An edition of Venice Festival So marked by politics and genocide in Gaza could not end otherwise. The winners of this edition attended journalists in the classic press conference, where Jim Jarmusch, usually taciturn and mysterious recorded his activism. I had done it on stage the same sheet that took Kauther Ben Hania days ago and in which the word ‘engough’ (‘enough’) was read, and he did it in the second question that was asked.
Jarmusch responded to whether he would show his film in Israel. “I am very cautious about who supports any organization in Israel who wants to project my films,” he said to start and move on to a more forceful response. “I don’t want any government support and I don’t want them to project there either. But you raise a very interesting point. There are Israeli in Israel who are very beautiful people and have a very strong spirit. And there are people who want there, people who are not follower of Netanyahu. So I do not judge. I do not like to judge or generalize, because otherwise, I would not have to project my film in the USA, because the destruction of Gaza is financed by Gaza that benefits from war, ”he said.
For Jarmusch “the problem is that there is a lot of dirty money involved throughout the planet, but, in particular, in Gaza”, something that considers “brutally visible to all.” “There are many other places in the world where brutality and attempts to eradicate people and cultures are abhorrent. But I am not here to talk about all that, I only try Like to tease me, but I just said it, if there is money from the Israeli government behind, I will not, ”he settled.
Jarmusch was more political than ever after collecting the golden lion for his Father Mother Brother Sister, A tender and delicate look at family relationships, from the most toxic to the most beautiful. A film that beat the favorite, Hind’s voice, of Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania, who counts, using the audio of her real call, the murder of a Palestinian girl by the Israeli army. It was the title that marked an edition marked by the atrocities of Israel in Gaza, something that even caused a demonstration last Saturday that brought to Lido, headquarters of the contest, more than 5000 people who asked for the end of the genocide.
