67o Festival del ﬁlm Locarno | Industry Guide | Open Doors

Foreword

Nadia Dresti Delegate to the Artistic Direction Head of International, Festival del film Locarno Taking the Bulls By the Horns. At a moment when the industry is going through fundamental changes – digital formats altering classical distribution models and the media consumption of audiences changing drastically – we can‘t allow ourselves to passively watch what is happening around us and not react to the challenges. At this juncture it is critical to foster audiences and grow new ones, to develop creative distribution strategies customized to each individual film and to promote and encourage the future generation of industry professionals. The Industry Days of the Festival del film Locarno offer a much-needed interdisciplinary networking platform for all industry attendants, seasoned professionals and newcomers alike. At university there is no such subject as “networking” and sales agents, distributors and exhibitors don’t learn how to sell, buy or program a film at school. Our latest initiative – The Industry Academy y – will add a practical, learning-by-doing component to the experience of nine young and promising newcomers. The participants, setting out in the areas of sales, marketing, distribution, exhibition and VOD, will be guided by an experienced industry professional. During three days in Locarno, these future industry key players will gain a better understanding of the intricate and changing system of the dissemination of arthouse film. This year sees the pilot phase of Industry Academy, which is conceived with our main partners Europa International, Europa Distribution and Europa Cinemas. Aiming to play an active role in the support of auteur cinema, the Industry Days are organized in collaboration with our main partners as well as with our long time associate Festival Scope. We aim to provide a variety of tailor-made services, activities and initiatives, of which the Step In and Carte Blanche programs are especially important to us. StepIn, organized with our main partners and newcomer FERA (Federation of European Film Directors), is designed as an exchange platform in

which new, promising strategies for the distribution, exhibition and sales of auteur cinema are discussed and developed. Sales agents, distributors, exhibitors, VOD experts, festival professionals and funders come together and tackle in interdisciplinary working sessions current and specific challenges to the distribution and exhibition of art house films. These key players of the different areas of the industry – including the new generation represented by the Industry Academy participants – will be encouraged to think together about creative approaches and solutions. Thanks to the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), Carte Blanche was created to introduce the most promising works in post-production of a specific country, this year Brazil, with the purpose to stimulate sales and programming of the showcased films. Thanks to Cinema do Brasil and Ancine a large number of Brazilian professionals will come to Locarno and mingle with the European industry attending Industry Days. For the first time, some national film institutes from past Carte Blanche editions (CinemaChile, ProImagenes Colombia) will bring to Locarno selected producers and the 2014 winners of the BAM (Bogota Audiovisual Market) respectively, to further connect with the Industry Days’ participants. This year’s Transilvania Pitch Stop’s winners will also attend for the same purpose. Together with the Association of Swiss Film Journalists, Swiss Films and Media Desk Suisse, we are organizing StepIn/ch. This new initiative focuses on the particular obstacles the Swiss and international industry are facing in the dissemination of Swiss Films in Switzerland and Europe in light of Switzerland’s exclusion from the support of the Creative Europe Media Programme. The Festival del film Locarno is located in Switzerland at the European crossroads and in spite of the many challenges we are facing, we take the bulls by the horns and will remain a strong European partner for the industry.

67o Festival del ﬁlm Locarno | Industry Guide | Carte Blanche Brasil

Industry Initiatives

Carte Blanche 2014: Focus on Brazil (August 9 – 11) The Festival del film Locarno’s Carte Blanche is dedicated to Brazil this year. Initiated in 2011, Carte Blanche presents films in post-production from a different country in Asia, Africa, Latin America or South-East Europe each year. The first edition focused on films from Colombia, followed by a showcase of works from Mexico in 2012 and a spotlight on films from Chile in 2013. Carte Blanche is supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. Thanks to Cinema Do Brasil (Brazilian cinema export programme) and ANCINE (Brazilian regulation, public funding and industry development institution), Carte Blanche will show seven films in post-production, each introduced by its producer to the various international sales agents, funders, distributors and festival programmers attending Industry Days. At the end of the program, the jury composed of three industry professionals will award the best film with a prize of CHF 10.000 to be used for the completion of the film. Industry Academy (August 9 – 11) This year sees the pilot project Industry Academy, an educational, multi-disciplinary program for young industry professionals. The yearly program is organized together with our main partners, Europa Distribution, Europa International and Europa Cinemas. Much in the spirit of the Filmmakers- and Critics Academies, the Industry Academy will be a place where a group of nine young Swiss and European professionals starting out in the areas of distribution (traditional and new platforms), exhibition, sales and marketing, led by an Industry expert, will meet with seasoned industry professionals (mentors) such as sales agents, distributors, programmers and marketing experts. Mentors and participants will talk about their respective professions and the challenges and changes they are facing, discuss concrete case studies, exchange their different points of views (of an “older” vs. a “younger” generation) and examine together new approaches in sales, distribution and marketing strategies. The program aims to be a space of learning, where experience, knowledge, ideas and the passion 290

for Cinema are shared for the benefit of participants and mentors alike. StepIn.ch (Saturday, August 9, 2:30pm – 4:00pm) In light of the new situation Switzerland is facing in regards to the EU and the Creative Europe-MEDIA Programme, we are organizing the StepIn.ch forum. Bringing together representatives from the Swiss film industry, Swiss film promotion agencies & cultural and political institutions along with European participants from the industry, we will discuss, in a very concrete way, the impact of the exclusion of Switzerland from the Creative Europe-MEDIA Programme. Organized in cooperation with the Association of Swiss Film Journalists, Swiss Films and Media Desk Suisse, the event will be conducted in French and German. StepIn (Sunday, August 10, 10am – 5pm) For the third year, the Industry Office of the Festival del film Locarno is organizing StepIn. The initiative is designed as an exchange platform in which new strategies for distribution, exhibition and sales of auteur cinema are discussed and developed. While the 2012 event focused on the specific challenges of distribution and exhibition in Eastern and Central Europe, last year’s program broadened its regional scope to include all European and several international territories. This year, once again, international professionals including sales agents, distributors, exhibitors and funders will discuss key issues of the distribution and exhibition market. The StepIn morning begins with two panels on the state of distribution and exhibition of arthouse films in the Brazilian and South African markets. The afternoon will be dedicated to closed working sessions - the brainstorming part of the Step In Day - gathering distributors, exhibitors, sales agents and filmmakers, in majority members of Europa Distribution, Europa International, Europa Cinemas, and Fera, as well as some funders and festivals. After a short introduction of the key issues, participants will break into groups, each working on a specific challenge pertaining to the future of distribution of

67o Festival del ﬁlm Locarno | Industry Guide | Carte Blanche Brasil

arthouse ﬁlms in Europe and abroad. In a debrieﬁng session, the groups will present their results and discuss suggestions, possible new ideas and concepts to explore and to test in their markets.

