The Qumra Diaries: Eugenio Caballero and Pawel Pawlikowski share their filmmaking wisdom

E. Nina Rothe March 18, 2019

When I look at the title of this piece, I feel overwhelmed myself. I mean, it would be pretty wonderful to just hear one of the these two men who are such Maestros in each of their professions give a Masterclass. But when you get them both, within 24 hours of each other, on a stage, talking to the equally wondrous Richard Peña, well, you have cinematic magic.

Or more precisely, what you have is the Doha Film Institute’s annual Qumra event.

The Venice Diaries: The mixtape of Venezia 75 is an homage to creativity's soundtrack

E. Nina Rothe September 10, 2018

This year's Venice Film Festival seemed to carry a special soundtrack, like a mixtape of our collective thoughts and hopes and wishes. For a future where we are finally able to learn from our past and stop thinking that our opinions count individually. For a world where we will discover, finally, a middle ground in shades of grey, instead of living everything in either black or white.

Here is my Venezia 75 Mixtape.

The Venice Diaries: Alfonso Cuarón's 'Roma' takes us on a journey back in time

E. Nina Rothe August 30, 2018

It is immediately clear, from the beautiful black and white shots and the poetically intimate details that 'Roma' is a very personal film for Alfonso Cuarón. At times, the real-life inspired story of a middle class family in the Colonia Roma neighborhood of Mexico City, told through the eyes of their housekeeper Cleo, felt so private, so confidential, it seemed like I was intruding on something really special. But I still could not bring myself to look away, I didn't want to stop watching, I also didn't want the film to end because for more than two hours, Cuarón paid homage to womanhood. It takes a big man to do that and an even bigger filmmaker to get the message across.
