"Tous Les Cinemas du Monde".
"Tous Les Cinemas du Monde" (World Cinema) began in 2005 to showcase films from a variety of different countries. From 19 May to 25 May 2007, films were screened from India, Lebanon, Poland, Kenya, Guinea, Angola, Slovenia, and Colombia.
India.
The first two days of this program held during 19 May to 25 May 2007 featured special screening of Indian films; "Saira" (2005), "Missed Call" (2005), "Lage Raho Munna Bhai" (2006), "Dosar" (2006), "Veyil," (2006), "Guru" (2007), "Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal" (2007), and "Dharm" (2007).
Lebanon.
Debuting at the Director's Fortnight was Nadine Labaki's Caramel, a charming dramedy about five women who gather at a beauty salon and deal with their everyday problems with men, social expectation, sexuality, and tradition vs. modernizing times. Labaki not only directed and co-wrote the film but plays the lead as well. The rest of the cast is composed mostly of unprofessional actors, all of whom deliver very convincing performances and add a lot of color and depth to the film. Reminiscent of a Pedro Almodóvar picture, Caramel is unique not just for its technical and creative sophistication but also for not tackling any of the religious, political, or war-related issues that have continued to plague its setting, Lebanon, til now. The film proved to be a sleeper at the festival and was distributed in well over 40 countries, becoming an international hit.
