Mexican film Producer Mariana Méndez Alejandre has boarded Maria Brendle’s Oscar® nominated short film ‘Ala Kachuu – Take and Run’ as a Co-Executive Producer.

Ala Kachuu depicts the Kyrgyz tradition of bride-kidnapping, after which the film is named. Inspired by real events, the film follows a young Kyrgyz woman who dreams of studying in the capital as she is kidnapped and forced to marry a stranger. If she refuses the marriage, she is threatened with social stigmatization and exclusion. Torn between her desire for freedom and the constraints of Kyrgyz culture, she desperately seeks for a way out.

The film has won over 40 awards worldwide and has been shown at several Oscar® qualifying festivals including the 11th BronzeLens Film Festival, the 45th Cleveland International Film Festival (Audience Choice Award for Best Short), the 16th HollyShorts Film Festival and the 38th Flickers’ Rhode Island Film Festival (Marlyn Manson Award 1st prize).

Robin Yacoubian has been the Editor of Flickfeast for more years than he cares to remember. He has always had an appetite for film that borders on unhealthy and outwardly extols the merits or World and Indie cinema, whilst secretly loving nothing better than a good blockbuster If asked what his favourite film was he would always reply "Not the Shawshank Redemption". Not that it is a bad film… far from it... just not his favourite.
