CINECITY Brighton Film Festival 2012

THE BRIGHTON FILM FESTIVAL

SPONSORED BY

CINE-CITY.CO.UK

Since 2003 CINECITY have presented screenings and special events that have taken place outside of the cinema; from old police cells and hotels, swimming pools and former chapels of rest to coach trips, garden sheds and people’s living rooms. This year we present 3 ‘pop-ups’: The Royal Pavilion, Brighton’s royal pleasure palace, becomes a picturehouse for one night only with Stanley Kubrick’s BARRY LYNDON screening in the sumptuous Music Room. We return to The Basement – home to our first ever popup cinema in 2005 – for a weekend of new music films and documentaries and the University of Brighton Gallery is transformed into both an Artists’ Cinema and Cinema Bookshop.

Welcome to the 10th edition of CINECITY. To mark a decade of the festival, we are delighted to present a range of film screenings and special events in more than 10 venues across the city.

Once again CINECITY gives you first sight of highly-anticipated, awardwinning titles ahead of release and showcase many others brought to Brighton from around the world for one-off screenings.

Taking film out of the cinema reflects a wider trend for the pop-up and site-specific but for us, initially at least, it was also something borne of necessity - the lack of cinema screens devoted to arthouse, foreign language and independent film. Now after 102 years operation as a single screen cinema, the Duke of York’s is expanding with two new screens at Komedia, opening in December. Though this year’s festival comes just too soon to use the new space, this is a very exciting development for cinemagoers in the city.

CINECITY would like to thank our funders and sponsors, the film-makers and distributors, venues and volunteers who have made this year’s festival possible.

Please visit www.cine-city.co.uk to keep fully up to date with the programme and the latest information on visiting film-makers.

CINECITY is presented in partnership with the Duke of York’s Picturehouse and Screen Archive South East at the University of Brighton.

A love of cinema, cinephilia, involves more than just watching films; it embraces a wider culture of cinema, whether it is reading, writing, discussing or blogging. As a special project for our 10th edition, we open a pop-up Cinema Bookshop, stocking a wide range of new and used film books. The space also hosts a display of material relating to a decade of CINECITY. In the first ever CINECITY back in 2003, we marked the 80th year of Brighton’s own Jeff Keen, one of the great figures of the British post-war avant-garde. To complement the major exhibition, SHOOT THE WRX at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, there is a range of screenings and events across the city devoted to the “Peckinpah of the South Downs”.

With the Jeff Keen retrospective, a decade of CINECITY to look back on and the imminent new cinema screens, there is a sense of the past, present and future co-mingling throughout this year’s programme. CINECITY have always championed the directorial debut and this year we present around twenty first features. Our emphasis on debuts highlights cinema’s constant re-invention and the importance of new beginnings; the future of cinema continues to burn brightly.

Supported by Arts Council England, Brighton & Hove City Council, Creative England / British Film Institute and the University of Brighton.

OPENING NIGHT FILM Thursday 15 November

Martin McDonagh’s eagerly awaited follow-up to IN BRUGES is a quick-witted, not-for-the-squeamish, boisterous black comedy, packed with acting talent.

Alcoholic screenwriter Marty (Colin Farrell) is struggling to depart from the first line of his script; EXT: LOS ANGELES STREET CORNER. DAY. His best friend Billy – an excellent comic turn from Sam Rockwell – is keen to collaborate on a script called Seven Psychopaths, but it’s his dog-napping business that takes centre stage. Working with partner Hans (Christopher Walken on great form) they steal pet dogs and then scoop the reward upon ‘finding’ them, but Billy gets out of his depth when he pinches a shih tzu belonging to gangster Charlie (Woody Harrelson).

Billy and Hans swiftly become entangled in the LA criminal fraternity, dragging Marty into their bizarre and increasingly violent world.

The memorable performances from a great cast are enhanced with cameos from Tom Waits and Harry Dean Stanton and, with writer/director McDonagh’s dark and snappy dialogue, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS feels destined to be a cult classic.

THE CINÉ-NOVELLA FILM LOOP

NORTH GALLERY, UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON | £6 / £4 (ON DOOR ONLY) | 12PM - 8PM (SAT 11AM - 7PM)

What happens to the many narrative fiction films, made throughout the history of cinema, that have fallen outside the usual conventions of theatrical exhibition, or have not been selected for film festivals purely due to their length, irrespective of their quality or content?

These films are rarely screened to audiences, and so have limited opportunity to engage viewers and achieve their artistic ambitions. They are unfairly neglected, essentially orphaned; consigned to archives in national film institutes unable to promote these works effectively, or sometimes added as DVD extra bonus features, ‘fillers’ rather than works of quality in their own right.

The ciné-novella film loop is the pilot programme of a major new initiative devoted to the international medium-length fiction film; it seeks to promote and present work between 40 and 70 minutes long, perfectly fine films that happen to fall between these shores of festival selection and cinema distribution, presenting a rare chance for audiences to discover these films.

This 14-hour programme will present a wide range of excellent international medium-length films from the last ten years, to coincide with CINECITY’s tenth edition. The entire programme of 16 films will screen twice over the course of four days in the North Gallery, specially transformed into a dedicated cinema space.

It will interrogate the arbitrary industrial constraints of distribution and exhibition – arguing that audiences certainly exist for a mode of cinema that is unfairly forced into ghettos of peripheral programming – and present these diverse films in an innovative way that will demonstrate their power and value.

It is also a semantic provocation: rather than describing these films as ‘medium-length’, ie in terms of what they are not – too long to be described as ‘short’; too short to be presented as ‘features’ – these films deserve a qualification that more accurately reflects what they are, or what they could be; so, just as there is a qualitative difference between a short story, a novella and a novel, so there is between a short film, a ciné-novella and a feature film.

Films featured in the programme include Guy Maddin’s sublime masterpiece COWARDS BEND THE KNEE (Canada, 2003), Manoel de Oliveira’s wonderful ECCENTRICITIES OF A BLOND-HAIRED GIRL (Portugal, 2009), Mikhaël Hers’ romantic MONTPARNASSE (France, 2010), Rolf van Eijk’s award-winning INSIDE (Netherlands, 2011), John Hellberg’s robbery-gone-wrong MOUSSE (Sweden, 2012) and the world premiere of Radu Jude’s incredible A FILM FOR FRIENDS (Romania, 2012), plus many others, from straight linear narratives to elliptical dreamscapes; from light comedy to mock-documentary.

