Cinematography
Documentary following a group of primary schoolchildren over the course of a year as they learn to read. Some of them make a flying start, but others struggle even with the alphabet. The film takes us into their home lives, where we find that some parents are strongly aspirational, tutoring children late into the night, while others speak English as a foreign language, if at all. As the children master the basics, they discover the magical world of stories and look with fresh eyes at the world around them. The film gives us privileged access to a profound process that all of us only ever do once in our lives.

City Of Dreams A Musical is a dizzying and unique musical extravaganza. Set in a school in Dharavi, Mumbai, the biggest slum in Asia, it combines observational footage of the children’s daily lives, with songs reflecting their hopes and dreams. This is the very first Bollywood style documentary musical. But this is not a depressing examination of extreme poverty, it’s an uplifting celebration of human spirit and endeavour.

El Sudán del sur se independizó en julio de 2011, después de haber vivido más de 50 años de guerra civil. A pesar de que las memorias de un gran número de víctimas de la violencia todavía están presentes, la nueva nación busca conseguir un lugar dentro del mundo del fútbol formando su primer equipo nacional. El hombre encargado de realizar esta tarea es el serbio Zoran Djordjevic, un entrenador veterano, dinámico y muy ambicioso. El film sigue el equipo durante su primer año, desde la búsqueda de nuevos jugadores hasta la compra de la mascota - la oveja Champion - pasando por los primeros partidos internacionales. El estilo agresivo e incluso dictatorial de Zoran provoca conflictos con la federación de fútbol y varios políticos. Mientras la euforia de la independencia se apaga, el equipo se encuentra afectado por peleas internas, malaria y la crisis económica que también afecta el nuevo estado. Un retrato único y lleno de comicidad oscura del nacimiento de una nación. (Filmaffinity)
