A retrospective of 7FFF Jury members Daniel Mulloy & Christoffer Boe

Fresh Film Fest is going feature a retrospective of independent British short film director Daniel Mulloy. A second retrospective will focus on the previously announced Christoffer Boe, a Danish director and scriptwriter whose debut film won an award at the Cannes Film Festival. Both filmmakers will join czech actress Martha Issová in the festival's main jury.

The previous five works by Daniel Mulloy, whose new film “Baby” is just being completed, have won over sixty awards at various festivals, including Clermont-Ferrand and Cracow. “I find that human beings, even when they go through incredibly tough situations, often also have a very tender side, a sensitive core where ultimately they really care about each other. People in families can do awful things to each other but they often also love the people they’re doing them to. That is what I want to capture in my work,” Mulloy said about what connects his films. Fresh Film Fest will screen his films “Sister”, “Antonio’s Breakfast”, “Dad” and “Son.”

As a member of the festival’s main jury, Mulloy will join Danish cinematography star Christoffer Boe, the newest discovery from the north after Lars Von Trier. Boe’s 2003 debut “Reconstruction,” which tells the story of Alex, whose life is turned upside down by a chance meeting with Aimee, won many awards at film festivals, including the Golden Camera for best debut film in Cannes. In addition to “Reconstruction,” Fresh Film Fest will screen two more films by this director – “Offscreen” with the brilliant Nikolas Bro in the lead, and his last film “Everything Will be Fine”. In this 2010 film, the main character, a film director named Jacob, accidentally discovers classified documents about the torture of Iraqi prisoners by Danish soldiers.
