Film Festival of Marrakech: And the nominees are ...
15 films for the tenth edition, we will be able to feast, from December 3 to 11, for the MIFF. If programmers have decided to go pick their films around the world (from Australia to Mexico, via Morocco and Sri Lanka), but they kept a constant, a thread that will lead projection projection: 10 of these films are first films, three of the latter. Little (or not) of known names, therefore, but few heads promising. Thus, only 28 years old, came to make Talal Selhami Mirages in Casablanca and Ouarzazate, a fable about a group of five unemployed in a race for a prestigious job. Embedded in a mysterious test, and dropped in the desert after an accident, the word "test" finds its full meaning.
Only other African film, Karma, Sri Lankans Prasanna Jaykody.
Among the crowd of anonymous people who are going to press this week, note also the name of Philip Seymour Hoffman. If unknown in the seraglio of directors, he directed his first theater actors and, especially, has shown many times in some wonderful films. Whether in the title role of Capote, the film about the life of the famous writer and journalist Capote (with a Golden Globe and an Oscar for best actor in passing) in Mission Impossible: III, or even in the crazy Big Lebowsky the Coen brothers, it is usually fly. We'll see if he is as good on the other side of the camera.
The new ... And other
Difficult to mention all the others, arriving with the first one where the second film. Asia will be honored with a Chinese director, another Korean, as well as Europe (Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark and Germany).
And then come the old. Festival regulars, and who generally tend to leave with an armful of trophies. Thus the Russian Alexey Uchitel, including its His Wife's Diary has been nominated for an Oscar, and that will take us with The Edge in Russia after World War II, where his heroes engage in some strange racing train.
The other old, Filipino Mark Meily, began like many in the short film, but unlike many, his family received awards. In 2003, he directed Crying Ladies, her first film and gets the award for Best Film at a prestigious festival in Manila. Then follow three others, including the last, Donor, we can see in Marrakech. Meanwhile, he also tried on TV, with the Philippine version of ... Camera Cafe. This promises a festival full of surprises.
