Great news! The films 
<http://www.cinemed.tm.fr/cgi-bin/film/film.cgi?sec=00749&ssec=01250&festi=43&uk=oui&mod=filmuk>Fratricide 
(<http://www.memento-films.com>Memento Films) by 
Yilmaz Arslan and 
<http://www.cinemed.tm.fr/cgi-bin/film/film.cgi?sec=00750&ssec=01251&festi=43&uk=oui&mod=filmuk>Waiting 
(<http://www.eurozoom.fr>Eurozoom) by Rashid 
Masharawi shown as previews at the 27th 
Montpellier Festival (2005) are to be released in France.

<http://www.cinemed.tm.fr/cgi-bin/film/film.cgi?sec=00749&ssec=01250&festi=43&uk=oui&mod=filmuk>Fratricide 
will be released on 12 April. Winner of the 
Silver Leopard at the Locarno Festival in August 
2005, this strong film immerses us in the violent 
everyday lives of Kurd refugees in Germany.

Then on 10 May, after selection at the Mostra in 
Venice, 
<http://www.cinemed.tm.fr/cgi-bin/film/film.cgi?sec=00750&ssec=01251&festi=43&uk=oui&mod=filmuk>Waiting 
will be shown to the French public. In his new 
film, Masharawi shows a filmmaker looking for 
actors for the Palestine National Theatre and who 
in the process discovers the reality of a people 
that he does not know well—his own people. 'A 
subbtle reflection of the force of images, 
Waiting is performed by actors whose accuracy and 
contained emotion are amazing.' (Arte-TV)

coordinator of the operation) that starts in the 
evening of Friday 17 March (17-26 March,

The second day (Friday 17 March) will be devoted 
to short films, to the means of renewing the ways 
in which young people address and understand 
these films and initiation in critical analysis.

participate and report on the experience of the 
Young People's Jury that has awarded a short film 
prize funded by the FASILD for a number of years now.
