En ce mois d’août dans les salles de cinéma,

📍 « Dis-moi pourquoi les choses sont si belles", où Lyne Charlebois (Canada) raconte un amour platonique dans une nature sauvage

📍Les souvenirs ne cessent d'envahir le présent de cette famille déchirée dans "Valeur sentimentale", un film de Joachim Trier (Norvège).

📍Les personnes âgées ont peu de place sur le grand écran. Une bonne raison pour aller voir "À Feu doux", premier long-métrage de Sarah Friedland (États-Unis) qui filme avec délicatesse l’installation d’une octogénaire dans une résidence médicalisée.

Jewish American Filmmaker dedicates Venice award to Palestinians

Jewish-American Filmmaker and Director, #SarahFriedland, dedicated the award she has been conferred at Venice Film Festival 2024 to the Palestinians facing brutalities at the hands of the Israeli Occupation Forces.

"I’m accepting this award on the 336th day of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and 76th year of occupation."
( -Sarah Friedland - filmmaker, 2024)

She urged filmmakers to use their platforms to highlight Israel’s actions.

It is quite remarkable that "Friedland" means 'Free country".
