Its concrete aim is to encourage early stage co-development and long-term organic cooperation between France, Italy and Germany, supported by their respective film institutions: CNC, MiBACT and FFA. 9 projects were chosen among the bilateral codevelopment funds existing between the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée (CNC, France), the Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo (MiBACT, Italy) and the Filmförderungsanstalt (FFA, Germany). Switzerland, as their natural co-producing partner, hosts this new annual rendez-vous supported by the Federal Office of Culture in the context of the MEDIA compensatory measures. To encourage a stronger Swiss involvement, 3 Swiss projects looking for German, French and Italian co-producers were selected to join the initiative as special guests. The chosen teams (director/producer) will come to the Locarno Industry Days to present and discuss their projects in a tailor-made program, including individual meetings with potential partners, plenary sessions, panels, discussions and networking activities. Alliance for Development is a crossroad for French-, Germanand Italian-language film professionals that allows them to test their market potential and to find natural opportunities for early-stage creative and financing partnerships. For further information, please consult the Alliance for Development brochure.

In previous years, First Look focused on Latin American and Israeli cinema; Poland is thus the first European country to be offered the opportunity to present its latest works in progress. Our film industry was chosen as one of the most promising in Eastern Europe. The festival team has emphasised the international success that Polish films enjoyed in 2015 — Paweł Pawlikowski's Oscar for Ida and Małgorzata Szumowska's Silver Bear for Best Director for her work on Body/Ciało (Body). We appreciate these words of acclaim. This year, Polish cinema has new accomplishments to boast about. Tomasz Wasilewski received a Silver Bear for Best Screenplay in Berlin. The Sundance juries recognized first-time director Agnieszka Smoczyńska and experimental documentary filmmaker Michał Marczak. First-time filmmakers have certainly become one of the strongest points of our film industry. The Polish Film Institute has strived for this since its inception by offering preferential treatment for firsttimers. It is satisfying to watch a whole generation of exceptional film directors emerge in Poland. I am sure that this generation will contribute to European cinema with its unique artistic vision doubled with great technical skills. But the success of Polish cinema does not depend only on excellent directors and a secure system of film financing. It is largely the result of the work of courageous, well-educated and extremely dedicated Polish producers, who are increasingly interested in international projects. The Polish Film Institute supports them in this regard. Earlier this year, the Polish Film Institute created a new envelope for minority co-productions. Polish producers have a lot to offer to their international partners. I encourage you to network with them and share observations about the discussed projects. I hope that you will find the projects presented in Locarno appealing on the artistic level, as well as on the production side. 307 69o Festival del film Locarno | Industry Guide | First Look on Polish Cinema 13 Summers Underwater Attending Producer: Wiktoria Szymańska Director Wiktoria Szymańska Producers Wiktoria Szymańska (pictured) Izabela Igel Co-Producer Edher Campos Production Company Luna W. 5 Burlet Close, London, W1W7BL, UK t +48 501 338 454 [email protected] Co-Production Company Machete Producciones Technical Information Screenplay Wiktoria Szymańska Genre Hybrid Format 16:9 Length 64' Shooting location Gdynia and Sopot (PL) Amsterdam (NL) Pazcuaro (MX) London (UK) Berlin (DE) Paris (FR) Production status Rough cut Total budget EUR 345.000,00 Looking for EUR 50.000,00 missing, festivals’ interest, sales agent Expected Delivery Fall 2016 308 Production Company profile Luna W. based in London and Gdynia, is keen to work with international co-producers to produce high quality films: fiction, documentaries, and experimental; films that relate to universal human experience and appeal to viewers from various cultural backgrounds...

