Welcome to the

7th - 11th November 2006 There really is something for everyone in this year’s jam-packed programme.

We are delighted to screen a very special preview of the much anticipated family feature film The Ugly Duckling and Me. This innovative 3D animation was produced here in Galway and we are very grateful to Eclipse Pictures for giving us the opportunity to screen this wonderful film at our festival.

We have two extended programmes of short films made by young people through our own Young Film Makers Project, Galway Film Centre’s Flying Film Squads, Youth Theatre Groups and individuals making their own movies at home.

We also screen the Fresh Film Showcase which has films made by young people from Dublin, Cork and Cavan. It’s fantastic to see the wealth of imagination and talent that’s out there.

Children of Allah is a wonderful documentary which gives us some insight into the daily lives of young Muslim boys in an orphanage in Kerala, India. This sensitive and enlightening film was made by two young talented film makers, Keith Walsh and Jill Beardsworth. We thank them for their participation and all proceeds from the screening will go to the orphanage in India.

A Kid’s Life is a programme of six excellent short films which deal with issues ranging from loss, neglect, love and bullying to more surreal and sacrilegious matters.

Thanks to Philip Ilson from the Halloween Short Film Festival for his contribution to this programme.

Two further films coming from the Muslim experience are Offside from Iran, a comic gem that cleverly manages to deal with Iran’s repressive laws in a funny, light-hearted way and Le Grand Voyage, a powerful, moving road movie which brings us some incredible scenes of Mecca at it’s climax.

Further screenings include the excellent German thriller The Edukators and two Leaving Certificate films My Left Foot and The Truman Show. As always a big thanks to Alicia McGivern at the IFI for her input. Special screenings for our visit to Ballygar in the Cinemobile include the recent releases Cars for the younger audiences and the award-winning The Wind That Shakes The Barley.

Some Fun Shorts is another treat for animation fans with some wacky and beautiful films from the UK, Germany, Ireland and the USA. As always we are very grateful to The Arts Council, Galway County and City Councils and all our sponsors for their continued support.

We hope you can take the time out to join us at the festival in the Town Hall Theatre or the Cinemobile in Ballygar. See you there!

Le Grand Voyage PG

Cinemobile Ballygar Co. Galway Tuesday 7th November 10.00am

France | Morocco

2004

Drama

108min

Director: Ismaël Ferroukhi Cast: Nicolas Cazalé, Mohamed Majd, Jacky Nercessian, Gina Ognianova, Kamel Belgahsi, Atik Mohammed French and Arabic language with English subtitles

Town Hall Theatre Galway Wednesday 8th November 10.00am

A few weeks before his college entrance exams, Reda, a young man who lives in the south of France, finds himself forced to drive his devout, elderly father to Mecca on a once-in-a-lifetime religious pilgrimage. Their 3,000 mile journey takes them through Italy, Serbia, Turkey, Syria, Jordan to Saudi Arabia.

What follows is a powerful, moving drama which highlights the many differences between father and son, generational, religious and linguistic, but ultimately their pilgrimage also becomes a journey towards reconciliation.

Not only does Le Grand Voyage successfully challenge cultural preconceptions of Islamic belief, but in the climactic scenes amidst the collective fervour of Mecca, it achieves an unexpected emotional intensity. “ A tribute to the 97% of Muslims we never hear about in the Western world” Ismael Ferroukhi (writer/director Le Grand Voyage) Special thanks to the Irish Film Institute A Study Guide will accompany this film

Jan and Peter are young anti-globalisation protesters who spend their nights breaking into the homes of Berlin’s elite. Their aim is not to steal from the wealthy but to warn them that their “days of plenty are numbered”. They are brothers with a cause and christen themselves ‘The Edukators’.

Julia, Peter’s girlfriend, gets involved and when a job goes badly wrong, they find themselves kidnapping a businessman – ironically himself a former radical. Together in a cabin, the group learn about one another’s ideals and disillusionments and have to face up to some realities.

The Edukators is a smart, tense, evocative thriller.

Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town’s offbeat characters--including Sally, a snazzy 2002 Porsche, Doc Hudson, a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past, and Mater, a rusty but trusty tow truck, who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship

WINNER • BEST FILM 2006 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

Offside Iran

2004

Drama

90mins

12A

Director: Jafar Panahi Cast: Sima Mobarak Shahi, Azari Soldier, Shayesteh Irani, M Kheyrabadi Farsi language with English subtitles Town Hall Theatre Galway Wednesday 8th November 12.30pm

Offside is a hilarious, comic and hugely entertaining film, cleverly illustrating the fight for women’s rights in Iran. The film depicts an incident during the 2005 World Cup qualification match between Iran and Bahrain at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran. A teenage girl disguised as a boy tries to gain entry to the stadium where the match is due to kick off. But in Iran, females are forbidden by law from attending football matches, so she and some other street smart female football fans end up being detained by soldiers and kept together in a corner of the stadium where they can be isolated from the male crowds.

Frustratingly, during their detention, these avid female fans can hear the various shouts and roars from the spectators, but they cannot see any of the footballing action. Instead they spend their time arguing and debating with their increasingly reluctant captors.

Winner of the prestigious Silver Bear at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, Offside is an entertaining, accessible critique of Iran’s repressive laws, a comic and exuberant film which makes its point beautifully and with great compassion. “ Destined to be referred to as a Farsi ‘Bend It Like Beckham’...”

Jonathan Romney, Screen International Special thanks to the Irish Film Institute

Children of Allah 12A

Ireland

2006

Feature Documentary

77mins

Director: Keith Walsh, Jill Beardsworth Malayalam language with English subtitles Town Hall Theatre Galway Friday 10th November 11.00am

Children of Allah documents the lives of a group of boys living in a Muslim orphanage in Kerala, India. It is an unobtrusive, engaging and affectionate portrayal of their daily life. While exploring the impact Islam has on their lives as well as the relationships they have formed within the confines of the orphanage, this documentary acts as a testament to the power of the human spirit.

The unhurried pace of the narrative coupled with the sensitive approach and unconscious presence of the camera allows the viewer to participate in the daily rituals and to inhabit the world of the orphanage. As this inviting journey unfolds, we get to know some of the boys who live there and how this orphanage provides a home for them, something their own homes could not do. This unity and sense of family is in sharp contrast to their difficult backgrounds.

Filmed over a year and a half, during two trips to India, the film is the first feature documentary from filmmakers Keith Walsh and Jill Beardsworth who shot, directed and edited the film themselves. The film was produced by Donal R. Haughey (Hawkeye Films).

All proceeds from this screening will go to the orphanage in India.
