Article by: Sofia Nadalini

Translation by: Melissa Borgnino

At the university of Paris 8, in the 93rd district of Seine-Saint-Denis, north of Paris, a competition called Eloquentia has been taking place for six years. As you can all guess, the tournament is about the art of public speaking: the contenders, students who live on the outskirts of Paris and come from all kinds of social backgrounds, are trained by various word professionals, such as lawyers, actors, drama teachers, and managers. After six weeks of hard work, the kids will have to demonstrate their abilities in front of a jury, that will then choose “the best public speaker of the 93rd”.

Versione inglese a cura del Master in Traduzione per il Cinema, la Televisione e l’Editoria Multimediale

Article by: Gianluca Tana

Translation by: Melissa Borgnino

Zefrey Throwell and Josephine Decker are two artists from New York who decided to bare themselves in front of the camera. That’s how Flames was born, a documentary that narrates five years of their love story, from their first charming dates till after the end of their relationship, showing us their decision to keep seeing each other despite their breakup, in order to finish the project that engaged them for so long. An experience so profound that it lives on even now, after the film has been wrapped up. As affirmed by Throwell himself during the press conference, he still talks about the film with Decker because “When you share an experience so intense and profound with another person, part of that person stays in you, and part of you stays in that person”.

1920s. Next to a lake, in the middle of nowhere in the Irish countryside, stands an old crumbling mansion, where twins Rachel and Edward live. The lives of the twins, entangled in a morbid relationship, are constantly plagued by a curse that has been lingering over their family for generations. Every night, ominous forces that inhabit the bottom of the lake invade their house, and compel them to meticulously follow some rules: always be in bed by midnight, never let strangers inside the house, and never try to escape in order not to jeopardize the other sibling’s life.

“EN ATTENDANT LES BARBARES” by EUGÈNE GREEN

Versione inglese a cura del Master in Traduzione per il Cinema, la Televisione e l’Editoria Multimediale

Article by: Martina Bonfiglio

Translation by: Valeria Alfieri

En attendant les barbares is a simple, minimalistic movie that succeeds to deeply inspect the characters’ fears; fears that mirror those of most people in the modern world. It follows a fairy-tale journey, in which the present time is mixed with an indefinite time where wizards, knights and ghosts live.

The movie was created during a workshop involving a group of actor held by the director in Tolouse; this sense of genuine craftsmanship, of experimentation, is highlighted by the backstage photos shown at the beginning of the movie.

To (not) welcome her there is her brother Joe (Mark Stanley),  who makes immediately clear he has not forgiven her for not coming back home earlier despite the constant requests of the head of the family; both of them, for different reasons, aim to obtain the rent of the land, but their projects for the farm seem incompatible.

Article by: Vanessa Mangiavacca

Translation by: Federica Franzosi

I Used to Sleep on the Rooftop is the first feature film by Angie Obeid, a young director from Lebanon. It is a deep piece of work on many levels: the movie camera moves indiscreetly inside the director’s own apartment (and it stays there during the whole movie), while she herself tells the audience Nuhad’s story. Nuhad lives in Damascus with her husband and their two sons (one of which is Angie’s friend). The sudden start of a war forces the woman to re-evaluate her life and to decide to leave.

Article by: Giorgia Bertino

Translation by: Federica Franzosi

Los Angeles, 1991. Every citizen’s television is on the same channel. On the screen, images from the 3rd of March of the same year are shaking. In that ill-fated day four policemen (Stacey Koon, Laurence Powell, Timothy Wind and Theodore Briseno) brutally assaulted African-American taxi driver Rodney King after a long chase. On TV, the images are followed by the court trial, concluding with the four of them being absolved of assault accusations. Thirteen days later, fifteen-year-old Latasha Williams, an African-American young woman, is shot by Soon JaDu, the owner of the shop where the girl had gone to get some orange juice. The woman had seen Latasha put the bottle in the back pocket of her jeans, and accused her of stealing; after a short physical altercation, the woman had grabbed the gun and shot the girl in the head. The young woman died immediately and the security camera captured the scene on film.

Article by: Martina Bonfiglio

Translation by: Melissa Borgnino

A film that revolves around a choice, which manages to create anticipation in the audience up to the very end. We are faced with a realistic scenario, a casting for the new main actress in the remake of The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant by Fassbinder. Unfortunately, six days before filming starts, the director can’t make a decision, leaving the entire crew in a state of uncertainty about the making of the project. The movie presents itself as a metaphor for today’s society, where we constantly depend on production and financial capacities.