The digital revolution calls for easier access to cinematic expression and rising of entrepreneurial spirit, with no need to wait for a more structured and supportive industry to make films. Over the last ten years, most countries have seen media and television opening new gateways for funds into filmmaking. Companies such as Impress Telefilms (Dhaka) are funding films of varied content targeting profit from television, including some by Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, Abu Shahed Emon and Golam Rabbani Biplob among others. This year, Open Doors starts a 3-year long exploration of 8 countries of the region, with a special focus dedicated in 2016 to Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and Nepal. Despite their differences in specific areas, these countries face similar trials. New trends also arise from the search for more creative freedom; crowdfunding has just been successfully used by the Bhutanese production of Hema Hema: Sing Me a Song While I Waitt (2016) by Khyentse Norbu. Turning to partners in Asia (often for postproduction), USA and Europe increases the opportunities for the new generation to enjoy an international career and broaden their artistic spectrum. Such was the case of the Nepalese The Black Hen (2015) by Min Bahadur Bham, cofinanced by France, Germany and Switzerland, which premiered at Venice Critics’ Week and is being released in several countries this year. The many individual or collective initiatives and artistic developments in all four countries present unique storytelling ideas and the very formation of a flourishing creative industry. The independent film scene is growing, and the numerous projects received for Open Doors Hub and Lab attest to the richness of the creative energy at stake, as well as the emergence of a new wave of young filmmakers and producers. If cinema in South Asia is growing fast, it is not quite considered an industry yet, and the various film professions are not recognized as such. In most places, culture does not have its own Ministry. There is no or little public support for film production, and no international coproduction treaties. In Bangladesh, which enjoys the most structured industry among the focused countries, only 5 to 6 films a year receive public grants out of the 65 features produced. Bollywood and purely mainstream films represents 90% of the local production, leaving little space for creative documentaries or unconventional fictions. Arthouse feature-length budgets are rather low (from 50'000 to 100’000€) and filmmakers, especially independent ones, often produce their own films and raise money from private investors, NGOs (especially for documentaries), friends, or family. Lack of funding at the postproduction stage influences the quality of editing and sound, and sometimes jeopardizes the completion of films. 326 Yet, in most cases, arthouse films don’t live long on their domestic screens, mostly due to the competition of local Bollywood, American and, more recently, South Korean films, even in Bhutan. Analog distribution has become even more problematic due to the decreasing number of cinema venues (25% less vs. 25 years ago). However the digitalization of existing theaters has been progressing for the last five years (50% have digital screens in Bangladesh) and several countries such as Nepal and Myanmar, witness a rise in new, privately-funded multiplexes. Still, arthouse films are mostly distributed in the alternative, non-commercial circuit thanks to the supportive collaboration of film and student societies, museums and foreign institutes giving access to auditoriums, often having semi-regular programming. Another important player in non-commercial distribution and film literacy is festivals; adding to the existing international events (such as in Dhaka), several festivals have been created recently (2011), such as the Wathann Short Festival in Myanmar, Ekha Deshma in Nepal, or Beskop Festival in Bhutan. 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors | Exploring South Asia Most festivals are thematic and focus on Human Rights, Indigenous cinema or film heritage such as the MEMORY! International Film Heritage Festival (Yangon). While many filmmakers start their career working in TV, training initiatives are also developing, such as Clinik.Kathmandu. Several of these are co-designed by European organisations such as FAMU Burma (CZ), The Yangon Film School (DE). The Bhutan Film Trust (NL) promotes the development of film in Bhutan and provides talented filmmakers with development funding. These initiatives offer a much-needed bridge with the limited training provided by the few local film schools and contribute to the emergence of local talents, like Burmese filmmaker The Maw Naing (The Monk, 2014). So here we are. Open Doors is starting this new journey together with a delegation of proactive regional players, encouraging creative and financing collaborations with international festival guests. We are pleased to welcome them in Locarno for an immersion in the European culture and industry, a premiere for many of them. So, let the magic begin! Thanks to Henk de Jong, Delphine Jeanneret, Ram Krishna Pokharel, Abinash Bikram Shah, Samia Zaman. Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC Manuel Sager, Director-General This year, Open Doors is setting itself an entirely new challenge by focusing for the first time on filmmakers from eight countries of Southern Asia. Their work reflects the wide diversity of a region in which societies are going through a process of change – between tradition and modernity, city and countryside, construction and reconstruction. Such profound political, economic and cultural changes affect populations and cultural workers alike. Seeking normality in incertitude, progressing by sticking to tried and tested methods, questioning national identity and reality – filmmakers coming from that part of the world incorporate these processes into their work. The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) provides support to Open Doors to create better conditions for the independent cinema of the guest countries. I would like to thank Festival del film Locarno for opening the door to the fascinating region of today’s Southern Asia, even though – in view of the multiple facets to be discovered – it may just be a crack. 327 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors Hub | Exploring South Asia Open Doors Hub Open Doors Hub: the co-production platform The 8 projects selected for Open Doors Hub: The co-production platform Open Doors Hub (4 – 9 August) aims to encourage the financing of projects that would be hardly feasible otherwise. From around a hundred applications received from South Asia, 8 projects were selected. The platform offers the projects' directors/ producers an opportunity to have contact with potential partners, especially those from Europe, via individual meetings. A selection of the directors’ previous works will be available on Festival Scope Pro. During the first two days, the teams will also participate in a pitch training workshop run by Sibylle Kurz. At the end of the Open Doors Hub's five days of activities, a number of awards will be attributed by the Open Doors Jury.