The ciné-novella film loop is guest programmed by Yoram Allon of Cinéphilia Services. Further details about the various initiatives of the ciné-novella film project are available at www.cine-novella.com.

DUKE OF YORK’S | FRI 16 NOV | 6.00PM

DIR: BEN WHEATLEY. WITH: ALICE LOWE, STEVE ORAM. UK 2012. 88MINS.

SIGHTSEERS

15

A bloody and pitch-black comedy about two holidaymakers whose caravanning trip takes a very wrong turn from the director of DOWN TERRACE and KILL LIST. Tina and Chris, a couple from the Midlands, plan a romantic getaway to such tourist hotspots as Ribblehead Viaduct, the National Tramway Museum in Cric and Keswick Pencil Museum. However Chris’ intolerance for mildly antisocial behaviour swiftly turns to murder. Like a delirious cross between The League of Gentlemen and Nuts in May, SIGHTSEERS was co-scripted by its lead players Alice Lowe (Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place) and Steve Oram (The Mighty Boosh) and produced by SHAUN OF THE DEAD writer and director Edgar Wright.

After DOWN TERRACE (screened in CINECITY 2009) and KILL LIST, SIGHTSEERS confirms Brighton-based Ben Wheatley as one of British cinema’s most original talents.

Followed by Q&A with director Ben Wheatley.

Friday 16 November ONE INCH BADGE AND CINECITY PRESENTS DIR: PENNY WOOLCOCK. UK 2012. 74MINS. A portrait of the British coastline and the role it has played in our lives - during wartime, on our holidays and as a hive of activity during the industrial age.

Penny Woolcock’s film, made from over 100 years of BFI archive footage, is accompanied by a new live musical score composed and performed by BRITISH SEA POWER.

FROM THE SEA TO THE LAND BEYOND BRITISH SEA POWER LIVE SCORE

PG

A meditation on the British coastline – from remote Scottish isles to busy family seaside holiday towns, from seaports to rugged cliffs, from hard working fishing villages to brightly coloured illuminations, fairs, piers and pavilions – FROM THE SEA TO THE LAND BEYOND celebrates this island’s identity and the evocative, nostalgic place the coast often has in our hearts.

Saturday 17 November

DUKE OF YORK’S | SAT 17 NOV | 6.00PM

DIR: JAKE SCHREIER. WITH: FRANK LANGELLA, SUSAN SARANDON, JAMES MARSDEN. USA 2011. 89MINS. Frank Langella (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE) is the eponymous hero in this odd-couple heist comedy with Peter Sarsgaard providing the smooth voice of the robot. A Sundance winner, first-time director Jake Schreier and writer Christopher D. Ford perceptively explore the power of memory and just what it means to lose it.

ROBOT AND FRANK DEBUT

Septuagenarian Frank seems unable to develop a caring connection with his children, Hunter (James Marsden) and Madison (Liv Tyler); two prison stints for his antics as a high-end jewel thief and a fading memory don’t help. Worried about Frank’s ability to look after himself, Hunter buys him a robot butler to nurse, serve him and act as a companion in his solitude. While Frank grouchily responds to Hunter’s gift, when developers threaten the future of the local library where the object of his affection, Jennifer (Susan Sarandon) works, Frank hatches a cunning plan.

SAVAGE WITCHES DIR: DANIEL FAWCETT AND CLARA PAIS. WITH: CHRISTINA WOOD, VICTORIA SMITH. UK 2012. 70MINS.

DIR: KIM NGUYEN. CAST: RACHEL MWANZA, ALAIN LINO MIC ELI BASTIEN, SERGE KANYINDA. CANADA 2012. FRENCH, LINGALA WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES. 90MINS. Rachel Mwanza won the best actress award at Berlin for this role as Komona, a child soldier in the Congo.

She tells her story to her unborn child: how she was abducted and forced to commit atrocities, became a sorceress and fell in love with an albino. How she could see ghosts who helped her survive the battlefield. Despite the harrowing subject matter this is a fairytale about love and finding inner peace; a challenging, intelligent, multifaceted film. Winner of the Audience Award at the recent Cambridge Film Festival.

DUKE OF YORK’S | SUN 18 NOV | 12.30PM

A playful experimental film about two teenage girls who want nothing but to play games, dress up and have adventures, but when they find themselves in conflict with the world around them, they set out to transform it and break free. When they are confronted with reality, it becomes clear that there is a vast gap between what they say they want and what they really want. SAVAGE WITCHES is a colourful collage of sounds and images that has been created using all manner of processes and formats from VHS and Super 8 to drawn animation and hand-coloured frames, resulting in a bold and expressionistic exploration of the art of cinema.

WAR WITCH (REBELLE)

DIR: THOMAS VINTERBERG. WITH MADS MIKKELSEN, THOMAS BO LARSEN, ANNIKA WEDDERKOPP. DENMARK 2012. 111MINS. DANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES. Making a highly anticipated return, Thomas Vinterberg, director of FESTEN, scooped 3 prizes at Cannes with this thrilling psychological drama.

THE HUNT

15

(JAGTEN)

DUKE OF YORK’S | SUN 18 NOV | 6.30PM

Mads Mikkelsen, winner of the Best Actor award is outstanding as kindergarten teacher, Lucas, a wellliked member of the local community who comes under scrutiny after an accusation is made against him by a little girl at school. Vinterberg explores what happens when a seed of suspicion is planted and collective hysteria and mob mentality ensues.

Generating a heady collision of emotions, this is masterful film-making, full of tension and intelligence.

DIR: STANLEY KUBRICK. RYAN O’NEAL, MARISA BERENSON, PATRICK MAGEE, HARDY KRÜGER, STEVEN BERKOFF. UK 1975. 184MINS. The Music Room of Brighton’s royal pleasure palace is turned into a picturehouse for Kubrick’s Oscarwinning adaptation of Thackeray’s literary classic. The splendour of the Pavilion makes a particularly fitting backdrop for this breathtaking epic following the picaresque adventures of its roguish hero as he cuts a swathe through 18th century society.

One of the most beautiful films ever shot, the reputation of Kubrick’s audacious and fascinating work has steadily grown; though not an immediate commercial or critical success on its release it is now recognised as one of the best films of all time.