67o Festival del ﬁlm Locarno | Open Doors | A Pattern of Diversity – the Film Industries of Sub-Saharan Africa

A Pattern of Diversity the Film Industries of Sub-Saharan Africa

Pedro Pimenta, Producer There was a time when filmmakers from non-francophone Africa looked at their francophone colleagues with envy. A French-based system of institutional support was in place, providingconsistent and varied assistance for their endeavors and definitively contributing to the notion of African cinema as being essentially from that region of the continent. Unlike France, former colonial powers like Britain and Portugal had no policies in place to support post-independence cinema. Colonial cinema in these territories had consisted mainly of newsreels and propaganda documentaries. Therefore, with few exceptions, the existence of cinema in former English- and Portuguese-speaking colonies was left to the filmmakers’ own energy and determination. Things started to change in the late 1990s with the entry into the field of two big players, Nigeria and South Africa. In these two countries, informally and entirely through commercial impetus (though with a more structured pattern in South Africa), for the first time films were being made without external support. It is true that the advent of digital technology and the perceived success of the Nollywood phenomenon has inspired many in the continent. A new wave of directors are engaged in making films with the sole aim of reaching a local audience, with no particular consideration for the pre-set norms that are either required for international reach or simply make product more likely to interest audiences outside local territories. These films, often despised by more established filmmakers, do find audiences in Africa through a variety of distribution systems: either through piracy or by more formal channels such as DVD sales, TV broadcasting and VOD platforms. Over the years, vast geographical spaces are slowly becoming potential markets: Nigeria, its neighbors and diaspora, Kiswahili-speaking East African countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda) and Amharicspeaking Ethiopia and its diaspora. Governments and international institutions are starting to look

296

at this potential as a relevant factor in job creation and development. In parallel with this kind of commercial cinema, many filmmakers in the region continue to strive for forms of expression that reflect their cultural values, identities and souls. In most instances, their efforts are made without any institutional support: national governments rely on European funding and point to other, more urgent domestic priorities by way of justification for the absence of national film and audiovisual policies capable of establishing the kind of permanent, structured support that has been successfully introduced in countries like South Africa and Morocco. As a result of not being enabled to make films regularly, or have them screened to local audiences, very few of these filmmakers have been able to impose an original narrative over the years. Thus the current generation of new talents seldom have role models from whom to seek inspiration. One exception is the Ethiopian director Haile Gerima, whose body of work, including Harvest: 3,000 Years, Sankofa and Teza, spans over 40 years. Notwithstanding this negative picture, there are many films and filmmakers who deserve more attention for the vitality and creativity shown in telling their stories. It is also worth noting the strong influence of documentary narratives on many of their films, which are often inspired by or feature a background of factual and historical events and situations. Open Doors is dedicated this year to a vast and very diverse region. What relations can really be established between countries and film industries that are so diverse in their level of development, production models and styles? One common issue confronted by all filmmakers is definitely that of distribution opportunities. Despite recent developments in the continent, with distribution outlets directed at TV broadcasting and VOD platforms, most films rarely reach a local audience. In most instances, theaters are either few or non-existent, and it continues to be an uphill struggle for these films to reach audiences beyond the festival circuit.

There is reason to hope that the economic success of commercial cinema will lead to more interest from investors seeing the film business as potentially profitable in Africa, if conducted along the right kind of business model and adapted to local socioeconomic contexts. However, with very few exceptions – one such being Ethiopia, where new theaters are being built – this is unfortunately not yet the case. Cinema in this part of Africa is finally coming out of age, but it still lacks the right strategies to capture the creative dynamics already in place for expanding revenues from a growing and consuming middle class. Initiatives like Open Doors have helped a great deal in developing projects and nurturing new talents. A critical mass of quality content and talent does exist in most countries. It is reasonable to expect that over the next few years new models and strategies will emerge, with the aim of reaching local audiences and generating a new filmmaking economy.

Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation – SDC Martin Dahinden, Director-General (SDC) What word describes the African continent better than diversity? Whether cultural or linguistic, this diversity is reflected in the language of cinema. By inviting filmmakers from 25 countries from Sub-Saharan Africa to take part in the 2014 edition of Open Doors, the Festival del film Locarno celebrates the wealth of African film-making and ensures an outlet for the African perspective on our world. The festival thus brings to life – because a film only lives when it is watched – some of the pearls of a growing African film industry. In the highly competitive world of cinema the way to the screen has to be well prepared in advance. Privileging quality films in the making and giving them access to a network that holds out the chance of success is what the Open Doors co-production workshop can contribute. Of the 25 countries whose filmmakers have competed for this edition, two-thirds are partners of Swiss international cooperation – underlining the importance of the region for the work of the SDC. To contribute to meaningful African cinema, with which Africans can identify, is an integral part of our mandate to help reduce poverty, and I thank the Festival del film Locarno for its renewed engagement in our cause.

Synopsis In the early morning of the 10th of May 2004, the small fishing boat Aleluia sails from the fishing village of Santiago, Cape Verde, on a three-day excursion. Aboard are four experienced fishermen. The ocean is calm. A small setback with the motor has been resolved and all seems as tranquil as the sea—all conditions favorable. On the second day complications develop. With the motor dead and radio communication lost, currents drag the boat out to the high sea, probably into Brazilian territorial waters. Rescued sixty days later under conditions still to be clarified, the film, based on a true story, tells the saga of the four men lost adrift at sea. More than a recounting of their survival, the narrative explores the singular way the four men avoided succumbing to an apparently inevitable fate. Accepting their differences, weaknesses and errors, each man recognizes himself as individually essential to the survival of all four. Accommodating their peculiar personalities and idiosyncrasies, each man finds his place and exploits it brilliantly in the service of the group. The four men are like the cardinal points, the four elements, the four sides of the boat. Together, they are life. Out of pure, dogged, physical resistance and sheer willpower to survive, embracing their connection to the island and their families and relationships, their private memories becoming collective, the four men construct a microcosm, a life within life, allowing them not only to survive, but to thrive. They never become estranged from their culture, from the habits and reality, which they believe they have left behind forever. At a time in which individualism is considered the predominant means of survival, this narrative proposes a contrasting worldview, wherein it is instead willpower, the oneiric, the capacity to create other realities, and affection—albeit all constantly put to the test—that give meaning to the human way of being alive.

Zézé Gamboa Director, Producer

Director‘s Note Based on factual events, Aleluia is not a story of countries or borders, nor of race, it is a universal story. What moves me to make this film is the fragility of human life and experience—with all the fears, anguish, beliefs, religions—and the utter incapacity to control environment or situations. Our impotence is extreme, and all that is best and worst in human behavior comes to the fore. 80% of the film takes place at sea, where the four men have only each other. The remaining 20% takes place on land, where we see the despair and day-today struggle of their families, and the solidarity shown to them by the other villagers. Visual Concept Aleluia is the name of the small fishing boat where four men find themselves lost at sea (Aleluia = praise the Lord, resurrection Saturday). Esperanza is the name of the Spanish cargo ship, which rescues the Aleluia (Esperanza = the tendency of the human spirit to achieve its desires, Hope). If this film were a painting, it would be a mixture between the chromatic and multicolor aesthetic of David Hockney (English painter) and the contrast of light and shadow of Edward Hopper (American painter). In the fishing village the houses and the ambience will be in warm colors, varied and intense. Alone far out at sea, counting on nothing but their own wits, the tragedy of the men’s situation and their fight for survival intensifies. Color gives way visually to chiaroscuro, and the figures slowly retreat from bright areas to areas of darkness, in proportion to the mounting despair. When they realize they are adrift, the men remove all the fish they have caught from the iceboxes, saving that potable water to survive. Next they begin to remove wood from the interior of the boat to make firewood, in order to cook what fish they have managed to catch. The destruction of the fishing vessel is a metaphorical extension of the physical and moral decay of the humans aboard, who live only by means of a desperate autophagy, the metabolic consumption of the body’s own tissues for sustenance.

