Cannes 2013 : Roman Polanski says fight for female equality is ’a great pity’
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2013/may/25/cannes-2013-roman-polanski-female-equality

Speaking at the Cannes film festival of his latest film Venus in Fur, the 79-year-old Polanski said that ‘trying to level the genders is purely idiotic.’ “Offering flowers to a lady has become indecent … The pill has greatly changed the place of women in our times, masculinising her. It chases away the romance in our lives.”

“Omar” by director Hany Abu-Assad, known for the 2005 award-winning film “Paradise Now”, is a political thriller interwoven with a story of trust and betrayal as two lovers are torn apart by Israel’s secret police and Palestinian “freedom fighters.”

AP Interview: Ban warns Palestinians over agencies - Yahoo! News (via @angryarab)

Palestinian efforts to join U.N. agencies beyond its cultural arm are “not beneficial for anybody” and could lead to cuts in funding sure to affect millions of people, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon warned Thursday.

In an Associated Press interview, the U.N. chief reiterated the world body’s support for a viable, independent Palestinian state — but lamented the Palestinian Authority’s efforts to join U.N. affiliates before the U.N. itself.

#Cannibal_Holocaust: Interview With Filmmaker Jorge Michel Grau | Death and Taxes
http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/54729/cannibal-holocaust-interview-with-filmmaker-jorge-michel-grau

My friend was impressed not by the art house heavy-hitters like Godard and Leigh but by a #Mexican #horror film by a first time director. The film, he said, was about a family of #cannibals trying to fend for themselves after their father dies. It was called “We Are What We Are” written and directed by Mexican filmmaker Jorge Michel Grau.
