My special moments

IFFR 5

Again interesting films yesterday, some recommendations:

Paths of the Soul by Zhang Yang.
A Chinese film about a group of eleven people (including a pregnant woman and a girl) eventually sets off on their pilgrimage on foot - a journey lasting months through all kinds of weather over a distance of about 1200 kilometres, partly intended as penance and partly for the peace of mind of others.
Every few yards the travellers throw themselves to the ground, wearing a large apron of animal skin and wooden blocks on their hands for protection.
I was deeply impressed by this film.

Alba a film by Ana Cristina Barragán from Ecuador.
Alba, phenomenally acted by Macarena Arias.
She is a shy girl aged eleven who goes to live with her solitary father when her mother has to go to hospital.
As if the fuss at school and approaching puberty weren't complicated enough.
After the screening there was a Q&A
See the extra photo with Macarena Arias.

The Blip was taken in the restaurant, since we had to find some time to eat as well in between...
