L'émission 28 Minutes du 03/05/2022 Au programme de l'émission du 3 mai 2022 ⬇ Cinéma : le sort tragi-comique de réfugiés sur une île écossaise“J'avais tenté plusieurs fois ma chance en France, mais c'était impossible. […] Et tout à coup, avec “Borgen”, tout devenait possible. Cette série a été un fantastique passeport.” Comédienne danoise née à Copenhague, Sidse Babett Knudsen est depuis 2010, le visage de la série politique diffusée sur ARTE, qui l'a fait connaître au public français. Elle a par la suite joué pour Emmanuelle Bercot dans “La fille de Brest”, et aux côtés de Fabrice Luchini dans “L'Hermine”, qui lui a fait gagner le César de la meilleure actrice dans un second rôle. “Avec ce prix” dit-elle, “j'ai eu aussi le sentiment de faire partie d'une famille. De la famille du cinéma français”. Ce 4 mai, elle est à l'affiche de l'engagé “Limbo” de Ben Sharrock, qui nous emmène sur une petite île d'Écosse, où un groupe de demandeurs d'asile attend de connaître son sort. Sidse Babett Knudsen est notre invitée. Gaz russe : l'Union Européenne refuse de payer en roubles / Faut-il instaurer un embargo pour répondre au chantage de Poutine ?Depuis le mercredi 27 avril, la Russie a interrompu ses livraisons de gaz à la Pologne et à la Bulgarie. Est-ce là le début d'une série ? Les ministres européens de l'énergie se réunissent en tout cas lundi 2 et mardi 3 mai à Bruxelles pour discuter des mesures d'urgence à mettre en œuvre, en cas de rupture d'approvisionnement en gaz russe. La Bulgarie et la Pologne sont désormais approvisionnées en gaz “par leurs voisins de l'UE”, a rapporté la présidente de la Commission européenne Ursula von der Leyen, qui qualifie la mesure russe de “chantage au gaz”. En effet, Moscou a justifié cette coupure par le refus des deux pays de payer en roubles, bien que les contrats signés prévoient un paiement en dollars ou en euros. Les livraisons de gaz russe vers l'Europe ont baissé de 27% entre janvier et avril 2022. Pourra-t-on s'en passer totalement ? On en débat avec nos invités.Enfin, retrouvez également les chroniques de Paola Puerari et d'Alix Van Pée !                    28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au vendredi à 20h05.

This week we're talking about Limbo (2020), a British indie film written and directed by Ben Sharrock. It's a story about a Syrian musician, Omar, who is seeking asylum in the UK on a (very cold) Scottish island. He and his three housemates take cultural awareness classes and wait in a near-empty house for their asylum claims to be processed. We chat about the deadpan humour, the characters and the unexpected 'Friends' cameo. We were also lucky enough to ask Amir El-Masry, who plays Omar, some questions about his time preparing for the role and shooting the film. It sounded like a lot of fun. Enjoy!Limbo is available to watch on MUBINext episode's film: Ponyo (2008) directed by Hayao MiyazakiPonyo is available to watch on Netflix (UK) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hard to feel like you belong anywhere when you don't have a home...Limbo is a wry and poignant observation of the refugee experience, set on a fictional remote Scottish island where a group of new arrivals await the results of their asylum claims. It centers on Omar (Amir El-Masry), a young Syrian musician who is burdened by his grandfather's oud, which he has carried all the way from his homeland.This movie, which is now available for purchase on VOD platforms (rent and purchase on Blu-Ray on July 13th) really resonates because it's honest and lets us see real people in these situations rather then trying to make some kind of political statement.We got the unique pleasure to sit down with stars Vikash Bhai, Amir El-Masry and writer/director Ben Sharrock about the making of, inspiration of and genuine humanistic message that comes through in this film...

When it comes to telling stories about the European refugee crisis, filmmakers tend to stick with heartbreaking dramas. But, Ben Sharrock's 'Limbo' has been praised for its unusual approach. Zeynep Gokce has more. Ben Sharrock, Director of ‘Limbo' 02:50 #Limbo #BenSharrock #Cinema

Today’s guest on the show is Scottish award-winning filmmaker, and writer, Ben Sharrock, known for his Cannes Official Selection 2020 feature film, Limbo, and Pikadero, among others. Ben’s unique visually captivating films are inspired by middle eastern and northern European cinema. Interpreting middle eastern character in his films as he does in some of his recent work stems from an academic background in Middle East Cinema, Fine Arts, and working advertising in Dubai. The rooted connection --- learning and understanding these cultures carved a for Ben, a unique cinematic voice in the industry.Sharrock and his producing and life partner, Irune Gurtubai founded their production company, Caravan Cinemas under which they premiered their first film, Pikadero at the 2015 San Sebastian International Film Festival. A penniless, young couple has trouble consummating their fledgling relationship in their parents' homes, forcing their relationship into question as they try to break free from the shackles of a crumbling economy.The film which had initially gone by Patata Tortilla was Sharrock and Gurtubai’s Screen Academy Scotland graduation film. They won two awards at the Zurich Film Festival in 2015, Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature Film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2016, and two BAFTA awards that year for new Talent Best Drama and Best Screenplay.The recognition of Pikadero made it easier to get funding to write the screenplay for Limbo which came out in 2020.Ben directed and wrote the original screenplay for Limbo---a wry and poignant observation of the refugee experience which follows Omar, a promising musician and Syrian refugee who is separated from his family, stuck on a remote Scottish island awaiting the fate of his asylum request. Ben approaches the sensitive issues of refugees' dehumanization and orientalism in this film with absurd humor and honesty. The film was nominated at this year’s BAFTA for Best British Film, Best debut and best international Feature Film for the GoldenEye.I truly had a fun time geeking out on a tandem with Ben about film lenses, and cameras and learning of his film influences and transferred skills from his career in advertising to filmmaking. Enjoy my conversation with Ben Sharrock.

In this episode, Alexi and Murtada talk about the March on Broadway organized by the Actor’s Equity Association. They discuss the need for systemic reform to prevent future manifestations of abusive behavior within the theatre industry. Both hope that this reckoning is just the beginning of an industry-wide effort towards transformational change. The friends also review the film Limbo directed by Ben Sharrock and the play Honduras written by Sara Farrington. Both pieces portray the experiences of immigrants and asylum seekers leaving their homeland and establishing their lives in new countries. Limbo takes a whimsical approach that Murtada likens to Waiting for Godot, whereas Honduras tells the stories of 3 Honduran mothers in very much the same style as Anna Deveare Smith’s one-woman show Fires in the Mirror. Limbo opens in theatres April 30th and Honduras will be available to stream May 3rd-8th. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After being blamed for the exposure, and ultimately the assassination, of several members of his own team, Nicolas disappeared into a life of solitude and indignity. Now, two years removed, he is reluctantly drawn back into this dangerous world – with both enemies and supposed friends coming after him – to not only clear his name, but to prevent the killing of a new generation of noble operatives.Release Date: In theaters Friday, April 16, 2021 and available on demand Friday, April 23, 2021Directed by: Brad TurnerScreenplay by: Michael VickersonStarring: Barry Pepper, Colm Feore, Laura Vandervoort, Eve Harlow, Jayne Eastwood, and Karen RobinsonDistributor: Screen MediaGenre: Action, ThrillerRunning Time: 1 hour 22 minutesNot Rated LimboWebsite: Focus FeaturesSynopsis: Recently nominated for two BAFTA® awards for Best British Film and Best Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer, LIMBO is a wry and poignant observation of the refugee experience, set on a fictional remote Scottish island where a group of new arrivals await the results of their asylum claims.
