HOBO @ 76th Berlin Film Festival w/ Cleo Diara

🇬🇧 At the 76th Berlinale, with the European Shooting Stars programme, the European Film Promotion brings ten promising, versatile European acting newcomers to the festival each year.

Cleo Diára is the star chosen to represent Portugal in the programme. She was born in Cape Verde, before moving to Lisbon as a child and discovering a love for the theatre, a passion she has held ever since. Having performed under the guidance on many noteworthy directors in stage productions, and with her collective Aurora Negra, she brings that same energy and authenticity to her screen performances, with a starring role in Pedro Pinho’s I Only Rest in the Storm (2025), which won Diára the Un Certain Regard – Best Performance award in Cannes 2025.

Other noteworthy credits include the uniquely creative Diamantino (2018), while she’ll next be seen in Entroncamento, directed by Pedro Cabeleira.

You can also read the full interview (in Italian) on NewsCinema.it.

🇮🇹 Alla 76ª Berlinale, con il programma European Shooting Stars, l'European Film Promotion porta ogni anno al festival dieci promettenti e versatili attori europei emergenti.

Cleo Diára è la star scelta per rappresentare il Portogallo nel programma. Nata a Capo Verde, si è trasferita a Lisbona da bambina e ha scoperto l'amore per il teatro, una passione che coltiva da allora. Dopo aver recitato sotto la guida di molti registi di rilievo in produzioni teatrali e con il suo collettivo Aurora Negra, porta la stessa energia e autenticità nelle sue interpretazioni cinematografiche, con un ruolo da protagonista in I Only Rest in the Storm (2025) di Pedro Pinho, che le è valso il premio Un Certain Regard - Miglior Interpretazione a Cannes 2025.

Tra gli altri lavori degni di nota c'è il creativo e unico Diamantino (2018), mentre la vedremo prossimamente in Entroncamento, diretto da Pedro Cabeleira.

Three interviews in a restaurant. All shot from the same angle. It’s always the same with Hong Sang-soo. Same — but different. It’s the minor variations that create the interest.

Hong Sang-soo’s latest film, The Day She Returns (Geunyeoga doraon nal), is even more minimalist than usual, using just a handful of scenes to create a cinematic poem which premiered at the Berlinale in the Panorama section.

We are back again from Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival on the third day of the main competition. There are some recurring topics that are now starting to become evident across the films we are seeing here. Family and intimacy under pressure, but also questions of care, power, belonging, and the experience of living between worlds are themes running through this year’s selection.

Starting from “Rosebush Pruning”, the new film by Karim Aïnouz, loosely inspired by Marco Bellocchio’s 1965 debut feature “Fists in the Pocket”, and “Nightborn”, by the Finnish writer-director Hanna Bergholm, a follow-up to her well-received 2022 debut.

With family also deals “A Voix Basse”, Leyla Bouzid’s quietly effective third feature, starring the newcomer Eya Bouteraa as a young returning home for a funeral, and Hiam Abbass as the mother unwilling to fully accept her sexuality.

But the best film we have seen so far is Dao by Alain Gomis, shot between France and his father’s village in Guinea-Bissau. The film blends fiction, documentary and autofiction, in the most sincere sense, and asks a crucial question for artists: what do we want to share through art and what do we want to say about ourselves?

Charli XCX reflected on playing a heightened version of herself in “Brat” mockumentary “The Moment” at its Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival press conference.

The singer-songwriter also stars in the film, which follows a rising pop star as she navigates the complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena-tour debut.

🇮🇹 A Venezia abbiamo avuto modo di intervistare Rodrigo Sorogoyen, uno dei registi fondamentali per capire il cinema europeo contemporaneo. Autore di opere magistrali come As Bestas e Madre, adesso alle prese con una serie tv (o un film in dieci episodi, come spesso ci si domanda, specialmente in queste ultime settimane) che racconta la “razón de amor” di una coppia lungo un decennio di convivenze e separazioni, con ogni episodio ambientato durante uno dei dieci capodanni che lo scandiscono. Una riflessione sul tempo della giovinezza, sul tempo dell’amore, sul tempo del cinema e su quello della televisione. Un’opera eccezionale che prosegue la sperimentazione del regista spagnolo sulla coppia (dai tempi di 8 citas) come unità fondamentale delle proprie narrazioni.

🇬🇧 In Venice we had the opportunity to interview Rodrigo Sorogoyen, one of the key directors in contemporary European cinema. Author of great films such as As Bestas and Madre, now dealing with a TV series (or a film in ten episodes, as we often ask ourselves, especially in these weeks) which tells the “razón de love” of a couple over a decade of cohabitation and separation, with each episode set during one of the ten New Years that mark it. A reflection on the time of youth, on the time of love, on the time of cinema and television. An exceptional work that continues the Spanish director’s experimentation on the subject of the couple (since his first feature film “8 citas”) as the fundamental unit of his narratives.

🇬🇧 The guest of this episode of HOBO is Signe Baumane, a Latvian animator, artist, illustrator and writer, currently living and working in New York City. She wrote, directed, designed and animated 16 shorts and two animated feature films. Her new work “My Love Affair With Marriage” tells the story of a spirited young woman’s quest for perfect love and lasting marriage. It premiered in June 2022 at Tribeca Festival and has screened at over 90 festivals winning twenty awards. A story about the acceptance of the inner female rebellion told in a very peculiar visual style, which is a combination of two seemingly conflicting influences: the serious, moody, artsy Eastern European and the upbeat, funny, gag-based American animation.

