Canal+ and Studiocanal have announced the official selection of Of Money and Blood (12 x 52’) at the 80th Venice International Film Festival.  A Canal+ Creation Originale, based on Fabrice Arfi’s book of the same name, the series will be broadcast exclusively on Canal+ in France this autumn.

Sous le ciel d'Alice (Skies of Lebanon) in Semaine de la Critique Cannes 2020

Sous le ciel d'Alice (Skies of Lebanon) in Semaine de la Critique Cannes 2020

Chloé Mazlo's debut feature film "Sous le ciel d'Alice" (Skies of Lebanon) has been selected for Semaine de la Critique Cannes 2020. The film was partly shot on location in Cyprus in collaboration with AMP Filmworks.

In the fifties, young Alice leaves her natal Swiss mountains for the sunny and vibrant shores of Beirut. She falls madly in love with Joseph, a quirky astrophysicist intent on sending the first Lebanese national into space. Alice quickly fits in among his relatives, but after years of bliss, the civil war threatens their Garden of Eden.

Cyprus Film Market Analysis

The Cyprus Ministry of Education, Culture, Sport and Youth (MECSY) made great efforts in 2019 to expand the country’s activities in various aspects concerning cinema, including film production, film education and film festivals.

The first international film exclusively shot in Cyprus using the 35% film incentive scheme, which was launched in 2018, was Jiu Jitsu directed by Dimitris Logothetis and starring Nicolas Cage. The film successfully completed shooting on the island in August 2019.

Patchwork, a fiction film directed by Petros Charalambous and Janine Teerling and produced by Cypriot AMP Filmworks in coproduction with Boo productions from Greece and Transfax Film Productions from Israel also completed shooting in Cyprus in 2019.

Chloe Mazlo Shooting Sous le ciel d’Alice in Cyprus

Chloe Mazlo Shooting Sous le ciel d’Alice in Cyprus

Monday 18 November saw Chloé Mazlo begin filming on her first full-length work: Sous le ciel d’Alice. Highly acclaimed for her short films, in particular the animated documentaries Deyrouth (selected in over 60 festivals across 2010-2011) and The Little Stones (2015 César for Best Animated Short), the filmmaker will this time be working on a fiction feature, traversed by animated, oneiric interludes.

Cottbus begins its 29th edition by Smuggling Hendrix

This year’s edition of FilmFestival Cottbus, starting on 5 November and accompanied by the industry event Connecting Cottbus, will immediately provide some laughs thanks to a dog that complicates its owner’s plans to leave Cyprus when it escapes to the Turkish side of the island. “Smuggling Hendrix [+], set in Cyprus, is a mirror image of the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall: while we have been celebrating the fall of the Iron Curtain, the island in the Eastern Mediterranean has been divided by a heavily guarded border since 1974,” explained programme director Bernd Buder about Marios Piperides’ opening film. “Co-produced by Greece, Cyprus and Germany, it symbolises the expansion of the territory covered by FilmFestival Cottbus, which this year will also show feature-length works from Finland, Turkey and Greece.”

Torna a casa, Jimi! Press Releases and Reviews

https://www.zerkalospettacolo.com/torna-a-casa-jimi-recensione/

...una gran bella sorpresa, un film che lancia un messaggio profondo e serissimo attraverso la leggerezza di un’avventura paradossalmente rocambolesca.

… un piccolo e prezioso gioiello che invita ad abbattere i confini attraverso l’unione, la collaborazione e la coesistenza pacifica.

https://www.nonsolocinema.com/torna-a-casa-jimi-10-cose-da-non-fare-quando-perdi-il-tuo-cane-a-cipro-di-marios-piperides.html

Una deliziosissima commedia, assolutamente da vedere, che mostra le assurdità delle guerre, delle invasioni, della politica degli umani, attraverso la storia di un cane che si perde a Cipro… Piperides, vincitore al Tribeca Film Festival per questa buffa, ingegnosa e arguta commedia, con ritmo, con un linguaggio chiaro e semplice scandito da dialoghi pungenti, è riuscito a catturare l’assurdità e la tragedia di una complicata situazione politica.

https://thespot.news/2019/04/torna-a-casa-jimi-un-allegro-paradosso-sullesistenza-dei-confini/

Decisamente un buon debutto nel mondo del lungometraggio per Marios Piperides... riesce a sfruttare in modo coinvolgente, e senza essere didascalico, la leggerezza della commedia per arrivare a fare della seria critica sociale.
