IFFR 2016

Yared Zeleke

A realistic children’s film with mature undertones. About a boy who grows up without parents in the harsh mountains of northern Ethiopia, but also about the adults around him. And yes, it’s also about his sheep - his best friend, who is in danger of being sacrificed.

It had not yet been done, a film about making films in Ethiopia. So IFFR had it made by the youngest talent we could find.

New eyes for seeing a new, sensual world. A young female filmmaker imagines what it is like to be a young girl, perhaps the one she once was.Screens before Price of Love.

New Eyes

Hermon Hailay

What is the price of love, a taxi, an honest life, forgiveness for a criminal past? A bit of everything in this film that also shows a bit of everything in today’s Addis Ababa. Price of Love is more serious than a popular film from Ethiopia but just as entertaining.
