Director and Red Sea IFF Jury President Oliver Stone explores the possibility for the global community to overcome the challenges of climate change and energy poverty to reach a brighter future through the power of nuclear energy. In this wide-ranging doc, Stone looks at how coal and oil lobby groups partly funded a disinformation PR campaign to protect their own interests in the middle of the 20th Century and how this campaign would sow fear about harmless low-level radiation and create confusion between nuclear weapons and nuclear power. As a documentarian, Stone has built his stellar reputation through challenging Orthodox thinking, and here he uses unprecedented access to the nuclear industry in France, Russia, and the United States in presenting his case. Oliver Stone will be present at Red Sea IFF.

THE TALE OF DAYE'S FAMILY

Director: Karim Elshenawy

Daye, an 14-year-old Nubian albino with a golden voice, faces adversity due to his unique appearance. Abandoned by his father and bullied by peers, he dreams of following his idol, Mohamed Mounir. When he gets a chance to audition for The Voice, Daye and his family embark on a perilous journey from Aswan to Cairo. Their journey is fraught with challenges: a stolen car, lost money, and a harrowing escape from the police. They face discrimination and struggle to survive, but their unwavering determination and Daye's powerful voice keep them going. With the help of a kind fireman and a chance encounter with Mounir himself, Daye overcomes obstacles and captures the hearts of a nation. Daye is a heartwarming tale of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of music. It’s a poignant exploration of tolerance, ambition, and the unbreakable bond of family.

LITTLE JAFFNA

Director: Lawrence Valin

“You’re not in Paris any more. You’re in Little Jaffna.” During the civil war in Sri Lanka that raged from 1983 until 2009, Tamils in the Parisian district of Little Jaffna were forced to contribute towards buying arms for Tamil Tigers. Aya, ostensibly a grocer, leads the ruthless extortion gang that bleeds the community dry. Michael, a straight-shooting young police officer with Tamil roots, is sent to infiltrate the organization but as he befriends the gang’s members at terrible risk to himself, he starts to see the issue in a more nuanced way and feels his loyalties shifting. Valin combines the theatricality of Tamil movies with the hard edge of new French cinema, using largely non-professional actors, in this spectacular thriller.