The fishermen destroy their very sanity along with their chance for survival; they are as one body, uncontrollably adrift at sea. Director‘s biography Zézé Gamboa was born in Luanda in 1955. Between 1974 and 1980 he directed the news programs for TPA, Angolan television, and in 1984 he graduated from Néciphone in Paris with a degree in sound engineering. He has directed numerous films, including Mopiopio (1988) and Dissidence (1998).

Most recently Gamboa released The Great Kilapy (2012), which was presented at the Toronto International Film Festival, the London Film Festival and many other Festivals around the world. Production company profile Gamboa & Gamboa arose in the fragile postwar scenario of Angola, a country almost bereft of cinematic and audiovisual production, and from my need to produce personal films, within a cooperative framework of southern African countries. In its fourteen-year existence, Gamboa & Gamboa has produced or co-produced five feature films, four documentaries and a short film

Synopsis Faraway Friends is a film that follows the lives of four teenagers in a small village in Lesotho, up in the high mountains. The film focuses on Lefa (13), Retabile (15), Lefa’s best friend forever – Senate (14), and Retabile’s younger brother, Mosaku (11). Looking from the outside, very little happens in Ha Sekake, the village in which the teenagers live. Lefa goes to school and Retabile takes care of the family’s livestock up in a remote cattle post, for 8 months of the year. But from the perspective of the teenagers, a lot is at stake. Lefa, wearing her heart on her sleeve, tries to negotiate family, church and school pressures, while incessantly worrying if her friend loves her as much as she does. Retabile spends his teenage years in a stone hut perched on a lonely mountaintop, taking care of his family’s animals, their entire wealth. A child with the responsibility of an adult. We follow the teenagers over a two-year period in which defining doors into adulthood open and close. At the end of the two years, Senate receives a scholarship to leave the village, Lefa follows suit. Retabile follows a very traditional path to manhood, and Mosaku is torn between continuing school and shouldering some of his brother’s responsibilities. It’s a film about growing up in a small village, within a landscape of tall mountains.

Teboho Edkins Director, Producer Don Edkins Producer

Director‘s Note As a filmmaker, how do I enter into the lives of the teenagers? Certainly not through the eyes of the parents or any adult observing them. I decided to give each of my main characters a supporting character. Lefa: her best friend, and Retabile: his younger brother. This helped me to better control the mise en scène. Showing their interactions, an intimacy slowly grows, allowing us to see the world through their eyes while keeping the camera at a very respectful and unobtrusive distance. Visual Concept Visually, it is important for me to convey the slowness of the pace in rural life, the overpowering presence of nature, of the landscape and seasons. All this in an attempt to capture a very real feeling of the everyday lives of the children. What I want to do, is to look into the seemingly banal, and to find the beauty and importance in small things and events. Director‘s biography Teboho Edkins was born in the USA in 1980 and grew up mainly in Lesotho, South Africa, but also in Germany. He studied Fine Art at the University of Cape Town, followed by a 2-year post-graduate residency at Le Fresnoy, Studio national d’arts contemporains, in France and then a post-graduate film directing programme at the dffb film academy in Berlin.

Synopsis It is high noon on January 1991, during the latter part of the Ethiopian Civil War. Mina (14), is standing on the banks of the River Awash and fighting to untie a rope from the neck of a legless soldier, hanging from an ancient fig tree. Not far from Mina’s house flows a stream, whose matted vegetation banks are occasionally visited by people who wish to end their lives. Despite the despair felt at the raging war, and the frequent kidnapping of boys her age on «collection days», Mina becomes accustomed to zigzagging between the demands of reality during war time and her desire to live and breathe her days of youth. Rata (19), Mina’s brother, who has returned from the battlefield without his right arm, continues to demonstrate forced loyalty as a soldier in the municipal civic service, but dreams of implementing a right reserved only for Jews: the right to leave, move away from the war, and emigrate to the land of Israel. Mina, concerned with the fate awaiting her best friend Eli, the son of her Christian neighbour that lives under a constant threat of being kidnapped by the army, begins to weave her own plans: she will make love to Eli and force her family to accept him as her husband in order to preserve her honour, thus enabling him to come with them to Israel. But in time of war plans often go wrong.

Director‘s Note On May 25th 1991, I had to unexpectedly leave my life in Ethiopia. I was an Orthodox Christian fourth grade student when my grandmother suddenly appeared at Ras Abate Public School and asked me to accompany her home. On the way, she told me that today we’d separate. She was sending me to Israel, to my biological mother. I spent the first years of my life sheltered under my grandmother’s loving wings. Through the gaps in her feathers, I viewed a magical world, occasionally scattered with horror. I was 10 years old, just a few days before Mengistu Haile Mariam was overthrown, and despite the rumours about an impending war, my incognizant last days in Ethiopia passed quite normally. I’m going back in time to the “Shula” (fig) neighborhood, the place where I was born and where my personality and views of the world were moulded… The war, which is constantly present in the background, will ultimately generate the dramatic turning point of the story, but the heart and the focus of the film will be the description of Mina’s daily life. Through her, I wish to describe the surreal situation in which people miraculously manage to build a normal life during wartime. Visual Concept The film’s cinematic language will be composed of long and dynamic shots. In the first half of the film the camera will follow the heroine, a step behind, like a curious entity that is captivated by her, passing by the expressive characters of the various tribe members. These characters will be cast from among the residents of the Shula neighbourhood, since I believe that the shape of a person’s face and body are an expression of their personal story. This will reflect the magical memories of my childhood, blended in the rough historical facts of those days; the wrinkled faces and rough skin of the characters will give a physical, almost tangible, expression of this special place. The camera will restlessly follow the heroine into the dusty streets through crowded alleys and downwards to a silent space, a fig tree, planted on the bank of a hidden river, the heroine’s magical refuge and childhood space.

The changing audio-visual atmospheres, between the populated urban chaos and nature’s serenity, allow me to involve the viewer in the sensual experience I am feeling today, where magical memories of my childhood flicker and blend with the rough historical facts. After the viewer gets to know Mina, the camera will express her state of mind and compose the figure of a teenage girl whose adolescent routine is facing the horrors of war. Director‘s biography Born in 1980 in Awash, Ethiopia, Alamork moved to Israel in 1991. Following a Documentary research job, Alamork was caught under the spell of cinema. She began her studies at the Tel Hai College and later continued to the prestigious Sam Spiegel Film School, graduating in 2012. Alamork directed three short films, Mulu 2007, Korki 2007 and Cleaning Time 2012, all dealing with the experiences of Ethiopian immigrants to Israel. Fig Tree will be Alamork’s debut feature film.

