Tribeca Film Festival
By Ioannis Pappos
In quantum laboratories around the world you can see an object in two different places at once. Yes, at the same time. Laugh, I used to, but quantum physics is a radical science. I studied electrical engineering, was taught Heisenberg’s theory that atoms are not things but rather tendencies, and still I can’t totally believe that one object can be in more than one place at the same time. Heisenberg was the first paradox in my adult life, so...
KVIFF CAPSULE REVIEWS by Alex Deleon
The competition film “Zabic Bobra" (To Kill a Beaver) by Polish director Jan Jakub Kolski is a grisly psychological drama that tries to show what it is like inside the head of a returning professional soldier who cannot readjust to everyday life.

“Men are in the gloom!”
Director Reis Çelik talks about his film, Night of Silence
in the National Competition. In the film on child-brides, Reis Çelik is
in obstinacy just like he was in İnat Hikayeleri. He puts such a strong
actor as İlyas Salman and a beautiful young girl in the marriage room
and never leaves the room. He makes us watch the film even without
breathing for 90 minutes. The film returned with a Crystal Bear from
Berlin Film Festival, and its journey in T...
