FRIDAY 15â&#x20AC;&#x201C;SUNDAY 24 NOVEMBER 2019 WWW.FOYLEFILMFESTIVAL.ORG

FOYLE FILM FESTIVAL Foyle Film Festival provides a unique opportunity for local cinemagoers to see many new films well in advance of the general release date; many of which will no doubt go on to be major awards contenders in 2020. As usual, the festival features classic movies, film industry talks, and special cinematic events for all the family. While the festival’s Oscar® and BAFTA affiliated Light In Motion Short Film Competition features the best short films and animations from around the world. This year’s festival launches with the Northern Ireland Premiere of Hope Gap, which brings together Academy® Award nominee Annette Bening and BAFTA winner Bill Nighy in Academy® Award nominated Writer/Director William Nicholson’s second feature. The film follows the disintegration of a marriage and the impact on the lives of the couple and their grown up son Jamie. While the Closing Night Gala is Irish film The Last Right - a comedy-drama road movie telling the story of a man bringing the body of a stranger home for burial. As always, FFF showcases the best in Irish cinema and some of this year’s highlights include Land Without God - an intimate portrait of a family coming to terms with decades of institutional abuse. Lost Lives is a major cinematic film inspired by the book of the same name, and marks the 50th Anniversary of the start of the conflict in Northern Ireland. Written over seven years by five journalists, it is a book that, uniquely, records the circumstances of every single death in the Northern Irish ‘Troubles.’

Also included in this year’s programme is the acclaimed documentary Gaza which brings the audience into the lives of the people trying to lead meaningful lives against the rubble of perennial conflict. Gaza has just been selected as Ireland’s entry for the Oscars’ Best International Feature Film category in 2020. This year’s festival also features a strong music strand with screenings including Mystify: Michael Hutchence - a documentary that explores the troubled life of rock star Michael Hutchence, lead singer and songwriter of INXS. Hitsville: The Making Of Motown celebrates the 60th Anniversary of the legendary Motown Records with rare performances and behind the scenes footage. Music icons Elvis Presley and Judy Garland also feature in this year’s festival with Elvis: That’s The Way It Is marking the 42nd year of the King’s death, at age 42, and showcasing his return to live performance after his movie years. While a special 80th Anniversary screening of the classic Wizard Of Oz acknowledges the 50th year since Judy Garland’s death. On a much lighter note, the festival provides fun for all the family with special festive movie screenings and Santa Claus himself in attendance to read seasonal stories, dispense presents and collect Christmas letters to take back to the North Pole… We look forward to welcoming you at this year’s bumper festival. Bernie McLaughlin, Foyle Film Festival Director/Programmer

OPENING NIGHT GALA:

HOPE GAP FRIDAY 15 NOVEMBER @ 8.30PM BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

WITH SPECIAL INTRODUCTION BY OSCAR® & BAFTA NOMINATED WRITER/DIRECTOR WILLIAM NICHOLSON AND CAST MEMBER AIYSHA HART. Academy® Award nominee Annette Bening and BAFTA winner Bill Nighy come together in Academy® Award nominated Write/Director William Nicholson’s second feature. Grace (Annette Bening) and Edward (Bill Nighy) have been married thirty-three years. When their son Jamie (Josh O’Connor) comes home to visit them in the fading seaside town where he grew up, Edward tells him that he plans to leave Grace, the next day. Hope Gap tracks the unravelling of three lives, through stages of shock, disbelief and anger, to a resolution, of sorts. It’s tender, it’s funny and above all, true. There are no easy answers, no simple paths to redemption, but in the end, it is a story of hope and survival. Commenting on the film Director William Nicholson has said, “This really is a very personal story. It’s loosely inspired by what happened to me and my parents and is about the disintegration of their marriage, and a son trying to save the situation.” UK.2019. DIRECTOR: WILLIAM NICHOLSON. CAST: ANNETTE BENING, BILL NIGHY, JOSH O’CONNOR, AIYSHA HART, NICHOLAS BURNS, ROSE KEEGAN. DURATION: 1HR.40MINS. CERT: 12A

FOYLEFILMFESTIVAL 2019

“Hope Gap is [an] extraordinarily powerful, emotional and loving film and we believe it will hit home for a great many moviegoers who have lived through this experience in their own personal way. The movie is driven by outstanding performances delivered by all three of the leading actors: Annette Bening, Bill Nighy and Josh O’Connor. Each give such layered, nuanced and brilliant performances.” COHEN AND D’ARBELOFF, ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS AND SCREEN MEDIA

THE KINGMAKER SATURDAY 16 NOVEMBER @ 2PM BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

