Festival Section: Quinzaine des Réalisateurs.

FRED meets Thomas Cailley, director of the film FIGHTERS (Les Combattants), presented at the Quinzaine des Réalizateurs at the 67th Cannes Film Festival.

This is the story of a boy and a girl brought together in an army camp – a good old fashioned case opposites attracting as they prepare for an inevitable end of the world. As Cailley calls it, Love at First Sight is the cinematic blend of Casablanca and Rambo 3.

Adberrahmane Sissako, Director, Timbuktu 

Festival section: Main Competition

FRED meets Abderrahmane Sissako, director of the film TIMBUKTU, presented in the official selection of the 67th Cannes Film Festival.

Timbuktu is silent, the doors closed, the streets empty. No more music, no tea, no cigarettes, no bright colors, no laughs. The women have become shadows. The religious fundamentalists are spreading terror in the region.

In the dunes, away from the chaos, Kidane enjoys a quiet life with his wife Satima, his daughter Toya and Issan, his little shepherd. But his peace is short-lived. After accidentally killing Amadou, a fisherman who stroke down his favorite cow, Kidane must face the law of the new foreign rulers determined to defeat an open and tolerant Islam.

Against the humiliations and acts of brutality performed by these complex men, Timbuktu tells the story of the silent struggle of the people, the fight for life of little Issan, and the uncertain future of the children.