Synopsis First Man is a sci-fi adventure odyssey set in a prehistoric landscape where a nomadic tribe of women find themselves faced with the disappearance of all their men. They believe a glowing orb in the night sky marks the way to the Gods who are responsible for the abduction of their men, and so the tribeswomen decide to cross the desert, confront the Gods, and rescue their husbands. A rebellious loner, pregnant Nxonxo is the black sheep of her tribe – and its only member to question her people’s belief in the Gods. She joins the tribeswomen on journey full of peril as they face unforgiving sandstorms, man-eating predators and other warring tribes just to reach their destination. Finally they reach a crash landing site where they find a God amongst the wreckage. Nxonxo discovers the God’s mighty Staff and appoints herself custodian of this elaborate weapon. Much to their horror, the women’s attempt to burn the fallen God causes it to rise from the dead and scurry out of the fire. Standing at almost 20 feet tall, the Deity is a sight to behold. All prostrate themselves in awe – except Nxonxo, who is taken aback at how the God seems afraid of them! Now marched along at gunpoint, the God known as Apolyon leads the trek further through the desert. Meanwhile, the group’s Witchdoctor has become determined to get her hands on the powerful Staff and decides to part ways with the group in order to form an alliance with a neighboring Chief who is keen on amalgamating the tribe of “widows” into his own. They conspire to track and attack the traveling party. The journey is arduous and takes its toll. Soon Apolyon begins to understand her people’s colonial impact on this earth-dwelling species and she resolves to change the way the Gods behave to these lesser mortals. Apolyon leads the group to a military base perched in a valley. For Nxonxo and the troupe this land occupied by other giants like Apolyon must be heaven on earth, but soon they discover experiments are being carried out on their captive men. Apolyon helps Nxonxo and her tribe free their men and escape from the Gods.

Jahmil X.T. Qubeka Director Michael Auret Producer

Director‘s Note At its core First Man is a fantasy adventure tale of self-discovery in a changing world. The mythology behind the concept is based on the Ancient Astronaut theory, whose proponents believe our planet was visited many times in its vast and ancient history by technologically advanced alien beings. As a work of pure fiction First Man attempts to portray this hypothesis, from the perspective of the indigenous nomads that are living through the impact of the invasion. In choosing to depict this tale as experienced by the group of women, we are able to showcase at first hand the devastating effects of colonialism. Albeit, in this case, other-worldly. Visual Concept Visually, the tone of First Man is set by the vast and uncompromising Kalahari Desert, which is exposed to the elements much as the San people are exposed to their intergalactic colonizers. The sun beats down on the earth incessantly during the day and the night sky opens to an endless universe of stars. The camera will open up an immense desert landscape and we will play our figures against this vastness. Imagine two silhouettes – one tall and formidable against the African trees, in a heavy metal suit and moving forward with mechanical steps; another small and flexible, crouching, listening, running, pulling taut the strings of a bow. First Man is a story that reaches to our origins as human beings and so draws on primal imagery – the hunt for food, the precious beauty of water. This life so closely connected to the natural world is portrayed as a free one – its images are liberating, desert winds swirl up sand, which in turn jams the technological equipment of the intergalactic travelers. The lined and ancient faces of the San play a key part in the filmic canvas. Their unique appearance means we will have to cast actual San people to play all the human roles, but this will immeasurably enhance the visual experience of the film as their lined faces alone are vastly expressive. The San will be shown within a filmic frame that moves and sweeps across the landscape they traverse – frequently breaking into wide, panoramic, epic

scenes. In contrast, the Aliens and their structures will be bound within rigid and static images. Whilst the planet is bound to humankind, the Alien race is oppressive. As much as their weapons and tools are powerful, they are also destructive and an antithesis to the freedom of the natural world. The Alien encampment will visually tear up the landscape with metal columns digging into the earth, their weapons will conquer flagrantly with massive destruction every time they are activated. It should be almost comic, ridiculous in its hyperbolic, careless obliteration. The Alien technology will not be shiny – it will seem used and realistic, but also the design should show how it has influenced the development of the modern technology we use today and draw on images of ancient civilizations – a blend of Egyptian masks on the space suits and Mayan hieroglyphs to activate equipment. The film’s color palette will be gold and ochre: the African desert and its spectacular sunsets, the metal sheen of a wealthy civilization’s golden armor reflecting in the firelight of tribal existence. Director‘s biography Jahmil rose to the world stage with his second feature Of Good Report which won 7 South African Film & Television Awards including Best Feature Film and has been celebrated at many prestigious international film festivals. Jahmil has had a decade-long career spanning the entire spectrum of filmmaking, most notably excellent feature film and documentary work. Production company profile Spier Films is an award-winning production and finance company known for visionary and critically acclaimed films with commercial appeal.

Synopsis Navarro, almost sixty years old, is in crisis. He owns a historic movie theatre but has no heir. His only son is a college dropout and his marriage is going through a rough time... Navarro is afraid of getting old and of losing his memory (like his father, who has Alzheimer’s). He has many doubts: Should he sell the movie theater he settled in for re-use as a shopping mall, or should he try to stand up and transform it into a cultural centre? He decides to make a documentary to save some of the theater’s history, to record his collaborators’ recollections about the cinema and, thus, to gain some more time to make up his mind. The research awakens memories and brings to the surface strange occurrences that deepen his doubts: the “invisibility” of Valentim, the night guard, the “stick of love” of assistant cameraman Artur, the twin maids, Rita and Pavone, who take turns doing the chores. The tension builds when a cheetah, “recruited” for a television commercial, breaks loose in the building. Even more unsettling, when Navarro makes an unannounced visit to the theatre one night he encounters the ghosts of a leopard, the long deceased pet of one of the former colonial projectionists, and of a ballerina whom Navarro always had thought of as the model of the perfect woman, along with a grim figure, which he associates with death. After the documentary is finished and on the eve of the meeting with the company that wants to buy the theatre, Navarro lives a nightmare: having taken out each of the 1200 chairs in the theatre and seeing the naked floor with no place for the spectators, all that is left to do is to take down the screen and the curtains. What will he do?

Director‘s Note After years of disappointment with the corrupted politics of a country that destroyed the dreams of its youth – and its cinema – it seems easy, and may be wise, to step back and “play the game”, taking personal advantage of the situation. The dilemma is marked by the history of a country that once was a colony, then became a socialist dream and now a wild free market society! Should we act morally if we can’t be sure whether these actions will make a difference in society? Whatever the final decision may be (our suicide as honest citizens and artists), the conflict’s visit is perennial and unavoidable. Is the sale of the cinema to an investment group the sale of our soul? Visual Concept The film is based on three different aspects: the Mozambican historical events reflected in the characters’ dialogues; the main character’s inner conflict in deciding whether to sell his cinema or to stand up and to transform it into a cultural centre; the documentary he decides to make in order to record the histories of the cinema’s workers. The main sets are the Cinema Scala, its Coffee Shop and the Continental Coffee across the street. The events are “observed” by the director and the viewer is invited to share his point of view. The shots establish the environment and all details are symbolic. A period film aesthetic can be used, almost like in old films or like in the news reels shot for the big screen before the advent of TV. Depending on the final script, a part may be shot in black and white. Our main character’s conflict is set mainly in the cinema’s interior. The aesthetic is contemporary, uses the power of colors and will be intimate, strongly based on the light and «expressionist» shadows, which represent the heroes’ ghosts. The protagonist is living a dilemma and therefore the camera must be quick, inviting the viewer to share the duality of the hero. The ghosts that “visit” him are references to some characters of films such as Cinema Paradiso, Isodora Duncan, The Seventh Seal. The documentary shot within the film is in color, with a classic documentary aesthetic. In cutaways parts of the historical cinema, both its magnificent

