✨Lion Award !✨
Who Loves the Sun won the first prize in the Orizzonti Short Films International Competition section at @labiennale ! 🎬🏆

« Who Loves the Sun looks at (…) how life goes on, even in the toughest conditions. It’s a testament to the strength of those living through it. (…) It makes me reflect on the privilege I have and the responsibility we all share in telling these stories. »
-From the award acceptance speech (Arshia Shakiba)

A huge congratulations to everyone who supported us along the way. This wouldn’t have been possible without the talent and dedication of our entire team. Thank you to the Venice Film Festival and the Orizzonti jury for this incredible honor. 🙏

The film was funded by @conseilartscan and the @lecalq. @la.sodec and @telefilm_canada supported us in travelling to the festival.

𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 (@iliadacharalambous with @hetrodekeukentje ) in collaboration with @riseup4rojava.netherlands warmly invites you for a filmscreening of 𝙂𝙪𝙡î𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣, 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙨 – a documentary film by @zayneakyol which sheds light on the lives of Kurdish women fighters who are collectively fighting for a revolutionary ideal.
 
The film, produced in 2016 when the battle against ISIS was peaking in the Kurdish territories of Iraq and Syria, follows the women guerillas while training and defending the territories, all while embodying a revolutionary ideal advocating female empowerment. As filmmaker Zaynê Akyol follows their highly regimented lives, seasoned fighters like Rojen and Sozdar openly share with us their most intimate thoughts and dreams.
 
Amid rocky mountains and arid deserts, they are the future of a people and confidently serve the ideal to which they have dedicated their lives. Offering a window into this largely unknown world, the film also exposes the hidden face of this highly mediatized war: the female, feminist face of a revolutionary group united by a common vision of freedom.
 
As in today’s political climate the situation in Kurdish territories remains critical, we invite you to join us for a collective reading prior to the film screening that can aid us in understanding the politicized culture that keeps the Rojava revolution alive.
 
Het Rode Keukentje will cook a delicious dinner of dolma with pomegranate for us all, part of our fundraising efforts to support the Kurdish Red Cresent

Basecamp runs on a lot of love and little money, please consider donating for your participation, we suggest something in between €3-8

So grateful for the opportunity to share WHO LOVES THE SUN at the Kitakyushu International Film Festival.
My sincere thanks to the festival organizers for their generosity and care, and to the students who selected the film and brought it into the program. It was truly meaningful to feel the thought and attention behind the invitation.
I’m also thankful to the audience for their presence and the conversations that followed the screening. I leave with deep gratitude for the warmth I received and for the friendships that began during this time. It was a beautiful and memorable experience. Thank you!

From Arshia: “I’m honoured to have had a conversation with the visionary artist Shirin Neshat about Who Loves the Sun. I believe that powerful, moving art often reflects the artist’s inner world, their depth, sensitivity, and soul. Shirin, whose work I’ve long admired, embodies this completely. I am grateful for her kind words, her attention to the film, and the meaningful reflections she shared.”

————

Un mot d’Arshia: «Je suis honoré d’avoir eu une conversation avec l’artiste visionnaire Shirin Neshat au sujet de Who Loves the Sun. Je crois que les œuvres puissantes et émouvantes reflètent souvent le monde intérieur de l’artiste, sa profondeur, sa sensibilité et son âme. Shirin, dont j’admire le travail depuis longtemps, en est l’incarnation même.
Je suis reconnaissant pour ses mots bienveillants, l’attention qu’elle a portée au film et les réflexions précieuses qu’elle a partagées.»
