Film5.6DramYedi günde geçen yedi hikâye. Yedi yönetmenden tek bir kent: Havana! Sırasıyla haftanın günleri ilerlerken, farklı karakterlerin hem gündelik hem de olağandışı hayatları gözler önüne seriliyor. Filmi samimi ve gerçekçi kılan ise şehre turistik bir gözle bakmayıp şehrin ruhunu özümseyerek, farklı nesil ve kültürleri zengin bir yelpazede bir araya getirmesi. Her bir hikâyenin konusu farklı olsa da karakterler ve mekânlar da bazen hikâyeler arasında geçiş yapıyor. Havana'ya has sıcak ve yoğun duyguları yakalayan filmde ilk yönetmenlik denemesiyle oyuncu Benicio del Toro'nun yanı sıra kendi yönettiği bölümde başrolü oynayan Elia Suleiman ve bu kez kameranın önüne geçen yönetmen Emir Kusturica da yer alıyor.

Film6.6DramRomantikFilmin hem yazarı hem de yönetmeni olan Elia Suleiman, aynı zamanda oyunculuğunu da sergileyerek Woody Allen ve Charlie Chaplin ile kıyaslanmaktadır. Zira Allen’ın zekâsı ve kendi ile alay edebilen bir espri anlayışı ile Chaplin’in sessiz komedideki yeteneğine sahip olduğu düşünülmektedir. Kutsal Direniş, bir sessiz film değildir ancak Batı Şeria ve İsrail’de geçen su katılmadık, romantik bir komedidir. Filmde her ne kadar belirgin bir kahraman olmasa da alışılmadık bir hiciv anlayışı söz konusudur. Filistin içerisinde farklı şehirlerde yaşayan bir kadın ve erkeğin birbirlerine duydukları aşkı, içinde bulundukları siyasi koşullardan ötürü özgürce yaşayamamaları onları asla durduramaz. Her ne kadar bu durum gerginliği arttırsa da mevcut duruma verdikleri tepkinin isyanı ve aşkın gücü ile bambaşka bir hayal âlemi içine kaçmakta bulurlar çıkış yolunu.
Film7.3DramTarihElia Suleiman’ın bu yeni filmi, kendi ailesinin 1948′lerden günümüze uzanan hikâyesini ele aldığı, yarı özyaşamöyküsel, harika bir komedi. Film, Suleiman’ın babasının, bir direniş savaşçısı olduğu dönemden itibaren tuttuğu günlüklerinden ve annesinin sürgündeki aile üyelerine yazdığı mektuplardan esinleniyor. Geride Kalan yönetmenin tabiriyle, “topraklarında kalan ve İsrailli Araplar’ diye etiketlenen, kendi vatanlarında bir azınlık gibi yaşayan Filistinlilerin günlük yaşamını gözler önüne sermeye çalışıyor.
Film5.3BelgeselAt the 60th anniversary of Cannes Film Festival, 34 famous directors are followed by camera.
Film7.9BelgeselSeventy critics and filmmakers discuss cinema around the conflict between the artist and the observer, the creator and the critic. Between 1998 and 2007, Kléber Mendonça Filho recorded testimonies about this relationship in Brazil, the United States and Europe, based on his experience as a critic.
Film6.4BelgeselKhalo Matabane spent two years making the film, interviewing those who knew and loved Mandela, and also those who criticised him. Global thinkers, politicians and artists including the Dalai Lama, Henry Kissinger and Ariel Dorfman talk about the effect of his policies and his decision making. Their thoughts are weighed equally with ordinary South Africans like Charity Kondile, who refuses to forgive her son's apartheid operative murderer. Through these interviews, completed in the last months of Mandela's life, Matabane interrogates for himself the meaning of freedom, reconciliation and forgiveness. By doing so he challenges Mandela's enduring impact in today's world of conflict and inequality. Thought-provoking and reflective, Mandela, the Myth and Me is a moving film which frames Mandela from a fresh, deeply personal perspective. (Storyville)

Film6.6DramChronicle of a Disappearance unfolds in a series of seemingly unconnected cinematic tableaux, each of them focused on incidents or characters which seldom reappear later in the film. Among the many unrelated scenes, there is a Palestinian actress struggling to find an apartment in West Jerusalem, the owner of the Holy Land souvenir shop preparing merchandise for incoming Japanese tourists, a group of old women gossiping about their relatives, and an Israeli police van which screeches to a halt so several heavily armed soldiers can get off the car and urinate.
Film8.0BelgeselA film director, an actor, a musician, an organizer of festivals, a husband, a father, a grand-father, a friend, a professor... This film is an unexpected meeting with one of the most fascinating European film directors: Emir Kusturica. This is a journey to memory and forgetfulness. Beyond success, money, dependencies and pride. A deeper look into the world of Kusturica and his Wooden city at Mokra Gora. A tale about the won battles, as well as the lost ones. About the everlasting curiosity in filmmaking.
Film10.0BelgeselIn the train on the way to the Festival in Vesoul, filmmakers Amos Gitai and Elia Suleiman talk about the subjects that preoccupy them: war and peace in the Middle East, their film projects, their cities, their private lives… In Vesoul, the French welcome is rather comical and the questions of war and peace in the Middle East create misunderstandings: through a kind of inverted exoticism, we end up wondering who is really the “stranger” in this story.

FilmBelgeselIn this autobiographical film the Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman goes in search of his past and possible future in occupied Palestine. Wherever he looks, he feels surrounded by images and places that have a political significance. Can a landscape be free of meaning, is there any point in striving for an approach that transcends all ideology? Commissioned by the ARTE network as part of a series of films for the end of the millennium, this film is a travelogue through Jerusalem, Nazareth and Ramallah. The film is a meditation on quotidian injustices, and a formulation of an aesthetic and creative response to them.
