Afshin for Desert Dancer

Posted: 2 days ago

Type: Film

Location: International

Age: 7 - 7 Years

Availability required: Jun, Jul 2012

 

Summary

This film tells the inspiring true story of Afshin Ghaffarian, a young, self-taught dancer living in Iran. A country where dance performance is strictly forbidden by a brutal regime – despite the country’s rich and beautiful culture.

Risking his life, Afshin started an underground dance company and performed in secret, hundreds of miles outside Tehran in the middle of the desert. Despite the danger, an audience traveled to watch his forbidden performances. He became known as the Desert Dancer.

It stars Reece Ritchie as AFSHIN, Freida Pinto as his muse and dancing partner ELAHEH, and Alfred Molina plays the teacher MEHDI who inspires him to follow his passion.

This is the directorial debut of Richard Raymond (producer of HEARTLESS starring Jim Sturgess, Clemence Poesy, Tim Spall and Noel Clarke) and is being produced by Steve Norris (former British Film Commissioner and exec producer of HARRY BROWN, ME AND ORSON WELLES and HEARTLESS).

Role

 

Jonny (Male, 7 - 11)
We are looking for a young boy he is ostensibly a sweet looking, kind natured only child who is the apple of his parent's eyes. But beneath that exterior is a Machiavellian, cold-hearted, highly intelligent psycopath who is out for revenge. We need a well spoken, confident young actor with a truthful and understated delivery.

Charlie for Melancholia

Posted: 2 days ago

Type: Film

Location: Greater London

Age: 6 - 8 Years

Availability required: Mar 2012

 

Summary

This short film deals with the sensitive subject of Retirement. It captures the life of a retired doctor who experiences psychological confusion following the loss of a very important social role. In order to avoid confronting reality, he retreats into his past memories which provide him comfort and company. He eventually has an interesting encounter with a young child who through his/her innocence introduces him to a new revived meaning of life. The child unconsciously enables Brian to separate from his past and develop a relationship with present rather than the past.

 

Role

 

Charlie (Both, 6 - 8)
Charlie is a young vivacious girl/boy between 6-8 years old. She is trying to help her teachers and friends at school raise some money for charity. Although the project is not essential to participate in, but it means the whole world to this young child. All her friends have come up with different ideas about how to help the charity. Charlie sought help from her mother who cooks delicious fruit chutneys. Her mother suggested that she can request people in the block if they would be keen to donate something for the charity in return for the delicious fruit chutneys. Charlie's world is a child's world where things operate for no reason or logic and emotions float freely. The project has given Charlie with an infantile sense of responsibility and social role for the very first time in her life. Her character is in stark contrast to Brian where emotions appear stifled and there is a sense of doom rather than hope. One morning Charlie sets off to accomplish her task with her fruit chutney jars and she starts by knocking at her next door neighbour, Brian Jones. Brian is a retired doctor who is struggling to come to terms with his retirement. He has got no social contacts in life and now lives a life of a reclusive withdrawn person staying indoors. Charlie's mind is a developing mind and therefore she is always curious about what she sees around. When she meets Brian she becomes curious about his dishevelled state including the torn woollen jumper which no longer fits his body. She comes up with an innocent but thought provoking solution and places some of her saniplast bands onto the torn out areas of Brian's Jumper. Charlie's innocent gesture helps Brian temporarily detach from his memories and the child manages to bring a smile on his face. He eventually agrees to help Charlie with her project and for the very first time in many weeks manages to step out of his flat.
