41ST DURBAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL GOES VIRTUAL WITH ONLINE DIGITAL EDITION

The University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Centre for Creative Arts (CCA), will once again host the Durban International Film Festival (DIFF) from 10 to 20 September 2020. Now celebrating its landmark 41st year, this prestigious South African international film festival is a unique phenomenon on the African cultural calendar. This year the festival will screen selected films, host seminars and workshops virtually and include limited drive-in cinema screenings in Durban, Port Shepstone, Newcastle and Zululand.

Opening Night’s Film stars the late legendary leading actress Mary Twala in her final role, with a virtual and a drive-in screening of the film “This is not a Burial, but a Resurrection”, by Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese. The film is co-production between South Africa, Lesotho and Italy. The visually striking drama, set in the mountains of Lesotho, opens with an elderly widow named Mantoa (Mary Twala), grieving the loss of her son. Determined to die and be laid to rest with her family, her plans are interrupted when she discovers that the village and its cemetery will be forcibly resettled to make way for a dam reservoir. Refusing to let the dead be desecrated, she finds a new will to live and ignites a collective spirit of defiance within her community.

“This film was specifically selected to open the festival, because it sheds some light onto the land issues in Lesotho by telling a very personal story through the journey of one woman. Its sophisticated imagery, the stunning, haunting landscapes that appreciate the depth of the magnificence that is the African landscape and how this was intertwined so effortlessly into the narrative is a true homage to African folklore.” says Head of Programming Chipo Zhou.

Closing Film is the thriller Dust, directed by Pieter du Plessis, and with actress Shana Mans in the lead role. A story of female oppression and emancipation, a contemporary look at the current global discourse on women’s rights. This film is apt on the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic whose effects will be seen and felt globally for years to come.

This year’s opening and closing film selections are narratives that push boundaries and open up dialogue to contemporary challenges being faced in society today. Both films celebrate unparalleled performances by two South African leading ladies.

“Both narratives are about finding strength and resilience in the face of seemingly insurmountable injustice and speak very much on the human emotional need to connect, belong and be a part of something much greater than themselves. Set in two very different worlds, and centred on seemingly unconnected issues, both films tackle loss and trauma delicately and uniquely.” Says Zhou.

The Programme The festival has curated a film programme consisting of 60 offerings consisting of shorts, documentaries and feature films. The plots in the selected films, through different lenses, show contemporary relevance to the challenges currently faced by the world which has, over the last years, progressively begun to interrogate history to right wrongs and restore human dignity to previously disenfranchised populaces. Some of the films that highlight these themes include Our Lady of the Nile, directed by Atiq Rahimi, which takes us on a journey that juxtaposes religion and mythology in a beautiful tale set on the backdrop of the Tutsi and Hutu conflict that ravaged Rwanda for decades. Ouvertures, directed by Louis Henderson and Olivier Marboeuf, explores the social abundance and history of Haiti, where the brutal legacy is slavery and how the world has begun to collectively revisit the past to try and heal the wounds that are still globally felt. In the film Beanpole by Kantemir Balagov, two young women, in the aftermath of World War II, search for meaning and hope as they struggle to rebuild their lives among the ruins. The documentary In Your Eyes, I See my Country where Neta Elkayam and Amit Haï Cohen live in Jerusalem where they created a band that revisits and reshapes their common Jewish-Moroccan musical heritage. They grapple with this identity duality; an attempt to heal the wounds of exile carried by their parents. A captivating narrative musically driven, they reshape their perception of who they are and want to become, along with aspirations to consolidate bridges with the homeland of their ancestors. A Rifle and a Bag, a documentary by Isabella Rinaldi, Cristina Haneș and first-time feature-length director, Arya Rothe is an insightful love story that survives a decade of armed struggle and violence. A search for a new identity in the aftermath of a violent past. Bereka, a short film directed by Nesanet Teshager Abegaze exquisitely explores similar themes of memory, migration and rebirth. 

The DIFF Awards Head of programming, Chipo Zhou is proud to announce the films in competition, that are diverse but have a common threat of revisiting the past as a way to instill hope for the future. “The physical and internal wars and struggles in the films that explore what seemed impossible decades ago is now but a distant memory that we dissect in art as a way to reflect and create a better world. 2020 has proved to have been a very trying year, one of which despair and hopelessness enveloped the world. We are in this moment living the history of tomorrow. These narratives are mirrors of the art that the generations after us will create looking back at this very moment. The festival looks to the future, optimistic that this is not the apocalypse by exploring the histories that in those moments, could have felt like the very end.” Says Zhou. On the advancement of the film industry, she adds “The industry has changed, how film is created and consumed has evolved dramatically. The way we showcase has been propelled into the future, by the Covid19 pandemic, and the festival will, for the very first time be presented online. Virtual platforms store everything in perpetuity as an archive of the showcase and subsequent dialogue around the issues highlighted in the narratives. This archive will be a great contribution to the future of film scholarship on the continent and beyond.”

isiPhethu At the heart of the University of KwaZulu Natal is a mission to redress the imbalances of the past, and its contribution to this mission through the Centre for Creative Arts is emphasised through a robust community engagement programme titled isiPhethu. This year, in addition to drive-in screenings in the greater KwaZulu-Natal, the programme will host various online workshops and seminars. isiPhethu aims to entertain, educate, train and up-skill, instill confidence to young aspirant filmmakers and share information that is relevant to the film industry to empower young people.