architecture and its degraded side, are shown as part of the dilemma – the building that our hero loves and the base of his inner conflict. Director‘s biography Sol de Carvalho was a journalist from 1975, the year of Mozambique’s independence, to 1984. Following his participation in the Kuxakanema project he was a free-lance photographer and filmmaker for 9 years. He is one of the founders of Promarte (1993), where he continues to work as CEO and main partner. He has directed numerous films, both auteur and commissioned works. His first feature film, Another Man’s Garden, premiered in 2006. He recently finished the feature film Criminal Impunity y and the documentary Paths to Peace. Production company profile Promarte is a cinema/video company that produces fiction and documentary, with a wide range of themes including arts and culture, politics, environment, health and human rights. The company is also experienced in co-productions. Founded in Mozambique in 1993, the company has its headquarters in the famous Cinema Scala, an Art Deco building located in downtown Maputo.

Synopsis Hot Comb is the tale of friendship between two young girls on opposite sides of the class divide, coming of age within an elite missionary boarding school, amidst the political intrigue that accompanied the country’s transition to independence. Uganda 1961. Magdalena (17) is a god-fearing, only child who lives a sheltered and privileged life in the leafy outskirts of Kampala. Magdalena dreams but forgets when she wakes. On her return to her missionary girls’ school a new girl arrives; Nassolo (16), spirited and mixed-race (English father), who has a confidence that belies her humble background. Placed in different classes, school protocols prevent more than a superficial interaction, but when both girls are held back at school during the holidays, an unlikely friendship blossoms between them. Through their friendship Magdalena learns the truth about her rich pre-colonial heritage that leads her to start questioning her own life situation and the values she is expected to live by. The girls mysteriously appear in each others dreams and as the divergence between following her new enlightenment and the expectations around her build up Magdalena is led to betray a trusted mentor, with grave consequences. In the aftermath Magdalena is forced to make some difficult choices.

Caroline Kamya Director, Producer Danielle Guirguis Co-Producer

Director‘s Note I am fascinated by this particular period of Uganda’s history. I see a clear parallel between the coming-ofage of the main character Magdalena and the coming-of-age of the country through independence. This makes the context very compelling and important in the story. Nassolo is the sole representative of a nearly disappeared indigenous cultural cosmology in a society that has been transformed by missionary colonialism. However, like Afro hair freshly straightened with a Hot Comb, which quickly reverts back to curls in moisture, the girls can never escape their true natures.

Production company profile iVAD is one of Uganda’s pioneer production companies. iVAD was set up in 2004 and is now known for innovative enlightening films from Uganda and the rest of Africa. iVAD is commissioned abroad to produce authentic stories about contemporary Africa for local and international TV networks. The strategy iVAD uses is to produce local content and Ngo productions in order to support the independent film and training sector. Led by Caroline Kamya iVAD endevours to continue to break new grounds in cincema in both fiction and documentary through continued international partnerships and exchanges.

Visual Concept I am very interested in the silence in between words. This multi-layered film allows me to represent two worlds: the linear five-sense reality familiar in the West and an indigenous, non-linear, more mystical cosmology, not limited by space or time such as the girls inhabiting each other’s dreams. The look of the film is an updated take on the era with stylised elements such at the cast’s wardrobe. I want the audience to relate to the characters and the period as if they were in the frame themselves. For the locations and setting the scenes I intend to utilise sparingly grand views of this world to give a perspective of the school’s microcosm. For the relationships between the main characters I move in close to capture the intimacy of the scene and the light flickers of emotion that pass within the blink of an eye. The score will be quite spare and limited mainly to moments where there is music in the scenes such as at the dinner parties, at home and end of year dance.

Co-production company profile Smarthouse is commercial arthouse – and vice versa. We love to link music, arts and graphic design into the world of film to serve a global audience.

Shula has to decide whether to give up her special powers to gain acceptance in her village, or to stay living as a witch but remain forever exiled in the camp. In exchange for safety, food and shelter all women and children who seek refuge at the camp pledge an oath to the local Chief. The oath states that, without going through a special witch cleansing ceremony, no one is allowed to leave the boundaries of the camp. If they leave the camp without going through the ceremony they succumb to a terrible curse. An upcoming witch cleansing ceremony will allow Shula to leave and carve out a normal existence with the very family who originally abandoned her. During the ceremony she must declare “I am not a witch, I am not a witch, I am not a witch”. It’s this declaration that will make her powers redundant, meaning she will not be able to practice magic again. Shula realizes that being a witch is what brings her the most joy. She learns to shape shift into a goat and starts to use her talent to change people’s lives in a positive way. On the eve of the cleansing ceremony various events transpire within the camp that create a lasting impression on Shula. She ﬁnally makes her decision, resulting in unexpected consequences. I Am Not a Witch is a bittersweet tale of what it means to be an outsider and of the ever-present struggle for acceptance despite the overwhelming odds against it.

Director‘s Note I am uninterested in showing the motives that people have in using children for witchcraft. I am also avoiding a modern day cautionary tale of people who are subjugated and victimized by their family or friends. I want to deliberately sidestep the politics or the potential earnestness and take it away from the puffery. Instead I am interested in telling a story from a child’s perspective so that we are forced to ask questions rather than provide answers. My aim is to provoke a feeling of empathy rather than one of sympathy. I want to explore characters that are going against the status quo, but secretly and desperately trying to belong to it.

efforts on local content, with a distinctive Zambian voice but with aspirations for international reach. Co-production company profile Based in Belleville, a multicultural neighbourhood in Paris, Clandestine Films is an independent film company, which produces and co-produces feature films. We work with filmmakers who try to take us somewhere, or who propose stories from far away. We know that it’s not always necessary to travel far to make the longest of voyages.

Visual Concept The tone of the film will have some similarities to Life is Beautiful. It will be a challenge to negotiate the right balance between the child’s POV, the magic realism and the dark elements, without trying to evade the reality of the situation. Bitter sweetness is an approach I took for my short that I would like to carry through to my feature film. The other film that I draw heavy references from is La Haine. What I enjoy in La Haine are the light comedic moments, set against a politically heated backdrop. I also like this impeding danger that interweaves between casual snippets/vignettes of real life. This is what I want to capture in I Am Not A Witch. I am also inspired to use a bright vibrant pallet. I want the image to contradict the message.

Synopsis Kula was a name of the PIDE brigade in the 1960s during Portuguese colonial rule in Mozambique, where political prisoners used to be interrogated, tortured and forced to reveal their connections with liberation movements. Today, 40 years later, those former political prisoners have decided to go back to the same place to face their fears and represent their memories in three acts as therapy for their post-torture trauma. The process of interrogation was a routine for political prisoners, transported in the dead of night from their disciplinary cell to the secret PIDE brigades, in order to answer a series of interrogations. Under the pressure of torture some talked, while others’ silence cost them their lives.

