JANO AND SHIRO

Netherlands 2020. Director: Eefje Blanevoort, Els van Driel. 30 Min.

JANO AND SHIRO ARE INSEPARABLE. IN THE DUTCH ASYLUM SYSTEM, THEY ARE SUDDENLY WORLDS APART.

The inseparable brothers Shiro and Jano decide together to make an arduous escape from Syria to Europe. They are separated, endure terrible experiences, and find their way back together — their cell phone camera is always with them. Once they arrive in the Netherlands, the paradise they had hoped for looks different than expected: Shiro (15) finds support as a minor. He is allowed to learn the language, make friends and is integrated. The adult Jano (18) has to go to a reception center for adults, where he has to wait without the possibility of work. After one and a half years, the decision of the immigration authorities finally arrives.

When Melanie realises that her mother Dawn is increasingly suffering from paranoid delusions, her world comes crashing down. She wanted to move out and live her dream of going to college. But how can the 17-year-old help her mother without giving up on all her dreams? PAPER SPIDERS shines with outstanding actresses who embody Melanie’s fears for the future and Dawn’s mental illness in a touching way.

THE FAM

Alessia Radomski — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 09:18:52 +0000

THE FAM

La Mif. Switzerland 2021. Director: Fred Baillif. Screenplay: Fred Baillif. 110 Min. Fiction. Language: French. Subtitles: English. OV w/Eng. sub. Suitable from age 12. Recommended from age 15.

A residential care home in Geneva is a family replacement for the girls living there – but also the setting of explosive conflicts. The film tells its protagonist’s stories episodically. Being so close to the adolescents you cannot shake of the impression of watching a documentary. But it is fiction: THE FAM was developed over two years in close collaboration with the ensemble, reinforcing the authentic impact of this harsh but also empathetic film. In differing perspectives THE FAM depicts the young women’s situation and reflects the weaknesses of society’s fragile social and political structures, which are supposed to catch these kids. The film strikes at the heart.
