The film selection at the first edition of Izola`s Film Festival was a unique combination of films with different approaches and locations. The music of Brazil, Russian or Iranian realities are some of the subjects presented alongside the retrospective of Slovenian films. Globalization, present in every corner of the world, and cosmopolitism find themselves at home in Izola, a small coastal town on the Adriatic shore.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul - winner in Cannes, a guest in Izola

Apichatpong Weerasethakul represents a new wave of directors enriched by the wonders of progress and ways of easy reaching to the ideas that one belives in. Born in 1970, in Bankok, Thailand, with each of his films, Apichatpong Weerasethakul mixes fact anf fiction in building identities for its characters even if reality presented is not always linear as life itself keeps its surprises. Abstract and fragmented, his latest film Blissfully Yours, made in 2001, is either a real or an acted one. The answer is not quite important, but seeing the film is. Shown in Cannes, Apichatpong Weerasethakul`s first feature film is a revelation concerning the narrative structure by varying banal dialogues shatered in a time dilluation.

Nowadays it is uncommon to meet an actress who is so in touch with her own self and who so easily lets go of the inner parts of her personality in order to accomplish a character in her entirety. One can recognize the Russian soul of this actress – it is so full of passion, compassion and overwhelming generosity with which she acts and spreads her talent on stage or behind camera.

V Izolo potujem z dvema navdušencema nad Afriko – Gabriele in Rokom. Lakota nas daje, pripadamo skupnosti, ki širino sveta ne enači z ozkimi mejami svojega neznanja, češ: “Ker ne poznam nobenega afriškega filma, Afrika filma nima ...”

Uganka št. 2 je uspela, kinokamp pri svetilniku je dobil svoje ime: ŠKAMP. Avtor imena in veliki zmagovalec uganke je priznani slovenski režiser, ki nam je poleg Škampa dal tudi Prešerna in še marsikaj - Franci Slak. Skladno svojemu ugledu se je Franci odpovedal nagradi - festivalski kartici - v korist nadobudnih filmofilov. Preostali sodelujoči dobijo 5 brezplačnih vstopnic po svojem izboru.

Čestitamo našemu gostu, ki je za svoj novi film Tropical Malady prejel nagrado žirije na filmskem festivalu v Cannesu!
