From ‘Orweell 2+2 = 5’ to ‘Frankenstein’: TIFF movies about power, creation and survival are a warning

In other words, the movie compels us – in an uncomfortable way – to face what we prefer to deny: that the writer, equal parts, and imagination maintenance can imagine a future that now seems to be our present. Our subjective image is sewn not only from Orwell’s precise warnings about power, but from a nightmare we still insist that it is only imagination.

“They overwhelm you with information, with lies, work, and arrest people in the streets, making you afraid,” Beck adds. “They are horrific, as you know, it works. This is an incredible assault.”

Put your soul on your hand and walk

where Orwell: 2+2 = 5 It warns us of indifference to tyranny, Persian Put your soul on your hand and walk It compels us to face the daily facts to live under military control – specifically, in Gaza.

In early 2024, the Iranian director, who will support Persian, arrived in Cairo, which are not at hand, only to find the Gaza doors closed to them. A Palestinian refugee suggests that she is inviting Fatima Hasuna, a 24 -year -old photographer in Gaza. Through the camera and sound, the Persian discovered the only window that she could open.

“I had no profound relationship with someone I never met … this feeling is prohibited in a country that you cannot leave,” he told the Persian Wire. “Then it is just the magic of the meeting, human chemistry, and its smile was infectious.”

Put your soul He plays more than just a person’s life during a brutal military siege; War and the continuation of one life is one. He claims that genocide, and all that enables it, always search for one thing: erasure. But Hasuna’s smile, which is going entirely through video calls and broken communications for 112 minutes, makes this goal impossible.

The opening footage of Hasuna and the Persian that show themselves the entry of the film in this perspective, which not only feels the personality but very social. There are conversations on dreams, travel to fashion shows, and their hopes of war, while the Persian sometimes intersects and contemplates Hasuna about roaming her home cat.

Through the movie, Hasuna beats, not only as a photographer but as a witness to life that insists on being. She sings, writes, framing the world in small flashes of beauty – beginners, gestures, and moments that overwhelm and hold. The weight of Israel pressure, but in its eyes, and in its lenses, she feels flexible not as a heroic, but as an uncomfortable survival.

Their conversations are flashing inside and outside, contacts, cutting, and pixel decisions. Al -Farsi adopted the defects as part of the film’s life, allowing the public to feel frustrated and strange in communicating with Gaza. “By maintaining these stops and separation, I convey something very strange about the way we communicate with Gaza, because Gaza cannot be reached, however, it is like another planet.”

The film for the Persian was very similar to living in two worlds at the same time: Hassouna recording from afar, for sure, but also closely present as a friend, witness and man. “We were both in the photography and photography process, a kind of”, it reflects. “I had to remain normal, but I also underwent control in one way or another as a movie director. Because of course, I needed to be able to respond to the right path for it.”
