00:01This animal food bank in Berlin helps pet owners in need.
00:05It has provided them with free food, pet supplies, advice and medical care over the past 10 years.
00:13In the last 10 years, we have had a very big increase in demand,
00:18which is one of the things that more people have come to the need,
00:23but on the other hand, it is also increased costs for animals,
00:28whether it's for the doctor, whether it's for food,
00:31whether it's for food and other things,
00:33and of course also for the living costs for the children and the women themselves.
00:37So if the living costs are expensive and the strom is expensive,
00:39there is just nothing left from the small ones,
00:42and then also for the animals.
00:44Holger is a pensioner.
00:46He often comes with his dog Chanel.
00:48Also, it would be sad if she isn't there anymore,
00:51because we have in the 13 years, in which she is old,
00:54we have done a lot of things.
00:56And she is enjoying it,
00:58when we are with the car on the road,
01:00so that she can look at the window during the drive.
01:03That she does today also do,
01:05but she knows exactly,
01:07there is a window on the window,
01:09and then I can look at the window.
01:14And therefore, it doesn't have to do anything with the animals,
01:17but rather with the animals,
01:19what the animals should get.
01:20But especially on the delivery days,
01:21when the people come here with their dogs,
01:24you have contact with their dogs.
01:26And that is also what the animals do,
01:28that you do both for animals as well as for people.
01:31For some, their pets are just as important as members of family.
01:35For me, it is very important to have a dog,
01:39because a dog is something like a family member, a friend, a friend, a friend.
01:47It is always together with one.
01:50And a dog is honest.
01:53A dog can't lie to you.
01:55Some users have come back to offer a helping hand.
01:58Very important.
01:59Very important.
02:00Very important.
02:01Actually, they are more important than everything else.
02:06I made a Stapler-Schein.
02:07And I had the lucky,
02:09that I had to find work.
02:11And I am also grateful for the Tiertas.
02:14That's why I come here at the end of the week.
02:16I help with them.
02:18I would live in a perfect world.
02:23There would be no need for help.
02:26And so a place like ours would be not necessary.
02:29That's not the case.
02:30What could possibly be done politically,
02:32is that there is a rule in the citizens' money,
02:35in the Socialhilfe,
02:36to protect animals,
02:38so that the need for people,
02:41who are sick,
02:42they need a dog,
02:43to not go further away.
02:46and that the animals are not a thing,
02:49but that they are feeling beings
02:50and that they are worthy members of our society.
02:54The Berlin Tier Tafel finances itself
02:56through donations, sponsorship,
02:58and a huge army of volunteers.
03:16You never really set out to be the first in anything.
03:20And we certainly weren't aware,
03:22that it would be the first Nigerian film in selection.
03:24I think there's been Nigerian film to Cannes before,
03:26but obviously not in selection.
03:28So the experience was pretty overwhelming,
03:33but like in the best way.
03:34I think it's incredible to show work in a place that's full of cinephiles,
03:42people who sort of love the craft,
03:44and a place that has like such massive prestige.
03:48It being the first Nigerian film, being in Cannes,
03:50Nigerians have really sort of like caught on to that.
03:53And representing Nigeria to me is like a real badge of honour.
03:57I am extremely proud to be Nigerian,
04:01proud to be African in general.
04:03And I think that our stories are incredibly universal,
04:07but I think there's probably become an increasing market for us,
04:11for nuanced versions of our stories
04:13to travel across the world, basically.
04:18You know what?
04:19Go and wear your clothes.
04:21You are following me to Lagos today.
04:23But mommy said you shouldn't leave the house.
04:27Then we should wait for her.
04:29And why don't you stay and wait for her?
04:31You can tell her I went with daddy to Lagos,
04:33but she puts you in charge.
04:35Hopefully your mommy comes back before we go,
04:38but otherwise we just have to leave message for her.
04:45Go now. Sharp, sharp. I don't have time.
04:48My Father's Shadow is a film about fatherhood.
04:55It's about nationhood.
04:56It's about brotherhood.
04:58These two brothers spending the gift of the day with their father,
05:02who they don't regularly see.
05:04He takes them around Lagos to see the sort of struggles
05:09that he has to go through to provide for his family.
05:12They question his sort of absence and hold into account.
05:16But on that given day that they are spending together,
05:19there is a big election result that gets announced
05:21and he has to get them back home.
05:23I was in Nigeria during that period.
05:26And so it was my brother.
05:27And we evidently knew that something was going on
05:30from the responses of like my mother and uncles and other family.
05:35You know, we're probably a bit too young to understand the politics of it at the time.
05:39But I think in our research, we realized that it was quite a pivotal moment,
05:43formative moment in the country's history,
05:46something that maybe hasn't particularly been well documented,
05:50maybe up until now.
