World Cinema Fund Spotlights
In collaboration with the Goethe Institute the WCF has launched the "World Cinema Fund Spotlights" series: selected WCF funded films are to be shown, initially in Israel, the Palestinian territories, Chile and Indonesia, in order to inform filmmakers and producers in those regions about the WCF. In addition to the series of films, workshops and case studies on WCF funded films are to take place during local festivals in the respective Goethe Institutes.
At film festivals in Jerusalem, Santiago de Chile and Jakarta as well as in Ramallah, films like El Otro (Ariel Rotter), Paradise Now (Hany Abu-Assad) and Zion and his brother (Eran Merav) among others will be screened to an international public. Case Studies are planned on, among others, Ghussoun (Yaron Shani & Scandar Copti) and El Cielo La Tierra y La Lluvia (José Luis Torres Leiva). Find more information under Press Releases.
