The Flats, a film about The Troubles in Northern Ireland, won the top award at Cph:dox in Copenhagen at a Friday night, earning a €10,000 prize.
The documentary directed by Alessadra Celisia takes place in “New Lodge in the center of Belfast, a neighborhood still haunted by the nearly 30-year conflict between Catholics and Protestants which officially ended in 1998.”
In their citation, the jury called the film witty, multi-layered, profound and provocative. They wrote, “Our main award recognizes not only creative and conceptual daring, but a filmmaker with the humility to realize when the story outgrows its framework, and the confidence to follow where it, and its fantastically vivid characters lead. We live in a world of divisions, borders and locked gates. Coming like a conversation shouted through one of those locked gates, our winning film is a collective portrait of several proud, funny, resourceful individuals, who would be willing to...

Jordan is raising its cash back rebate for film and TV productions from 20% to 25% after recently hosting Disney’s ‘Aladdin,’ “Star Wars IX, The Rise of Skywalker,” and the Denis Villeneuve-directed “Dune” reboot.
Concurrently, the kingdom, which provides one of the few stable environments for filmmaking in the Middle East, has reinstated the Jordan Film Fund for projects with at least half of the dialogue in Arabic, and is launching a film festival with an industry component.
On May 13, the Jordanian capital of Amman’s Prime Cinemas multiplex hosted the Middle East premiere of “Aladdin,” paying tribute to the fact that the live-action Disney pic was partly shot in the kingdom’s majestic Wadi Rum rock formations, in 2017, with some 150 Jordanian crew and extras working on the production. Director Guy Ritchie and the cast: Will Smith, Naomi Scott and Mena Massoud (pictured) were all in attendance.
