Interview with Joris Tobé, director of Frantic Attempts at the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the EFP FUTURE FRAMES – Generation NEXT of European Cinema.

Frantic Attempts:It is a comedic tale about how it’s never too late for a coming of age. This is the basis of Dutch Film Critics’ Award Best Graduation Film Frantic Attempts by Joris Tobé, screening at the at the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the EFP FUTURE FRAMES –Generation NEXT of European Cinema. With Robbert Bleij playing Matthias, a young man on a weekend course of self-discovery called “My Value on Earth,” paid by his girlfriend who just told him that He’s going a father, Tobé plays with the dramedy, the tragicomedy to definitely tell us and himself that we’re always coming of age, and it’s ok to wonder about our purpose in life and most importantly, we should always try to be better and do better.

 A.V.Rockwell’s debut feature, A Thousand and one, won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film festival in January 2023 and before its italian release on June 29th in Italy, it had its premiere in Taormina Film Fest, the 59th edition.

The film depicts a mother (Taylor) in New York City who will go to extreme lengths to keep her son out of the foster-care system. Taking place along 20 years of changes and the rapid gentrification in New York, A thousand and one is, to quote Rockwell, her way to finally portray a woman of color in a three dimensional way, as funny, strong, fragile and at the same time, a superhero.

R.M.N. or as it has been translated for its italian release Wild Animals – Animali Selvatici is, maybe, the most universal film, romanian director Cristian Mungiu has ever made. It is set in a multiethnic village in Transylvania, Romania, during the 2019–20 holiday season.

The original titles comes  from the Romanian acronym for nuclear magnetic resonance, as the film is “an investigation of the brain. A brain scan trying to detect things below the surface”. It is also a depiction of our inner struggle, the one with our wildest side, the survival instinct fighting whoever ( or whatever) we feel doesn’t belong. The italian release of Animali Selvatici is  July  the 6th.
