Aujourd'hui, Joëlle Dago-Serry, Emmanuel de Villiers et Antoine Diers débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot.

During demonstrations in apartheid-era South Africa, the police arrest Panic (Thomas Mogotlane), a mapantsula or petty gangster, while rounding up activists. His interrogation reveals the motivation for his involvement in the township riots. Once only concerned with partying, alcohol and his own interests, Panic finds himself being irreversibly pulled into the fray. Now, he is forced to choose between his personal freedom and taking a stand in the fight against the oppressive apartheid government. Directed by Oliver Schmitz and written by Schmitz and lead actor Thomas Mogotlane, "Mapantsula" has been hailed as the “first South African film to truly represent apartheid onscreen” (Okayafrica). Banned in its homeland and made while evading the local authorities, the film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes and went on to be selected as the South African entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars. Widely considered one of the most influential African motion pictures of all time, "Mapantsula" has been newly restored in 4K from the original 35MM negative. https://youtu.be/zeS9sfuuCz8?si=LMgKTLJrUktJcJaU

Le film obtient la Caméra d'or, le Prix d'interprétation Un Certain Regard et la Queer Palm au Festival de Cannes tandis que la prestation d'Arieh Worthalter est saluée par le Magritte du meilleur second rôle masculin. L'année suivante, il recevra à nouveau cette récompense pour son rôle dans le plébiscité « Duelles » d'Olivier Masset-Depasse. En 2021, on le retrouve dans « Serre Moi Fort » de Mathieu Amalric aux côtés de Vicky Krieps.

Propos recueillis par Benoit Basirico par téléphone “Les Femmes au balcon”, de Noémie Merlant, Au cinéma le 11 décembre 2024 Musique originale composée par Uèle Lamore Entretien à lire : https://www.cinezik.org/infos/affinfo.php?titre0=20240528144443 Uèle Lamore a signé la musique du film de Noémie Merlant, “Les Femmes au balcon” (au cinéma le 11 décembre 2024, présenté à Un Certain Regard, Cannes 2024). La réalisatrice fait partie des trois femmes (avec Sanda Codreanu, Souheila Yacoub) dans un appartement à Marseille, regardant leur mystérieux voisin d'en face, avant que ce jeu de séduction ne vire au délire. La partition évolue avec le récit, passant de la comédie à l'épouvante. Elle illustre le calme estival par un saxophone sensuel au début, pour ensuite adopter des notes plus abruptes avec des percussions, en intégrant à l'instrumentation un piano, un violon et des voix.

Premiato al Festival di Cannes 2024 con il premio per la Miglior Regia nella sezione Un Certain Regard, “I Dannati” di Roberto Minervini è un'opera potente e profondamente esistenziale. Un viaggio esperienziale che esplora le zone più ignote e inesplorate dell'animo umano, attraversando confini e frontiere tanto interiori quanto universali. Un film capace di interrogarsi sul senso della vita, restituendo un'intensa umanità attraverso una messa in scena straordinaria fatta di silenzi che, in un mondo sempre più anestetizzato, risuonano con un fragore assordante. Per accompagnare questa esperienza cinematografica, proponiamo un drink che ne rispecchi il carattere: un raffinato Boulevardier. La sua anima è il Bourbon, il whisky americano amato dai soldati del film, che in esso trovano conforto e calore. La combinazione con Campari e Vermouth dà vita a una bevuta dal sapore complesso e intellettuale, perfetta per riflettere sui temi profondi e sulla sensibilità che Minervini porta sullo schermo. “I Dannati” è ora disponibile su Tim Vision. #ciaksibrinda #cinema #recensionefilm #recensione #film #movie #drink #beverage #boulevardier #cocktail #minervini #idannati #festivaldecannes #cannesfilmfestival #cannes

