PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Michel Franco, director of the film Nuevo Orden.

“This film is a warning: if inequality is not addressed by civic means, and if all dissenting voices are silenced, chaos ensues”. Mexican director Michel Franco explains in these few sentences the whole meaning of his new dystopian thriller Nuevo Orden, in competition at the 77th Venice Film Festival. According to Franco, the film is set in a possible future as nobody is safe and ambiguity is key. Nuevo Orden is not a J’accuse against military groups and/or the elite but instead we are equally part of sick mechanism where there’s no sense of community. The film, says Franco, doesn’t want to send a message but to act as a warning.

Nuevo Orden: In this riveting, suspenseful dystopian drama, a lavish upper-class wedding goes awry in an unexpected uprising of class warfare that gives way to a violent coup d’etat. As seen through the eyes of the sympathetic young bride and the servants who work for- and against- her wealthy family, Nuevo Orden breathlessly traces the collapse of one political system as a more harrowing replacement springs up in its wake.

PODCAST | Angelo Acerbi interviews Ameen Nayfeh and Ali Suliman, director and actor of the film 200 Meters.

Ameen Nayfeh in his film 200 meters the life of a family divided by the wall between Israel and Palestine, with 200 meters between them. It is a real life situation very common and strange for us; Ali Suliman tells us more about managing this partially separated life and the reality described in the film.

200 Meters: Mustafa and his wife Salwa come from two Palestinian villages that are only 200 meters apart, but separated by the wall. Their unusual living situation is starting to affect their otherwise happy marriage, but the couple does what they can to make it work. Every night, Mustafa flashes a light from his balcony to wish his children on the other side a goodnight, and they signal him back. One day Mustafa gets a call that every parent dreads: his son has been in an accident. He rushes to the checkpoint where he must agonisingly wait in line only to find out there is a problem with his fingerprints and is denied entry. Desperate, Mustafa resorts to hiring a smuggler to bring him across. His once 200-meter journey becomes a 200-kilometer odyssey joined by other travellers determined to cross.