Saikat (35), an Indian Bengali Hindu film school teacher and aspiring sound designer is searching for a new sublet after his roommate evicts him for bringing back a stray cat. At work, he encounters a projectionist, Nijamuddin (65), who is looking for a workshop on digital terminology. Unable to afford the courses, Nijamuddin agrees to become Saikat’s interview subject in exchange for free tutorials. However, Saikat loses his recording device in a cinema hall and abandons the project. The device is found by Salman (17), a Bihari boy born and raised in the Geneva camp, the largest colony for stranded Pakistani in Dhaka. Listening to the sounds play from Saikat’s recording device is the perfect escape from his mundane job delivering grocery store goods to upper middle class homes across the city. Meanwhile, Nijamuddin is fired from his job and leaves the cinema and goes into the streets where the national cricket league is playing on large screen to cheering fans. 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors Hub | Exploring South Asia Ishtiaque Zico Director Fran Borgia Producer Jeremy Chua Producer Director‘s Note I have always been interested in themes such as undefined relationships, latent power hierarchy, migrated people, and urban lifestyle. In my first feature film, I take the challenge to explore these themes through intersecting stories of marginal characters who struggle to adapt to the power structure in contemporary Dhaka. For me, Dhaka has a complex character beyond its stereotypes: rickshaws, mosques and muslin; or loadshedding, traffic jams and noise pollution. Visually I want to unveil the grayscale between the hegemonic beauty of Dhaka shown in TV commercial and formulaic ugliness of underdevelopment found in NGO- sponsored audiovisuals. My characters are not chosen to stimulate and satisfy the mainstream ego — rather I live with them. They are my close friends, my shadows. I know their desire, dreams, and depression. Like me, they love cinema and cats. They feel suffocated to conform to the mainstream boundaries. And they lose their legal identities, illegal memories, work permit, sound recorder, youth and job. All the protagonists experience the consequences of migration, feel marginalised somehow, and look for individual hope to adapt within the new settings. I want the audience to feel the human appeal behind their individual struggle. Saikat’s story was developed out of my work experience at a local film institute, living with adopted stray cats, frequent migration within the city and undefined relationships of power with the authorities. In Salman’s story, I examine the impact of my communal pride and national/ historical consciousness from another side. Also, I wanted to design an offscreen space through ambient sound — my obsession. In Nijamuddin’s story, I portrayed my realisation of dynamics between old age and youth: how the elderly are treated to be unnecessary in my society. Visual Concept The film's three narratives will be told in a non-linear way. I want to design the mise-en-scene using long takes, deep space composition, one point perspective, eye level framing, blocking with minimum camera movement so that audience can contemplate in real time. Ellipsis will be preferred than action continuity. Saikat's world will be full of visuals. Salman's perception is full of offscreen sonic ambience. Nijamuddin's world is full of audiovisuals. There will be no use of background music, narration, voice over and visual special effects. Characters will occasionally break the fourth wall and confess towards audience.