Director‘s Note The story takes place in the interrogation room where former political prisoners recreate scenes that they experienced 40 years ago. I found the topic while researching Xilunguine, the Promised Land. Then I could not turn away from my point of view, but now I decided to shoot this project because it will tell us a lot about our history. As a filmmaker I understand how delicate it is to deal with people who suffered the brutalities of colonial oppression first-hand – experiences that inform their everyday lives. There is little archival footage available so I don’t intend to make a docudrama or a historical film, but rather a hybrid genre adding some fictional elements. Since PIDE burned all compromising files before the independence, I will utilize a cinematic approach and creative storytelling to create my own archives in the service of a story that happened 40 years ago. Visual Concept In Kula: A Memory In Three Acts the characters are reenacting a role based on their own memories. They are political prisoners who used to make secret meetings with other comrades in the 60s in Lourenço Marques city (today Maputo), to support the liberation movement war. Many of them were captured by the political police PIDE and were imprisoned at Machava (the most famous colonial political prison) where they were interrogated and tortured. In the film we are dealing with the traumas and memories of those political prisoners. The interviews of the former prisoners will be linked to archive footage from Portuguese colonial propaganda, and they will be used mainly as a voice-over for the historical footage. This combination will be useful to support the visual narrative and to achieve the cinematic approach and the aesthetic for the film. On the other hand we will recreate, with the same characters, the interrogations in a PIDE brigade room and the consequent torture. All the former prisoners will pass by the interrogation process in a darkroom, sitting on a chair with a spotlight above their heads while being interrogated. These scenes will be inserted in the film. The torture scenes will not

be shown, but will be hinted at by filming the bloody torture instruments on the table or on a cart pushed in a corridor by a policeman, leaving blood everywhere.

Synopsis On the anniversary of the violent Soweto youth uprising of June 16th 1976, an affluent group of adolescent friends living in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa, are startled by the live-streamed suicide of a young girl in her parents’ family home. A year and some months after the incident, two disillusioned Zulu youths, Jabz and his best friend September, rummage through the sleepy manicured northern suburbs of Johannesburg in search of answers, drugs, distraction and salvation. Plagued by the memory of the suicide, the two boys hit the streets in Jabz’s fathers sleek new Jaguar in an attempt to reacquaint themselves with the carefree hopefulness of their high school years. As their day of hedonism wears on, Jabz realizes that the passionate Johannesburg of his memory has morphed into the visage of a conflict zone in his mind. Desperately desiring a sense of rhythm in the world, Jabz attempts to connect the dots, somehow trying to make sense of why the friends he loves need to die. Jabz finds no redemption as the wheels of the car roll on, and instead discovers a portrait of the new South Africa that shakes him out of his usual ecstasy. In a city still divided by the legacy of Apartheid, the boys exchange their realities for hedonistic relief. Somewhere in the north are beautiful girls and moments much better that tower over the silent anguish that threatens to engulf them. With a bottle, a pack of cigarettes and their parents’ platinum American Express card, the boys attempt to find the loving humanity buried under the stacks of mini malls and dilapidated buildings that make up their world.

Sibs Shongwe-La Mer Director Elias Ribeiro Producer

Director‘s Note I am one of the “born frees”, the first generation born in a democratic South Africa. My own adolescence led me to examine the challenges of a hyper-European African context, the repercussions of Apartheid on South African society and the dissociation felt by its privileged youth. I am interested in the existential ills of an affluent Africa, a place not often imagined in the global consciousness. I question the worth of political freedom in the absence of national communion. My desire is to paint a portrait of my upbringing, of kids who prefer to hang from Johannesburg’s chandeliers rather than respect the freedom paid for with the blood of a generation who came before. Visual Concept As a contemporary African filmmaker, practicing cinema in an emerging and undefined context, I have always felt the compulsion to revert back to a more fundamental cinema aesthetic that draws its identity from the forgotten monochrome pallet and photographic sensibilities of the cinema’s earlier and more romantic days. When developing the cinematic look of this feature film, I found that the contemporary African metropolis of Johannesburg appeared in my mind in a reminiscent black and white. I believe that by using the drained color palette the African city is further positioned as an unknown land, an alternative society to the one typically envisioned for a contemporary film about youth. The utilization of this palette aims to better show the state of non-compliance, communicated by the themes in this picture, which is about rebellion, and hence rebellious to the styles of its contemporaries, whilst aware of its history and place in the world. Just as in my conceptual photography and experimental video art work, I feel the desire to use various visual textures instead of producing works that seem to stagger only on one trended visual rhythm. My philosophies of motion photography identify with the explosiveness of non-narrative film directors such as Man Ray, in whose creations the interaction of photographs is the center and the heart of a film. For my current project I spent considerable

time in contemplating how to dynamically combine the classic dimensions of the film’s photography with a more experimental approach. As a result, I developed a super 8 aesthetic that serves the narrative by acting as a vehicle in which the characters’ memories are explored. I feel this not only gives the picture the desired effect but also enriches the narrative both practically and philosophically. Practically, it gives the audience additional insight into the thought processes that inform the characters’ actions, which might not be verbalized inconversation. Separating from the black and white, it gives the audience additional consideration on the importance of curtain images. Philosophically, the juxtaposition between the colorless “now” and the technicolored super 8 of memory gives the sensation of the lament of the “unknown and forgotten”, essential to the narrative’s thematic heartbeat. Director‘s biography Sibs Shongwe-La Mer is a 22-year-old independent filmmaker, visual artist & writer from Johannesburg, South Africa. His short films have screened at numerous international festivals, gaining recognition from the Venice International Film Festival, TED Talks and the Canadian High Commission.

Synopsis Rwandan soldiers Sergeant Xavier and Private Faustin are sent to hunt down rebels in the vast jungles of eastern Congo. Xavier is a stoic veteran of the ethnic wars that have plagued his country for years. Faustin is an eager young recruit who joined the army to avenge the death of his father and brothers. One night, Xavier and Faustin are accidentally left behind. They try to catch up their battalion, but must take refuge in the forest when local militiamen try to chase them down. Lost, with no hope of immediately regrouping with their division, they decide to press west through the jungle where Xavier believes their army is heading next. As a welltrained soldier Xavier knows it’s probably deadly. In the last war, he has seen many soldiers die in the jungle. Along their long journey, the two men grow closer. Xavier learns that Faustin has a wife and vows to get him home to her. Xavier had a wife once, but she died while he was away fighting the last war. He believes it was his punishment for the things he did then, when he chased rebels and their families without mercy into this forest. During a few desperate weeks battling for survival, Faustin finds ways to catch food with skills he learned back on his farm, while Xavier keeps them out of trouble with local patrols and mercenary mining operations, saving Faustin’s life on more than one occasion. They seem condemned when Xavier falls badly sick. In his feverish malaria he’s tortured by visions of the ones he killed. Unable to walk, Faustin carries him on his back until they finally emerge from the forest. A local village unexpectedly rescues them. Xavier recovers and learns that their army is camped on a mountain close by. They reach the mountain, narrowly dodging the bullets of their own paranoid troops. Xavier and Faustin are separated and interrogated as they are believed to be rebel spies. Xavier is finally recognized, but Faustin has been badly beaten and will die unless he is sent home to a hospital. As troops load Faustin into a supply truck bound for Rwanda, Xavier bids him a tearful goodbye and tells him to return home and raise his son in peace. That night, during a vicious rebel assault, Xavier refuses to shoot an enemy child soldier and is killed. Sometime later, Faustin raises crops with his wife and son back in Rwanda. He is forever grateful for Xavier’s sacrifice, happy to be free of the jungle and done with war.

