RIZ CANTONAIS | OtR FF 2016 | In Competition

On the Road Film Festival 2016 | The Road Official Selection | In Competition. Anteprima romana. Vincitore del Jean Rouche Festival di Parigi. Mia e sua nonna vivono insieme a Parigi ma non hanno mai parlato la stessa lingua. Mia non ha mai imparato il cantonese. La nonna ama il formaggio francese, ma non ha mai imparato la lingua. Il padre di Mia si incarica malvolentieri di fare da interprete. / My eyes may have the Chinese slant, but I speak French, not Chinese. My Cantonese grandmother loves French cheese but not the language. We both live in Paris. Our mutual interpreter is my oft-reluctant father. And so I set out to meet other Chinese immigrants – people of different languages and backgrounds. It has allowed to me to give some sense to being deprived of my father’s mother tongue.

On the Road Film Festival – Call for Entries

Detour On the Road Film Festival 2016. Bando di Partecipazione / Call for Entries. Aperta la selezione al concorso per corti e lungometraggi on the road di ogni genere. Scadenza iscrizioni: 10 settembre 2016. Festival internazionale di cinema indipendente on the road e di frontiera, strutturato come manifestazione con vocazione itinerante in spazi di proiezioni indipendenti e inconsueti, presenta anteprime e lavori inediti legati al viaggio, alle geografie erranti, ai nomadismi, alla digressione da percorsi prestabiliti e allo sconfinamento. Questa quarta edizione intende porre l’accento su ciò che resta del viaggio: tracce, memorie, incontri. Si intende mettere a fuoco la necessità del viaggio come esperienza di contatto, di superamento, di inter-relazione con l’altro. DOTR Film Fest 016 è articolato in due sezioni competitive – THE ROAD (medio e lungometraggi >30min.) e SHORTCUTS (cortometraggi <30min.) e due sezioni fuori concorso con retrospettive, focus e laboratori.