🇮🇹 L’ospite di questo nuovo episodio di HOBO è Signe Baumane: animatrice, artista, illustratrice e sceneggiatrice lettone, attualmente di base a New York. Ha scritto, diretto, disegnato e animato 16 cortometraggi e due lungometraggi. Il suo ultimo film d’animazione “My Love Affair With Marriage” racconta la storia di una giovane donna alla ricerca dell’amore perfetto e di un matrimonio duraturo. È stato presentato in anteprima nel giugno 2022 al Tribeca Film Festival ed è stato proiettato in oltre 90 festival, ottenendo più di venti premi. Una storia sull’accettazione di se stessi, di ribellione contro la propria biologia, raccontata con uno stile visivo assolutamente unico, che è una combinazione di due influenze apparentemente contraddittorie: l’animazione seria, surreale e intellettuale dell’Est Europa e quella americana, più allegra, divertente e principalmente basata sulle gag.

🇬🇧 A heterodox communist, Pasolini used his work to present an ongoing transition: the end of an old epoch that belonged to Southern peasants slowly losing their century-old traditions and to Romans (“borgatari”) who had lived as a community without being absorbed by the Vatican or other powers. Pasolini was interested in these outcasts, whom he presented with a sense of nostalgia. As he said in his last interview, given hours before his death, he missed “those poor and real people who struggle to defeat the master without ever becoming that master. Since they were excluded from everything, they remained uncolonized”. He found the culture that killed the old epoch no improvement: dehumanizing, homogenizing, and corrupting capitalism. A genocide, as he called it.

Throughout his filmography, and of course explicitly in his latest remake of Pasolini’s Theorem, legendary director Bruce LaBruce has embraced the dialectical thinking of the Italian poet and the way he has always included paradox in his thinking, undermining his own authority and exposing his work to different, even conflicting, interpretations.

🇮🇹 Comunista atipico, Pasolini usò la sua opera per presentare una transizione in corso: la fine di un’epoca antica che apparteneva ai contadini del Sud, che stavano perdendo lentamente le loro tradizioni secolari, e a quei romani di borgata che avevano vissuto come comunità senza essere assorbiti dal Vaticano o da altri poteri. Pasolini si interessava a questi emarginati, che presentava con un senso di nostalgia. Come dichiarato nella sua ultima intervista, rilasciata poche ore prima della sua morte, gli mancava “quella gente povera e vera che si batteva per abbattere quel padrone senza diventare quel padrone. Poiché erano esclusi da tutto nessuno li aveva colonizzati”. Pasolini non individuava alcun miglioramento nella cultura che aveva sostituito la vecchia precedente: disumanizzante, omologante, corrotta dal capitalismo. Un genocidio, come lo chiamava lui.

In tutto il suo cinema, e ovviamente in maniera esplicita nel suo ultimo remake del Teorema di Pasolini, il leggendario regista Bruce LaBruce ha abbracciato il pensiero dialettico del poeta italiano e il modo in cui ha sempre incluso il paradosso nel suo pensiero, minando la propria autorità ed esponendo il proprio lavoro a diverse, persino contrastanti, interpretazioni.

🇬🇧 The guest of this episode of HOBO is legendary Bruce LaBruce, director, photographer, performer, writer and q***r provocateur. In his remake of Pier Paolo Pasolini's Teorema, set in a contemporary British context, “the visitor” is represented as a racial minority. A bold choice, considering the xenophobia and paranoia about immigration currently displayed in Europe, not only by the increasingly vocal extreme right wing elements actually gaining political traction and governmental representation, but more vaguely by traditionally colonialist countries that have previously “invaded” other countries of different ethnic majorities as hostile “aliens” themselves. For this re-imagining, it makes sense that the protagonist is a refugee, liberating the bourgeoisie from their sexual repression.

The film is cast and produced in London by a/political, a non-profit arts organization working with artists who interrogate the critical issues and dominant narratives of our time.

🇮🇹 L’ospite di questo episodio di HOBO è il leggendario Bruce LaBruce, regista, fotografo, performer, scrittore e provocatore q***r. Nel suo remake del celebre Teorema di Pier Paolo Pasolini, ambientato in un contesto britannico contemporaneo, “l’ospite” appartiene ad una minoranza. Scelta che ribalta la prospettiva originale e che punta a far emergere la xenofobia e le paranoie sull’immigrazione che attualmente stanno infiammando l’Europa, non solo a causa dei movimenti di estrema destra che stanno guadagnando sempre più terreno politico, trazione e rappresentanza governativa, in paesi tradizionalmente colonialisti che hanno precedentemente “invaso” altre nazioni come “alieni” ostili. In questa rivisitazione, quindi, il protagonista è un rifugiato che libera la borghesia dalla repressione sessuale.

Il film è prodotto da a/political, un’organizzazione artistica senza scopo di lucro che lavora con autori in grado di mettere in discussione il senso comune e le narrazioni dominanti del nostro tempo.
