29 July: Day 5
Day 5 was a great day with outstanding movies, a nice chat with the manager of the festival and a sold out premiere!
The source (La source des femmes) is a fantastic film, fresh from its debut at Cannes.
It's set in North Africa or the Middle East in a very conservative society and it must have rocked the boat of the Muslim community when it was released.
I've never seen a film set in such a society that dares to talk about sex so openly.
In the film, the women of the v...
28 July: Day 4
Day 4 was filled with very serious movies and a light-hearted Canadian doccie that had its first screening outside North America.
I loved St Henri, the 26th of August, maybe its because of my journalistic background as we're always trying to find these little stories in the community - the hairstylist, the boxer, the shopkeeper. It's candy to the soul.
This Montreal suburb, although it seems ghetto-like, has wonderful characters and the 14 filmmakers did a fine job to f...
25 July: Day 1
The Weather Girls sing about it's raining men. In Durban it's raining wonderful films and the weather is miserable too in what is normally a balmy sub-tropical city.
I have been planning my viewing schedule since the programme was released a month ago and it constantly changed as there is so much to see and the films are so varied and the must-see ones clash. I try to include the big festival winners - and they are all in Durban. I left the schedule 80% percent comp...
Director: Deborah Burns.
A short film about Hannah’s journey to feed an illusive monster lurking in the woods. Set in the future, her village lives in harmony with nature. The monster is their only problem. Every time he is hungry he roars, and the villagers hold a lottery. The unlucky winner must sneak into the forest to drop off food and then get out quickly. As a result no one has ever seen the monster. Hannah is a curious teen who inadvertently breaks rules. As a consequence her journey will end much differently than her predecessors.
This is the trailer for the up and coming short film, Monster, directed by Deborah Burns starring Jodelle Ferland.