From award winning documentarian Lauren Greenfield (Generation Wealth, The Queen of Versailles), The Kingmaker puts the spotlight on Imelda Marcos with an analysis of the Marcos family’s improbable return to power in the Philippines. The film explores the disturbing legacy of the Marcos regime and chronicles Imelda’s present-day push to help her son, Bongbong, win the vice-presidency. To this end, Imelda confidently rewrites her family’s history of corruption, replacing it with a narrative of a matriarch’s extravagant love for her country (not shoes!!!). In an age when fake news manipulates elections, Imelda’s comeback story serves as a dark fairytale. Nominated for the Grierson Documentary Award at the London Film Festival

FEATURED SCREENS

NI PREMIERE

BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL When the Taliban puts a bounty on Afghan director Hassan Fazili’s head, he is forced to flee with his wife and two young daughters. Capturing their uncertain journey, Fazili shows first-hand the dangers facing refugees seeking asylum and the love shared between a family on the run. Entirely shot on three mobile phones…

“An existential road film with life-or-death stakes, Midnight Traveler presents a ground-floor portrayal of the refugee crisis that smartly privileges experience over solutions.” VIKRAM MURTHL, ROGER EBERT

Hassan Fazili’s Midnight Traveler might be the most compelling argument for the iPhone as the best available vehicle for vérité filmmaking. Three different iPhones capture the danger and uncertainty inherent in such a voyage: Fazili and his family are often forced to sleep in the woods or in abject housing conditions while facing prejudice because of their refugee status. USA/UK/CANADA/QATAR.2019. DIRECTOR: HASSAN FAZILI. CAST: HASSAN FAZILI, NARGIS FAZILI, ZAHRA FAZILI, FATIMA HOSSAINI. DURATION: 1HR.30MINS. CERT: TBA. LANGUAGE: ARABIC, ENGLISH, TURKISH, BULGARIAN.

THE CAVE SUNDAY 17 NOVEMBER @ 2PM BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

“A stirring, tough, beautifully made documentary.” CARYN JAMES, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER “(O)ne of the most accomplished pieces of non-fiction filmmaking of the year.” SHANE SLATER, AWARDSCIRCUIT.COM

Oscar® nominee Feras Fayyad (Last Men In Aleppo) delivers an unflinching story of the Syrian war with his powerful new documentary, The Cave. For besieged civilians, hope and safety lie underground inside the subterranean hospital known as the Cave, where pediatrician and managing physician Dr. Amani Ballor and her colleagues Samaher and Dr. Alaa have claimed their right to work as equals alongside their male counterparts, doing their jobs in a way that would be unthinkable in the oppressively patriarchal culture that exists above. Following the women as they contend with daily bombardments, chronic supply shortages and the ever-present threat of chemical attacks, The Cave paints a stirring portrait of courage, resilience and female solidarity. SYRIA/DENMARK/GERMANY/USA/QATAR.2019. DIRECTOR: FERAS FAYYAD. CAST: DR. AMANI BALLOR, SAMAHER, DR. ALAA. DURATION: 1HR.35MINS. CERT: PG-13. LANGUAGE: ARABIC, ENGLISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.

DARK LIES THE ISLAND SUNDAY 17 NOVEMBER @ 7PM BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

If you’re going to get involved with men in the town of Dromord, they might as well be Mannions - and Sara is involved with them up to her neck. She’s married to Daddy Mannion, who is more than 20 years her senior and who more or less owns and runs the town. But her first love is his estranged son, Doggy Mannion, who is by now a criminal recluse living in the woods outside the town. Then there’s the younger brother, Martin Mannion, a small-town Lothario and failing chicken farmer, and yes, Sara has just got involved with him too. As a result of this tangled erotic web, jealousy is rife in Dromord, and it’s flinging out its spears in all directions. The Mannion men have been set at each other, their long truce cannot hold, and serious violence is threatened will we get through the next few days without bloodshed? IRELAND/UK.2019.

QT8: THE FIRST EIGHT MONDAY 18 NOVEMBER @ 7PM BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

Quentin Tarantino is one of the most influential filmmakers of the last 30 years. His bloody, talky, nonlinear films pull together dozens of influences to form bracingly original cinematic events. In a Hollywood that worships at the altar of franchises and remakes, Tarantino’s films are unique cinematic visions from a filmmaker at the peak of his powers. As Tarantino’s newest film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood recently hit cinemas to praise and controversy, filmmaker Tara Wood takes the audience on a journey through the first 8 wildly divergent films that Tarantino has helmed, narrated by the actors and collaborators who have worked with him. From Reservoir Dogs through The Hateful Eight, from the video store to the fall of Harvey Weinstein, QT8 digs deep into the story of one of the most important and controversial filmmakers of our time, and narrated by the actors and collaborators who know him best. USA.2019. DIRECTOR: TARA WOOD. CAST: SAMUEL L. JACKSON, JENNIFER JASON LEIGH, CHRISTOPH WALTZ, KURT RUSSELL, DIANE KRUGER, JAMIE FOXX, LUCY LIU, BRUCE DERN, TIM ROTH, ELI ROTH, MICHAEL MADSEN.

