"An excellent piece of work." "A beautiful film." "I See The Stars At Noon is...one of the most poignant and relevent films on asylum I have seen." "Another documentary that should be sought out...Farouky generates an intimate and nuanced portrait of an intelligent but increasingly desperate young man...The film brushes against the ethics of the documentary process as well as that of the migration." "I See The Stars At Noon is the poignant, deeply personal tale of Abdelfattah...that humanises those that are otherwise faceless." "This is an important documentary for the 21st century because the subject, Abdelfatteh, knows about the role of the filmmaker and challenges the documentary-maker on camera. It makes viewing both uncomfortable and enlightening." "The best documentary films are, of course, those which do not trust themselves. One of the best examples of this highly interesting theme...is I See the Stars at Noon...All the old ethical questions of the genre, around the degree of participation of the documentary filmmaker, are very specifically addressed." "Absorbing and searching...it shows the picture from the other side." "...offers an intimate look at the topic [of illegal immigration]." Official Selection: |