BARRY LYNDON

The Pavilion’s Music Room was where George IV’s own band used to entertain guests with Handel or Italian opera. While Handel’s stately Sarabande is the piece of music most associated with BARRY LYNDON, the soundtrack as a whole reflects Kubrick’s passion for classical music and features works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Vivaldi, Giovanni Paisiello, Mozart and Schubert.

Monday 19 November DIR: HIROKAZU KORE-EDA. WITH: KOKI MAEDA, OSHIRO MAEDA, NENE OHTSUKA, JOE ODAGIRI, JAPAN 2011. 128MINS. From the masterly Japanese director of AFTER LIFE, STILL WALKING and NOBODY KNOWS, a charming and tender tale of two young brothers attempting to re-unite their family.

When their parents divorced, brothers Koichi and Ryu (real-life brothers Koki and Oshiro Maeda) were separated along with them: Koichi, the older lives with his mother at his grandparents’ in Kagoshima, the younger Ryu lives with his struggling musician father in Fukuoka. The two brothers hatch a plan trusting that a wish, made at exactly the place and moment that two new bullet trains pass each other, will come true.

I WISH (KISEKI)

Hirokazu Kore-eda’s films have often been moving, delicate studies of people dealing with daily life; I WISH is right up there with the best of them. The child’s eye view of the two boys avoids sentimentality and the brothers Maeda, a real-life comedy duo, are absolutely brilliant at the heart of the film.

BIG SCREEN KEEN

FREE

A rare opportunity to see Jeff Keen’s films on 35mm prints on the big screen. Features four key films: CINEBLATZ (1967), MEATDAZE (1968) and THE CARTOON THEATRE OF DR GAZ (1976-1979) and his delirious homage to screen history – MAD LOVE (1972-1978).

DUKE OF YORK’S | TUE 20 NOV | 7.30PM

Hemel (the Dutch word for heaven) has an unconventional life-style. She is young, beautiful and in her father’s eyes the most precious thing on earth.

She is also wild, sadistic, masochistic. She frequently goes clubbing, risks her life sleeping with dubious strangers and has an unhealthy admiration for her womanising dad, Gijs. When Gijs finally finds his partner for life, Hemel goes through a personal hell, and a time of loss and self-discovery lies ahead for the rebel. This absorbing, fresh portrait of a young woman living a life without boundaries and a never ending hunger for sex and attention is not simply provoking – it is done with tenderness, humour and a fine cinematographic eye. Lauded as a female answer to SHAME, HEMEL received the critic’s FIPRESCI award at the Berlin Film Festival.

DEBUT

HEMEL

Wednesday 21 November DIR: SCOTT GRAHAM. WITH: CHLOE PIRRIE, JOSEPH MAWLE, IAIN DE CAESTECKER. UK 2012. 90MINS.

DEBUT

SHELL

Shell (Chloe Pirrie) is a 17-year-old woman living and working at a remote petrol station in the Scottish Highlands with her father Pete (Joseph Mawle).

Shell’s mother deserted them years before, leaving Pete to bring up their daughter on his own. Shell’s devotion to her father, their physical isolation and reliance on each other, triggers confused emotions.

Scott Graham’s powerful debut feature is an engrossing study of physical and emotional isolation and heralds the arrival of a distinctive new voice in British cinema with Chloe Pirrie’s terrific performance as the lead character, providing the film with its beating heart.

DUKE OF YORK’S | WED 21 NOV | 6.30PM

THE PAPER CINEMA’S ODYSSEY How do you transform a suitcase full of paper cutouts into an almighty quest of the imagination?

The Paper Cinema’s latest show reimagines Odysseus’ epic journey after the Trojan War as he battles high seas, raging storms and supernatural forces to get home.

Told with their trademark mix of cinematic projection, beautiful illustration, masterful puppetry and cunning trickery, the company conjures a delightfully lo-fi adventure, played out to a stirring live score.

3D

THE UNTRUE STORY OF MONTY PYTHON’S GRAHAM CHAPMAN 15 DIR: BILL JONES, JEFF SIMPSON AND BEN TIMLETT. VOICES: GRAHAM CHAPMAN, JOHN CLEESE, TERRY JONES. UK 2012. 82MINS.

Utilising a wide variety of animation styles, this 3D film of Graham Chapman’s life story is bursting with laughs and surreal silliness. A lively and ambitious tribute to “the dead one” as he is irreverently called, it features audio recordings made by Chapman of his own fictional memoir, A Liar’s Autobiography Vol VI, with his fellow Pythons providing the voice cast.

DEBUT

Chapman’s fantastic tales and flights of fancy are underpinned chronologically by a thin thread of truth; the start of his friendship with John Cleese at Cambridge, meeting life partner David Sherlock, his years in Monty Python and coming out on TV. An inventive, outrageous piece of nonsense, this is the perfect salute to a legendary comic.

Friday 23 November DIR: JAMEL MOKNI. TUNISIA 2011. 60MINS. The surgical reconstruction of the hymen, hymenorrhaphy, is an increasingly common practice in Tunisia. In a country considered a model for the rest of the Arab-Muslim world on how to modernise, it is still essential for a bride to be a virgin on her wedding day. Belgian-Tunisian director Jamel Mokni conducts interviews with various groups in Tunisia, including women who lost their virginity, a hymen reconstruction surgeon, young people, activists and intellectuals, offering a multitude of perspectives on this sensitive topic.

DIR: DUSTIN HOFFMAN. WITH: MAGGIE SMITH, TOM COURTENAY, PAULINE COLLINS, BILLY CONNOLLY, MICHAEL GAMBON. UK 2012. 90MINS.

With Ronald Harwood’s highly entertaining screenplay, Dustin Hoffman delivers this charming and playful drama with a sensitive touch, enticing great performances from the ensemble cast.

DUKE OF YORK’S | FRI 23 NOV | 6.00PM

Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut features a stellar cast as a group of friends living in a retirement home for opera singers; Beecham House dazzles with opulence, and the tight-knit group perform an annual concert to celebrate Verdi’s birthday and raise funds for their country house residence. When former diva, Jean (Maggie Smith) arrives it fires up old tensions – she broke the heart of ex-husband Reggie (Tom Courtenay) - and the future of the show is put in jeopardy.

Near the port of Antwerp lies Doel, a village about to be razed to make way for an expansion of the harbour. While Doel slowly dies, Emilienne Driesen, an elderly widow stolidly refuses to leave the only house she’s ever known.

