«كان» يواجه معضلة تحسين تمثيل النساء

يواجه مهرجان «كان» السينمائي هذا العام صعوبة في الإيفاء بوعده بلوغ المساواة بين الجنسين في هذا الحدث، فيما يعزوه المنظمون إلى هيمنة الذكور على القطاع السينمائي، حسب وكالة الصحافة الفرنسية. كما حصل في العام الماضي الذي شهد تتويج الفرنسية جوليا دوكورنو بالسعفة الذهبية لتصبح ثاني مخرجة في تاريخ مهرجان «كان» تنال هذه المكافأة الأعلى، فإن نسخة 2022 لا تخلو من المخرجات خصوصاً في الفئات الموازية.
وتضم المنافسة هذا العام خمس مخرجات تضم 21 فيلماً، في مقابل أربع في نسخة 2021، مما يشكل رقماً قياسياً للمهرجان. وستقدم الممثلة والمخرجة فاليريا بروني تيديشي البالغة 57 عاماً فيلمها «Les Amandiers» عن كلية المسرح التي تحمل الاسم عينه. كذلك تنافس المخرجة كلير دوني، 76 عاماً، لحصد الجائزة الكبرى في المهرجان مع فيلمها «ستارز آت نون» الذي تم تصويره في أميركا الوسطى.
وتشارك مخرجة فرنسية أخرى في المنافسة على السعفة الذهبية وهي ليونور سيراي المولودة سنة 1986 بفيلمها الثاني «Un petit frere» الذي يتابع قصة عائلة من المهاجرين من نهاية ثمانينات القرن الماضي حتى أيامنا هذه.
كما ستقدم الأميركية كيلي ريتشارت، 58 عاماً، وهي من الأسماء البارزة في السينما المستقلة، فيلمها «شوينغ آب» عن الحياة اليومية لفنانة تجسد دورها ميشال ويليامز. وتشمل المنافسة أيضاً البلجيكية شارلوت فانديرميرش البالغة 38 عاماً، عن فيلم «Les huit montagnes» الذي شاركت في إخراجه مع فيليكس فان غرونينغن.
أما بالنسبة إلى المهرجانات الكبرى الأخرى، فإن تحقيق المساواة العددية بين الجنسين ليس بالمسألة البدهية أيضاً. ففي سبتمبر (أيلول)، اختار مهرجان البندقية خمسة أفلام تحمل توقيع مخرجات من أصل 21 فيلماً. وحده مهرجان برلين السينمائي الذي حقق أداءً أفضل، إذ ضمت نسخته الأخيرة في فبراير (شباط) 2022، سبعة أفلام في المنافسة من توقيع مخرجات من أصل 18، وأسوةً بما حصل في مهرجان «كان»، فازت امرأتان هما الفرنسية أودري ديوان والإسبانية كارلا سيمون، بالجائزتين الكبريين لهذين المهرجانين. لا يقتصر مهرجان «كان» السينمائي على المسابقة الرسمية. ففي أسبوع النقاد الذي يسلط الضوء على المخرجين الشباب، من بين الأفلام الروائية الأحد عشر المختارة، خمسة هي من إخراج نساء.

Iran said Saturday it had executed a man convicted of a raft of charges including firing a military-grade weapon at police officers during anti-government protests earlier this year.

Siavash Jamshidi was accused of targeting security personnel during mass demonstrations that peaked in January in which thousands of people were killed, said AFP.

Since that time, Iranian authorities have stepped up executions of convicts linked to the unrest.

"Jamshidi was sentenced to death on charges of moharebeh through brandishing and firing a firearm, as well as conspiracy and collusion against national security," Iran's judiciary said, using the legal term moharebeh to mean "waging war against God".

The judiciary's Mizan Online website said he was also found guilty of offences not related to the protests, including "fraud, making threats, theft, possession and carrying of an illegal military-grade weapon".

Other charges included "complicity in kidnapping, brandishing a weapon to intimidate, and intentional infliction of bodily harm".

