8 DILLUNS.Indd 51 FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE CINEMA FANTÀSTIC DE CATALUNYA DILLUNS 8 D’OCTUBRE DE 2018 NÚMERO 5 Alex Proyas “Jamás rodaré una franquicia. ¿Dónde está la diversión en eso?” Hace treinta años, Alex Proyas estrenaba su ópera prima Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds, un relato postapocalíptico y minimalista en el que se cruzan las influencias de Jodorowsky y Leone. Para celebrar la efeméride de estas tres décadas de vida, el director australiano ha llevado a cabo una minuciosa restauración de la película, a la que finalmente ha podido dar el aspecto que siempre había deseado. Este proceso también parece haberle inspirado un deseo por volver a probarse en rodajes independientes, tomando distancia de ese Hollywood con el que lleva varias décadas manteniendo una relación tensa. Nos sentamos a hablar con el director antes de la proyección de la película, que ayer abrió con honores la sección Seven Chances. [PÀG. 8] Bart Layton “A American Animals, m’interessava molt retratar aquesta generació de joves privilegiats que viuen sota la pressió d’haver de ser excepcionals” Bart Layton va dirigir un documental que va revolucionar el documental. Eren uns anys abans que el true crime envaís les nostres pantalles, però aquella pel·lícula ja tenia trets de misteri barrejat amb investigació documental. A Sitges ha presentat American Animals, la seva última pel·lícula, que barreja les formes del documental i de la ficció per explicar-nos una història basada en un fet real: la d’un grup de joves que decideix robar un preuat llibre d’una biblioteca universitària i intentar fer-se d’or amb la seva venda. La història és digna d’Ocean’s Eleven, però la inclusió d’entrevistes a alguns dels participants d’aquell curiós atracament reafirmen el fons real de la pel·lícula. Layton ens parla precisament d’aquesta etiqueta que ara està tan de moda, la de “basada en fets reals”; i sobre com, en l’actualitat, la joventut és víctima de les aspiracions frustrades.

Police had apprehended the housemaid’s female employer after the Ethiopian woman arrived dead at Jahra Hospital on Friday. The woman was questioned after head injuries and beat marks were noticed on the victim’s body. Investigations revealed yesterday that the perpetrator was the woman’s 15-year-old son. According to investigators, the boy brutal- ly attacked the maid under the pretext that she left the family’s house without permission. The circumstances behind the maid’s escape and return to her employer’s house are still unknown. The teen’s mother is also expected to face charges for covering up the crime. Meanwhile, a security source said vice detectives raided a jakhour (animal pen) where homosexual parties for both genders were being organized. The source said that 32 men and women were arrested in the pen in Kabd. Liquor and women’s clothing were also confiscated. Separately, two more suspects - a Syrian and a Kuwaiti - were arrested in connection with an armed robbery in which two Indian security guards were killed at the vegetable market in Sulaibiya last month.
