YONI BENTOVIM AND EMILY HARRIS'S FIRST FEATURE PREMIERES AT RAINDANCE

2009-09-24T14:21:00.002Z

Yoni Ben Tovim and Emily Harris's first feature "BORGES AND I" is premiering at the Raindance Film Festival this year, on 4th October at 18.30 at the Apollo Cinema in Piccadilly Circus and as this date is sold out Raindance have scheduled an additional screening on Tuesday, 6th October at 1.45pm, Apollo Cinema West End and tickets are on sale for this screening from today.

Raindance review:
Tim is an out-of-work actor, paying the bills with a surveillance job for an insurance company and investigating false claimants. In an attempt to decipher the reasons for his failing acting career, he begins secretly filming his life and conversations in an experiment to see if he can control what other people think of him through analyzing the footage and he becomes addicted to the sensation of filming others without their knowledge.But in the build up to a major audition that could kick-start his career, Tim begins alienating the people around him, and before long he is faced with a major dilemma – either continue being a spectator of his own life, or start being an active participant in it.Shot entirely with a concealed buttonhole camera, Borges & I successfully blurs the borders of reality, making it difficult to distinguish between what’s real and what isn’t. Tim may be providing an insightful look into his slightly deranged mind, or could be an elaborate character designed to make the audience feel uncomfortable as he follows his idea through.It’s a truly original concept that will leave you second-guessing your way to the end, taking you on an intriguing and genuinely unique journey. Chris Presswell (Raindance Film Festival)

OLIVER HERMANUS'S FEATURE GRADUATION FILM WINS THREE AWARDS AT DURBAN

2009-08-04T18:11:00.003Z

EMBARGOED UNTIL 19H00 ON SATURDAY 1ST AUGUST

30th Durban International Film Festival
23 July to 2 August 2008
Award-winners included Oliver Hermanus's graduation feature film "Shirley Adams" and the headline in the official paper news coverage said: "Shirley Adams" cleans up.

The Best South African Feature Film was awarded to Shirley Adams, directed by first-time filmmaker Oliver Hermanus. The jury praised the film’s “true excellence in performance, cinematography, directing, and editing”. Calling it a South African masterpiece, the jury commented: “Through a meticulously observed minimalism, the film tackles numerous relevant social issues with both subtlety and a mature sensitivity. Its themes of love, human endurance, and forgiveness are universal, and give it audience appeal both locally and abroad.” The Best First Feature Film was also awarded to Shirley Adams. The Jury noted: “Shirley Adams is a special movie in which the director takes a number of risks. Moving his camera around as if it was an extra character in the story, he follows his main actress ceaselessly. The result is a powerful movie with great emotions that works all the more since the emotions mostly stay beneath the surface. And these emotions are definitely felt by the viewer.” Combined with the Best Actress award for Denise Newman, Shirley Adams hauled in an impressive 3 awards at the festival. The jury called Newman’s performance riveting and extraordinary. “She leads the character through intense feelings, emotions and determination whilst holding onto her pride and never giving up. She captured the true essence of this character and led us carefully and sensitively on her journey form beginning to end.”

The International Jury comprised filmmakers Tunde Kelani (Nigeria) and Cheick Oumar Sissoko (Mali), actress Rosie Tebogo Motene (South Africa) and Gert Jan Zuilhof (The Netherlands), programmer at International Film Festival Rotterdam.

ANJALI MENON'S FIRST FEATURE WINS AWARDS

2009-05-28T16:13:00.003Z

Article about Anjali Menon (C155) and her first feature film "MANJADIKURU" - please see below

Express Buzz

Mistress of composure
Navamy Sudhish
First Published : 28 May 2009 11:39:00 PM IST
Last Updated : 28 May 2009 11:31:19 AM IST
She owns no cliched gimmickry you expect from a woman filmmaker. No prejudices, no reservations and absolutely no cynical understatements.
But Anjali Menon transforms to a soul possessed by the magic of cinema the moment she starts speaking about her films. She is equally passionate about her short films that took her to many a festival as well as her debut feature film ‘Manjadikuru’ that premiered at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) bagging awards in two coveted categories - FIPRESCI Award for Best Malayalam Film and Best Indian Debut Award.
Like the central character in her film she too had a childhood spent abroad looking forward to that ‘annual vacation which would be marked clearly on those Indian calendars hanging on foreign walls.’ “I was born in Kozhikode but grew up in Dubai and completed my studies in Kerala, Pune and London. Though settled in Mumbai for the past five years I visit Kerala very often. My family is in Kozhikode and I keep shuttling between the two places,” she says with a smile.
Anjali’s date with the arc lights was no accident.
It was a progression of her artistic inclinations that includes poetry, dance, music, drama and other art forms. “Cinema is a combo of them all. It was after MASCOM I joined London Film School. Being there was a great experience. There you need to have a practical orientation for everything.
It was during those days that I realised that writing and directing excited me more and that fiction was my stuff,” says Anjali who has been learning mohiniyattom and bharatanatyam for the past 14 years.
She started off with documentaries and short films and was resolute from the beginning to make her first feature film in Malayalam. “People told me it’s suicidal to make a film in Malayalam.
But I was adamant. I thought since I belong to Kerala, I should start from here.” ‘Manjadikuru’ is the story of 10-year-old Vicky who returns to his village to attend the funeral of his grandpa.
The film is set in the 1970s when the migration to the Gulf countries started. The boy stays in the village till the 16-day-long rituals are completed.
During his stay something happens that shatters his innocent world and the way he perceives things. “After some years the boy returns as a young man played by Prithvi Raj and he is the narrator. We used natural lighting and stuck to limited make-up among other things to create real life ambiance,” says Anjali.
She is the only lucky debutante who had many big names in the industry lining up behind her for her first film. Switzerland-based cinematographer Pietro Zuercher handled camera while Kavalam Narayana Panikkar wrote the lyrics and Ramesh Narayanan scored the music. “’Manjadikkuru’ was the synergy of so many creative minds.
I grew up watching legends like Kavalam and working with them was a different experience altogether.” The film had only one screening in Kerala so far as Anjali was busy taking it to a number of festivals after the IFFK. “I was overwhelmed by the response the film got at the IFFK.
We worked hard for the film and it has been a long ride not just for me but for the whole crew who invested their time and energy in it. We are planning to officially release the film in Kerala soon.” Presently Anjali is part of a project initiated by Capital Theatres. She is one of the ten directors who will make 15-minute-long short films that will be later integrated into one singular project. The theme of the film is travel and all the parts are reflections on journeys in contemporary Kerala. “When I made my first film everyone expected some potent feminist stuff. As a filmmaker I am not gender biased; but in this, I play up the male-female politics. Jagathy is the hero. The character will break his comic profile,” she says.
Lal Jose, Shaji Kailas, Anwar Rasheed, B Unnikrishnan, M Padmakumar, Shyama Prasad, Revathi, Uday Ananthan and Shankar Ramakrishnan are her co-directors for the film.

From Anjali - 26.12.2008

I have some good news...My first feature - Manjadikuru (Lucky Red Seeds) had its World Premiere at the International Film Festival of Kerala. At the festival we won two awards:

1. BEST INDIAN DEBUT AWARD instituted by Mira Nair in memory of Hassan Kutty

2. FIPRESCI award for Best Malayalam Film.

Comments on FIPRESCI website about the film: "a classical narrative,describing universal situations and themes, is told with skill and restraint. The film manages to be emotionally powerful without making a crude appeal to the viewer's emotions. Instead of hammering herpoints home, director Anjali Menon lets her points reveal themselves gradually through subtle images and sounds."
