- ANIMAL by Sofia Exarchou, premiered at Locarno
Under the hot Greek sun, the animateurs at an all-inclusive island resort prepare for the busy tourist season. As summer intensifies and the work pressure builds up, their nights become violent and Kalia’s struggle is revealed in the darkness. But when the spotlights appear, the show must go on.

- ÁRNI by Dorka Vermes, premiered in Venice
Sensitive and bird-like Árni works as a handyman at a small and dingy traveling circus touring rural areas. He lives like a monk, his days revolving around feeding the animals and doing odd jobs. As Árni begins taming the circus’s new python, the process gradually makes an impact on him. ÁRNI is arriving in London at Curzon Soho on June 26 at 9 PM.

“the amount of times that women are in press conferences, say at a festival like this, and they get asked about women’s representation in films. And there are two men sitting on this panel, I would love for you to ask them that question.”

Men are rarely asked about feminism and working with female directors. Why are women being forced to answer for sexism?

In 2017, made a very public pledge at a press conference during the Cannes Film Festival that she would work with a female director every 18 months. It came partially from a crisis plaguing Hollywood—she cited the statistic that only 4.2 percent of the top films in 2016 had been directed by women—but also from a very personal place. “There’s a lot of talk, but I need to do; I’m a doer. I also just love women,” Kidman says. “I’m surrounded by great women and I understand all the aspects of different women, because we have so many women in our family. I feel very, very safe and very at home.” She’s made good on that promise, not merely working with female directors and creators, but also championing them and throwing her star power behind their work.

Last week we announced our partnership with Women Rise / where we celebrate a few of the amazing women in film.

Amber Fares directed one of my favourite films, Speed Sisters, a doc about the all female Palestinian car racing team. I love it because it shows you what life is like in Palestine, while not being about Palestine. As well as directing, Amber is a cinematographer and a producer.

Read the full interview here, where we discuss women getting bigger budgets for film, the representation of Arab men in the media, Palestine, car racing and more.
