Crowrã (The Buriti Flower): Through the story of Guru, a sexually frustrated 25-year-old call center operator who still lives with his parents in crowded Agra, Kanu Behl tells us a story of the contested space: or how the emancipation of a young person can only be achieved through access to the property. In the interview Kanu tells us something more about her film, where she took inspiration to tell this story, the importance of the female figures in the film and the difference between our secret and public persona.

Crowrã (The Buriti Flower): The Buriti Flower, the new film by João Salaviza and Renée Nader Messora presented at the Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard session, is a journey through three periods in the history of the Krahô people, in the north of the state of Tocantins, in the heart of the Brazilian forest. As the directors told us, the film brings to the fore one of the most urgent themes of today: the struggle for the land and the different forms of resistance implemented by this incredible community. Salaviza and Messora also spoke about the film’s shoot, which lasted fifteen months, their daughter’s importance in establishing a relationship of trust with the Krahôs, and the decision to film in 16mm.

Terrestrial Verses: Iranian directors Alireza Khatami and Ali Asgari met in Venice some years ago and decided to join forces and co-direct Terrestrial Verses, premiering at the 76th Festival de Cannes in the Un Certain Regard Section. The film aims to explore power dynamics in contemporary Iranian society but at the same time manages to invite the audience to evaluate power in their own lives. As it is very personal and focused on real stories happened in Iran, the film is very universal.

Interview with Mohamed Kordofani director of Goodbye Julia, presented at the 76th Festival de Cannes in Un Certain Regard.

Goodbye Julia: Goodbye Julia, the first feature film of Mohamed Kordofani, is the story of the friendship between two women Julia and Mona, two completely different worlds, representation of the Northern and Southern communities of Sudan. The story takes place in Khartoum during the last years of Sudan as a united country but we soon discover that it is only an apparent unity since the cultural differences that make the political situation precarious permeate the film. Kordofani tells us why he decided to tell this story from a female point of view, and the importance to find a way for a new national identity. Since Goodbye Julia is the first Sudanese film presented at the Cannes Film Festival, we also asked Mohamed Kordofani about the situation of cinema in Sudan.
