Short of the Week: Q&A with Nick Jordan, director of Thought Broadcasting
by brasserieducourt.comThought Broadcasting is a film about psychosis and surveillance. A composite of fact and fiction, the film draws upon real-life accounts of a schizophrenic disorder: the belief that ones thoughts are being transmitted and heard by others. Set against the proliferation of mobile phone masts in the urban and rural landscape, the film reveals a fragmented inner world of paranoid delusions and acute anxiety, off-set by revelations of mass surveillance and data gathering by government security (...)

Short of the Week: Q&A with Gunhild Enger & Jenni Toivoniemi, directors of Kommittén
by Abla KandalaftHow did your collaboration on this film start?
We were invited on to the CPH:LAB programme to collaborate and luckily shared the same sense of humour and found the possibility inspiring.
For the uninitiated, could you explain a little bit more about this junction between the three countries and its significance?
Treriksröset is in Lapland and it’s a ’borderstone’ between Norway, Sweden and Finland. It’s in the middle of the wilderness and a popular place for tourists to visit – even though (...) Continue Reading »

Set in 1915 Constantinople, it opens with a pleasant and colourful vista of Armenian tradition and culture, before taking a much darker turn with the lead up to the genocide. This film undeniably represents so much more to many people than mere Hollywood (...) Continue Reading »

Get Out - "Timely representations of blackness"
by Coco GreenIn short, loved it. In long, ‘Get Out’ is everything you’ve heard and more. Consistently, whether I’m in book club, the bar, in a secret black people meeting at work, people who’ve seen it want to see it again. And those who have seen it twice offer to go with me to see it for a third time. The only thing armchair critics are wrong about is that the film is scary. Not sure who billed it as a horror film, but know that it is suspense and social commentary.
This film is a meet the parents story, (...) Continue Reading »
