'OTEL·LO' screening and Q&A with director, Hammudi Al Rahmoun Font

Cinema.  United Kingdom, 02/03/2015

In his award-winning debut film 'Otel·lo', Catalan director Hammudi al Rahmoun Font channels Shakespeare's 'Othello' to engage with and critique cinema's 'Masters' Orson Wells and Alfred Hitchcock. Winner - Best European Independent Film, ECU - European Independent Film Festival 2013. Director Hammudi al Rahmoun Font comes to the UK to present his film in Durham, Sheffield, London and Cambridge.




With a young cast depending on him, al Rhamoun Font charts the director's compulsion to blur the lines of trust so he can get the film he wants. But at what cost? Dealing with old themes of sexual exploitation, the male gaze, and the enormity of the director's ego in a fresh way, the film charts the descent of  rehearsals for a production of Othello into a battle of race and gender relationships. Gripping and provocative, this film is an unforgettable exploration of sexism and racism for modern times.