AN ANGEL IN DOEL

Starkly, beautifully filmed in black and white over six years, life seems to be carrying on as normal around Emilienne’s kitchen table. But when her friends leave, the village priest dies and the demolition begins, her last stand is a way of making sure that, at least, her lost home will be remembered.

COBRA WOMAN was one of Keen’s favourite feature films; a South Sea adventure that has acquired cult status because of its exaggerated and fantastic nature. Described as a ‘camp classic’, it forms a Double Bill with Keen’s WHITE DUST, his love letter to Hollywood serials where narrative fragments begin journeys that are never finished.

DIR: SARA BROOS. WITH LARS LERIN, MANOEL MARQUES. SWEDEN 2012. 74MINS. SWEDISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.

The Mumbai International Queer Film Festival began in 2010 - the first officially recognised LGBTQ film festival in India and a landmark for South Asian queer culture. Aiming to promote visibility for Indian LGBTQ communities, to explore complex realities and to celebrate Indian queer life, the festival screens films by new Indian film-makers alongside the latest queer films from around the world.

Festival director Sridhar Rangayan has curated a programme that presents a snapshot of the vibrant queer cinema emerging in India.

An intimate and sensitively filmed love story between one of Scandinavia’s most highly regarded modern painters and a young Brazilian dancer. Desperately searching for true love, they meet on Skype but though they can’t communicate in any language, decide to meet and try to fall in love. This is the beginning of an unpredictable love story, humorous and warm but with undertones of control and domination. An awardwinning documentary about the search for a life where someone loves you – regardless of how difficult it can be to love one self.

MIX NYC QUEER CLASSICS MIX NYC has been at the forefront of LGBTQ film experimentation and this programme brings together a heady array of queer classics. From Marguerite Paris’s exploration of transgender experience to Karim Aïnouz’s melancholy view of gay life and death in Brazil, we encounter an international history of queer lives. Peggy Ahwesh’s feminist encounter with an old stag film and Lewis Klahr’s animated reimagining of Superman’s Jimmy Olsen demonstrate the queer imaginary at work, appropriating and transforming pop culture in surprising and sometimes moving ways.

MIX NYC NEW FILM AND VIDEO Drawn from the more recent years of MIX, this programme of short queer works ranges from exuberant celebration of New York’s sexual energy to culture jamming riffs of the War on Terror. There’s a shift in recent queer experimental work from film to video, or to a dizzy mixture of formats and styles. These films investigate pop culture and politics with a youthful flair, exploring new identities while insisting on retaining an outsider status.

Designer and Brighton Swimming Club member Paul Farrington discovered 23 reels of 16mm film hidden away in Roger’s garden shed. The films capture the antics of Brighton Swimming Club and life in Brighton, from filming Campbell’s liner at the West Pier and frolicking at the lido at Black Rock.

HIT SO HARD

THE BASEMENT | SAT 24 NOV | 5PM DIR: P. DAVID EBERSOLE. WITH: PATTY SCHEMEL, COURTNEY LOVE, ERIC ERLANDSON. US 2011. 103MINS. HIT SO HARD follows the journey of Patty Schemel, the openly gay drummer of Courtney Love’s seminal rock band Hole. As a young girl who always felt different from the other kids in her hometown outside of Seattle, Patty never dreamed she would one day be on the cover of Rolling Stone or that, due to drug addiction, she could lose it all. Just three years after Nirvana burst onto the scene, the drug-related deaths of several musicians and the suicide of Kurt Cobain closed the book on an all too brief era. Built around over 40 hours of never-before-seen home movie footage taken by Schemel around the time of the band’s acclaimed 1994-95 Live Through This world tour, her personal story is candidly shared in the intimate documentary.

DEBUT

ART WILL SAVE THE WORLD12A THE BASEMENT | SAT 24 NOV | 7PM DIR: NIALL MCCANN. IRELAND 2011. 70MINS. Luke Haines is regularly described as one of the greatest English contemporary songwriters. He is also frequently dubbed the perennial outsider of the British music scene (which rather recalls the Groucho Marx quote about not wanting to belong to a club that would accept people like him as a member). In his 2009 book Bad Vibes: Britpop And My Part In Its Downfall, Haines’ contemporaries were not spared his vitriol: Brett Anderson of Suede’s “pseudo-bumboy androgyny is more Grange Hill than Bowie”, Oasis are dismissed as “light entertainment” and 1990s Blur labelled “a masterclass in media complicity”.

This engaging romp through the life and music of the man behind The Auteurs, Black Box Recorder and Baader Meinhof makes it clear there is much more to Haines than slagging off his peers though there are plenty of droll one-liners. With contributions from Jarvis Cocker, novelists David Peace and Stewart Home plus the “unreliable narrator” Haines himself, it is the sheer quality of his songwriting that resonates long after the end credits.

Followed by Q&A with director Niall McCann and Luke Haines.

He played with the cream of jazz musicians, including Ronnie Scott, Stan Tracey and Charlie Watts and received critical acclaim for his intense and haunting performances on the seminal track Starless and Bible Black. Yet Wellins struggled to overcome addiction and depression. Ten years of silence followed, before he began to rediscover the desire to play, and self-belief in his ability. This documentary includes rare concert footage and interviews with family members, musicians and Wellins himself. His honesty, warmth and humour provides a compelling insight into the world of a musical survivor.

Followed by Q&A with Bobby Wellins.

A charming portrait of a Danish woman, who discovered music at the tender age of 70. An “outsider musician” Níelsdóttir uses a simple electronic keyboard and then creatively layers her cheerfully eccentric compositions with sound effects that she makes using common household and kitchen items.

Her unlikely cult following includes Björk and Sigur Rós and her boundless creativity provides inspiration to younger Icelandic musicians.

The final three films in their series of 14, made by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, commissioned by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds to accompany the comprehensive re-issue of the band’s influential catalogue. Each 40 minute film features a compelling collage of famous and unknown individuals talking directly to camera about what the music means to them. The result is a determinedly human portrait of a unique body of work, told through those who have lived and loved the music, including close collaborators and current and former Bad Seeds.

FREE In partnership with The Basement, CINECITY presents a series of stills from one of the key scenes in Brighton’s cinematic history – Fred Hale’s run to the Palace Pier in BRIGHTON ROCK, made in 1947 by the Boulting Brothers. Shot by Harry Waxman using hidden cameras, the real and fictional collide as Brightonians are captured going about their business as Fred runs for his life through the city.

