To Rest in Peace will be part of a special screening of Kuwaiti short films at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. The screening is curated by Talal Muhanna, and will feature films by Meqdad Al-Kout, Mousaed Khaled, Omar Al-Masab, Monira Al-Qadiri, Basil El-Hadi, Mohamed Walid Ayyad, Faisal Al-Duwaisan, and Dawood Shuail.
WHEN: February 5, 2013, at 9AM.
WHERE: Georges Conchon Theater.
It's been over a year since the last festival submission for To Rest in Peace. We've been very fortunate to have the film continue being requested for screenings all over the world. Clermont-Ferrand always has a strong USC presence, with our ambassador from the Festivals Office, Sandrine Cassidy, in attendance. And this group of Kuwaiti filmmakers is particularly strong. I've seen some of their films before, and look forward to seeing them again.
For an insight into the Clermont-Ferrand experience, check out this blog post by John Dion, a good friend of mine whose thesis film Cupid (edited by yours truly) played at the festival last year.
