It made its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival last year, and has been touring the film festival circuit since then. It was also 1 of 71 films screened for as many as 450 international distributors at the 14th Rendez-vous with French Cinema market in Paris, France, last spring. Directed by Frenchman Tony Gatlif, the drama is titled Indignados, and stars newcomer Mamebetty Honoré Diallo as Betty, a young undocumented immigrant from the African continent (although the synop doesn't say what country exactly; however, given her real name, I'd guess Senegal), travelling along the edge of the borders of a Europe that's "on the verge of collapse in terms of its social...

Indignados, which will premier at Berlin film festival, is loosely based on essay by 94-year-old concentration camp survivor
The traditional way of depicting history on the big screen is to wait a while after something has happened before turning it into a film. But one of the most talked-about premieres at the Berlin film festival depicts a chapter of the history books very much still being written: the Occupy movement.
Indignados (The Outraged) is loosely based on Indignez-vous! (Time For Outrage), an essay by Stéphane Hessel, a 94-year-old concentration camp survivor and former diplomat and ambassador. The slim volume, which urges readers to take action against the unfairness of modern society, was translated into at least 40 languages and has become the set text of the civilian movements that have occupied public spaces around the globe.

Following up the initial announcement of titles, the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival revealed it will open with the period drama Les Adieux à la reine (Farewell My Queen) today. From director Benoît Jacquot, the drama stars Inglourious Basterds lead Diane Kruger, as well as Léa Seydoux who broke-out in Midnight in Paris and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol this year. Based on, Chantal Thomas’ novel we have the first stills of the film (from Lumiere via The Playlist) that follows the “first few days of the French Revolution from the perspective of the servants at Versailles.”
Kruger, who plays Marie Antoinette here, has only appeared in one big film following her post-Basterds role with Unknown, but I look forward to her future work, especially with this film. I thought Seydoux was great as an action villain in Ghotocol and excited to see her career rise. Check out the stills below,...
