'Mothers', Milcho

MOTHERS (2010) is the latest film by celebrated Macedonian
filmmaker Milcho Manchevski (Before the Rain, 1994)

screens at the 30th Istanbul International Film Festival (IFF) 2011

MOTHERS premiered in Toronto 2010 for US and in Berlin for its international premier.  

STAY TUNED FOR INTERVIEW WITH THE DIRECTOR COMING SOON!

"MOTHERS begins with fiction, indeed with the fabrication of a lie,
moves on to an attempt at the fabrication of a myth and ends in the
shattering imagery of the real, where no fabrication is possible. Lying
below the surface of all the episodes is a small web of fibs and
betrayals, minor on the whole, but gaining an awful power in the final
act, where a man respected by the community turns out to have deceived
them all. There is no easy reading of Mothers, only a need for us to
work with the filmmaker to uncover its many meanings."... read more of
