After addressing his family’s decades-long trauma in IDFA opener “Four Journeys,” Louis Hothothot (Louis Yi Liu) is already developing another intimate story. In “A Big Dream,” he will follow an American girl who weighs nearly 250 kg and dreams of becoming an actor in Beijing. In a clip shared with Variety, his protagonist admits to struggling with self-worth because of the way she looks, rendered “uncastable” because of her size.
“I am always interested in personal emotions and personal stories,” says Hothothot. In “Four Journeys,” the story in question is actually his own – conceived in violation of China’s one-child policy, introduced in 1979, he was an illegal “black child.” Although his birth has changed the life of his parents forever and ended his father’s political career, his family stayed mum on the subject.

On June 1, 2014, Matthijs Wouter Knol from the Netherlands became the new head of the Berlinale’s European Film Market (Efm). Since 2008, Knol has been the program manager of Berlinale Talents (formerly known as the Berlinale Talent Campus), and is well acquainted with both the Festival and the Efm.
Long-standing Efm head Beki Probst will become president of the Efm. In her new function, she will draw on her extensive experience and use her international network to establish Knol as new Efm head. She will also provide him with support and advice.
“Matthijs Wouter Knol will inspire new areas of business and the development of the European Film Market. With Knol, a professional is joining us who knows the festival well. He will strategically strengthen the synergies that have developed between the festival and the Efm,” says Berlinale Director Dieter Kosslick.
Knol was born in the Netherlands in 1977 and studied contemporary history at Leiden University and at the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome. He worked as a freelance journalist until 2001 before joining Pieter van Huystee Film, a renowned and internationally award-winning production company in Amsterdam. After becoming head of development in 2004, he focused on developing, financing and internationally co-producing documentary film projects. As the associate producer of various documentary films, he worked with acclaimed filmmakers, such as Heddy Honigmann and Mani Kaul. With Arte he also co-produced the DVD edition of Johan van der Keuken's digitally re-mastered works, which was awarded the Prix “Cahiers du Cinéma” in 2006.
In 2007, Knol started working for the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (Idfa), spreading his activity between the co-production and sales markets, and the IDFAcademy training programme. As head of the latter, he initiated the IDFAcademy Summer School. In 2008, he became head of Berlinale Talents (formerly known as the Berlinale Talents Campus)
Matthijs has worked with the festival since 2008 when he began the Berlinale Talents and highlighted the importance of training filmmakers about the international film business. He took the Berlinale to the Sarajevo Talents and the Guadalajara Talents. As the new head of the Efm, under the mentorship of Beki Probst, he will surely bring new ideas and new technologies to Berlin. Working with this past year's newly installed Co-Director of Efm, Andrea Kaul, whose expertise will reinforce the Efm in its coverage of new business fields on the ever-changing audiovisual landscape, including new television formats, with her experience with television and media companies including IP Deutschland (Rtl Group) and Be Viacom (Viacom International Media Networks Northern Europe), and the convention Telemesse; the international film world will see a new form of business taking a shape that extends beyond the confines of the traditional markets of Cannes and Ifta’s Afm.

With all the strange, interesting, and bad press that followed in the wake of Sasha Baron Cohen’s Borat film, you’re about to get a new look behind the scenes of the production, from the perspective of yet another group duped by the film. While many of the stories that came out the film didn’t evoke a great deal of sympathy, the curious bamboozling of the village of Glod in Romania might deliver a different picture.
Carmen Meets Borat Premieres Sunday, September 5, at 10 Pm on Global Voices on PBS World, and it’s worth checking out.
Carmen, a 17 year old girl living in the gypsy village of Glod, located in the remote mountains of Romania, dreams of a future bigger and brighter than the quiet life she is currently living. Working at her father’s store and being courted by a boy she does not love, Carmen believes...
