I can see the film many times, and like to watch the faces of the people watching.
In a runaway train it is very important to burn the bridges behind you.
The Columbian, Brazilian and French co-production film ‘LA PLAYA D.C.’ (2012) by Columbian director Juan Andrés Arango held its world premier last week in the ‘Un Certain Regard’ section of the 65th Cannes Film Festival.

Sebastian Leutner creates animated worlds, which combine reality and fiction. 34 y.o. VFX producer from German Pixomondo received an Oscar for his work on Martin Scorsese’s Hugo in 2012.

These are not Elias Demetriou’s words. They were said by one of the female characters in the film Fish N’Chips,
with which the director participates in the International Competiion of
the SIFF. But they are essential for the understanding of the entire
film. The subject is very suitable for
a comedy, but Demetriou
chooses a completely different approach, creting a serious film, which
in today’s multicultural situation in Europe poses a very important
question: Who we are – t...
During the meeting with the audience after the screening of his film Baggage
in the Cinema House, Danis Tanovic said that he’s actually quite a
joyful person and loves to laugh. But in our conversation he was quite
serious and said that certain things make him quite pessimistic. Going
back through his films, it is easy to spot the humor in all of them, but
it usually serves to lighten up a very dark situation, and to help you
through it. Perhaps, the more seriously you look towards...

If I ask your friends to describe you, what would they say?
They
would say that I am someone that can`t stop moving. Combined with my
cinema profession in Madrid I play also on a latin music band in Paris.
The result: last week in Guadalajara, now in Sofia (laughing), and next
week going to Paris for a concert there. So my friends also usually say
that they can never see me.
What qualities do you feel a successful artist should have?
I
think, and I hope there is not a...
How did “Sofia Meetings” exactly help in the production of movies of young Bulgarian filmmakers and in finding partners?
It helped in establishing contacts with extremely helpful and
experienced people, with sharing of the experiences of these people by
raising the level of writing the screenplays, screenwriting development,
the basics of the regulation mechanisms for doing co-productions. It
turned into a know-how on how to do the things and how they happen.
Which a...
Mr. Davidson, how did the story of "The Odds" appear actually?
Everything
started from an article I read several years ago – about 17-year high
school students in Singapore, infatuated with illegal betting (in their
case: for the games of NBA) and about the problems one of the boys
encountered thanks to his addicition... But the story is also connected
with my own teenage years, when I was 17 or maybe even 16. I myself come
from a small town in Western part of Canad...
Let’s start with that – what do actually Stephen Aposolof’s “dirty movies” mean?
Once
this type of movies that Apostolof has made, were called “dirty movies”
– that is to be distinguished from pornography, which precisely in
those years (early ‘70s) invaded the American cinema. Somehow all these
films enliven the atmosphere – such were the times: the 60s, experiments
with various drugs, rock music... This was a free time and this type of
erotic films, called s...
