About the movie Tatami
While Iranian female judo fighter Leila is performing spectacularly well at the Judo World Championships, she receives an ultimatum from her government. Should she give up, or follow her dream? Nail-biting sports thriller.
Midway through the Judo World Championships, Leila and her coach Maryam receive an ultimatum from the Islamic Republic: Leila should fake an injury and lose. If she refuses, she will be branded a traitor of the state.
With her own and her family’s freedom at stake, Leila is faced with an impossible choice. Will she comply with the Iranian regime, as her coach Maryam implores her to do? Or will she fight on and go for gold? Tatami is both a riveting story of an athlete trying to achieve gold, and a political thriller where Iranian women are subjected to persecution, intimidation and possibly kidnapping at the hands of their country’s far-reaching authoritarian regime.
About the movie New Kind of Wilderness
On a small farm surrounded by fir forest lives a family that has made an unconventional choice – Maria and Nik and their four children grow their own food, are homeschooled and sleep together. They live out their dream of a free and independent life close to each other and nature. But then tragedy strikes them, and the world they know is turned upside down. Reluctantly, the family must change their lifestyle and adapt to modern society again.
The Norwegian and the British mutual underplayed sense of humor goes beautifully and convincingly well together in this existential questioning of life choices and values.
