Swedish helmer Johannes Nyholm, best known for 2019 Sundance pic “Koko-di Koko-da,” is re-teaming with producer Maria Møller Christoffersen of Copenhagen-based Beofilm on the surrealistic comedy “Firehawks,” which is set to start production this summer in Sweden.

“Forget about the world outside. It does not count anymore.”
The Syrian uprising originally started as a peaceful movement, a part of the Arabian Spring movement which had already led to uprisings and revolutions in Egypt and Libya, which the Assad regime, fearful of the consequences it had observed in the neighboring states, met with unparalleled force. In an interview published at the beginning of 2017, Julie Lenarz, director of the Human Security Centre, explains how unreliable the influx of information regarding for example the exact death toll within Syria’s civilian population is. Inaction, she continues, or hypocrisy, which constitute the world’s reaction to the conflict thus far, have only led to the situation becoming unbearable for many leading to an unknown number of deaths and injured, people without medical care or access to food and water as well as the large number of refugees fleeing their country since...

“My mother is all my life.”
In the constant stream of images of refugees making their way to Europe and the USA, we often tend to forget the stories behind the faces of the people we see on camera and newspaper articles. Since many young families, or the young fathers alone, start the sheer never-ending journey from Africa or Arab countries, their stories speak not only of the possibility of a future they want to create, but also the family they have left behind. Films such as Ai Weiwei’s documentary “Human Flow” or Philippe van Leeuw’s “Insyriated” are only two examples of artists who have decided to focus on these stories, these families and their conflicts, one which is after all ours as well.

This brutally tough but absorbing film is set in a Damascus apartment in which a family with a tragic secret have barricaded themselves
There is something almost unbearable in this film’s tension and claustrophobia, a brutally tough drama from writer-director Philippe Van Leeuw. The scene is a crowded apartment in the Syrian capital Damascus, in which a family is barricaded, effectively imprisoned by the civil war outside. Food and water are running out in this small space. Hiam Abbass plays Yazan, the stern matriarch who through sheer force of will is keeping things together. Her husband has gone for help; she must keep in line her two daughters and son, her elderly father-in-law and also a couple staying with them, who are planning an escape. Then something tragic happens that has to be kept secret from the rest of the family, known only to Yazan and her maidservant Delhani...

Two new film festivals in the Arab world — and not in the Gulf States region where Kuwait had its first festival last month — have announced their first editions. Jordan and Egypt, along with the first ever Arab Critics Awards casts a new light onto just what Arab cinema is.
What began several years ago in the recently oil-rich Gulf nations of Dubai, Abu-Dhabi and Qatar who first brought the notion of Arab cinema to the western world with expensive receptions (including a camel one year at the Toronto Film Festival) and ultra fancy festivals (Abu Dhabi has since bowed out of its Tribeca Ff partnership and pulled back on all but its film fund) has now come to a more balanced sharing of Arabic cinema as a multi-culturally wealthy medium.

Insyriated, Philippe van Leeuw's drama about a Syrian family caught in its home while its city is under siege, has won the Europa Cinemas Label prize as the best European film in the Panorama section of the Berlin Film Festival.

A chilling, fast-moving study of a Syrian household under siege, Insyriated brings the everyday horror home with the kind of realism associated with the most gripping war films. Belgian cinematographer-turned-director Philippe Van Leeuw, who also wrote the screenplay, has the entire story unfold in one day inside a spacious middle-class apartment where falling bombs keep everyone on edge and snipers pick off anyone who ventures out the door. It sounds highly theatrical, but far from being a recipe for boredom, the huis-clos situation created by the claustrophobic space and limited time frame heightens the drama enormously.

Trailer for a film called The Day God Walked Away which will make its stateside debut at the San Francisco International Film Festival in May, after screenings all over Europe and in Canada.
The story goes… this lushly photographed film opens on an idyll of children, white and black, playing by a forest waterfall. But paradise swiftly turns to hell—more precisely, Rwanda, 1994—as screams signal the arrival of genocide. Jacqueline, a Tutsi mother of two of the children, works for a Belgian family in Kigali. The family flees the machete-bearing Hutu thugs, but they can’t protect Jacqueline—they leave her to hide in the attic while looters strip the house bare.
Eventually, Jacqueline ventures out to search for her children and takes refuge in the tall grass near a pond, hiding from the voices that boast of raping and hacking up their victims. There, Jacqueline encounters a wounded...

- Following my top ten Tiff list of titles available piece that I published a couples of hours back, Tiff released the lengthy list of titles that are looking for deals. Among those that I didn't mention in my top ten but could have easily have been there is the omission of Micmacs à tire-larigot (I wasn't sure if Warner Bros. only had domestic rights for France and not world rights), and titles such as Neil Jordan's Ondine, Atom Egoyan's Chloe, Oliver Parker's Dorian Gray, Aaron Schneider's Get Low, Derrick Borte's The Joneses and Michael J. Bassett's Solomon Kane should be generating key interest from the buyers as well. Without further ado, here is the list.

Curioser and Curioser.. First off, the world premier of road trip comedy Bunny & The Bull which we reported on a Long time ago. Next is Gaspar Noé's Cannes premierer Enter the Void which didn't fare too well.. I'm betting this is a new edit. The winner of the grand jury prize at Cannes, Un Prophete will have a special screening. Hugo Weaving's gritty Aussie thriller Last Ride (we'll have a review up soon, got a screener!) is also playing along with another flick from down under we've been clocking, Beautiful Kate. Let's not forget the world premier of Yoichi Sai's ninja flick Kamui.. plus so many more!
