Coralie Fargeat’s ‘The Substance’ and David Bowie Homage Join Fully Announced Lineup For Mediterrane Film Festival
The Mediterrane Film Festival has unveiled its full 2024 program, including screenings, masterclasses an retrospectives.
Further program additions include Mahdi Fleifel’s Directors’ Fortnight standout “To a Land Unknown,” which Variety labeled “a confident, angry, fully-realized drama,” and Truong Minh Quy’s Un Certain Regard breakout “Viet and Nam.” An extended version of the Malta-shot “Jurassic World: Dominion” will play as part of the Malta Expanded strand, while on the retrospective end of the program, the festival will honor David Bowie with screenings of Nicolas Roeg’s “The Man Who Fell to Earth” and Lisa Azuelos’s “My Way,” plus a masterclass on the musician’s enduring legacy helmed by British Film Commissioner Adrian Wootton titled “David Bowie: Celebrating 60 Years of Genius.” Artistic Director Teresa Cavina said she is “very happy” with the selection, calling it “a chorus of strong and harmonious voices that, through extraordinary films, gives shape to a complex and varied universe, a mirror of the reality that surrounds us, often difficult to decipher, sometimes painful, but also full of hope and capacity for renewal.” BAFTA-winning director Mike Leigh, the recipient of this year’s Career Achievement Golden Bee Award, will sit for an In-Conversation event with Adrian Wootton, and other masterclasses include editor Yorgos Mavropsaridis (“Kinds of Kindness,” “Poor Things”), production designer Nathan Crowley (“Wonka,” “Dunkirk”), casting director Margery Simkin (“Top Gun,” “Mamma Mia”) and composer Simon Franglen (“Avatar: The Way of the Water,” “Ocean’s Eight”).