These still images from the classic 1947 film noir, place the extras and bystanders centre stage and reveal hidden details behind one of the country’s best loved crime thrillers, the film that put Brighton on the movie map.

JUBILEE SQUARE | 6 NOV – 7 DEC

BRIGHTON ROCK UNSEEN

This year CINECITY, in association with Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, Lighthouse and Stella Keen, is pleased to present a series of events and activities associated with the work of Jeff Keen (1923-2012).

Keen was one of the great figures of the British post-war avant-garde and his work embodies a wild spirit of anarchic play, a fascination with surrealism and a love of popular culture. He began to make films around 1960 and for the next forty years he made over fifty films as well as drawings, paintings and sculptures.

Jeff Keen passed away earlier this year and this is our commemoration of his fascinating artistic life.

It is a South Sea adventure film that has acquired cult status because of its exaggerated and fantastic nature. Described as a ‘camp classic’, it is paired with Keen’s WHITE DUST (1972) – his love letter to Hollywood serials where narrative fragments begin journeys that are never finished.

JEFF KEEN - HERO / ANTI-HERO Wed 28 Nov | 7pm (6.30pm bar and doors) Lighthouse Booking: £3 on the door or in advance www.lighthouse.org.uk From the early 1990s and in collaboration with editor Damian Toal, Keen began experimenting with video and computer technology. One of the key themes of this work was the exploration of the true or authentic self through characters such as Dr. Gaz (the ‘mad scientist’), Plasticator (his Terminator-styled art assassin) and the archetypal classical hero / antihero figures as found in films such as BLATZOM and OMOZAP. Presented by Damian Toal.

JEFF KEEN – HERALD OF THE MESSAGE Thurs 29 Nov | 7pm (6.30pm bar and doors) Lighthouse Booking: £3 on the door or in advance: www.lighthouse.org.uk Throughout Keen’s work, one of the central motifs is the literal and self-conscious representation of the artist as actor, provocateur, catalyst, broadcaster, creator and destroyer. Much of the video work of the 1990s presents an often literal representation of his creative process through the acts of filming, performance, painting and drawing. The action is immediate, direct, playful and bold. Presented by Damian Toal.

THE LIFE AND WORK OF JEFF KEEN - STELLA KEEN Catalyst Club Film Special Latest Musicbar Thurs 29 Nov | 8pm As part of a special Catalyst Club for CINECITY, Stella Keen will be discussing the many cinematic references and influences in her father Jeff Keen’s work from Russian avant-garde Constructivism to the glorious depths of B-movies and beyond.

POP-UP READING ROOM AND CINEMA BOOKSHOP SOUTH GALLERY UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON Fri 16 Nov – Sat 1 Dec 11am-8pm (Sat 11am-7pm and closed Sun)

THE ARTISTS’CINEMA NORTH GALLERY UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON Since the first festival in 2003, CINECITY has reflected the explosion in Artists’ Cinema and moving image work with an expanding strand dedicated to this exciting area of contemporary art.

THE ARTISTS’ CINEMA presents a mix of free looping installations during the day complemented by a series of evening screenings; there is a blend of past and present as we revisit some key films and artists we have worked with over the last decade, coupled with a selection of new work that reflects the diversity of contemporary artists’ moving image.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

In association with Wallflower Press, CINECITY opens a pop-up Cinema Bookshop for the duration of this year’s festival, stocking a range of new titles across the entire spectrum of cinema and the moving image. The shop also features a used books/secondhand section, the proceeds of which will go to The Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, which helps a diverse range of people from across film, cinema and television who encounter accident, illness, bereavement or unemployment*.

WED 21 NOV – MON 26 NOV | 11AM - 5.30PM LATE NIGHT OPENINGS: FRI 23 | 11AM - 8PM SAT 24 | 11AM - 7PM (CLOSED SUN) DIR: PETER TSCHERKASSKY. AUSTRIA 2010 This dynamic, humorous meditation on the relationship between early cinema and avant-garde film explores the ‘Cinema of Attractions’ and the very different relationship between actor, camera and audience that existed before ‘modern cinema’, after 1910. Tscherkassky detects within advertising and its direct addressing of the audience, a residue of the ‘Cinema of Attractions’ and so here brings together commercials, avant-garde and early cinema.

Peter Tscherkassky is recognised as one of the world’s leading experimental film-makers. COMING ATTRACTIONS was first presented as a single screening at CINECITY 2010 at the Duke of York’s, as part of the cinema’s centenary celebrations.

The first edition of CINECITY took place in 2003 and the bookshop/reading room will also host a display of posters, programmes and ephemera marking the festival’s first decade.

With cakes direct from the Duke of York’s and Sticky Fingers, a playlist of soundtracks, book launches, special deals and promotions plus all the latest festival information, the pop-up is an ideal place to read and browse - and find perfect Christmas gifts for cinephiles. *If you have any unwanted film and cinema books or back issues of magazines such as Sight & Sound that you are happy to donate to support the work of The Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund then please get in touch. Donations can be dropped off at the shop or the Duke of York’s.

JEFF KEEN LOOP

TUES 27 NOV – WED 28 NOV | 11AM - 5.30PM Brighton-based Jeff Keen (1923-2012) was one of Britain’s most unique cultural voices, a pioneer in experimental film who transformed art and cinema through a vivid sensibility fuelled by surrealism, comics and B-movies. This programme complements the exhibition at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery and features early surrealist-inspired collages, the mysterious and enigmatic Archduke in Brighton, the literal destruction of the moving image and Keen’s launch of an art war on the first Gulf War. Includes WAIL (1960), THE DREAMS AND PAST CRIMES OF THE ARCHDUKE (19791984), PULVERISED CINEMA (1990s) and ARTWAR FALLOUT + ARTWAR 3 (1992-1995).

ELEPHANT

THURS 29 NOV – SAT 1 DEC | 11AM - 5.30PM DIR: ALAN CLARKE. UK 1989 Made for television in 1989, ELEPHANT is a hard film to categorize. Produced by Danny Boyle for BBC Northern Ireland and first broadcast on BBC2 it is totally unlike what we have come to expect of TV drama. Shot on location in Belfast, ELEPHANT depicts 18 sectarian murders in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. There is no plot, no music, virtually no dialogue and no apparent link between the killings; instead we follow an individual on the way to kill somebody or on the way to their death. Then the same thing happens, again and again.

