'విమానాలు కనపడకుండా పోతాయి జాగ్రత్త..!'

మధ్యప్రాచ్యంలో ఉద్రిక్త వాతావరణం రోజురోజుకూ పెరిగిపోతోంది. అమెరికా- ఇరాన్ దేశాల మధ్య యుద్ధం జరిగే అవకాశముందనే నిపుణులు హెచ్చరికలతో గల్ఫ్ ప్రాంత ప్రజలు బిక్కుబిక్కుమంటూ జీవిస్తున్నారు. వీటికి తోడు తాజాగా ఆ ప్రాంతంలో ప్రయాణించే విమానాలు కనపడకుండా పోయే ప్రమాదం ఉందని అమెరికా దౌత్యవేత్తలు హెచ్చరించారు. ఈ హెచ్చరికలతో పరిస్థితి మరింత ఉద్రిక్తమైంది.

విమానాలకు హెచ్చరికలు, కంపెనీల సిబ్బంది తరలింపు, సర్వత్రా ఆందోళన... అమెరికా- ఇరాన్ దేశాల మధ్య యుద్ధ మేఘాలు అలుముకున్న నేపథ్యంలో మధ్యప్రాచ్యంలో నెలకొన్న తాజా పరిస్థితులు ఇవి. ఇరు దేశాల మధ్య రోజురోజుకూ సంబంధాలు దెబ్బతింటున్నాయి. యుద్ధం జరిగే అవకాశాలు ఉన్నాయన్న నిపుణుల హెచ్చరికలతో పర్షియన్ గల్ఫ్ ప్రాంత ప్రజలు బిక్కుబిక్కుమని జీవనం సాగిస్తున్నారు.

విమాన సంస్థలు... జాగ్రత్త

పర్షియన్ గల్ఫ్ ప్రాంతంలో ప్రయాణించే విమానాలు కనపడకుండాపోయే అవకాశముందని హెచ్చరించారు అమెరికా దౌత్యవేత్తలు. ఈ హెచ్చరికలు ఇరు దేశాల మధ్య ఉన్న ఉద్రిక్తతను మరింత పెంచాయి. అంతర్జాతీయ విమానాలకు గల్ఫ్ ప్రాంతంలో ప్రమాదం పొంచి ఉందన్న అమెరికా ఫెడరల్ విమానయాన యంత్రాంగం వ్యాఖ్యలకు అగ్రరాజ్య దౌత్యవేత్తల హెచ్చరికలు మరింత బలోపేతం చేకూరుస్తున్నాయి.

'తిరిగి వచ్చేయండి'

యుద్ధ మేఘాలు అలుమకున్న దృష్ట్యా ఇరాన్, ఇరాక్ దేశాల్లోని ప్రముఖ కంపెనీలు తమ సిబ్బందిని ఇతర ప్రాంతాలకు తరలిస్తున్నాయి. ఇరాన్, ఇరాక్లో నివసిస్తున్న బెహ్రయిన్వాసులను ఆ దేశ ప్రభుత్వ వెనక్కి పిలిచింది.

ఇరాన్తో నెలకొన్న ఉద్రిక్తతలపై ఇప్పటికే పలుమార్లు స్పందించారు అమెరికా అధ్యక్షుడు డొనాల్డ్ ట్రంప్. ఇరాన్తో యుద్ధం చేసే యోచన లేదని స్పష్టం చేశారు. యుద్ధం జరిగినా... అగ్రరాజ్యాన్ని ఓడించే సామర్థ్యం తమకుందని ప్రకటించింది ఇరాన్.

"I would say this about the racial issue mostly. I think this is still way too slow and way too rare and that's, and that's not OK. I mean it's great that there's an African film in competition but it's still, I think it's still sad that in 2019 I'm still the first black and I think it's, it really needs to (makes speed up sign with palms), it really needs more people and I'm kind of impatient. Women, I think we have to admit that this year it's, I feel the results, the results of the different a groups of feminist activists who really fight for more equality in these festivals for example and this year, this edition is I think a proof of the evolution.

4 . SOUNDBITE (English) Mati Diop, director on the film's plot:
"I think that she, if Suleyman didn't come back as a ghost, she would probably she would she would be married to Omar. And it was also a way not to sell an image of emancipation as something that happened like (snaps fingers.) Emancipation and saying 'no' to a very collective force is not something easy. And I also wanted to show that Ada needs help from the exterior, from her friends to find the strength to take her fate and to like (makes steering wheel motion). It's a very - because in some films I feel that. I don't like when I feel that a movie's selling me an image of emancipation you know like if it was something cool and easy and that you had to jump on your bed and say 'F**k it' for it to happen. No, it's really a very deep and it can be very deep and slow. "

SOUNDBITE (English) Mati Diop, director, on the films she is competing with:
"When I found out that - I don't know him personally and I haven't seen his film yet. I'm very very very curious and impatient to see Ladj Ly's movie. Really. And I saw that Justine Trier and Celine Sciamma was in competition with me and I mean in the same selection and it really felt I really felt that the programmers, Thierry Fremaux and his team, considered very seriously the situation but also felt they chose films that the interior line is more radical, that the cinema is becoming the first subjects also. And I also felt that maybe it's a bit too idealistic or naïve, but I also felt that the programmers will have less and less choice to take films by woman and from various places because I feel that there will be more and more of them and that's we should not give them the choice. I mean they will, they won't have probably the choice anymore to."

STORYLINE
DIRECTOR MATI DIOP OF 'ATLANTICS' (ATLANTIQUE) DISCUSSES CANNES' LACK OF RACIAL DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY
Mati Diop is one of the four female directors in competition at Cannes this year.
The Senegalese-French filmmaker is also the first black woman filmmaker in competition in the 72 years of the Cannes Film Festival. While she's hopeful things are getting better for some underrepresented voices, she's also thinks the speed is not equal for all, saying:
"I would say this about the racial issue mostly. I think this is still way too slow and way too rare and that's and that's not OK. I mean it's great that there's an African film in competition, but it's still I think it's still sad that in 2019 I'm still the first black (woman) and I think it really needs more people and I'm kind of impatient."
Her film, "Atlantics," is about women left behind in Dakar when many of the local young men flee to Spain by boat. The film is a magical realism drama which sees a bizarre fever spread out in a corner of Dakar after a raft with young men set sail on the ocean and are never heard from again. The protagonist, Ada, is left behind by her love and is promised to another man in marriage. She has to choose what kind of life she'll have after her first love Suleiman's departure.
Diop says that the emancipation of young Ada in a conservative culture is not an easy process and that she wanted to show it as such, explaining:
"I don't like when I feel that a movie's selling me an image of emancipation you know like if it was something cool and easy and that you had to jump on your bed and say 'F**k it' for it to happen. No, it's really a very deep and it can be very deep and slow. "

Diop is vying for Cannes' top award, the Palme d'Or.
