Stop motion "arts and crafts" animator Catya Plate talks to MIAFF festival director Laurie Gordon about her win and special mention of her

animated trilogy Meeting McGuffin.

Just coming to MIAFF 2017 from Holly shorts in Los Angeles Catya talks about her win 

and travels on the exciting festival circuit, and plans upcoming for her animated  trilogy.

Interview with Catya Plate against the beautiful city skyline of Montreal at the steps of Moyse Hall, the wonderful venue of MIAFF 2017 in the Golden Square Mile.

Few actors are as recognizable in American movies as Harry Dean Stanton. The singularly mild-mannered face of the New Hollywood, his repertoire expands to dozens of appearances in beloved studio, cult and independent movies, with only a handful of starring roles to his name. In a career spanning more than 60 years, Stanton’s inimitable, gently hangdog persona revealed a capacity for harebrained agitation and profound melancholy that prove equally disarming, all while never less than at ease on camera. Stanton has worked with many of the most important names in international cinema, from Sam Peckinpah to Wim Wenders to David Lynch. On occasion of his starring role in Lucky (opening September 29 courtesy of Magnolia Pictures)—and keeping in mind critic Roger Ebert’s famous proclamation that no film with his presence could be without merit—the Quad is proud to present a wide-ranging selection of his most memorable roles.

About Doc Circuit Montréal

Each year, Doc Circuit Montréal organizes an intensive schedule of business meetings and professional‐development workshops as RIDM’s professional market. The 13^th edition of Doc Circuit Montréal will take place from November 11 to 15, 2017 at the Cinémathèque Québécoise (335 de Maisonneuve East Blvd, Montréal).  

A film about tough streets and tender ties - the World Premiere of “Familiye” will open the Festival on September 13, 2017

After serving a 5-year prison sentence, Danyal is free at last to rejoin life on the outside and resume his role as head of the family. Since the death of his parents, he’s assumed responsibility for his two younger brothers and kept the boys together. But in the rough hood of Berlin-Spandau-Neustadt, keeping a protective rein on both the gambling Miko, and the youngest, Muhammed, with Down syndrome, hasn’t been easy. And in a world where corruption, fear, and criminals dominate, when old debts are due and Muhammed risks being removed from his brothers by authorities and placed in a special care facility, ties that bind the brothers and the fragile balance of their existence threatens to unravel. 

In their debut feature, filmmaking duo, Kubilay Sarikaya and Sedat Kirtan, collaborate both off-screen and on as co-writers, directors, producers, and stars of the film. Inspired by the harshness of life on the streets he experienced as a youth, Sarikaya stars as Danyal in the urban labyrinth that entraps the brothers. Captured with striking authenticity - violence, crime, love, and hope pulsate with the power of cinémaverté, as the filmmaking duo offer a rare and loving insight into a world intimate to both.

Award-winning actor, Arnel Taci, stars as Miko, and in his screen debut, Muhammed Kirtan inspires in the role of Muhammed. With Violetta Schurawlow ("Head Full of Honey”) and rapper Xatar (Alles oder Nix Records) - who also contributed to the intense soundtrack and brought in Moritz Bleibtreu as a supporter of the project, who co-produced the film alongside Peter-Jörg Klein.

Determined to realistically portray and make accessible the lives of the people in their neighborhood, Sarikaya and Kirtan joined forces and founded their production company Lynarwood. In 2013, the native Berliners began working on the script, and in 2016 after months of rehearsals, began filming with a verisimilitude that is rare in young German cinema. FAMILIYE is a production of EKC-Film GmbH in co-production with Lynarwood and Paloma Film.

On Wednesday, September 13th, the world premiere of FAMILIYE will be held at the Opening Night Gala of the 24th Edition of the Oldenburg International Film Festival, with the directors, actors, and producers in attendance.