Maung Maung, a young graduate, works as a taxi driver to sustain his middle- class family and his younger sisters’ education. The whole family depends on him, but he struggles to earn their living. He aspires for freedom like other youths but he is trapped by this shameful job... by his taxi itself, which is his only way of making money, and that he often has difficulty in parking safely. From time to time, he carries the following two families on his taxi. The second story tells a romance between a young homeless orphan and an experienced high-end prostitute, Ma Ma Khin. She was gang raped by her boyfriend and his friends at a harbor, and then became a prostitute. One day she meets the boy at that same harbor and she decides to take care of him and of his education, to help him surviving in the city. When he finds out that Ma Ma Khin is a prostitute, they make love. The boy starts experiencing a new kind of relationship with a woman. Even though he knows she is not a good woman, he dreams to walk at her side and craves her love. A couple in their late thirties has everything: jobs, a house, a car; but not a child. After taking contraception for years before marriage and having an abortion, the wife, Moh Moh blames herself for not getting pregnant. The couple’s strong determination urges them to go abroad and to get fertility treatment, since the technology is not available in Myanmar, and their failed attempts to procreate make them fight. While others, poor people, are trying so hard for a simple meal, the couple feels the unluckiest on earth for not having a child. All these families face a number of obstacles to possess what they crave for, but being so drawn by their desires, they become blinded and can’t accept the truth. 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors Hub | Exploring South Asia Maung Okkar Director May Zin Myo Producer Director‘s Note This film, which is an adaptation of the short novel I Want Only One Thing by Aung Lin, is not simply about the three families but about today’s Myanmar and the struggle of its people. While portraying the main characters, several issues like unemployment and lack of education will be spotlighted. The film should be realistic in a true-fictional style. For instance, as it is typical in Myanmar, whatever happens on a certain floor such as a couple quarrelling can be clearly heard by neighbors on other floors — linking the three stories. The staircase of the apartment building will be used to switch scene, from one family to another. I want to make an independent film with professional mainstream actors in the main roles, hoping it will help reaching a bigger audience, especially abroad. I’ve already attended international film festivals and I am involved in some German and French initiatives in Myanmar. I’m keen on working with Europeans on my films too; thus attending Open Doors and meeting more foreign professionals not only to discuss my project but also to exchange visions about filmmaking will allow me to take a step further in my career. Visual Concept The Story begins at a jetty where a prostitute and a young boy first meet at dusk. The background is old colonial buildings and silly old city where their lives start again in the dark. Apartments represent the citizens’ lives. The story is fast, dark and moody. The staircase symbolizes the ups and downs of the characters’ lives. The taxi takes you to different parts of the city. The room means a love paradise for the boy and a lesson for the woman. Moh Moh’s apartment is always noisy with row showing money cannot solve everything. All the three stories will be shot in one panorama established shot. The motif is “Life is full of sufferings”. Game is his second documentary. Followed by Let’s Get On The Bus, commissioned by Save the Children Myanmar. His first short film is Next Drop of Rain, after which he made short films for Myanmar Red Cross Society. His most recent work is The Gong.

