They had it all: seventeen acres of land, endless freedom and a donkey called Geronimo – until their community fell apart. Awoken from an utopian dream, the sailors return to the mainland and to the very society they wanted to escape from. Now they live on rusty ships in an anonymous harbor town, out of work and out of luck. At night they meet on deck, drinking and cursing each other for the failure of a perfect utopia. Each of them is haunted by the island's dark and compelling promise. Can they ever break through the spell it cast on them?   Filmography: Arjun Talwar «WHERE I CAN’T BE FOUND, 2015 «HABITAT», 2015 A Donkey Called Geronimo, 2018   Bigna Tomschin A Donkey Called Geronimo   Festivals and Awards: DOK Leipzig 2018 Visions du Réel 2019 TRT Documentary Awards, 2019 Film Fest Schleswig Holstein 2019 Ischia Film Festival, 2019 Apricot Tree Documentary Film Festival , Yerevan   ]]> Special Screenings Sun, 01 Dec 2019 07:59:07 GMT http://old.irandocfest.ir/en/news/6822/a-donkey-called-geronimo http://old.irandocfest.ir/en/news/6821/blow-it-to-bits Director: Lech Kowalski Screenplay: A Lech Kowalski Cinematography: Lech Kowalski Editor:  Lech Kowalski & Odile Allard   Producer:  Odile Allard Distribution/sales: Odile Allard       Synopsis:   A mix of Rock and Roll and Blues are the secret for successful rebellion. When I took my camera to the middle of France where the GM&S factory was threatened by a permanent shut down, I felt like something extraordinary was about to take place. And it did. The lyrics were written by workers who have had enough! The tune was composed by people not afraid to go against even the rules of revolt! The volume was loud enough to attract the media. Their working-class concert spread across France like wild fire. I sat out of sight, camera in hand, filming like catching fish in a barrel.   Filmography: The Boot Factory (2000) Hey!

Nevertheless, Nick doesn’t give up to what makes him happy: his job, his beloved ones and, of course, food. Luckily, lifelong friends are on his side: not just common friends but chef and artists from all over Italy. Simone Salvini, Roy Paci, Paola Maugeri: interchanging their voices to the main story, these special guests cook Nick’s favorite dishes, trying - between a crudaiola pasta and some eggplant parmesan - to answer the same question.   Filmography: The Great beauty, 2011 “Emergency Exit – Young Italians Abroad”, 2011 "Sea Sisters", 2018   Festivals and Awards : Biografilm Festival 2018 - Winner Lifetale Award and Audience Aaward HotDocs Canadian International Documentary Festival Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival World Film Festival 2019 Diritti a Orvieto Human Rights Festival Winner     ]]> Special Screenings Sun, 01 Dec 2019 07:33:21 GMT http://old.irandocfest.ir/en/news/6820/bottoms-up http://old.irandocfest.ir/en/news/6818/honeyland Director: Ljubomir Stefanov , Tamara Kotevska   Screenplay: Ljubomir Stefanov , Tamara Kotevska Cinematography: Samir Ljuma , Fejmi Daut    Editor: Atanas Georgiev  Producer: Atanas Georgiev    Distribution/sales: Deckert Distribution GmbH    Synopsis: Nestled in an isolated mountain region deep within the Balkans, Hatidze Muratova lives with her ailing mother in a village without roads, electricity or running water.

Hatidze’s peaceful existence is thrown into upheaval by the arrival of an itinerant family, with their roaring engines, seven rambunctious children and herd of cattle.