Mizan said Jamshidi was "active" during the demonstrations, which were sparked in December last year by grievances over living costs in Iran, but peaked on January 8 and 9 with huge rallies.

Iranian authorities reported more than 3,000 deaths in the unrest, attributing the violence to "terrorist acts" orchestrated by the United States and Israel.

Foreign-based NGOs however maintain that Iranian security forces fired on protesters.

US President Donald Trump threatened at the time to intervene militarily in Iran. Weeks later in late February, the United States and Israel launched a joint attack on the Iranian republic, triggering the Middle East war.

Since then, arrests and executions have multiplied in Iran, linked both to the war and the protests.

In 2025, Iran executed at least 1,639 people, the largest number in any year since 1989, according to the NGOs Iran Human Rights and Together Against the Death Penalty.

Pakistan Says Makkah Alliance to Discuss Houthi Attacks at Emergency Riyadh Meeting

The first meeting of the Strategic Political and Defense Committee established under the Makkah Agreement in Istanbul (Saudi Ministry of Defense).

Pakistani Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar announced that the Strategic Political and Defense Committee of the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye will hold an emergency meeting in Riyadh next week to discuss Houthi attacks on the Kingdom.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Dar said the committee would determine the next steps at the meeting, adding that more than six countries had expressed interest in joining the Makkah alliance, according to Reuters.

In a statement carried by Reuters on Friday, the Pakistani military said its senior commanders had strongly condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, expressed solidarity with the Kingdom and reaffirmed their commitment to the security of Islam’s holy sites.

The Makkah Joint Defense Agreement, signed on Aug. 7 by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, stipulates that an armed attack against any one of its signatories shall be considered an attack against all three.

Any joint military response is subject to an assessment by the member states, particularly the country under attack, taking into account the need for such action, the nature and severity of the attack, the level of threat and the contributions required from each party to achieve the intended integration of their efforts.

Istanbul hosted the first meeting of the agreement’s Strategic Political and Defense Committee on Aug. 31, bringing together the foreign and defense ministers and military chiefs of staff of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan.

During the meeting, the three countries reaffirmed their determination to work together under the Makkah agreement to achieve sustainable peace and stability in their region and continue supporting efforts to promote de-escalation and restraint. They encouraged peaceful solutions to crises in line with their commitment to fulfilling their regional responsibilities.

The three countries’ foreign ministers subsequently met in New York on Sept. 24 to review progress toward establishing the agreement’s general secretariat, committees and working groups, as well as preparations for the launch of their activities.

The ministers also condemned attacks targeting Makkah and civilian and economic facilities in Saudi Arabia, stressing the Kingdom’s right to take whatever measures it deemed appropriate to defend its security under Article 51 of the UN Charter.

On Sept. 25, the three countries’ military chiefs of staff met in Riyadh to review the security situation and attacks against Saudi Arabia. They condemned the strikes targeting Makkah and the Kingdom’s civilian and economic infrastructure.

Participants also discussed ways to further strengthen cooperation among their armed forces, develop intelligence cooperation, enhance military coordination and integrate their capabilities to bolster deterrence and collective defense.

The United Arab Emirates Attorney-General said investigations into the incident aboard flydubai flight FZ1073 revealed that the co-pilot attempted to carry out a terrorist act, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported on Saturday.

The co-pilot began executing his plan during the flight, attacking the captain inside the cockpit using a crash axe and attempting to take control of the aircraft, the Attorney-General added.

He assured that investigations are ongoing to establish the full circumstances, motives, and any links related to the incident, as well as to complete technical examinations and analysis of physical and digital evidence.

The final results will be announced upon the conclusion of all necessary procedures, he assured.

The flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv came close to disaster on Wednesday morning when the attacker stabbed the captain.

Passengers told interviewers that the captain, who was seriously wounded, managed to open the cockpit door, allowing a group of passengers and crew members to overpower the attacker. Two reserve pilots who were also on board then managed to regain control of the aircraft, stabilize it, and land safely.
