El Cine Por Encima De Todo. Entrevista Con Andi Baiz, Director De Satanás (2007) ENTREVISTA El cine por encima de todo. Entrevista con Andi Baiz, director de Satanás (2007) Realizada en Bogotá el 27 de junio de 2008 Pedro Adrián Zuluaga Pontificia Universidad Javeriana/ Facultad de Comunicación y Lenguaje Universidad de los Andes/ Departamento de Arte Desde meses antes del estreno en Colombia de Satanás, en junio de 2007, el nombre del director caleño Andi Baiz ya era postulado como una de las promesas más firmes del nuevo cine nacional. Sus estudios de Producción y Dirección de Cine en la prestigiosa Universidad de Nueva York (NYU)-Tisch School of The Arts, donde también realizó un diplomado en Teoría del Cine, y su experiencia previa en los departamentos de producción de películas como Bringing Out the Dead (Martin Scorsese, 1999), Zoolander (Ben Stiller, 2001), Cremaster 2 (Matthew Barney, 1999), María llena eres de gracia (Joshua Marston, 2004) y The Fittest (Jeff Crook y Josh Crook, 2003), parecían garantía suficiente. Baiz, nacido en 1975, había tenido tiempo de ejercer la crítica de cine entre 2001 y 2004 en la desparecida revista Loft y de dirigir cinco cortometrajes, tres videos musicales y un documental.1 En pleno entusiasmo por las posibilidades que se abrían con la nueva Ley de Cine, aprobada en 2003, Baiz había regresado a Colombia. En asocio con Rodrigo Guerrero, uno de los productores de María llena eres de gracia, empezó a trabajar en su opera prima, la mencionada Satanás, adaptación de la popular novela del escritor Mario Mendoza que había ganado el premio Biblioteca Breve de Seix Barral en 2002. Mendoza recrea de manera bastante libre el episodio de la masacre en el Restaurante Pozzeto de Bogotá, ocurrida en diciembre de 1986. La expectativa que despertó la adaptación de Satanás era doble. Por un lado el debut en el largometraje de un director con las credenciales descritas. Por otro, ver en imágenes uno de los momentos más traumáticos de la larga historia de violencia en Colombia. El resultado es un tríptico narrativo con tres personajes centrales: un sacerdote (Blas Jaramillo), una joven y bella mujer (Marcela Mar) y un veterano de guerra (Damián Alcázar) que coinciden, como víctimas y victimario, en el restaurante bogotano donde ocurre la masacre. La siguiente entrevista se realizó el 27 de junio de 2008, un año después del exitoso estreno en Colombia de la opera prima de Andi Baiz, y tres días antes del viaje del viaje del director a España para acompañar la exhibición de su película en el circuito de salas Renoir de ese país. Pedro Adrián Zuluaga: La mayoría de los directores colombianos de la generación a la que usted pertenece, nacidos a partir de los años 70, reconocen estar muy influidos por la cultura de masas y especialmente por la televisión, y no reniegan de esa influencia. ¿Ese también es su caso? 1 Entre esos títulos se destaca Hoguera (2006, cortometraje), Penumbra (2004, documental), Homenaje (2002, video musical) y Payaso HP (1999, cortometraje). 110 ANDI BAIZ Andi Baiz: La verdad no.

The many subtleties of Iranian Cinema has also stemmed from the filmmakers’ need to circumvent the harsh censorship rules of the state and the financial limitations imposed on independent filmmakers. Despite these limitations, post‐revolutionary Iranian Cinema has been a reGular feature at major film festivals around the Globe. The minimalist Art Cinema of Iran often blurs the borders between documentary and fiction films. Directors employ non‐professional actors. Male and female directors and actors darinGly explore the themes of Gender inequality and sexual exploitation of women in their work, even thouGh censorship laws forbid female and male actors from touchinG one another. In the process, filmmakers have created aesthetically sublime metaphors that bypass the censors and directly communicate with a universal audience. This course is an introduction to contemporary Iranian cinema and its interaction with Political Islam. Special attention will be paid to how Iranian Realism has 1 developed a more tolerant discourse on Islam, culture, Gender, and ethnicity for Iran and the Iranian plateau, with films about Iran, AfGhanistan, and Central Asia.

