Docville 2011: Grande Hotel
As Belgian-produced documentaries attracted great turnout during the DOCVILLE festival, the praise for 'Grande Hotel' did not fail to be recognised. 'Grande Hotel' depicts with great naturalism and a hint of nostalgic humor, the unbearable yet frivolous survival trek that is called poverty in Beira, Mozambique.
Docville 2011: Catfish
"Not based on a true story, not inspired by true events. Just true."
Anonymous admiration and virtual identity become twisted in this documentary that shows a fortunate sequence of events, unraveling the illusive truth of a woman left alone with her fantasy.
Docville 2011: Inside Job
"A financial engineer earns 4 till 100 times more than a real engineer. A real engineer build bridges, while a financial engineer builds dreams."
Docville 2011: Selling the Silence
One of the themes of Docville this year is 'Focus on Finland'. The Finnish directors of these documentaries are inspired by the harsh living conditions in the far north of this country. 'Selling the silence' deals with the hard life in the village of Salla and its surroundings in Lapland near the Russian border.
Praise for “Hors la loi”
"Hors la loi" or "Outside the Law" is a 2010 movie, directed by Rachid Bouchareb and recently shown at the Africa film festival, that treats upon the Algerian battle for freedom at the French capital, between 1945 and 1962. The picture follows the lives of three brothers and their mother, that are spread around the globe after the 1945 Sétif massacre where innocent Algerians were murdered and slaughtered as part of the Algerian war.
