BEV and the Women at Cannes
May 23, 2008 | No Comments | ByBirds Eye View
This year Birds Eye View took to the Croisette again and brought together some of the talented women filmmakers with work in the Cannes Film Festival (in partnership with the UK Film Council). Our programmer Fiona Fletcher gives the lowdown:
“Speaking about her failed plight to return to Palestine to finish her film, debut director Annemarie Jacir (Salt of the Sea – Un Certain Regard) had some audience members in tears. Jacir’s film tracks the journey of a Brooklyn-born waitress who travels to Ramallah and Israeli-occupied Jaffa to live in ‘her homeland’.