Joel Karekezi Director Aurélien Bodinaux Producer Brandon Auret Co-Producer

Director‘s Note I am a Rwandan genocide survivor. I was born in Gisenyi, next to the Congolese border. When the genocide started, I was eight years old. I saw many people dying on the street. Lake Kivu was full of blood and floating bodies of innocent people. I personally lost many relatives and my own father. My first feature film, Imbabazi: The Pardon, was based on that painful experience. It explored the possibility of forgiveness. I was also an unfortunate witness to the wars and their abominations that followed the genocide. I have studied, lived and listened to the many accounts of friends and relatives. I’ve prayed to live through that struggle to be able to tell it all. As a Rwandan filmmaker, I have now the opportunity to do so. The Mercy of the Jungle is an Anti-War film. It explores our humanity lost in the atrocities of war. It expresses an African perspective, an insider account on how Africans perceive the wars that are destroying their lives and future. It is a story of struggle, weakness, and hope. Visual Concept The Mercy of the Jungle is set in the vast jungles of the Congo. It follows two Rwandan soldiers who got lost after their battalion accidentally left them behind. As they struggle to survive in a hostile environment, they gain a new perspective on war and question their own humanity. The entire movie takes place in the jungle of Kivu. It is one of the wildest, most dense forests on the planet. This setting will express the extraordinary pressure that the characters endure. The many different moods of the jungle offer reliable emotional tools. We will attempt to use as much natural light as possible. We will rely on the heavy rain, blistering sun, and surprising cold of the jungle at night to immerse the audience in the protagonists’ dreadful experience. We will use sound to create a sense of isolation bearing down on the lost soldiers. We will record the frightful cries of animals, howl of the wind, creaking of the trees, and torrential pour of the rain. Acting will be subtle. The evolution of the characters’ mind-set will be shown through sensitive psychological changes and physical deterioration. Our

actors will be trained to behave like real soldiers. Both handheld and Steadicam camera work will be used to sustain the very difficult terrain, though certain scenes will require tripods to capture the calm moments in the story and the majesty and scale of the jungle. We will explore techniques such as slow motion in certain scenes to capture the subjective experiences of the main characters. The special effects will be on a smaller scale but very realistic to reflect the brutality of war. Music plays a large role in the lives of the Congolese and Rwandese, it is everywhere, even in remote locations. On a few occasions, late nineties background scores will suggest that life can be found anytime everywhere. Director‘s biography Joel Karekezi graduated from Cinecours in 2008. His 2009 short The Pardon won awards at international festivals. His first feature Imbabazi: The Pardon received a Göteborg Festival Fund grant and won the Grand Nile Prize at Luxor African Film Festival 2014.

Synopsis Mozambique is in the midst of a civil war. The train that connects Nampula to Malawi is the only hope for hundreds of people, who are willing to risk their own lives to guarantee the survival of their families. Running 5 km per hour over sabotaged tracks, the train journey is filled with obstacles and adventure, where the violence of soldiers against the people they were supposed to protect is tangled with the enemy’s violence. This is the story of the stoic Mariamu, a frequent passenger who continues doing the same journey to take salt from the coast of Mozambique and bring back sugar from Malawi; of nurse Rosa, who is going to the hospital where she was posted, living the reality of war for the first time; and of Lieutenant Taiar, who only knows the reality of military life. Stories of love and war that defy death and despair, creating a space for hope filled with the traditional African oral stories.

Licinio de Azevedo Director Pandora da Cunha Telles Producer

Director‘s Note During the war in Mozambique I heard about the trains in the North, with the drama of an epic poem. I was in Lichinga, the capital of Niassa, on the last train stop before the border of Malawi, its final destination. The city was isolated from the rest of the country by road. Trains were rare. A large crowd would gather in the station to meet one. The film shows the way human beings survive in a country torn apart by war, accepting extreme conditions in their daily lives. To portray the train of salt and sugar is to ponder options of strategic investment in the interior and how populations are so dependent on this train of passengers, cargo and emotions. Visual Concept I am passionate about reality. That is why my fictions are always based on real stories, on facts that I have lived directly or indirectly. Train of Salt and Sugarr portrays the social and political situation in Mozambique, in the times of the civil war, a time that will always be present in my memory. It is also a love story. The film will begin with archive material, where the cry of a child, in the middle of a burning village, is silenced by the deafening sound of the helicopters that overfly the land. The images of the film will be as realistic as possible, with handheld camera always near the actor, sometimes reproducing their subjective look. This will accentuate the inevitable tension of the war environment, denying the audience to see the action beyond the horizon of the characters. The physical and emotional proximity will bring some warmth to the movie – sweat, fatigue and dirtiness in a crescendo – underlining the warm colors of the landscape, the skin tones, the clothes, and the military costume, in opposition to the cruelty of the war. Some details of the African richness and mysticism, incorporated especially in the figure of Sete Maneiras (the initial scene, where he gets dressed and puts his amulets on), complete the physic and visual language in an organic way. In counterpoint to the dominant close up shots, some general shots of the Savanah will reinforce the

isolation and fragility of the train, facing the wilderness of the landscape and therefore of the unknown. Regarding the sound, I intend to use mainly the minimal sounds that emerge from the jungle in the middle of the silence, to enhance the narrative tension. The sound of the locomotive engine, always working, even in the moments when the train stands still, will be constant throughout the film. The realities of war are not very musical. So the little music that will be used in the movie will be inspired by this sound of a working engine, with the exception of two or three moments when love and affection enter the warlike environment. Director‘s biography An experienced director of documentaries, Licinio has portrayed Mozambican reality since entering the National Institute of Mozambique, in the years that followed independence, with different directors like Godard and Jean Rouch. A natural storyteller, his last film premiered at TIFF and was shown in over 20 countries. He has received several awards for fiction and documentary.

