Le Festival International du Film Insulaire de l'île de Groix (FIFIG) est de retour du 21 au 25 août pour le plus grand bonheur des cinéphiles !
 
 
Le Festival International du Film Insulaire de l’Île de Groix (le FIFIG) qui se déroulera du 21 au 25 aout prochain, est né il y a 23 ans, lorsqu’une poignée de Groisillons motivés a souhaité donner la parole aux insulaires du monde entier. Ce festival humain, surprenant et accessible, propose des films de qualité autour de l'accueil d'artistes du monde entier. Si le cinéma est le premier langage du FIFIG pour faire entendre la parole insulaire, la musique et les arts sous toutes leurs formes y ont également leur place.
 
Chaque année, le festival met à l’honneur une île ou un ensemble d’îles qui deviennent la thématique principale. Cette année, le festival invite à mettre le cap sur les Îles portugaises !

k155X7_f_400x400.jpg


The 19th Annual MV International Film Festival Comes to the MV Film Society Vineyard Haven, MA—The Martha’s Vineyard Film Society is delighted to announce the 19th annual MV International Film Festival. It will be held from Tuesday, September 3rd, through Sunday, September 8th, at The Film Center in Vineyard Haven.

 
The festival will feature 12 films from over ten different countries and a short program of nine international films. Weextend a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors: Vineyard Wind, Mass Cultural Council, Tilton Tents, Cape Air, and Island Housing Trust. 
The MVInternational Film Festival’s theme is “Other Places, Other People” to encourage attendees to think broadly and deeply about universal concerns that can unite people. About 90% of the films at the festival are non-US productions, which helps fulfill the goal of promoting cross-cultural understanding through film. 
  
The festival opens on Tuesday, September 8th, with “Mighty Afrin: In the Time of the Floods” at 4:00 pm. 12-year-old Afrin is coming of age on a flood-ravaged island in Bangladesh. Director and cinematographer Angelos Rallis filmed over five years in the disappearing islands along the Brahmaputra River, capturing Afrin’s refusal to surrender to the deadly tides. With her home flooded, Afrin travels to Dhaka to find her estranged father. Afrin faces the impossible in a city teeming with danger and mystery as she hopes for a better future.

CINEMED 2024 The poster unveiled
content
An enlightening presence
 
An aura of mystery always seems to surround great actresses, who are both familiar and elusive, who portray real-life characters so convincingly while at the same time giving the impression of coming from another world, bringing light through the silver screen into our hearts.
 
This description suits Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher perfectly. She has been a regular feature at Cinemed for several years now, for example in Il miracolo by Niccolò Ammaniti, Skies of Lebanon d'Alice by Chloé Mazlo, The Wonders or La Chimera by her sister Alice Rohrwacher, and last year in Stéphane Brizé's Out of Season, where she once again captured our hearts. We have also taken it to heart to pay tribute to this talented, precious and exceptional actress, whom we will have the great pleasure of welcoming at the 46th Cinemed, from 18th to 26th October.
 
Alba Rohrwacher will also be symbolising this new edition through our poster. She is enveloped in the soft golden light of the evening and a luminous midnight blue, her gaze turned upwards as if drawn towards a cinema screen. She extends an invitation to a moment suspended in time, just like when we are at the cinema, to escape from the furious pace of the world in an attempt to better understand our fellow human beings through the stories that filmmakers tell us.