05:51And also just like a really important story to sort of tell
05:56because Nigeria, I think, has a big part to play in the sort of growth
06:02and development of Africa in general and even the world in general.
06:06And I think, you know, to a certain extent, it hasn't quite fulfilled that potential yet.
06:11It's had, you know, like shimmering moments of being able to do that.
06:15But I think in order to really sort of shift the dial and move things forward,
06:21we have to be able to tell our own stories in a way that's nuanced for us
06:28as opposed to like an outside perspective.
06:33So I think, I think 1993 holds a lot in terms of Nigerian,
06:40contemporary Nigerian history.
06:42And I think it's important to know what happened and who was around in that period for sure.
06:47Why are you taking that? All your business.
06:59I shoot a lot on film.
07:04I love the pace of shooting on film.
07:08I love the imperfections of shooting on film.
07:12I think it's a very generous way to work making a film
07:16because you get to spend more time with your cast and crew and you get to rehearse.
07:19Two of my three leads had never been in a film before.
07:22And I didn't think, I didn't want to put them in an environment where we can nitpick their performance.
07:27It was challenging to say the least because there's no labs on the continent.
07:32So we had to, we had to do like a shuttle of things going back and forth.
07:36So we wouldn't see the rushes for almost a week.
07:40So we couldn't strike sets for a week.
07:42But thematically, we were shooting a period film.
07:46So shooting on film really helped.
07:48But politically, I'd probably say I wanted to see the Lagos I grew up in on the most beautiful medium, in my opinion.
07:56And I don't think I had been exposed to a lot of that in my youth.
08:00So in as much as possible, when I shoot in Nigeria, I want to shoot on film because I think Nigeria and Lagos is incredibly cinematic.
08:07And it deserves to be on celluloid.
08:10Yes, daddy!
08:14Hopefully my father's shadow is like breaking ground for next generation of filmmakers to see that it's possible to do it.
08:21You know, obviously like I come with a certain level of privilege.
08:24I was born in the UK.
08:25My film's financed in the UK predominantly, but obviously, and co-produced by a Nigerian production company, Nigerian talent, Nigerian crew.
08:36So there's a lot of collaboration in there.
08:39But obviously, you know, I have to also say that it comes in a certain level of privilege, you know, having Mubi, Element, Match Factory, Fremantle, BBC, BFI all involved.
08:52You know, that might not be the case for every filmmaker.
08:55But I think, you know, I want to acknowledge that and say that there is a way to sort of get to this point.
09:02But obviously, it takes a lot of collaboration, a lot of forward thinking and a lot of groundwork.
09:09I think Lollywood is like incredibly rich.
09:11It's got a beautiful tapestry in terms of storytelling, in terms of creative, in terms of technical prowess, crews and actors.
09:19And it's something I wear even more as a badge of honour in terms of representing because I think it's also a young fledgling industry.
09:30Maybe now there's a commercial necessity in Lollywood, but hopefully films like mine start to branch out to create more space for art house sort of narratives, more dramas, more nuanced dramas.
09:44And evidently, the audiences are quite interested in that.
09:54The Paris skies are once again buzzing.
09:57With 2,400 exhibitors from 48 countries and 300,000 expected visitors, the Paris Air Show, the world's largest aerospace event, is back in full force.
10:13But this year, it's not fighter jets grabbing all the attention.
10:18Drones and artificial intelligence are rewriting the rules of modern warfare.
10:23With tensions erupting between Israel and Iran and Russia's war in Ukraine stretching into its fourth year, Europe is racing to rearm and fast.
10:34In a landmark announcement, Italy's Leonardo and Turkey's Bicar launched a joint venture on Monday to develop the next generation drone due in 2026.
10:47Europe in the unmanaged systems is quite behind.
10:52So, first of all, I think the target is to fill the gap.
10:57Having the possibility to develop different platforms with different payloads and different way to take off, different capability, mission capability, and to offer them to different countries, different states in Europe.
11:08That will be already a very important target in the short to mid-term.
11:13Combat lessons from Ukraine are reshaping European strategy.
11:18The EU wants full sovereignty and faster as well as cheaper production.
11:23So, this industrial cooperation, Italy-Turkey, is not a new thing.
11:28And the fact of being able to produce in Europe 100% sovereign drones from Turkish experience with industrialization and Italian quality,
11:36is obviously a good thing for the European defense.
11:38With drones reshaping modern warfare, Europe is racing not to be left behind.
11:43The EU is at 150.
11:45The EU's at 150.
11:46The EU rules are not to be left behind.
11:47The EU rules are not to be left behind and a better to trade off and action.
11:48The EU rules are not to be left behind.