  • In New Iranian Cinema
    UNIVERSITEIT VAN AMSTERDAM DEPARTMENT OF MEDIA STUDIES MASTER THESIS RETHINKING THE ’TYPICAL’ IN NEW IRANIAN CINEMA A STUDY ON (FEMALE) REPRESENTATION AND LOCATION IN JAFAR PANAHI’S WORK Master in Film and Media Studies Thesis supervisor: Dr. Gerwin van der Pol 2nd reader: Dr. Emiel Martens Date of Completion: 20th May 2019 i ABSTRACT Contemporary Iranian cinema has been acknowledged and praised by film critics, festivals and audiences worldwide. The recent international acclaim that Iranian films have received since the late 1980s, and particularly through the 1990s, show the significance that the films’ exhibition and reception outside Iran has played in the transformation of cinema in Iran, developing certain themes and aesthetics that have become known to be ‘typical’ Iranian and that are the focus of this paper. This survey explores Iranian film culture through the lens of Jafar Panahi and the poetics of his work. Panahi’ films, in past and present, have won numerous prizes within the international festival circuit and have been interpreted by audiences and critics around the world. Although officially banned from his profession since 2010, the Iranian filmmaker has found its ‘own’ creative ways to circumvent the limitations of censorship and express its nation’s social and political issues on screen. After providing a brief historical framework of the history of Iranian cinema since the 1990s, the survey will look at Panahi’s work within two categories. Panahi’s first three feature films will be explored under the aspects of Iranian children’s films, self-reflexivity and female representation(s). With regards to Panahi’s ‘exilic’ position and his current ban on filmmaking, the survey will analyze one of Panahi’s recent self-portrait works to exemplify the filmmaker use of ‘accented’ characteristics in terms of authorship and the meaning of location (open and closed spaces).

  • Official Competition Winner
    MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 8:45PM SUNDAY 14 JUNE THE 62ND SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES: OFFICIAL COMPETITION WINNER Arabian Nights, directed by Miguel Gomes, was tonight awarded Sydney Film Festival’s prestigious Sydney Film Prize, from a selection of 12 Official Competition films, at the Festival’s Closing Night Gala. The $62,000 cash prize, now in its eighth year, is awarded for a film’s ‘emotional power and resonance; audaciousness, cutting-edge, courageousness; and capacity to go beyond the usual treatment of the subject matter’. “It is the Jury’s unanimous decision to award this year’s Sydney Film Prize to Arabian Nights Volume 1, 2, 3; directed by Miguel Gomes,” said 2015 Jury President Liz Watts. “[Arabian Nights is] a film of ambition and political vision which confronts, frustrates, and spellbinds - and ultimately reminds us that cinema continues to be a powerful vehicle to examine the human condition.” “A subject that is so timely – oppression and exploitation are at the heart of the film in its examination of a nation and people under extreme austerity measures. Ultimately the film reminds us that hope and endurance are fundamental to the human spirit,” she said. Ambitious, indignant and filled with offbeat humour, Miguel Gomes’ extraordinary trilogy draws on the structure of Arabian Nights; to create a vivid portrait of Portugal today. Following Tabu (SFF 2012), Gomes was anguished by the austerity measures imposed on his homeland and commissioned journalists to gather true stories from all over the country that were then fictionalised. The outcome has resulted in a heady blend of the surreal and the all too real, told over six hours in a series of thrilling segments.

  • Jafar Panahi and Mohamad Rasoulof
    12/46 Jafar Panahi and Mohamad Rasoulof Thursday 5 July, London. Throughout August BFI Southbank will host a retrospective of films by two of Iran’s most important filmmakers Jafar Panahi and Mohamad Rasoulof. Xan Brooks says of Jafar Panahi: “A leading light of the Iranian new wave, the creator of haunting social-realist fables that were suppressed in his homeland but played well with art house audiences in the west…Panahi's new-wave compatriots have largely decided to abandon Iran…Yet Panahi has always identified himself as an Iranian film-maker, based in Iran”. Having had three of his films banned by Iranian authorities, Panahi has long been considered a dissident with a social agenda. So much so that in 2010, he and Rasoulof were arrested at his home and accused of carrying out propaganda against the state. Panahi and Rasoulof were given six-year prison sentences. In addition Panahi received a 20-year ban from writing and filmmaking (sparking mass outrage from the film community include Martin Scorsese, Sean Penn and Harvey Weinstein) and while Rasoulof is now able to work, Panahi’s situation still remains unclear. This season will chart both their careers, starting with Panahi’s - from Abbas Kiarostami’s Through the Olive Trees (1994) on which Panahi was assistant director, to his latest ‘film’, the covertly exported This is Not a Film (2011). The second half of the season will focus on the lesser known but no less significant filmmaker Mohamad Rasoulof. The season will feature The Twilight (2002), Iron Island (2005) and The White Meadows (2009), and will finish with Goodbye (2011) which won Rasoulof the Best Director Award at Cannes despite him being unable to receive it in person due to his arrest.