“The idea is to link the film community virtually in these trying times where the Covid-19 pandemic threatens not just our lives but the arts in general”, says Isiphethu curator Sakhile Gumede.

A range of top facilitators and guest speakers are featured, under which multi-award-winning filmmaker Shirley Bruno and producer and actor Michal Birnbaun. DIFF is also proud to host the New York-based writer, producer and director of ‘Equal Standard’ which tackles the issue of police brutality in the US. Taheim will be joined by a few of his colleagues to give the DIFF audiences an in-depth insight into his work.  South African born documentary filmmaker Jessie Zinn now based in the US, will be joined by award-winning documentary filmmaker and photographer Simon Wood to discuss new approaches to documentary filmmaking.

“Many young people will undergo training through these programmes. The video production and scriptwriting workshops both aimed at development of young makers. This year we have opted to engage in virtual workshops, and this allowed us to bring many players on board from across the globe. Some of the highlights include speakers from the San Francisco Black Film Festival, SWIFT, Visual Network SA, George Mason University, Coastal-conferences”, added Gumede.

isiPhethu Community film screenings, school programmes and engagements with various community organisations around the city of Durban and the province of KwaZulu Natal will be the pulse of this year’s Isiphethu industry-focused programme at DIFF. The isiPhethu programme remains a backbone of DIFF and act as a centre stage for the industry role players to showcase their work, talents, and network in the film industry. The vibrant programme aims to entertain, educate, train and up-skill, instill confidence to young aspirant film-makers and share information that is relevant to the film industry to empower young people. A range of top facilitators, guest speakers and participants will be featured. They will headline several of these programmes as the DIFF continues to position itself as one of the biggest and most significant festivals on the continent.

Première bande-annonce de l’anthologie finlandaise des stéréotypes de genre «Force of Habit»

“Ces jours-ci, il est difficile de savoir si vous pouvez même embrasser quelqu’un.” Tuffi Films a dévoilé la première bande-annonce promotionnelle d’un long métrage indépendant intitulé Force d’habitude, qui a récemment été présenté au Festival du film de Göteborg en Suède le mois dernier. Tuffi Films a mis sur pied ce projet pour commenter les stéréotypes de genre et le sexisme, et a embauché 15 réalisatrices et scénaristes différentes pour produire des segments. Ce film, Force d’habitude, comprend six des segments assemblés en une fonction de 75 minutes. Les épisodes représentent quatre des principaux problèmes liés au genre dans la société moderne: le consentement, le viol, le regard et la dynamique du pouvoir. À première vue, c’est brutalement honnête et habilitant, et la gifle juste dont beaucoup ont encore besoin. La distribution de l’ensemble comprend Eero Ritala, Krista Kosonen, Pinja Sanaksenaho, Suvi Blick, et Julia Lappalainen. Cela a l’air génial! Vaut vraiment le détour. “Gardez cette même énergie et vous sauverez le monde.”

Voici la première bande-annonce promo (+ affiche finlandaise) pour Tuffi Films ‘ Force d’habitude, directement de Youtube:

Un film de sept réalisatrices nous montre des moments de la vie des femmes qui restent généralement cachés. Force of Habit suit la vie de diverses femmes tout au long d’une journée. La production entièrement féminine explore les différentes formes de discrimination auxquelles sont confrontées les femmes en public et en privé. Force d’habitude, initialement connu sous le nom Tottumiskysymys en finnois, est un film d’anthologie conçu par sept cinéastes uniques et réalisé par la société de production finlandaise Tuffi Films. Avec des segments écrits et réalisés par ces cinéastes: Reetta Aalto (Gris violet: Odd One Out), Alli Haapasalo (Amour et fureur, “Shadow Lines” de MTV3), Anna Paavilainen, Kirsikka Saari (“Paras vuosi ikinä”), Miia Tervo (Aurore, Santra ja puhuvat puut), Elli Toivoniemi (Une fois que j’étais une libellule), et Jenni Toivoniemi (Jeux que les gens jouent). Cela vient de faire sa première au Festival du film de Göteborg en Suède plus tôt cette année, et a ouvert ses portes en Finlande à la fin de l’année dernière. Il recherche toujours des accords de distribution internationaux – restez à l’écoute pour des mises à jour supplémentaires. Tes pensées? Intrigué?

