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.

PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Gia Coppola, director of the film Mainstream.

If it wasn’t for its setting, in the world of social media addiction, second feature film by Gia Coppola, Mainstream, screening at the 77th Venice Film Festival in the Orizzonti section, we could easily see the story of Frankie as the perfect fit in a classic movie era. Gia Coppola reveals her fascination for Elia Kazan’s A face in the crowd and admits this film’s influence into this old fashioned tale that she describes as “A love story of being in love with someone who doesn’t love themselves set against the new emerging culture of today’s world”.

Mainstream: Just above Hollywood Boulevard lives Frankie, a young woman in her early 20s trying to navigate who she wants to be. With the death of Frankie’s father still lingering, Frankie knows she wants to do something of meaning but isn’t sure how and with the world in a current state of so much content and narcissism, it’s hard to not “compare and despair.” Stuck working as a bartender at a corner comedy club with her best friend Jake, Frankie questions what people today really value. It isn’t until she has a few cosmic run-ins with the mysterious Link, a man that seems to live life without rules that it inspires Frankie to lm him and upload his anti-mainstream rants onto the internet. Together, with the help of Jake, this unlikely band of outsiders rise to internet stardom. However, it’s hard to stay sane when the pressure of relevancy becomes important and new characters, like manager Mark, start making demands to bring in money. To make matters more complicated, Frankie and Link start getting romantically entwined. Frankie watches as Link becomes the epitome of everything he once denounced. It isn’t until Link publicly humiliates a young fan Isabel and Jake quits the team that Frankie really questions if she is also becoming the monster she helped create. A love story of being in love with someone who doesn’t love themselves set against the new emerging culture of today’s world.

PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Maya Hawke, actress of the film Mainstream.

The audience fell in love with her thanks to her participation in Stranger Things and now Maya Hawke is the protagonist of Gia Coppola’s second feature film, Mainstream, screening at the 77th Venice Film Festival in the Orizzonti section. The actress and singer plays Frankie, a lonely and old fashioned girl desperately looking to find her place in the world and waiting to make a difference. Starring opposite Maya Hawke is Andrew Garfield playing a guy who is as lost as Frankie but in a magnetic and enigmatic way. Maya Hawke talks about her character focusing in particular on a scar on her character’s face: the key to her weakest point but also a soft way to connect with her and her past.
