It’s Yasujiro Ozu in light mode, except that his insights into the human social mechanism make this cheerful neighborhood comedy as meaningful as his dramas. Two boys go on a ‘talk strike’ because they want a television set, a choice that has an effect on everyone around them. And what can you say about a movie with running jokes about flatulence . . . and is still a world-class classic?

When the juries gathered and the Ajyal Youth Film Festival officially opened, last year’s videos were shown as examples of what 450 jury members between the ages of 8 and 21 from all over the world would watch, discuss and even create in some workshops. 95% of the jury live in Qatar year-round. 75% to 90% of the Qatari population is under 25. Members of the Giffoni affiliated festivals sent 16 older jury members from all over the world to partake as well. The films and workshops are designed to inspire and motivate using content and social media for self-expression.
The student jurors come after their school classes end and have lunch, in itself a very important component of this Festival. Master chef Frank Bordoni, an award-winning chef cooks organically and with awareness of allergies, vegetarian diets and discusses healthy eating.
After lunch the juries adjourn to screening rooms arranged in three groups by age: Mohaq (New Moon) for 8 to 12 year olds, Hilal (Crescent Moon) for 13 to 17 and Bader (Full Moon) for 18 to 21 year olds. They first watch features and then shorts. 45 minutes are given for questions and answers which is one of the most interesting and enlightening events for filmmakers and cineastes because the questions asked are unique to the children’s inquiring minds. The jurors sit through the credits as a sign of respect for the hard work done making the film. Questions about the story and the techniques are followed by voting in private using techniques learned about decomposing and evaluating technical and content areas of the films which are arranged by #tags.
Each juror receives a passport which is valid for a year. The passport gives tips on criticism and the hashtags used in describing films. When they write down the films they have seen with the filmmaker’s name and some evaluation of the film, they get rewarded with stickers.
At the end of the Festival one can see how the jurors have absorbed information; their hashtags have become more sophisticated. They use words such as “color palette” and “cinematography”; they embrace digital technology as they are given tools like Instagram and Snapchat and missions such as “give a soul to food”.
Reem Saleh, Deputy Director Ajyal Youth Film Festival
Reem herself studied film at the Lebanese American University in Beirut and minored in psychology. She worked with children’s theater and then with children with disabilities. She started her own career as a theater actress and taught as an extra curricular activity. She was a tv producer and executive director for TV Doc, an MTV-like program in Lebanon. For five years she was the executive director of a children’s channel.
She started with Ajyal Youth Film Festival three years ago as it was launching. The idea of the Festival is not to train children to become filmmakers but to respect other cultures, to understand the concept of world culture, to create relationships and to recognize creativity as an integral part of life, not to be judgmental and to see how lucky they are. If one child’s outlook on life is changed for the better, then Ajyal will have accomplished its goal.
There are already several examples of such changes. After watching a doc “On the Way to School”, a mother said that her son identified so strongly because he had leukemia and was not able to attend school everyday himself.
One 17 year old girl, after watching a film about bullying went on to learn filmmaking and made a film about car accidents (there are many in Qatar) and the effect of death on the survivors.
With world events today, this haven of safety and comfort is an important event creating dialogue in a field that we all profess to care about; certainly for our own children, and yet little is written or discussed in the international film circles. Why do films for, about and by children occupy a separate space in the international film world? Aren't the youth, after all, what all this is really about? Aren't we all involved in film to make the world a better place? And if so, then for whom? Why is there so little public discussion of this crucial area? Doha Film Institute, Giffoni and some children's film festivals around the world, like our own Chicago, Children's Film Festival Seatle, or Tiff Kids, Lucas in Frankfurt, European Youth Film Festival Flanders in Belgium or Oulu International Children's and Youth Film Festival in Finland, the British Film Institute's Justin Johnson, Kineko International Childrens Film Festival of Tokyo were all here involved in lively panels sharing what has worked and what they would like to see working, embracing change as much as possible.