What if a river could narrate the streams... it carries everyday!” Making a river-voyage over a 200+ kilometers water-way, crossing valleys and rivers, between the bustling capital to the remote coastal village of Bangladesh... framing a sweatshop Mother waiting for her son with a new toy, a Man and his Woman returning after loosing the city-battle, a Cleric traveling back home with radicalized ideas, a Politician on his way back to his constituency just before the election... Day After Tomorrow w takes a critical-realist observation to draw portrait of the silent mass of Bangladesh. The Captain making the same tour for decades faces the unknown on every ride, the Ticket-checker gets worried everytime he leaves his teen-ager son back at home, the Medecine-seller the Palm-Readersells new hope in the silent mass, the Blind-singer tunes in love to earn a living for the day, everyday... Travelers getting on and off all the way, bringing stories of their own kind... weaving together a balad of the land. The river flows with unfolding stories waiting for the next chapter; light breaks with promise of a new dawn... 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors Hub | Exploring South Asia Kamar Ahmad Simon Director Sara Afreen Producer Director‘s Note Once a prospective international broadcaster wrote in regards to my pitch... “Striking, poetic & philosophical!” I kept wondering... Why otherwise do I make films? What’s the use of a narrative if it doesn’t ‘Strike’ you driving back in a dark-cold night... if it doesn’t force you as a ‘Poet’ or make you ‘Philosophical’, I would rather re-think about making films! I remember once Noam Chomsky saying, “Singularity is fiction!”. I couldn’t agree more, thus I decided to make it a documentary! In my childhood, military interventions were the force behind the change in state-power. In my adolescence, I witnessed elections held with great festivity followed by a cycle of unprecedented corruption, giving birth to a nouveau riche & sustaining the opportunist elites. Yet the ‘silent majority’ never lost hope... in the contrary, politics remains the favorite topic in every tea-stall, democracy has its own meaning for each and almost everyone hopes for a new dawn tomorrow! Working for my drafted ‘Water-Trilogy’ (Are ( You Listening! 2012, Day After Tomorrow..., 2018 and Till the Last Drop?, 2022)... I have been traveling on rivers for years now! Cruising through Bangladesh, a densely populated Muslim-majority nation-state in one of the most fertile deltas of the world, I am developing a greater understanding of my rivers! I believe, I can hear them whispering... I believe rivers have the greatest stories to tell! As a disturbed witness of our time... I take refuge in all its allegory. I invite you to a voyage, to the breadth and width of a fertile land and sink deep in its alluvial soul! Visual Concept Chiseling out small narratives from a floating cave, the 90 year-old paddle steamer engine boat, the visual treatment of ‘Day After Tomorrow’’ is like a ballad of a river… rowing under a timeless sky… Scenes made-out of live-casts, performing their journey on-board as a live-set…camera as the witness of a populace otherwise never-framed… the stories as sound left on the streams, with reflecting lights of day after night documenting the un-happenings of the travelers, and their wait for a destination…Water all around containing the whole, portraits both sound and in their silence… making a frame of our time.

Women cannot conceive anymore and no children are being born. Overnight, both villages receive a message from the gods saying two things. The first is that a man and a woman from both the Sinhala and Tamil villages must volunteer to go to the Forest of the Dead, and second, that only one of them will return alive from that forest. Asoka (the Sinhala volunteer) is a father and husband, but nevertheless leads a lonely life, distanced from his community. In the past, he tried to lead a revolution against his village leaders. Ahalya (the Tamil woman) is a widow. Like other women who have lost their husbands in both villages, she cannot speak. Recently her young son disappeared in the war. At the subsequent peace talks, it is decided that Michael, a mixed race Catholic priest will act as a neutral chaperone and accompany the two volunteers into the forest. In the Forest they encounter many individuals they have betrayed, people they have left behind. The three of them have to confront their own role in the war, and how their actions created the consequences that followed. And so they come face to face with memory, unable to run away. Exhausted by the past, and drawn together by a common loss, Ahalya and Asoka come together. A baby is born. But to whom does it belong? And what will change? As the 3 of them move towards and away from each other; through their own past and their present; we begin to see how, in the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, “so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”. 