Haven't recieved a public award I am still sceptical as to how they are decided. Film awards might be comparably arbitrary. Sunday morning and Reuben and I went to the one of the few remaining screenings of Iron Claw, a wrestling movie starring Zac Efron. Throughout the 2hrs 12mins I wondered why this film hasn't made more noise. Great performances by the entire cast - Zac deserves an award just for being so incredibly jacked - iconic cinematography and score in any other year surely this would be a contender. My only criticism was the level of tragedy but then rightly guessed this must be based on reality, no writer with access to a script editor would inflict so much pain on one family.
Having once been called upon to judge screen work I can attest that this year with - Poor Things, the Holdovers, Zone of Interest, Killer Moon, Oppenheimer, Barbi, Maestro the judges are going to have a tough time, that is if judging 'art and not industry campaigns has anything to do with it.
Away from awards I am cheered by the love so many creatives have come together to make such movies. I'm cheered by audiences who love complex storytelling and I'm over the moon for the cinemas Watershed The Cube Microplex where film as art can be enjoyed.

Now to practice the Iron Claw

Acclaimed Mauritanian filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako (Timbuktu, Life on Earth) has unveiled his latest offering, Black Tea, a love story set against the backdrop of cultural exchange. The film, described as a “timeless, universal love story” by Gaumont, will have its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival’s Main Competition this month.

Black Tea follows Aya, a young woman from the Ivory Coast, who makes a bold decision to reject her arranged marriage and embark on a new life in Guangzhou, China. There, amidst the vibrant melting pot of the African diaspora and Chinese culture, she finds employment at a tea boutique owned by Cai, a middle-aged Chinese man.

Black Tea delves into the challenges and triumphs of cross-cultural relationships, offering a glimpse into the “complex Chinese-African relationship” through Aya and Cai’s journey. The film stars Nina Mélo, Chang Han, and Wu Ke-Xi, and boasts a production team including Cinefrance Studios, Archipel 35, and Dune Vision.
