Iranian movies \u201cMakeup Artist\u201d and \u201cWater, Wind, Dust, Bread\u201d were honored at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMakeup Artist\u201d by Jafar Najafi won the FIPRESCI Award, the organizers announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWater, Wind, Dust, Bread\u201d by Mehdi Zamanpur Kiasari received a special mention in the IDFA Competition for Youth Documentary.<\/p>\n

\u201cMakeup Artist\u201d, the winner of the Award of Excellence at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in Japan, is about Mina, a makeup artist who is determined to realize her dreams. She not only refuses to succumb to her husband and mother-in-law\u2019s fierce opposition but also paves her own path and pushes forward along it. Gradually, it looks as if the people and world around her are starting to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWater, Wind, Dust, Bread\u201d tells the story of 11-year-old Abolfazl who lives with his family in an oasis in the Iranian desert. He picks dates, tends to his family\u2019s cows, does his homework, and has fun with his best friend Setayesh.<\/p>\n

The camera quietly observes their friendship as they swing between the date palms or climb the windswept rocks around the oasis. Abolfazl\u2019s mother bakes fresh bread, and tourists come to her guesthouse for the serene atmosphere.<\/p>\n

But life in the oasis is not entirely idyllic. Although Abolfazl lives with a physical disability, it is Setayesh who faces an even bigger hurdle. She is one of the 40,000 children in Iran who don\u2019t have a birth certificate, and as a result, she can\u2019t go to school.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Landsbergis\u201d a co-production of Lithuania and Netherlands by Sergei Loznitsa won the IDFA Award for Best Film in the international section of the festival.<\/p>\n

The IDFA Award for Best Directing in the International Competition went to Diem Ha Le for \u201cChildren of the Mist\u201d from Vietnam.<\/p>\n

\u201cHandbook\u201d a co-production of Germany and Belarus by Pavel Mozhar won the IDFA Award for Best Short Documentary, while a special mention in this section went to \u201cWolf Whispers\u201d by Chlo\u00e9 Belloc from France.<\/p>\n

\u201cI Am Trying to Remember\u201d by Iranian director Pegah Ahangarani had its world premiere in the short documentary section of the festival, while \u201cTonight\u2019s Homework\u201d by Ashkan Nejati went on screen at Luminous Section.<\/p>\n

In \u201cI Am Trying to Remember\u201d, Pegah talks about a man named Gholam, who is always present at her family gatherings. Gholam films these everyday scenes with his own camera. At the time, Pegah can\u2019t imagine what the purpose of these films might be, but she\u2019s happy to pose before the lens of this family friend, who she\u2019s certainly very fond of.<\/p>\n

It is as if Pegah, the film\u2019s director, and chief protagonist, is reading from a children\u2019s book; as if we are looking over her shoulder at Gholam\u2019s films of the family and the old photos. The large family radiates great warmth as we see them shoveling snow or just sitting around at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight\u2019s Homework\u201d has been made based on Abbas Kiarostami\u2019s 1989 \u201cHomework\u201d.<\/p>\n

In \u201cHomework\u201d, Kiarostami put questions to students at a public school: questions about homework, punishments, and dreams of the future. The result was a portrait of the generation that grew up during the Iran-Iraq war, trapped by uncertainty and a rigid upbringing.<\/p>\n

Now, some 30 years later, directors Nejati and Nematollahi repeat Kiarostami\u2019s questions and come to the conclusion that the school system and society itself have changed dramatically. The gulf between rich and poor has grown far wider, and that has become evident in the schools. Parents, many of whom are illiterate, are unable to help their young ones, or otherwise too busy with their careers to supervise homework. Any sense of interest or guidance is absent.<\/p>\n

Two now-adult subjects of Kiarostami\u2019s film agree that there\u2019s something fundamentally wrong with the way responsibilities get dumped on the shoulders of teachers. The only thing that\u2019s unchanged is the way the children reply in the approved manner\u2014yes, of course, they\u2019ve done their homework.<\/p>\n

The 34th edition of IDFA will be running in the Dutch capital until Sunday. \/T.T\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