With a running time of just 39 minutes it sits in that no-man’s land of neither short nor feature (see ciné-novella). Twenty or so years after broadcast it can now also be seen as a kind of proto-artists’ cinema and has a clear lineage to and influence on a range of contemporary artists’ work. Gus Van Sant acknowledged the influence of Clarke’s film not least by borrowing the title for his 2003 Palme d’Or winner based on the Columbine High School massacre.

“There is no universal history that leads from savagery to humanity”, said Adorno. But there is now a film with talking dogs that traces the development of the world spirit from Plato thru August 2011 riots to today. BANG! is a materialist history of the present that uses the language of internet memes, advice dogs, and infantilised avatars to tussle with the journey from an organic society to the surreal subsumption of capital; the unfinished story of communism for a world that’s gone to the dogs.

Introduced by writer Benedict Seymour (co-writer of BANG!) and Matthew Noel-Tod, Senior Lecturer in Moving Image, University of Brighton.

Kirschner and Panos were the winners of the Jarman Award 2011.

DEEP STATE THURS 22 | 6PM

THE WANDERER FRI 30 NOV | 6PM

DIR: LAURE PROUVOST. UK 2012. 75MINS.

Comprising six narrative sequences, The Wanderer is based on a script by artist Rory Macbeth who, without any knowledge of German, translated a Franz Kafka novella into English. The film follows a number of characters who undergo a series of increasingly bizarre and mysterious experiences, navigating various situations in which reality becomes increasingly uncertain. Working for the first time with a full crew and a cast of actors, Prouvost used Macbeth’s text as a loose framework rather than a definitive script, opening up the narrative to the various shifts and slippages of language and direction introduced by film-making process.

DIR: KAREN MIRZA AND BRAD BUTLER.UK 2012. 44MINS.

Made in collaboration with the writer China Miéville, DEEP STATE is a direct development of the filmmakers’ visit to Cairo prior to the Tahrir Square uprising. It is ‘an audacious semi-fantastical secret history of the counterforces of popular protest and clandestine control told through archive material, contemporary footage and future speculation.’ The artists were nominated for this year’s Jarman Award.

Followed by Q&A with Karen Mirza and Brad Butler.

EXPERIMENTAL AMATEURS

WED 28 NOV | 6PM A programme of rarely-seen shorts curated by Ian Helliwell, highlighting grass roots, self-funded and autonomous experiments with image and sound.

Ranging from the 1950s to the 21st century, the selection includes a hand drawn soundtrack by Stuart Wynn Jones, a time lapse car journey from FC Judd, amateur electronic music by Ralph Broome from 1960, and direct animation film by students at Phoenix Brighton, on the Super 8 for Beginners workshops. By no means amateurish, the output of these ‘Experimental Amateurs’ reveals what can be done with limited budgets, no official support and a wealth of imagination.

CENTRE AND EDGE - NICK COLLINS

Nick Collins is an artist film-maker known for his delicate and beautiful compositions on 16mm film, such as DARK GARDEN which screened in last year’s CINECITY. For this year’s 10th edition, Brighton Film School and CINECITY have commissioned Nick to make his first ever piece using 35mm film. CENTRE AND EDGE looks at how Brighton meets and extends into the Downs, through a series of widescreen landscape shots. The centre of the city interrupts the stillness of these peaceful views in jagged interludes, while at the same time the filmic apparatus is evoked and celebrated. CENTRE AND EDGE will screen at The Artists’ Cinema and the Duke of York’s throughout the festival.

MINER’S HYMNS SAT 1 DEC | 6PM

DIR: BILL MORRISON. UK 2011. 52MINS.

American experimental film-maker Bill Morrison explored the fragility of film in his 2002 decay-ofcelluloid meditation DECASIA. His latest film explores the history and legacy of the north eastern England mining community of Durham. Morrison pieces together a collage of archive material spanning 100 years - from early grainy footage through to the pitched battles with police during the 1984 strike as Thatcher’s government sounded the death knell for the industry. Acclaimed Icelandic musician and composer Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score draws upon the region’s brass music and perfectly complements this haunting, beautiful elegy to a bygone era.

DIR: DUANE GRAVES AND JUSTIN MEEKS. US 2012. 86MINS. Cult, horror and midnight movie fans… rejoice!

The annual Cine-Excess International Cult Film Festival is relocating from London’s West End to Brighton in 2013, for a distinctive mix of global film-maker awards, retrospectives and premieres of new cult film releases. Ahead of this annual event, Cine-Excess presents the UK Premiere of Kim Henkel’s BONE BOYS.

DIR: FRANÇOIS OZON. WITH: FABRICE LUCHINI, KRISTIN SCOTT THOMAS, ERNST UMHAUER, EMMANUELLE SEIGNER. FRANCE 2012. 105MINS. FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES. Awarded the main prize at the 2012 San Sebastián Film Festival, François Ozon (UNDER THE SAND, 8 WOMEN and SWIMMING POOL) delivers a cleverly structured psychological thriller about a teacher-student relationship: French Literature teacher Germain (Fabrice Luchini) lives a dull, repetitive life and seems barely conscious of his art gallery wife (Kristin Scott Thomas). He becomes intrigued by the writing of one of his students, Claude (Ernst Umhauer) whose weekly essays detail his exploits within the house of a fellow student.

Becoming more and more involved in Claude’s narrative, the lines between reality and fiction are increasingly blurred, affecting the lives of student, teacher and the people around them.

Adapting Spanish playwright Juan Mayorga’s The Boy in the Last Row, Ozon crafts a darkly comic narrative about the art of storytelling and once more shows his gift for revealing the dark truths in seemingly ordinary situations.

In 1974, Henkel wrote one of the most notorious and influential horror movies of all time: THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. The film thrilled and disturbed audiences and launched the careers of Henkel and his directing colleague Tobe Hooper.

Now Henkel returns to the theme of American society feeding off itself with his new chiller. Directed by Austin based film-makers Duane Graves and Justin Meeks, Henkel’s new script fuses Jonathan Swift’s tale A Modest Proposal with a Southern cannibalistic elite operating from a meat-feast diner. With its surreal and unsettling imagery, the film pushes THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE’s absurdist and gruesome narrative to the limit, as well as providing a wealth of cult cameos from iconic ‘chainsaw’ performers.

Sunday 25 November

A beautiful and delightful hand-drawn animation, packed with charm and adventure. It is universally understood that bears and mice never mingle, yet when Ernest, a large and grumpy bear meets Célestine, a bright, little orphan mouse, they form an unlikely friendship.

