FRIDAY 6/2
Hasan Hadi · Iraq · 2025 · Script: Hasan Hadi · Interpreters: Baneen Ahmad Nayyef, Hundreds Mohamad Qasem, Waheed Thabet Khreibat…
Iraqi director Hasan Hadi's feature debut won the Golden Camera award at the last Cannes festival, something like if he had won the Golden Palm Tree, but for the first movies. The president's cake places us in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, in the middle of the nineties. In this context, little Lamia has been chosen at her school to prepare a cake to celebrate the president's birthday. Accompanied by her friend Saeedf and her inseparable Hindi cock, Lamia will tour Baghdad to find the ingredients. G.LEON