Die Auswahl steht: Das sind die 28 Filmprojekte der zweiten Ausgabe von European Work in Progress Cologne

Wenn am 14. Oktober, während des Film Festival Cologne die zweite Ausgabe von European Work in Progress Cologne (EWIP) startet, haben die Produktionsteams, die hinter den 28 sorgfältig ausgewählten Projekten stehen, die Möglichkeit ihre Filmproduktionen einem internationalen Branchenpublikum zu präsentieren. Ziel der Veranstaltung ist es, diese kreativen Köpfe mit führenden Experten und Vertretern internationaler Verleihfirmen, Weltvertriebe, Filmfestivals und anderen Branchendelegierten zusammenzubringen, um Kooperations- und Finanzierungsstrategien weiterzuentwickeln und zu finalisieren.

Torsten Frehse, Vorstandsmitglied der AG Verleih: „Wir sind nicht nur von der Vielfalt, sondern auch von der Qualität der von uns ausgewählten Projekte überzeugt und freuen uns sehr, dass wir die Anzahl der Präsentationen erhöhen konnten. Nach den vielen Erfolgsgeschichten im letzten Jahr sind wir schon jetzt gespannt, was die Zukunft für unsere diesjährige Filmauswahl bereithält!“

Die 28 Projekte befinden sich alle in der Postproduktion, variieren aber in Themen und Genre. Im Gegensatz zum Vorjahr war es erstmals möglich, Dokumentarfilme einzureichen. Die renommierte Produktionsfirma ROAD MOVIES hat einen der mit Spannung erwarteten Dokumentarfilme eingereicht. Darüber hinaus wird AL-ONE einen Animationsfilm präsentieren - eine weitere EWIP-Premiere. Nach dem Erfolg von "Martin Eden" auf internationalen Filmfestivals wird auch die Produktionsfirma THE MATCH FACTORY mit einem neuen Projekt dabei sein. Ebenso wie Joram Willink, Mitbegründer von BIND, der die Niederlande als Producer on the Move bei den Internationalen Filmfestspielen in Cannes 2019 vertrat.

Die diesjährigen Teilnehmer sind nicht nur vielfältig, sondern auch internationaler. So wird es beispielsweise südamerikanische, osteuropäische und afrikanische Koproduktionen geben. MANEKI FILMS nimmt mit einer brasilianisch-franz��sischen Koproduktion an European Work in Progress Cologne teil. Philipp Yuryev, der sich mit ROCK FILMS für eine russisch-polnisch-belgische Koproduktion zusammengetan hat, ist ein aufstrebender Nachwuchsregisseur in Russland. AVALON ist Koproduzent eines spanisch-mexikanischen Projekts. Weitere hochkarätige Produktionsfirmen, die in diesem Jahr dabei sein werden, sind MA.JA.DE, TUFFI FILMS, RED BALLOON und COOP99 FILMPRODUKTION.

Während des Events werden alle Filmprojekte in Pitching-Sessions erfahrenen Branchenkennern vorgestellt. Ziel ist es, neue Partner für die Kinoauswertung, den Weltvertrieb oder für Gap-Finanzierung zu finden sowie das Projekt in einem frühen Stadium internationalen Festivals zu präsentieren. European Work in Progress Cologne schafft somit einen produktiven Raum, in dem verschiedene Multiplikatoren der Branche zusammenkommen, um Möglichkeiten der Zusammenarbeit zu entwickeln. Neben One-to-One Meetings wird European Work in Progress Cologne von verschiedenen Podiumsdiskussionen und Workshops in Zusammenarbeit mit Creative Europe Desks Germany und EAVE begleitet. Verschiedene Abendveranstaltungen und die Preisverleihung runden das Programm ab. Unterstützt wird EWIP maßgeblich von der Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, einem der führenden Förderhäuser Europas, und ausgerichtet von der AG Verleih, dem Verband der deutschen unabhängigen Filmverleiher.

Eine hochkarätige Jury bestehend aus Lili Hinstin, künstlerische Leiterin des Locarno Film Festivals, Margrit Stärk, Leiterin des Spielfilm-Einkaufs bei ZDF Enterprises, Sabina Kodra, Mitgründerin der albanischen Filmproduktionsfirma ERAFILM, und Yohann Comte, Sales Agent und Mitgründer des Weltvertriebs Charades aus Frankreich, vergibt Preise in einem fünfstelligen Gesamtwert, die Postproduktionsdienstleistungen sowie die Pressebetreuung bei einem internationalen Festival umfassen.