Það má segja að stuttmyndin Síðasti bærinn hafi sett ákveðin tón í höfundaverk Rúnars Rúnarssonar leikstjóra sem hefur ómað síðan. Kvikmyndir Rúnars eru oftar en ekki teknar á filmu, þær eru ljóðrænar þroskasögur um fólk á tímamótum, þar sem umhverfið leikur stórt hlutverk. Þetta eru stórar sögur sem fjalla um það smáa í tilverunni. Hann komst inn í Danska kvikmyndaháskólann með Síðasta bænum og hún ferðaðist um heiminn, hlaut fjölda alþjóðlegra verðlauna og var þar að auki tilnefnd til Óskarsverðlauna. Tvær stuttmyndir sem einnig nutu mikilla velgengni fylgdu í kjölfarið og árið 2011 frumsýndi Rúnar Eldfjall, sína fyrstu mynd í fullri lengd. Þrestir og Bergmál komu í kjölfarið og velgengni Rúnars á alþjóðlegum kvikmyndahátíðum hélt áfram. Rúnar frumsýnir sína nýjustu kvikmynd Ljósbrot á Cannes á næstu dögum en hún er opnunarmynd í Un Certain Regard-flokki hátíðar­inn­ar, þar sem kvik­mynd­um sem sýna list­ræna djörf­ung er hampað. Rúnar verður gestur Víðsjár í Svipmynd dagsins. Umsjón: Halla Harðardóttir og Tómas Ævar Ólafsson.

Today's episode of Girls On Film is about the winner of the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, How to Have Sex. Anna Smith is joined by Molly Manning Walker, who wrote and directed How to Have Sex, and Mia McKenna-Bruce, whose performance as Tara earned her the BIFA for Best Lead Performance and Best Actress at the European Film Awards. The film shows Tara and her two best friends from school, Skye (Lara Peake) and Em (Enva Lewis), celebrating the end of their GCSE exams on a girls trip to Malia. In a flurry of neon mini dresses, fish bowl cocktails and an intriguing group of eighteen-year-olds in the same holiday complex, the girls navigate the worlds of sex, consent and self-discovery. How to Have Sex has been hailed by viewers as a vibrant and authentic depiction of the agonies, and ecstasies of girlhood, and in this episode Mia and Molly talk about the filming process, as well as the film's impact on viewers, from critics at Cannes to teenagers in the classroom. Molly talks about the importance of building meaningful backstories for all her characters, and creating a ‘360 degree' set to give her cast an authentic background to work against. The pair recall the excitement of working on a project like this, where club nights and football matches were a common fixture among cast and crew. They also speak to Anna about the ‘bittersweet' response to the film, citing how it has sparked meaningful conversations about sex and consent, but also how it is exposing just how many people have been affected by the issues that How to Have Sex explores.

The 30th edition of the New York African Film Festival runs May 10 to 16 at Film at Lincoln Center, with a showcase that spans the historic past and the vital present of cinema from Africa. Last weekend, the festival hosted a special conversation in tribute to the great filmmaker Safi Faye, who passed away in February. Faye is best known as the first woman from Sub-Saharan Africa to ever direct a commercial feature film—1976's Kaddu Beykat—but the Senegalese pioneer's accomplishments and groundbreaking influence extend far beyond that landmark. Introduced to the world of cinema via an acting role in Jean Rouch's Petit à petit (1971), Faye went on to create a monumental body of work that includes award-winning shorts and features, including Selbe: One Among Many (1983), and Mossane, which won the Un Certain Regard award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997. Through both documentary and fiction modes, Faye sought to capture the agency, subjectivity, and beauty of African women, and bring to vivid life the everyday realities of rural Senegal.  To explore Faye's legacy and lasting influence on African women's cinema today, NYAFF brought together the filmmakers Nuotama Bodomo, Jessica Beshir, Akosua Adoma Owusu, and Johanna Makabi for a roundtable led by the scholar and critic Yasmina Price. Film Comment is thrilled to share the conversation on today's episode in collaboration with the festival.
