The festival hit Ex-shaman (shown at 7 pm), which won awards at the Berlin Film Festival and Chicago Film Festival, follows the once isolated Amazon tribe Paiter Surui that has been facing assaults of the modern era ever since 1969, when it made first contact with the white man. Smartphones, electricity, fuel tanks, guns and Facebook have now replaced their traditional way of life.
The film is followed by the documentary Dreamers at 9 pm, about the once popular summer resort Sharm El Sheikh, now abandoned to the country’s security and safety issues in recent years. The documentary takes us into the glittering ghost town with its last inhabitants – the resort employees who spend their days in the empty suites dreaming of better days.
