Après la première nord américaine de SAWAH au Calgary International Film Fest en septembre, nous retournons bientôt au Canada pour une projection au NEW WEST FILM FEST! [ENG] One of the most beautiful prizes to be won by a film is the public award. This is what happened to us with Sawah at the Arab Film Festival of Fameck <3 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  [FR]
Un des plus beaux prix à remporter avec un film est certainement le prix du public. C'est ce qui nous est arrivé avec Sawah au Festival du Film Arabe de Fameck <3 Merci! Merci! Merci!   [ENG] The brightest points of my work week have been the trips to the Festival du Film Arabe of Fameck and the the pack I got from Iceland with the award Sawah won for Best International Comedy back in Iceland recently. The rest of the time has been pretty much been a paper work war in order to prepare our next projects... We're moving forward and having so much positive feedback helps a lot. Thank you all for the good vibes! Fameck Q&A photos: Jean-Seb Guillaume - Thanks/Merci !! [FR]
Les moments les plus plaisants de ma semaine professionnelles ont été mes visites au Festival du Film Arabe de Fameck ainsi que lorsque j'ai reçu un paquet d'Iceland avec le prix de meilleure comédie du Iceland International Comedy Festival remporté récemment.   [ENG] Last night, we were in Folschviller (F) for a delocalized Festival du Film Arabe de Fameck screening at the Centre Marcel Martin.

Hier soir, nous étions à Folschviller (F) pour une projection délocalisée du we were in Folschviller (F) for a Festival du Film Arabe de Fameck screening at the Centre Marcel Martin. The screening of SAWAH was followed by a nice Q&A and Damian shot a few nice souvenir photos of it. [ENG] We will be on the go for the Fameck Arab Film Festival this Monday for a delocalised screening of SAWAH in Folschviller (F) followed by a Q&A! I've published detailed news about this great festival few days ago. Go have a look if you care!  [FR]
Nous serons en vadrouille ce lundi pour une projection de SAWAH délocalisée à Folschviller (F) suivie d'un Q&A dans le cadre du Festival du Film Arabe de Fameck! J'ai publié des informations détaillées sur ce très chouette festival il y a quelques jours. Allez y jeter un coup d'oeil si ça vous dit! [ENG] The Aarhus Arab Film Festival is a great host and I am having a blast over here. The screening of SAWAH as the opener of the festival was awesome and I am meeting loads of interesting people that give ma a lot of interesting feedback during the screenings and workshops. The cherry on this Danish cake is the prize for honour and respect I was awarded. TAK!! Read more about my DK trip HERE.   [FR]
Le Aarhus Arab Film Festival est un excellent hôte et je passe un très bon moment ici. La projection de SAWAH en tant qu'ouverture du festival était magique et je rencontre beaucoup de personnes intéressantes qui me donnent des échos suite aux projections et aux ateliers.  [ENG] 'ABSOLUTELY MUST GO' was the generic final order used by the U.S. Army to designate the fate of the Chagos indigenous people who were forced to leave behind their homeland for good in order to give way to what later came to be known as the Diego Garcia base. 'ABSOLUTELY MUST GO' It is the title that was chosen for a documentary film about the people of the Chagos archipelago. 'Definitely will come back' could very well suite as the description of director S. Jean-Noel Pierre's intentions to describe the urge of this diaspora in forced worldwide exile to be authorised to go back to their stolen paradise taken away from them two generations ago. The facts are out there, everywhere across the Internet. This film is less about historical facts and politics than it is an emotional tribute to the pacifist struggle of this people. It is about the Chagos people, about their pain, their hopes, their fears, their memory and it revolves a lot around the notions of 'roots' and 'home'. From a legal point of view, a recent overview of the case at the International Court of Justice is available here. This aspect is also discussed in the film. We are getting more and more excited as we are now entering the final stages of the production of this beautiful film and we are hoping to start active promotion over the coming weeks and we are planning a release over 2020. Stay tuned here on adolfelassal.net and under wadyfilms.com! [FR]
'ABSOLUTELY MUST GO' (doit partir absolument) est l'ordre généric employé par l'armée Américaine pour désigner le sort du peuple indigène Chagossien forcé de laisser derrière eux leur terre natale afin de permettre le développement de ce qui deviendra connu comme la base Diego Garcia. 'ABSOLUTELY MUST GO' est également le titre retenu pour un film documentaire sur ce peuple de l'archipèle des Chagos.
