Thursday, day 6, and once more, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about 2 films. After the screening of Tulasi Apa that is scheduled at 4:26 at Cinema Paradiso, Amiya Patnai, the director, will be live on Skype to discuss her film.
At the outdoor screen, Magali Chirouze, the producer of Stony Paths, will answer your questions after the screening which starts at 9:30 pm. The movie follows Arnaud Khayadjanian in Turkey, in the land of his forefathers who survived the genocide, where he meets people who saved Armenians in 1915.
There are a few films from the Human Unity category that really caught our attention, and Natural Disorder, playing at 8 pm at Cinema Paradiso is definitely one of them. This captivating film shows us how Jacob Nossell, a young Dane of Korean descent suffering from cerebral palsy is creating a play on the subjects of normality, ability, and the right to live. As the director says it beautifully: “He is too handicapped to be accepted and too normal to accept his destiny”.
At 10 pm, at Cinema Paradiso, don’t miss Asmad, set in a Himalayan village, a short fiction about a young boy weighed down by guilt due to an incident that he feels responsible for.
Only 3 days to go, and more beautiful films…
