AND WITH A SMILE, THE REVOLUTION

The idea of Catalan self-determination has been building for the
past decade, culminating in the independence referendum of 2017. Capturing the weeks leading up to the referendum date of October 1, beginning with its approval by the Catalan parliament on September 6, Alexandre Chartrand’s documentary makes no claim for dispassionate objectivity. It does, however, capture the resolute focus, energy and, above all, joy of the campaign, maintained in the face of arrests and imposed pay freezes. And who could find nothing to celebrate in seeing a small nation assert itself so positively! DOM

HELLHOLE
Bas Devos
15:45 | TRISKEL NARRATIVE
Just as his debut feature Violet (CFF 2014) examined the traumatic effect a violent incident had on a group, Bas Devos’ follow-up observes the aftershocks experienced by three very different characters as
a result of a terrorist attack. Written in the shadow of the Brussels bombings of March 2016, Hellhole is a work of immense subtlety
and consideration. Very much a filmmaker concerned with what happens in the margins, in the quiet pockets of people’s lives, Hellhole confirms the arrival of a leading light of a new generation of European filmmakers. DOM