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors Hub | Exploring South Asia Suba Sivakumaran Director and Producer Director‘s Note I wanted to ensure that every incident that happens in the forest is a direct reference to history. Was there an internal Sinhala revolution where Sinhalese insurgents tried to overthrow the government? Yes – it happened in 1971 and 1989 and 40.000 Sinhala youths were killed by the Sinhalese state. Were there Tamil mothers that knowingly gave up their children to become child soldiers? Yes –not many, but some. Were there Indian Army Peacekeepers who came to Sri Lanka to oversee a short-lived peace accord, and who later began raping girls in the region? Yes of course – they did the same thing in Kashmir. Does the president listen to astrologers? Yes – he created his military and political strategy on the basis of approval by his astrologer. All of this has been well documented. And yet, all of this is only background, hinted at, woven in and out of the characters’ consciousness. The larger challenge is how we deal with memory as a post-conflict society. How to make sure that we truly ‘look’ at not only what has happened, but how it has affected us and changed us. Asoka and Ahalya are specific people whose lives have been damaged and yet have a strong sense of integrity; in which they are trying to fight for life, and for each other. Will they win? Will they lose? I wanted to move beyond documenting history, to understand what the meaning of history is. Director‘s Biography Suba Sivakumaran is a Sri Lankan Tamil writerdirector who has also directed I Too Have A Name (premiered in competition at the 62nd Berlinale). House of My Fathers is her first feature film. Selected Filmography I Too Have A Name (Fiction, 11', 2012) Production Company Profile Palmyrah Talkies, founded by Suba Sivakumaran in 2011, is a film production company based in the UK and in Sri Lanka producing narrative and documentary features and shorts around the world. Selected Filmography I Too Have A Name, Suba Sivakumaran (Fiction, 11', 2012) Visual Concept I believe that the cinematic language is both ship and anchor for content. I wanted to find a new cinematic language that is alive, vibrant and very visceral – allowing the audience to experience closely life itself. The 4:3 aspect ratio forces the audience to ‘focus’, to feel a certain claustrophobia, to have to pay attention. The framing also allows characters to come to the fore more vibrantly, and has a classic beauty to it. The judicious use of a Steadicam and a Easyrig has created an immediacy and urgency to the film. The film is shot with mostly available light. The result is a naturalistic mood, and a quietness and intimacy without glare or glossiness. 337 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors Hub | Exploring South Asia Season of Dragonflies (Jhyalincha) Abinash Bikram Shah Nepal/France/Germany Technical Information Genre Fiction Shooting format Digital, Color Estimated running time 95' Production status Writing & development Shooting language Nepali/Newari (Nepal Indigenous Language) Shooting location Bhaktapur, Panauti, Kathmandu (Nepal) Shooting period 03–05/2017 Total budget EUR 450,000 Funds secured EUR 90,000 Director Abinash Bikram Shah [email protected] m +977 98 41 85 53 59 Production Company Icefall Productions (Nepal) [email protected] m +977 98510 73904 www.icefallproductions.com Co-production Companies CDP (France) Catherine Dussart [email protected] Die Gesellschaft DGS (Germany) Michael Henrichs [email protected] Shooney Films Pvt. Ltd (Nepal) Min Bahadur Bham [email protected] 338 Synopsis Having undergone mastectomy, RUDRAAWATI (40s) is faced with a dilemma whether to rebuild her house ravaged by the earthquake, or get breast implants? In a predicament of stability against chaos, she chooses to reclaim her sexuality to win back her estranged husband; with the money she was entrusted by her mother to reconstruct her house. However, her whims gradually catch up with her, and despite her efforts to save her marriage, she finds herself isolated by her daughter and the very people she had fought so hard to hold together. RUDRAAWATI now must learn to let go of false restraints, which perhaps is her only chance to regain hope and true happiness. 