First-time director Benjamin Renner, joined by the team behind A TOWN CALLED PANIC, has vividly brought (writer-and-illustrator) Gabrielle Vincent’s children’s books to the screen. Four years in the making, ERNEST ET CÉLESTINE is wonderful visual storytelling and a heartwarming tale of love and friendship.

Lucien and Regina are foragers - they gather wild mushrooms in the woodlands of New Jersey and sell them to restaurants in New York. Their lifestyle is simple, their income unstable. To improve the financial security and to follow a more fulfilling personal career path, Regina decides to take a job cooking at a high-end restaurant. Lucien disapproves and instead, he proposes to give up their apartment and live as full-time itinerant foragers.

As individual desires take them down divergent paths over the course of a year, their marriage slowly comes apart.

CHASING ICE

DUKE OF YORK’S | SUN 25 NOV | 6.30PM

DIR: JEFF ORLOWSKI. USA 2012. 76MINS. National Geographic environmental photographer James Balog was once a sceptic about climate change. But presented with dramatic evidence that the glaciers were retreating, he embarked on an ambitious project: to demonstrate this visually by installing time-lapse cameras to capture the movement of some of the world’s greatest glaciers.

With expeditions to extreme locations in Greenland, Iceland and beyond, freezing temperatures and equipment failure challenged Balog and his team to the limits of endurance. Thankfully their persistence paid off and in CHASING ICE, fellow team member Jeff Orlowski presents hauntingly beautiful, (multiyear) time-lapse videos of the vanishing glaciers and a portrait of an environmental visionary.

A brilliant new documentary about one of America’s greatest living photographers: Gregory Crewdson doesn’t just “take” his images, he creates them, through elaborate days and weeks of invention, design, and set-up. His 10-year quest to create a series of haunting, surreal, and stunningly elaborate portraits of small-town American life is filmed with unprecedented access as he makes perfect renderings of a disturbing, imperfect world. Documentary director Ben Shapiro has devoted years of his life to capturing Crewdson’s method and soaking up the result on the big screen seems a fitting way to do justice to both his and Gregory Crewdson’s work.

DIR: EYTAN FOX. WITH: OHAD KNOLLER, OZ ZEHAVI, LIOR ASHKENAZI. ISRAEL 2012. HEBREW WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES. 83MINS. Returning to the same role from 2003’s YOSSI AND JAGGER, Ohad Knoller plays the perennially sad, closeted gay man, Yossi. When his past comes back to haunt him, he decides to take a road trip to escape. Picking up a group of fun-loving soldiers on holiday finally ignites a need to awaken from his emotional slumber. Not quite a sequel, YOSSI is an engaging and accomplished film. A wonderfully subtle performance from Knoller gives the film its emotional heart, with Fox’s skilful and honest film-making moving the character from the stark, empty world of the city into the rolling beauty of the road trip, as his world begins to crack open.

DIR: BARNABY SOUTHCOMBE. WITH: CHARLOTTE RAMPLING, GABRIEL BYRNE, HAYLEY ATWELL, EDDIE MARSAN, JODHI MAY, RALPH BROWN, MAX DEACON, HONOR BLACKMAN. UK 2012. 93 MINS. Anna Welles (Rampling) is a divorcée who reluctantly attends a speed-dating evening, only to find herself embroiled in a murder mystery. Crossing paths with detective Bernie Reid (Gabriel Byrne) the chemistry is immediate.

Adapted from Elsa Lewin’s 1984 novel of the same name, the action is transposed from the US to a moody London; the film’s noir credentials emphasised by Rampling’s enigmatic femme fatale and Byrne’s burgeoning obsession. With Richard Hawley providing its soundtrack, Barnaby Southcombe’s debut feature is a very classy psychological thriller with a brilliant cast.

Followed by a Q&A with director Barnaby Southcombe.

GIMME THE LOOT DEBUT

DIR: ADAM LEON. WITH: TASHIANA WASHINGTON, TY HICKSON. USA 2012. 80MINS. Award-winning GIMME THE LOOT is Adam Leon’s directorial debut. Compellingly performed by non-professional actors Tashiana Washington and Ty Hickson, Sofia and Malcolm are teens growing up in the Bronx, keen to pull off a feat that hasn’t been achieved since the 1980s – “bombing the apple” – a stunt that involves tagging the apple that appears every time New York baseball team, The Mets, win a home run. They need to raise $500 as a bribe to access the iconic landmark. After several hapless attempts at shoplifting, petty theft and swindling a local drug dealer, the pair get ripped off or knocked back at every turn. Behind all the street bravado and swagger they are tenderly revealed as the young naïve teenagers they really are.

CATALYST CLUB FILM SPECIAL

Taking place over two sun-soaked summer days, GIMME THE LOOT expertly captures the texture and energy of the Bronx; charming, humorous and vibrant with well-written characters, the film also boasts a great soundtrack of 50s rhythm and blues, modern bluegrass and gospel.

PRANKS AND MISCHIEF IN THE MOVIES David Bramwell Catalyst host and Cheeky guides creator, David Bramwell, celebrates three of his favourite films - Orson Welles’ F FOR FAKE, AMERICAN ASTRONAUT and Steven Soderbergh’s SCHIZOPOLIS.

Or so David hopes to demonstrate.

DIR: ROGER MICHELL. WITH: BILL MURRAY, LAURA LINNEY, OLIVIA WILLIAMS, SAMUEL WEST, OLIVIA COLMAN. UK 2012. 95MINS. The story of the secret love affair between Franklin D. Roosevelt (Bill Murray) and his distant cousin, Margaret Suckley (Laura Linney). From the director of NOTTING HILL, this witty and entertaining period drama is based around a weekend in 1939 when King George VI (Samuel West) and Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) visit the US to seek their support in the imminent war.

Based on Suckley’s letters and diaries, the private lives of public figures play out in a comedy of manners in upstate New York. Based around a great central performance from Bill Murray as FDR, there are finely judged characterisations throughout from a star-studded cast.