Synopsis Obiyaa, in her early 40s, is an insecure dreamer. For 20 years she created a perfect home, giving up her career to support her husband, Anto and his agriculture business. When he urinates on a plant in public at a company event, Obiyaa’s world shatters. With very little help from their family physician, the couple’s only hope for answers is at Dwira Dae, a secluded facility for people with unexplainable mental conditions. Obiyaa meets Dr. Ansah, the unorthodox but well-meaning psychiatrist and facility director. She learns Anto has a rare form of dementia but is shocked to discover they cannot afford the expensive treatment since all their accounts have been suspended due to recent bad investments made by her husband. All is not lost, though, in a twist of events, Dr. Ansah, curious about Anto’s case, convinces Obiyaa to work at the hospital as a theatre director in exchange for treatment. Hesitant to revisit a world she abandoned but with no better option, she reluctantly accepts the deal, but just for the time needed to help Anto. After a bizarre welcome, Obiyaa struggles to fit in, and handling her responsibilities with the patients is no easy task. Before she finally cracks under the pressure she finds comfort in Kyenaka, a young free spirited intern, who strangely could pass for a younger version of Obiyaa. The two women immediately share an intimate bond. Anto steadily deteriorates and Obiyaa feels him slip away. After a frustrating rehearsal session, she returns to their room now filled with wood shavings. Anto sits in the middle carving madly at a mask. Obiyaa is in awe of his work because he has never taken a lesson or carved a day in his life. For the first time Obiyaa detests her husband, as disillusions and past demons from her previously failed career quickly resurface in a place she feels trapped. Dwira Dae will become Obiyaa’s haven and place of despair where she must face herself, and remove the mask she wears to hide her insecurities. Among a hodgepodge of colourful characters with pained personalities, one seeks a brighter tomorrow by letting go of inhibitions. Obiyaa will come to terms with her new responsibilities in a familiar, yet different world, and finally learns in order to be free she must let go and not be afraid to dream.

P. Sam Kessie Director, Producer

Director‘s Note As a child, I loved to write and tell stories but was inclined to study sciences following family and culture expectations. After high school, shuffling through colleges and career choices, and a few years battling depression, I faced my fears, my father’s disappointment and finally pursued my dreams. I have imagined what life would be like if I never followed my passion and often think of my mother, who in her youth wanted to study creative arts. Her traditionalist father however threatened to stop paying her tuition if she did not pursue a path to become a doctor. In the end, she settled for the role of a domestic, diligent housewife. In a bittersweet tale of love, its difficulties, and the chaos that disrupts a couple, Unbalanced d follows an insecure dreamer’s struggle to save her family and in the process, find herself. I grew up in a small town and saw several women, full of passion and dreams, give into societal expectations, settle into a domestic role, and loose a sense of their identity. After dutiful sacrifice, many found their lives unfulfilled and lonely while their partners grew distant, cold and emotionally handicapped towards them. I questioned how they coped with sudden drastic changes in family dynamics such as loss of income or illness, making them instant ‘breadwinners’ which often happened in my community. My hunger to make this film ignited when such a change happened within my own family and the dynamics shifted. Visual Concept In this psychological drama, Unbalanced d uses a fractured narration style with surrealist elements, which allow me to visually tell this story as it shifts between a concrete point of view of reality and ‘seeing through’ my protagonist’s mind. My protagonist must create a play in order to save her husband, which her life quickly mirrors as her dreams and hallucinations blur with reality. Masks represent the constant struggle she has with herself and who she pretends to be, while her tight buttoned up clothes of blues and greys establish cleanliness and conservatism. The mental facility located in the lushly scenic rainforest of Ghana is an alternative to

the structured landscape of the main city. Dwira Dae’s selective oversaturated colour variations of purple and violet show the energy of creativity and inspiration as well as instability and immaturity. Harsh gritty colours represent a tight, rigid economical and growing metropolis where creativity is stifled. I imagine my scenes with asymmetrical angles, high and low key lighting and loose verite techniques like hand-held. The audience is allowed to feel trapped with my protagonist in one-point perspectives, while visual effects allow us into her mind’s turmoil. Rapid short cuts, slow motion and long takes, to fades and dissolves highlight her fragile, curious mind. The score and motif is tense with subtle, childlike laughter in the background. Cast will be selected through local auditions. Focus on rehearsals will be in the style of improvisation, character development and subtext, providing freedom for my actors to move and minimizes the distance between the audience and the film, leaving room for ambiguity and interpretation. Director‘s biography P. Sam Kessie from Ghana has won awards and recognition for narrative, documentary, and experimental music videos. She participated in the 5th Talent Campus Durban (part of the Berlinale Talent Campus) in South Africa in 2012. Her feature script Unbalanced d was one of five scripts selected for their First Produire Au Sud Script Studio workshop. Production company profile Sankofa Pictures focuses on creating authentic quality projects to travel the globe and produces films to rival the best.

67o Festival del ﬁlm Locarno | Carte Blanche Brazil

Carte Blanche Brazil

Spotlight Brazil (in collaboration with Cinema do Brasil) Introduction André Sturm Created in 2006 at the initiative of the São Paulo’s Audiovisual Industry Guild (SIAESP), in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) and with institutional support from the Brazilian Film Agency (ANCINE), Cinema do Brasill works to increase the participation of Brazilian film productions on the international scene, providing incentive for the co-productions, distribution and exchange of audiovisual content in a variety of countries. This being so, nothing could be a greater honour for us than the opportunity to be partners with the Festival del film Locarno and its Industry Days for the focus on Brazil in the Carte Blanche section in this 2014 edition. In the last 10 years, Brazilian productions have leapt from 30 films produced in 2003 to 130 in 2013. From 2009 up until now, more international co-productions have been made than in the 30 preceding years. The increase in the amount of funding available for film productions in Brazil has contributed not only to make more films, but also to higher box-office takings for national titles on the domestic market. This favourable phase being experienced by the Brazilian audiovisual industry has been evident not only in quantitative but also in qualitative terms. It is no longer possible to identify a single recurring theme in Brazilian cinema, but there is now an enormous range of genres and styles coming from various parts of Brazil. The production of films, which used to be more concentrated on the axis between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, has now expanded its frontiers to regions such as the South or North-East of the country, with more films being produced in States such as Rio Grande do Sul or Pernambuco, what contributes enormously to the greater reach of visions within a nation of continental dimensions such as ours.

The presence of Brazilian films in international festivals has been a constant factor where we can also notice the diversity in Brazilian film productions. At the last two editions of the Annecy Film Festival awards were given to two Brazilian animated films: “Rio 2096 – A Story of love and Fury” by Luiz Bolognesi, in 2013, and “The Boy and the World”, by Alê Abreu, this year in 2014. “A Wolf at the Door”, a thriller by Fernando Coimbra for which the première at the San Sebastián Film Festival earned it the award for the Latin Horizons section, has also gained several other awards in international festivals; “The Way he Looks”, a drama about a blind and homosexual adolescent, was screened for the first time at the Berlinale, receiving the FIPRESCI and audience awards in the Panorama section, and has since been sold to more than 20 territories, to give just a few examples. Not to mention the comedies that are a huge success on the domestic market. It is from this scenario that the more than 40 films in post-production that enrolled to take part in the Carte Blanche came to be. Following a joint selection process carried out by Cinema do Brasill and, finally, by the Festival del film Locarno itself, we can affirm that we will have a good overview of Brazilian film production represented here by these 7 titles, with documentaries and features, more commercial or experimental, coming from various parts of the country. I am absolutely certain that the participation of these films in the Carte Blanche will be a highly fruitful experience for each of the works and their producers, who will have the films shown to such relevant names of our industry; not only through the possibilities for sales or selection at a festival, but also through the return that each of these producers will receive. Festival del film Locarno is a reference for the audiovisual industry and to be partners in this enterprise is a massive gain to Cinema do Brasil.
