USA.2016. Director: Kirsten Johnson. Cast: Kristen Johnson, Roger Phenix. Duration: 1hr.42mins. Cert: 15. Venue: Nerve Centre Cinematographer Kirsten Johnson reaches into the enormous trove of footage she has shot over decades travelling around the world.

MONDAY 10 JULY @ 7PM
HEAL THE LIVING France/Belgium. 2016. Director: Katell Quillévéré. Cast: Tahar Rahim, Emmanuelle Seigner, Anne Dorval. Duration: 1hr.43mins. Cert: 12. Language: French with English subtitles. Venue: Nerve Centre
Heal The Living starts with a wordless and lengthy opening sequence so dreamlike, so beautiful and meditative, that everything that follows is informed by it. Three teenage boys meet up before dawn to go surfing. They huddle together, zipping up their wet suits, and then plunge into the cold, heaving ocean. There is no urgent storytelling impulse at work here – it is the moment that matters: the thrill of standing up on the board, the silence that accompanies challenging physical activity, and the beauty of the waves seen from underneath the surface. The fact that the morning ends in a tragic car accident just intensifies the memory of that opening sequence – its vision of grace, strange beauty and the wonder of the momentary. “Katell Quillévéré’s third feature…shows her humane vision of the interconnectedness of humans and the fragile miracle of life… It is so unique, and ultimately, so powerful.” Shiela O’Malley, Roger Ebert.com JUNE FILMS 7