DIRS: TI WEST, RADIO SILENCE, ADAM WINGUARD, GLENN MCQUAID, DAVID BRUCKNER, JOE SWANBERG. USA 2012. 116MINS. A raw, indie mixtape of horror that was a real hit at this year’s Sundance. Featuring 6 stories on 6 tapes by 6 acclaimed directors, V/H/S opens with a group of petty criminals breaking into a house under orders to steal a tape only to find a corpse in front of the TV. As the young men are picked off one by one during their hunt in a basement stacked with tapes, the TV blares out the content of one gory VHS from the boundless collection. Haunted houses, violent traps, a cautionary tale for sleazy frat-boy style escapades and a killer in the woods are among the gory stories. A celebration of 1980s video nasties, V/H/S dexterously uses the volatile video format to spit out creepy horror tableaux with a lot of guts.

SHOCK HEAD SOUL

Daniel Paul Schreber spent nine years in a psychiatric clinic and then in 1903 published what is still regarded as the most famous autobiography ‘written from the inside’ about schizophrenia, paranoia and megalomania. Schreber believed that he was in contact with God through the Writing-Down Machine, a precursor to the typewriter, and that only his transformation into a woman could save the world. Simon Pummell (BODYSONG) interlaces documentary, fiction and animation in an original and challenging way. Interviews with psychoanalysts, dressed in fin de siècle suits, are juxtaposed with fragments from Schreber’s prose, his typewriter floating through space like a glowing planet, and performances by the Dutch actor Hugo Koolschijn, who portrays the tormented Schreber.

Post screening panel presentation and discussion organised by Cinemas of the Mind, the Arts Forum of Psychotherapy Sussex. Simon Pummell, the director of SHOCK HEAD SOUL, Professor Ian Christie, a film historian, writer and broadcaster and Dr. Clive Robinson, a Consultant in General Adult Psychiatry will join a post screening panel discussion.

This will be chaired by Helen Taylor Robinson, who conceived and developed the idea of SHOCK HEAD SOUL with Simon Pummell. She is a Fellow of the Institute of Psychoanalysis and has lectured and published on Film and Psychoanalysis. The members of the panel have all been closely involved in the making of the film.

Combined film and panel discussion ticket £10.00/£8.00 Duke of York’s members and concessions.

SIDE BY SIDE

With a stellar cast of directors heading up the interviews, including James Cameron, David Fincher, David Lynch, George Lucas, Danny Boyle, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Steven Soderbergh, Lars Von Trier and the Wachowski brothers, SIDE

BY SIDE explores the inexorable rise of digital technology and its impact on cinema. Film crews contribute their experiences and directors expand upon how the aesthetic differences inform their choices. Produced by Keanu Reeves who is the main interviewer, this fascinating and enlightening documentary asks questions about the pros and cons of digital and photochemical; can the two forms work alongside one another or after more than a century, is it now the end for celluloid?

DUKE OF YORK’S | SAT 1 DEC | 3.30PM

A dentist by trade, Jorge Mario has lots of hobbies but one real passion: cinema. Making dozens of home movies, he has gone on to create thrillers, documentaries and westerns on Super 8. Now 70, he wants to re-make his magnum opus, the Super 8 revenge western Winchester Martin. Struggling to find a cast, he co-opts his patients and local butcher into becoming celluloid bandits, never losing his joy for making movies. Though the idea of non-professionalism can (sometimes) carry negative connotations in our culture, an amateur - deriving from the Latin for love is someone who loves what they do and Jorge Mario has infectious passion aplenty. AMATEUR is a warm, affectionate documentary and a homage to a disappearing popular cinephilia.

Each triplet wants to be chosen for a role in a major production at Havana’s Grand Theatre.

DIR: BRANDON CRONENBERG. WITH: CALEB LANDRY JONES, SARAH GADON, MALCOLM MCDOWELL. CANADA – USA 2012. 110MINS.

DUKE OF YORK’S | SAT 1 DEC | 11.30PM

The debut feature of Brandon Cronenberg (son of David) is a stylish sci-fi body horror with an unsettling, cold elegance and twisted humour. Caleb Landry Jones, plays pale clinician Syd Marsh, a young employee of a company marketing celebrity viruses enabling fans to be infected with their idol’s illnesses. Syd transforms his own body into a vessel to sell diseases, injecting himself with a disease extracted from Hannah Geist (Sarah Gadon), the most famous woman in the world, which he plans to sell it on the black market to desperate fans. Cronenberg probes the intimacy of disease as a physical invasion from another living body and sickness as a way to connect; even cannibalism is just one step away as fans consume steaks and burgers cultured from celebrity cells.

ANTIVIRAL DEBUT

Sunday 02 December

An award-winning debut feature set in the north Italian countryside; Giacomo, a young 19-year-old deaf man, goes picnicking with his best female friend, Stefania. Though they get lost, they discover a remote place that feels like a little paradise where they are free to be themselves and their childhood games increasingly take on sensual overtones.

It is the overall sensual quality of SUMMER OF GIACOMO that helps make it so engaging; what at first feels like documentary, delicately opens up and reveals its layers. There is a tenderness and a poignancy to the sun-dappled images of a carefree summer afternoon, a bittersweet memory of an already lost time.

CLOSING NIGHT FILM

DUKE OF YORK’S | SUN 2 DEC | 6.30PM

NO

Gael Garcia Bernal stars as René Saavedra, a successful advertising executive in late 1980s Chile; a Mad Men figure in a country torn apart. International pressure on Augusto Pinochet’s bloodthirsty dictatorship has forced his 15 years of military rule to be opened to public vote in the 1988 Chilean National Plebiscite. Approached to spearhead the ‘No’ campaign, René is initially ambivalent. However, the campaign proves to be an awakening as he begins to embody Chile’s fight for democracy, while his own boss is called in to support the flagging ‘Yes’ campaign.

With a captivating script full of dry humour, Bernal is brilliant as René; evolving with a campaign that will change the history of a country, as the real threat of the personal risk he is undertaking becomes chillingly clear. Shot on U-matic video, Sergio Armstrong’s cinematography merges seamlessly with archival material and real footage of the campaign’s infomercials. Winner of Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes, Larrain’s fresh vision reveals the significance of the campaign for all involved and captures the era’s sense of confusion and fear.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME tells the stories of ex-rough sleepers struggling to establish ‘ordinary lives’ in London. The film follows their experiences as they shift from the uncertain and chaotic nature of life on the Street, and try to move towards more settled existences and permanent accommodation. SOME KIND OF LIFE is the result of working with people in Peterborough who have been, or still are, homeless. The film explores, through personal narratives, a constellation of issues implicated in being ‘on the Street’. The stories challenge assumptions about what constitutes home and how people understand their own sense of belonging. Presented in partnership with videoclub.
