Being a Terrorist

Carlos

Terrorists are great films characters

In September 2011 the whole world will remember the attacks that changed the face of our planet ten years earlier. The FIFF has chosen to move away from a geopolitical study of the events to present films that adopt a different point of view: terrorism as seen by the terrorists. The United Kingdom (We Are Four Lions), Palestine (Paradise Now), Japan (United Red Army) have produced sensational motion pictures. The FIFF will also create a sensation by premiering in Switzerland Olivier Assayas’s Carlos in its unabridged version.
