Listen Again

Friday, 25 March 2022 - 14 minutes

We take a look at two highlights of the Fribourg International Film Festival programme over the next few days. 

Film Producer Jorge Cohen curated the Angola section of films and we want to know what he especially set out to highlight about Angolan cinema, and more about the film that he produced Ar Condicionado / Air Conditioner - that inspired this focus at FIFF this year.

Also, Poet and Director of the beautiful and moving film When Pomegranates Howl, Granaz Moussavi shared her experiences making a movie in Afghanistan and personally audtioning 50 children from Kabul. She's said already that the film was incredibly difficult to make, but it was an international effort!
