait of iranian women paying tribute to their strengths. The film successfully shows how women from different social classes backgrounds families and education are all very active in one way or the other. The film is scheduled to be released in iran soon maybe with the berlin i leave behind it it will succeed the festival is the Political Force questions that concern us all the ben another asks them persistently. But both. Hyrule lost everything including her parents and brother and the 2011 tsunami. And now thought she is living with us in the hospital. In utter despair a route travels across japan. In the lead actress serino mottola is just 21 years old when the monster wave hit she was tanned and in her final year of Primary School she herself didnt lose anyone close to her but she remembers the disaster. Happened with us and were probably among the youngest who really experienced the disaster. We have images of it in our minds. That the children from my school who were 2 or 3 years younger at the time can probably hardly remember it. Could they were just too small. To be behind the facade of normality a collective trauma festers the film tells a story from the perspective of individuals. For director not a hero the film also has a political dimension the tsunami and the Nuclear Accident africa are yesterdays news in japan. Nominee the media stopped reporting on the disaster and its effects especially now with the Olympic Games coming up i get the feeling that Japanese Society as a whole would just rather forget all these problems. That. You dont. Like or. How ru is picked up by mario he worked in the Fukushima Nuclear plant and lost his wife and child in 2011. How can we cope with grief and loss theres no question that confront us all not only in japan or you know just our in the journey takes her from deep depression back into life. Is invited to dine with a kurdish family their daughter is the same age as her room and they become friends the kurdish family are not actors the film is a semi documentary. The scene developed on its own without the directors assistance. In putting some money but. I really just chatted with everybody the whole time i heard of the cyclone and the with the girl in particular i got along very well we were like real friends i was actually a little sad when the meeting was over. And the scope of this. Shooting for the movie was completed in just 3 weeks it was the 1st time the director and lead actress had worked together. Serena mottola had already acted in a number of films shes also a successful model. Director not a hero sue i knew right away of a sensitive young woman was right for the lead and the challenging shoot. At the courtroom there was no script we improvised. So i tried to adjust to the various locations in the situations. How does the place smell what people will i meet. What kind of things are there and. I had to feel my way into the scenes over and over. And i think. Its a low key deeply moving film with an optimistic ending toru has seen her own home once more than by chance she meets a young man. He tells her about the phone of the wind people use it to speak to the dead such a telephone booth actually exists for tens of thousands of japanese comfort in it after the tsunami. I think. I did. The film had its european premiere in berlin and then it was party to. The building now that hes always in times of power its always just be. Done out in. Berlin now and it stars in 1954 the glamorous and beautiful gino lola brigida made a splash in berlin and alongside her a young sophia loren 2 goddesses of italian cinema.

In the ninetys berlin was growing into its role as the german capital its Film Festival attracted International Stars the biggest names in the business graced its red carpet. In 2008 the festivals opening film was shine a light Martin Scorseses tour a documentary about the Rolling Stones before band members came to berlin for the premiere. Over the last 70 years fashion and hairstyles have come and gone but one thing never changes the enthusiasm of the public and the photographers. And whats making the festival headlines this year. The 2020 festival also has its stars johnny depp Sigourney Weaver im william defoe. And the queen of the Silver Screen helen mirren this years festival pays special tribute to her a superstar at age 74. Range is nothing short of the shrewd empress. Of a tired assassin. And an older clip girl. Helen mirren brings real character to all her roles im not a movie star im an actress she was human its necessary to save your breath the characters are often feisty and fight for selfassertion i make my own choices and i dont need your permission. To search female characters were long under represented in movies much to the chagrin of the feminist helen mirren the change in the last 510 years has been remarkable and very very exciting to me i wish i was 25 if. Im a bit cross that its taking this long. Stereotypes of always being an abomination to helen mirren. In the gangster movie the long good friday she made sure her role as the sexy but it was rewritten she saw the original has been either. A lot of stupid. I told you what i told him everything every day id go on the set and id read. Written the scene you know written my character said right away thats how the whole of the scene where she takes him out didnt and shes the one whos driving it and i was just an absolute pain in the ass for the poor director. She started her career on the stage in the 1960 s. As the youngest member of the Royal Shakespeare company. I wanted to be a great stage actress we didnt get to the cinema also i wasnt really aware of the incredible art form that is film. She found fame as a tough detective chief inspector in london who battles preconceived ideas in a mans world as well as her own weaknesses what always makes a character interesting and. Brings the audience in is not strength its vulnerability and weakness you know its a great roles are to do with ability and weakness. And Peter Greenaway is the cook the thief his wife and her lover helen mirren doesnt appear weak she plays the gangsters wife a sophisticated ice cold goddess of revenge. But. A feminist act in art house cinema. Which you can also play quick tempered characters. Thank you thank god. Here she is the wife of russian writer leo tolstoy. These days at the age of 74. 00 she could afford to be picky about the roles she accepts. Straight to the last page is my character on the last page if its a good sign. Then i could write the script from the beginning the Prime Minister for you see today i took this role so far. Our was arguably dot of the queen and Stephen Frears 2006 film of the same name for some couple has really changed after the death of Princess Diana and the royal family remain silent the british are outraged and the monarchy is plunged into crisis i come from a republican family you know we if we dont believe in our stop to see an end in royal families but i have to say in researching the queen to play her as a personage i came to respect had very very deeply her absolute adherence to the role to the job. Of the conflicting feelings of the queen portrayed by helen mirren and. To place those folks. Have told. Me. She thought about.
