Este mes l’Alternativa proyecta 4 programas itinerantes en 5 ciudades en Colombia. Así que, si no te encuentras en Barcelona para la inminente edición del festival (12-20 nov. 2010), a continuación una lista de las sedes, fechas y los films proyectados durante noviembre al otro lado del atlántico….
Francesca de Bobby Păunescu se estrenó en el Festival de Venecia. Tras su primer pase en Venecia, el film fue suspendido por una queja de Alessandra Mussolini - la nieta de Benito - quien se ofendió por unos diálogos que salen en los primeros cinco minutos del film. El director fue llevado a juicio en Italia, pero ya está absuelto. “Tengo que decir que la película no va en contra de ninguna persona, sino de una situación. Es un filme contra el racismo, muestra la crisis de identidad por la que está pasando Rumania y que sólo se resolverá si hablamos abiertamente de ello” (BP)

Hungarian filmmaker, Benedek Fliegauf, whose feature films (Forest, The Dealer and Milky Way) have all screened at l’Alternativa, with Milky Way winning the feature film award in 2007, will screen Womb, his fourth film, in competition at Locarno. Athina Rachel Tsangari, the Greek filmmaker whose debut feature film The Slow Business of Going (Special mention l’Alternativa 2001), will present her 2nd film Attenberg in the main competition at the Venice Film Festival in September. Nicolás Pereda, whose films ¿Dónde están sus historias?, Perpetuum mobile and Entrevista con la tierra have all screened at l’Alternativa, will present his new film Verano de Goliat in the Orizzonti section at Venice.
Corneliu Porumboiu’s Politist, Adjectiv (feature film winner at l’Alternativa last year), picked up 6 prizes at the Romanian Gopo Awards last week, including best film, best director, best screenplay and best photography. The film has found distribution in North America and throughout most of Europe, but is still waiting for distribution in Spain. The film is screening in competition at the BAFICI, which starts this week.

She Unfolds By Day is Rolf Belgum’s very unusual tribute to his mother, a former stand-up comedian now suffering from alzheimer’s. She plays herself in this wonderful film, which, in a series of disjointed loops, melds fiction, documentary and nature elements into a strange mixture of heightened reality and unconscious imagery. Belgum spent four years weaving visuals of tiny creatures from his backyard, animated motions of his dog and sublime expressions of wolf life with the antics of his forgetful 80-year-old mother. Screening in competition at l’Alternativa on Wednesday 18th November 2009.
Zero Bridge is Tariq Tapa’s debut feature film. It was shot entirely on location in Srinagar, Kashmir, with a local cast of non-professional actors and with a technical crew of one: the director. The film is a subtle, realist fiction portraying a young Kashmiri man caught between adapting or fleeing. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year, and recently screened at Karlovy Vary. The film will receive its Spanish premiere in the feature film competition at l’Alternativa. Screening Tuesday 17th November.