GRETA THE SOUVENIR MONDAY 18 NOVEMBER @ 9PM MONDAY 18 NOVEMBER @ 9.30PM NERVE CENTRE

BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

Frances (Chloë Grace Moretz), a naïve young woman trying to make it on her own in New York City, doesn’t think twice about returning the handbag she finds on the subway to its rightful owner. That owner is Greta (Isabelle Huppert), an eccentric French piano teacher with a love for classical music and an aching loneliness. Having recently lost her mother, Frances quickly grows closer to widowed Greta. The two become fast friends, but Greta’s maternal charms begin to dissolve and grow increasingly disturbing as Frances discovers that nothing in Greta’s life is what it seems in this suspense thriller directed by Academy® Award winner Neil Jordan.

Joanna Hogg’s fourth movie ends with a glance to camera that comes like a gut punch. Hogg’s work has probed bourgeois lives with memorable clench and squirm, but this feels like so much more. The story of a young film student (Honor Swinton Byrne) falling in love with a mysterious older man (Tom Burke), The Souvenir has wide emotional appeal; its situations unposed and dialogue often improvised. Hogg frames and paces it to create one of the year’s outstanding film experiences.

“That I should feel so completely invested in this documentary is down to the skill of the director in recreating her story in a way that felt so vivid and immersive.” CATERINA BENINCASA, BINA007 MOVIES

BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

Sid & Judy is an emotional documentary about the latter half of Judy Garland’s career, as seen through the autobiography of her third husband Sid Luft. He meets and marries Garland shortly after her ignominious sacking from MGM, addicted to pills, with a reputation of being unreliable. So young to be seemingly on the scrapheap, Luft masterminds her return to the big screen in the Warner Brothers funded remake of A Star Is Born.

After the film flops, Luft reinvents Garland as a touring extravaganza, with sell-out shows in Carnegie Hall and the London Palladium and every great venue in between, and finally gets her the CBS TV show. The story continues through the highs and lows of her television show to her death.

“Part Balkan Grey Gardens, part bittersweet meditation… Honeyland tells a story with universal resonance…” SHERI LINDEN, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

HONEYLAND WEDNESDAY 20 NOVEMBER @ 7PM NERVE CENTRE

In a deserted Macedonian village, Hatidze, a 50-something woman, trudges up a hillside to check her bee colonies nestled in the rocks. Serenading them with a secret chant, she gently manoeuvres the honeycomb without netting or gloves. Back home, Hatidze tends to her handmade hives and her bedridden mother, occasionally heading to the capital to market her wares. One day an itinerant family installs itself next door, and Hatidze’s peaceful kingdom gives way to roaring engines, seven shrieking children and 150 cows.

Yet Hatidze welcomes the camaraderie, and she holds nothing back - not her tried and tested beekeeping advice, not her affection, or her special brandy. But soon Hussein, the itinerant family’s patriarch, makes a series of decisions that could destroy Hatidze’s way of life forever. Winner of Cinematography Award, Grand Jury Prize and World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award at 2019 Sundance Film Festival.

BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

“Powered by the magnetic Aaron Taylor-Johnson, it’s rough around the edges, but still intoxicating.” JAMES MOTTRAM, TOTAL FILM

At the age of 23, James Frey woke up on a plane to find his front teeth knocked out and his nose broken. He had no idea where the plane was headed or any recollection of the past two weeks. An alcoholic for ten years and a drug addict for three, he checked into a treatment facility shortly after landing. There, he found much more than traditional treatment. He found similar broken souls yearning and fighting for a better life. This is a story of recovery and love, a story of friendship and hope. This is an account of his six weeks in rehab.

NEVER GROW OLD

“A lean and gritty western shot in Connemara… Kavanagh’s film borrows somewhat in tone from Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven, but is very nicely made and Cusack is very enjoyable as the softspoken villain.” PAUL WHITINGTON, THE INDEPENDENT

FRIDAY 22 NOVEMBER @ 9.30PM BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

Emile Hirsch and John Cusack star in Ivan Kavanagh’s Western about an outlaw who takes over a frontier town. Cusack is Dutch Albert, a quintessential bad guy who figures prominently in Ivan Kavanagh’s old-fashioned Western Never Grow Old. Hirsch also gives a powerful performance as the film’s hero, Patrick Tate, an Irish immigrant who has settled in the Oregon territory with his French wife and their two young daughters. Patrick works as an undertaker, normally a lucrative profession in the untamed Wild West.

