Quand une nouvelle épidémie d'ampleur planétaire va-t-elle frapper ? À l'heure où de nouveaux virus émergent à une vitesse sans précédent et où Ebola tue en Afrique de l'Ouest, une enquête rigoureuse sur cette menace invisible.
En soixante ans, plus de trois cent cinquante nouvelles maladies infectieuses sont apparues : SRAS, H1N1, H5N1, Ebola… Une émergence de virus qui semble s'accélérer. Unanimes, les experts s'interrogent : quand une nouvelle épidémie mondiale va-t-elle frapper ? Peste, grippe espagnole, variole, sida... : l'histoire est traversée d'épisodes infectieux qui ont décimé des populations. Mais où en est la recherche aujourd'hui ? Sommes-nous mieux préparés ? Le film part sur les traces de trois virus particulièrement menaçants : le H7N9 de la grippe en Asie, le Mers-CoV, cousin du SRAS, actif au Moyen-Orient, qui suscite les pires terreurs en Afrique de l'Ouest.
Just over 40 years ago, marriage in China was arranged by the state. Romantic love was seen as a capitalist concept and was not allowed during this period. Wedding photography (if any at all) consisted of one black and white passport photo of the couple (dressed in Mao- style outfits) as proof of the marriage. Now, China has fallen in love with love and its exploding wedding industry is worth 80 billion dollars, and it is on an upward curve. Pre-wedding photography is one of the most significant and curious parts of the industry. Every couple marrying in China will take part in a pre-wedding shoot. It involves several costume and backdrop changes where you can become a character in any fantasy you choose. For the most exotic lo- cations couples pay up to $250,000 AUD. Pre-wedding photo shoots have become an important national ritual. They are proof of the marriage but now also of love, romance, freedom, status, money and the new China Dream. As an expat living in Shanghai with a long history of coming to China, Sinophile photographer Olivia Mar- tin-McGuire was captivated by the construction of dreams through this booming photographic world. Once she started to delve deeper into this new traditional she found a unique window into China. One that revealed a country dreaming, a country rapidly booming and a country reconstructing its recent past trauma all through their own lens. China Love takes us on a wild journey into the warmth of the family web in China into the hearts of our characters and into their personal dreams with an understanding of why and where these aspirations come from. The project explores China's new position as a globalised country from its restrictive and highly traditional past - through the window of its booming wedding industry and asks what is the new China Dream when it comes to love.
Mehran Tamadon explores what it was like being interrogated by the Iranian regime by asking prisoners to reconstruct their experiences.
Alongside his companion film Where God Is Not, My Worst Enemy finds Tamadon shifting focus from the interrogated to the interrogator. The filmmaker sought an individual who had been interrogated by Iranian authorities in order to draw on their experiences to play an interrogator. The role finally fell to the Cannes-winning lead actor of Holy Spider, Zar Amir Ebrahimi. Together in an anonymous room, with Tamadon stripped to his underwear, they reconstruct the interrogation process, which gradually becomes an examination of the nature of power and coercion. The resulting film is intense and, at times, uncomfortable. And as it progresses, My Worst Enemy becomes an exploration of cinema’s relationship with its audience, questioning whether there is a limit to what it can show.
