Interview with Kanu Behl, director of Agra, presented at the 76th Festival de Cannes in the Quinzaine des cinéastes.

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.

Interview with João Salaviza and Renée Nader Messora, directors of Crowrã (The Buriti Flower), presented at the 76th Festival de Cannes in the Un Certain Regard section.

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.

Anatomy of a fall: Justine Triet directs the charismatic Sandra Hüller in a powerful court drama that manages to reflect on how women are still being judged for their sexuality, career and even motherhood. Anatomy of a fall was written with Hüller in the protagonist’s role since the beginning. Triet and Hüller walk us through the pivotal “argument” scene which is the core of the film and its meaning.

The Settlers is set in Chile in 1901 where three horsemen are hired by a rich landowner to mark out the perimeter of his expansive property. The expedition, composed of a young Chilean half blood, an American mercenary, and led by a reckless British lieutenant, soon turns into a “civilizing” raid.
