”My relationship with the Stockholm film festival is longer than my career as a director”, notes the director in a press release and tells how he during his second year in high school saw David Lynch's film ”Wild at heart” at the festival.
In ”Eagles of the republic” Fares Fares, Zineb Triki from ”False identity” and the French starlet Lyna Khoudri play the main roles. The political thriller takes place in the glamorous Egyptian film industry.
The Stockholm film festival opens on November 5. Already on August 13, Tarik Saleh will visit the film festival's Sommarbio in the capital for a curated conversation about the work on the film.
