SUMMARY:Sharjah International Film Festival for Children & Youth (SIFF)
DESCRIPTION:The 12th Edition of SIFF takes place 6 to 11 October at VOX Cinemas in City Centre Al Zahia with what looks like a strong lineup – 76 films (chosen from 1\,740 submissions!) representing 26 countries. South Korea is participating as a Country of Honor\, giving audiences the opportunity to explore the way Korean cinema’ has become a major contributor to South Korea’s creative economy\, soft power\, and tourism industry. \nThey include three Middle East premieres – animated feature Miss Moxy (dir Wip Vernooij and Vincent Bal\, Netherlands)\, the story of a cat who has to find her way back home with a couple of unlikely friends; Sarah Talab’s Saudi feature Hajeer\, about a young musician whose life is turned upside down after suffering a childhood illness that causes him to lose his hearing; and Seryeong Jeong’s 2:15PM\, a remarkable poignant tale that you should really see if you can. Ten-year-old Hyunsu comes across six-year-old Jo Minha\, who has been isolated from the world by her abusive father; understanding the power of kindness\, Hyunsu sneaks visits to Jo Minha at precisely 2:15pm each day for a fleeting ten minutes together … \nOn the sidelines\, SIFF Pop-Up will be hosted in Sharjah Research Technology & Innovation Park with a series of activations and workshops aiming to encourage the young to get involved with film. \nThe website is less than helpful at the moment: right now you can’t tell exactly what’s showing when\, or how much the tickets might be. Hopefully it will get sorted out …

SUMMARY:La Llorona: dir Jayro Bustamante (2019)
DESCRIPTION:Guatemalan auteur Jayro Bustamante’s transfixing fusion of folklore\, magical realism and searing political commentary was inspired by the real-life indictment of the authoritarian Efraín Ríos Montt for crimes against humanity. A notorious\, indignant\, ageing former military dictator\, Enrique stands trial for atrocities committed against Guatemala’s Maya communities; as a horde of angry protestors threatens to invade his opulent home\, the women of the house – his haughty wife\, conflicted daughter\, and precocious granddaughter – weigh their responsibility to shield the erratic\, senile Enrique against the devastating truths being publicly revealed. While battling legal repercussions and the people’s demands for justice\, he and his family are plagued by a series of increasingly strange and disturbing occurrences\, seemingly brought on by an enigmatic new housekeeper. With a restraint that renders the film’s shocks all the more potent\, Bustamante crafts a chilling vision of a nation reckoning with collective harms and the restless ghosts of a past that refuses to die … Recommended. \nIn Spanish\, Mayan-Caqchickel and Mayan-Ixil\, subtitled in English.