But business is down since the fire-and-brimstone Preacher Pike has banned alcohol, prostitution and gambling, three things that pretty much guarantee a steady stream of bodies to bury. Patrick’s fortunes change dramatically with the arrival of Dutch Albert and his gang. Dutch buys the local hotel and turns it into a well-stocked brothel. Initially Patrick goes along, doing his best to keep to himself. But as the town becomes transformed into a hellhole of violence and moral corruption, Patrick feels compelled to take action…

SATURDAY 23 NOVEMBER @ 7PM

“This extraordinary film is certain to resonate with Irish fishing communities.” ★★★★★ TARA BRADY, THE IRISH TIMES

BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

Martin Ward is a cove fisherman, without a boat. His brother Steven has re-purposed their father’s vessel as a tourist tripper, driving a wedge between the brothers. With their childhood home now a get-away from London Money, Martin is displaced to the estate above the picturesque harbor. As his struggle to restore the family to their traditional place creates increasing friction with tourists and locals alike, a tragedy at the heart of the family changes his world.

Bait was shot on 16mm B&W film and processed by hand. Shot in Cornwall, it tells the stark story rooted in local culture and community, and how these marginal places are facing up to a changing world. From writer/director Mark Jenkin and Early Day Films, Bait is a hand crafted monochrome expression of a life under threat.

TUESDAY 19 NOVEMBER @ 9PM NERVE CENTRE

No one who loves music will want to miss this thrilling film, which is both a revealing look at a key moment in American musical and social history, and an invaluable record of one of America’s greatest artists doing what she did best.

The beautiful yet tragic love story between Leonard Cohen and his Norwegian muse Marianne Ihlen. Their love began on the idyllic Greek island of Hydra in 1960 as part of a bohemian community of foreign artists, writers and musicians. The film follows their relationship from the early days, a time of ‘free love’ and open marriage, to how their love evolved when Leonard became a successful musician. It was in Hydra in 1968 that director Nick Broomfield, then aged 20, first met Marianne, and introduced him to Leonard Cohen’s music and also encouraged Nick to make his first film. Marianne and Leonard’s was a love story that would continue for the rest of their lives.

I’M WALKING HERE! I’M WALKING HERE!

BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

Joe Buck (John Voight), is a tall, handsome young Texan who comes to New York to hustle money out of rich women. He is befriended by a sickly, limping, lowlife con man, ‘Ratso’ Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman), who offers to manage Joe’s career, for their mutual benefit.

The film debut of Jean Luc Godard started the French new wave of filmmaking - recognised as one of the most stylish and influential movements in film history. Cigarettes, hats, sunglasses and determined unconformity make Michel Poiccard (Belmondo) a true cinematic icon.

A unique bond develops between the unlikely duo, but the two prove no match for the urban jungle of Manhattan.

Playing against the stunning Jean Seberg he smokes his way through a series of sexy Gallic exchanges in the ultra cool Paris of the 1960’s.

Featuring landmark performances from its two leads and an iconic John Barry soundtrack, Midnight Cowboy is a gritty yet warm story of an affectionate friendship between two drifters in a decaying late-1960s New York.

DIRECTORS GERARD MANNIX FLYNN AND MAEDHBH MCMAHON WILL INTRODUCE THE FILM AND TAKE PART IN A POSTSCREENING DISCUSSION An intimate portrait of a family coming to terms with decades of institutional abuse and the impact it has had and continues to have on their lives. The film examines the legacy of Institutional abuse by the Irish Church and State over the last century. The story follows the writer, Gerard Mannix Flynn, together with generations of his family who for the first time, speak openly together about their childhood traumatic experience of being removed from the family home and being incarcerated in children’s homes and industrial institutions run by religious catholic orders. Here the children worked the land from dawn until dusk, ill-clothed, half-starved day in day out. The regime was merciless. It focuses on the impact that violence had and is still having on them and their class. Why did this happen? How does one exit the trauma buried deep in the bones of generations? Is it possible to walk away free? And will they let you?

“(A) powerful evocation of an individual and a family harrowed by the suffering they endured in various institutions in Ireland…” CATRIONA CROWE, IRISH EXAMINER

Flynn leads us through the story of modern structured slavery. He becomes the receiver of the intimate tales of his family. He listens, witnesses and carefully archives their stories within his own story. This compelling film highlights a family’s personal journey into the dark side of the Irish State.