It's not surprising to learn that in underdeveloped countries, kids whose parents are able to provide them with an education often have arduous daily treks between home and school. But it's quite a different thing to see it, and in the documentary On the Way to School, director Pascal Plisson intercuts the stories of four groups of children living in Kenya, Morocco, Patagonia, and Bengal as they leave home in the morning laden with books, bound for their schools. Jackson Saikong and his sister Salome travel fifteen kilometers each day across Kenyan plainlands across which giraffes, gazelles, and elephants roam. Moroccan Zahira travels twenty-two kilometers once a week to her boarding school with two of her classmates, a live hen in her bag. Eleven-year-old Carlo...

Since its blazing triumph at Cannes, things haven't gone all that well for "Blue is the Warmest Color" on the awards beat. Oscar eligibility controversy aside, it was cockblocked by "The Great Beauty" at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and European Film Awards, and now it's also lost on its own home turf, as actor-director Guillaume Gallienne's autobiographical comedy "Me, Myself and Her" took top honors at the César Awards. A domestic hit that had led the nominations, Gallienne's film also took wins for Best Actor, Adapted Screenplay, Editing and Debut Feature. Roman Polanski was a surprise winner of the Best Director award for his kinky stage-based comedy "Venus in Fur." (The César voters' affection for Polanski cannot be underestimated: this was his fourth win in four years, following recent triumphs for "The Ghost Writer" and "Carnage," and his eighth overall.) It was a good night for comedy all round: beating Lea Seydoux,...

Previously on Teen Wolf, Danny and Ethan and Aidan threw a Halloween rave at Derek Hale‘s Home for Wayward Werepups that was busted up by some Death Eaters, growling and tattooing every supernatural person behind the ear. Allison spent the whole time trying to get Isaac to stop talking about Scott and grope her. Scott spent the whole time trying to unravel the glowing mystery of Kira (not a euphemism). Lydia spent the whole time being just super unimpressed. And Stiles split his time between deciding if he’s bisexual and deciding if he ordered the execution of Scott’s new girlfriend.

A total of 18 world premieres feature in the main Competition line-up of this year’s Locarno Film Festival.Scroll down for full lists
The programme for the 66th Locarno Film Festival has been unveiled and was compiled with “diversity” in mind, according to new artistic director Carlo Chatrian.
“The only categorical imperative was to work with diversity, take it to extremes,” said Chatrian.
“For years, the festival’s policy has been to position its mission of discovery within a programme that includes mainstream cinema, but only of the kind that, despite its high production values, is not just pure spectacle, the kind that doesn’t see entertainment and intelligence as incompatible.”
As previously announced, the Swiss festival will open at the open-air Piazza Grande on August 7 with the international premiere of 2 Guns, the action film starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington as cops, directed by Baltasar Kormakur (The Deep).

Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur’s "2 Guns" will have its international premiere as the opener to the festival. Previously known for "101 Reykjavik," Kormákur returns with this American action comedy starring Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg and Paula Patton.

The film is also having its international premiere. Artistic Director Carlo Chatrian commented on the conscious choice behind these two films, saying, "The opening and closing films on the Piazza Grande, the Festival’s heart and showcase, ideally embrace the diversity of offering that enables the Locarno audience to experience the world and the...

When I was writing our AfterEllen.com 2011 TV review, I had to go digging through a whole year's worth reader comments on recaps, lots of which were all, "I can't believe you said that one thing about Rachel Berry! I disagree with my whole soul! I hope a meteor explodes down from heaven and hits you in the face!" After reading about one gajillon of those furious quips, I was feeling kind of discouraged and kind of disheartened and so my attitude wasn't very sparkly when I started watching my Pretty Little Liars winter premiere screener. I was just sort of like, Siiiiigh. Here we go again.
Near the end of the episode, though, I was legitimately sitting six inches away from the TV shouting like a lunatic, and my phone rang and I answered it all, "What!" And it was Shay Mitchell calling for an interview I'd scheduled with her.