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors Hub | Exploring South Asia Abinash Bikram Shah Director Ram Krishna Pokharel Producer Director‘s Note My cousin sister, with whom I had spent all my childhood, came to stay in my house when she was struggling with breast cancer. She failed to survive long, leaving us in deep grief. After her death, I came to know that her husband was having an affair. She never mentioned this to me or anyone else. Why did she keep it a secret? Was it because she thought her mastectomy could be the real cause for her troubles? Would having a breast implant mend her relationship? Why did she never leave him? How did she bear this trauma when she was fighting cancer? In our society, a Girl defines herself through her relationships to the Men she is with; if she is alone, she is considered cursed. Any Nepali woman knows she is expected to be an obedient daughter, submissive wife, dutiful daughter-in-law, caring mother and so on. She would rarely get an opportunity to be herself and be a fully realized woman. She, who tries to traverse a different path, is looked down upon, and often punished. Days after her death, when I was in a meditation retreat to salvage my sanity, I decided to write this distressing personal story about my cousin-sister’s; to try to understand what defines a woman in our contemporary Nepali society; to examine the predesigned roles she is expected to play. But beyond that, I turned to explore my cousin-sister’s yearning, angst, confusion, flaws and her rediscovery, through which SEASON OF DRAGONFLIES finally became an emotional tale of hope, acceptance and awakening. Producer’s Note I have been working with Abinash for some time now. I admire him for his delicate subject matter, sensitive characterization and the personal touch he brings to his stories. Rudraawati is both a vulnerable and a fascinatingly strong character. Her journey navigates through fear and hope until she is confronted with the most humbling and, at the same time, empowering question. Season of Dragonflies is a tale of a family in contemporary Nepali society recovering from the aftermath of the great earthquake. It is subtly woven as a complex puzzle that ultimately forms a clear picture of the beautiful-yet-harsh reality in which the characters live. This story not only emotionally enriched me but also made me think what is it be like to born as a woman in the patriarchal society I live in. Visual Concept The soul of the film is Metamorphosis of Dragonfly. First Act (Inside Shell, Pity); Second Act (Nymph, Hope); Third Act (Adult, Catharsis). Each of the 3 acts takes place in different locations, and the camera style changes with each. The lighting too will change accordingly complementing camera work and color by creating a foundation for each act, resulting in a vivid interacting whole. The costumes, props and the background will be carefully managed to achieve the tonality of every acts and of the scenes. And I want to keep things simple, focusing on core emotions, avoiding anything conventional.

I was born in the same region where the story takes place, near the Buddha of Bamiyan, and I feel the same passion Asef feels for cinema and his loneliness as someone who understands Chaplin, John Ford, Kurosawa Ozu and desperately tries to show it to those in Afghanistan who have never seen a movie in their life and consider cinema as a sin of death. This film tells in a way my own story about Afghanistan and Taliban, interwoven with cinema history. There are many stories about Afghanistan and its contemporary history, but some are so relevant to mankind and humanity that simply can’t stay untold. Like this one – it digs deeply into the deepest part of the brainwashed Taliban to tell what makes Taliban Taliban. In the story, a situation is created where these soldiers become kids who find themselves in the hand of a storyteller – ‘naked’ and free of any prejudgments or political injections. The story takes us on a journey of the main historical happenings inside Afghanistan and in the world of the last decades, while we continue to follow the thrilling story of the main character Asef. The film is staged in Afghanistan and in the specific period of Taliban regime, but it is also a universal story about what culture means to mankind. The ten films that are more precious to Asef than his own life are as precious to myself, because they represent not only cinema history but more importantly, the meaningfulness of the life itself. These films are also the soul of the current story and together form a metaphor and a respectful ode for human civilization. Visual Concept A reference for our film is Cinema Paradiso (1988). But our film goes beyond it to visualize de dilemma’s the Taliban get into by watching the masterpieces. When the story develops, the reality gets increasingly mixed up with the world created in the masterpieces. By associative editing, the world in cinema, the reality Asef has with the Taliban and the ‘reality’ in news become Asef’s world. When the climax is reached with the re-edits by Asef, the film will be a surrealistic symphony to touch and shake the human soul - the beauties of humanity perhaps can only exist in the imaginative world of cinema and are impossible to find in reality...

