Colin Firth Presents Bahman Ghobadi's powerful film
15-Feb-2011
The London Film Festival was proud to launch Colin Firth's project Brightwide, a new website showcasing the best of social and political world cinema. Following a special screening of Bahman Ghobadi's powerful film, Colin Firth was joined by a panel of major contributors from the world of music, arts, politics and human rights campaigning. The discussion focused on how the work of politically engaged directors, such as Ghobadi, can accelerate social and political change. Brightwide will be a platform for film fans to debate the impact of political cinema, with films reviewed by high-profile, expert contributors. Site users will be encouraged to take action on the issues tackled in the films they watch, in collaboration with campaigning organisations such as Oxfam and WWF.

ghobadi celebrated
by humanbeing on Tue Feb 15, 2011 06:43 AM PSTthanks for this darius.
the clips are great, and remind me what a thought provoking and interesting movie 'persian cats' was.
i saw it at the jerusalem film festival last june. it was featured with other iranian films, and there was a reception with questions and answers.
i looked online for a list of the music, or a soundtrack collection, but couldn't find it. some of the musical performances were spectacular.
King's Speech is a good movie.
by Esfand Aashena on Tue Feb 15, 2011 05:23 AM PSTCouple years ago Helen Miren won the Oscar for portraying the Queen. Now her father! I think they spend a lot of money for the costumes and sets and it pays off.
I really liked the costumes and specially the old cars and the parks and areas and actually felt I was living in those times. Colin played very well but then again he was playing a character with a handicap so it makes it easier, not harder.
Nicole Kidman and Charleze Theron were both heavily altered by makeup and won Oscars for those made up roles. Very good acting but I'd give the Oscar for other roles.
