GIANT
Director: Rowan Athale
Rowan Athale directs this inspiring true story of legendary British-Yemeni boxing champion 'Prince' Naseem Hamed (Amir El-Masry) and his relationship with Irish boxing trainer Brendan Ingle (Pierce Brosnan). Giant charts Naseem’s rags-to-riches underdog tale from his humble beginnings in Sheffield to becoming featherweight champion of the world. With his dominance of the sport, Naseem faced down the racism and islamophobia that swept Britain in the 1980s and '90s and Giant explores the unlikely and tender relationship between Naseem and Ingle, as well as the instrumental role that Ingle played on the boxer’s road to success.
BLACK RABBIT, WHITE RABBIT
Director: Shahram Mokri
Iranian filmmaker Shahram Mokri develops multiple plot strands this engrossing, multilayered, playful and skilled drama centering around Sarah, the victim of a suspicious car crash who is swaddled in bandages and at odds with her controlling husband. What turns out to be a film-within-a-film-within-a-film zooms out to include the remake of a classic Iranian movie in Tajikistan, an armourer worried about a prop gun and an actress looking for her big break. Of course their fates collide through multiple fluid, bravura circular takes, often covering the same time frame, bold touches of magical realism — or are they sight gags? — and an eternal mystery. This spinning story is Tajikistan’s Oscar entry for this year.