But. Different realities.” Or. Perhaps. We all live in one reality. But. Different stories. And. In between. There is just a mask. In the gloomy and remote valley of Phobjika in central Bhutan, Sangay, a 16-year-old girl lives with her widower father, Ap Atsara, a popular craftsman who is specialized in making wooden phalluses. He has also been playing the role of an atsara (a clown) in the annual tsechu (festival) for the last twenty years. Now, he wants to retire and pass on the mask to a younger talent. But, a dark secret from the past unfolds. And in the convoluted world of phalluses and masks, Sangay struggles to find congruence between her inner world and the outer relationships. She gets lost in the vast and beautiful landscape of Phobjikha in search of who she wants to become. 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors Hub | Exploring South Asia Tashi Gyeltshen Director Kinley Tshering Producer Director‘s Note A story first comes to me as a question. I’ve been to many festivals in Bhutan and received blessings from the atsaras’ phalluses and I have always wondered, what kind of person is behind those funny red masks and weird red costumes? Are the symbolism and the sanctity of the outer shell more important than the actual person inside? In The Red Phallus, we peel off the cultural shell and look at our own humanity. We all wear masks like the atsaras, but how much do we know who we are? Does the mask become our identity at times? According to my native languages, when we tell a story we ‘release’ or ‘untie’ one. So, stories free us and give us the possibility to empathize both good and evil without the mask of moral constraints. The film is about the paradox of being human: killing and raping and at the same time striving to attain enlightenment. The phallus symbolizes the grim presence of violence underneath the silence and stillness; it is a symbol of male chauvinism and humanity’s decadence. The color red comes from a personal experience from my childhood when I saw my mother in a pool of blood in the bathroom. I was too young to understand what was happening but I found this woman murmuring a prayer in the pool of red beautiful; the whole picture came to me as sad but beautiful. To me, red symbolizes both life and death, same as one event. The Red Phallus will be the third film of the ‘Red’ trilogy after my two shorts Girl with a Red Sky y and The Red Door. In all three films, death is not an end. It is a beginning of life. The Red Phallus is an aspiration to look at Bhutanese cinema as a way to experience our own culture and stories in an artistic fashion, which is far from the commodity cinema that we are experiencing. As a filmmaker, it’s my humble attempt to find my own voice. Visual Concept The film will be minimalist in approach using natural light and the dark brooding presence of pastoral settings. It will be shot mostly in deep focus and long takes, contrasting extreme wide shots with intimate close-ups, expressing the oneness of landscape and mindscape. The characters are together yet apart and so will be trapped in the same space but in different times by visual alliteration. The characters will be pitied against the vast landscape. Everything gets lost in the vast empty landscape. Even the narrative. The vision is to show how beautifully sad and empty life is, even as we search for the meaning of life. Director‘s Biography Tashi Gyeltshen started his career as a journalist before delving into filmmaking. He is a self-taught filmmaker. His third short The Red Doorr premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam (2014). Tashi is equally passionate about poetry and his poems have been published in several magazines.

Except, the melas are disappearing as the religious right comes down hard, security is upped and the money dries up for the performers. We enter this ebbing world of the small town melas and its performers - its transwomen dancers, its behind-the-scenes technicians and performers who have yearned for fame and respect. We see that the melas are often set up in conjunction with a religious festival in town to attract pilgrims as potential au- diences. The film explores the arrival of the mela and how the audiences negotiate the sacred and profane together. It will give a glimpse into how the mela has become the performers’ social structure despite the odds, as moving performers may be each other’s strongest family, or not. We follow three of the mela’s most-talented and popular performers as they battle old age, looming poverty and moral policing to carry the dream of moving up the entertainment ladder. There are thousands of seemingly marginal performers all over Pakistan. We will be chronicling them over a period of time, knowing them closely as the melas pack up from one place to another. We look at how the phenomenon of melas has survived and performers still enthrall their audiences, despite the decrease in numbers. Dangerous live acts, spirited dancers; the passionate wrestlers live a nomadic life to make people happy, because that’s all they know and their families knew. 69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors Hub | Exploring South Asia Maheen Zia Director Madiha Aijaz Producer Director‘s Note This film is conceived as a eulogy to the (once) grand fairs that came to small agricultural towns, and brought with them provincial glamour, illicit excitement – admissible as the harvest had been good and there was extra money to be spent and celebrate – and a taste of the imagined big city and its caricatured excesses. To make the societal distinctions clear, the characters of the fair had to be presented as extremes – freaks – who occupied a different moral universe affording them greater license. The visual treatment will address both these expectations from the audience and the realities of the artists’ lives. Visual Concept The camera will be closer, more intimate during the day but wider and formal at night. The camera will be moving for the most part, at times handheld and at others on a gimbal. A flying camera will lend poetry to acts polished from practice, displaying skill even if the props have frayed, while a long lens approach will capture the complicated interpersonal relations amongst members in a troupe that has to stick together.

The dominant narrative from the Pakistan has been that of terrorism. While this film touches upon the forces which have led to the melas losing their footing, it also shows the long and important struggle by the performers to keep it going.
