Lou du Pontavice’s short film “The Watchman” (Le Veilleur) is having its French Premiere in the Vesoul International Film Festival for Asian Cinema. This Belgium production is largely in the Chinese language and the central relationship revolves around a father and his son. The hopelessness amidst the political and social situations fuels the crux of their internal conflicts.
“The Watchman” is screening at Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinema
The father from the aforementioned duo, Guangdong, becomes a warden at a music conservatory. The reason is not only about getting a source of income but rather his child, a 14-year-old, who loves playing the horn. This little kid passed an entrance exam to study the French horn there and his father’s position lets him look after the child day-to-day. He wants to keep an eye on him and his progress in the education.

Panama City — Fueled by one of the strongest film tax incentive schemes in the world – with a 100% break for national productions, 25% break for international productions, and 1.5% withholding tax – the Dominican Republic has seen a surge in film production since the new film law was enacted in 2010.
This phenomenon has been further leveraged by the creation of the Pinewood Dominican Republic Studios, operated by Lantica Media, as part of a partnership with the Pinewood Studios Group.
The favorable fiscal climate has attracted a rising number of English-language shoots including Netflix’s series “The I-Land,” the BBC-NBC three-part series “The Long Song,” and Barry Jenkins’ “If Beale Street Could Talk.”
The Dominican Republic’s film industry, with around 25 films produced per year and average budgets close to $1 million, stands out in the Central American and Caribbean region, where filmmakers are often forced to resort to guerrilla filmmaking techniques to get their films made.

Channel 4’s one-off drama feat. This Is England’s Stephen Graham is tense and thought-provoking with a terrific central performance…
This review contains spoilers.
With very few tweaks, The Watchman could slot in as an episode of dystopian tech anthology series Black Mirror. No matter that it takes place in the present and features technology already so widespread you’ve almost certainly been captured by it multiple times today, its depiction of modern alienation aligns it perfectly with the Charlie Brooker drama. The two also share a composer in Jon Opstad (whose cleverly spare score is the closest thing Stephen Graham could reliably call a co-star here) and the ability to captivate in no time at all.
The Watchman seizes you in its first minutes with a simple but urgent problem. An anonymous woman is preparing to jump to her death – can lone CCTV operator Carl...
