JAMES MULLIGHAN weLCoMe

Welcome to the Cork Film Festival, my first and the Rebel City’s 58th. Congratulations on your beautiful and culturally effervescent city - I am loving living here, and working with this talented team to bring to life a Festival of which I am sure we can all be proud. of the several paths via which to navigate our large, diverse programme, I’m especially proud of No! - activism on film. i love being entertained by movies, but i’m a passionate believer in their power to educate, and to stimulate discussion and change. This strand explores filmic depictions of activism, contemporary and historic, and shows how well film itself can be a powerful weapon. i am honoured to present in full the amazing cinematic television series Burning Bush, directed by the legendary agnieszka holland, which depicts the drama that unfolded after the self-immolation of Czech student Jan palach in protest to Soviet occupation, in Wenceslas Square, on my birthday in 1969.

You’ll see the words ‘music’ and ‘idea’ in our logo. I want our films to generate discussion and argument. Several filmmakers will attend to present their work, and we welcome the event series Rich Pickings to Cork to explore with thoroughness, debate and film three areas of interest to me: the pathologising of mental illness (Battle for the Brain), the legacy of protest movements (99%), and how our corporeal selves define and drive us (Rewiring the Body). There’s lots to listen to whilst watching this year. We have a mini strand of punk movies with the amazing the punk Singer and Bayou Maharajah: The Tragic Genius of James Booker (‘the best black, gay, one-eyed junkie piano genius new orleans has ever produced’) documentaries, and Lukas Moodysson’s glorious slice of punky coming of age We Are the Best! (Vi är bäst!). A happy birthday to Wagner and Verdi (200), and Britten (100). Big, sweeping movies in the opera house (robert redford in all is Lost); a strong global repertory season of new cinema in the gate Cinema; Shorts@Cff, a nic roeg retrospective, and a rich and strange programme of live music and film events in the Triskel - it’s going to be a very busy nine days.

LORD MAYOR Is cúis mór áthas dom an deis seo a bheith agan fáilte croíúil a chur romhaibh go léir anso le haghaidh an Cork Film Festival 2013. Cork Film Festival is a major event in our cultural calendar. In the dark days of november the city is drawn to the light of cinema screens. We take time off work, school and college, we are marked absent from everyday life and escape into film. We gather together to watch, enjoy, discuss and debate the films presented by the Festival. The Festival has helped nourish a flourishing film culture here. the Cork Shorts programmes demonstrates the quality and depth of filmmaking talent in the city. Local partnerships with the national Sculpture factory, the Cork Screen Commission and Cork Film Centre foster our culture of film. This year we look forward to a focus on Mexican cinema, along with a very strong programme of international films. Other major screenings include special presentations in Cork opera house; nebraska, all is Lost and Kill Your darlings, as well as a intriguing range of music and film events.

i would like to take the opportunity to thank the festival organisers for their dedication and commitment. In addition we thank the volunteers, patrons and venues for their support. Lastly i would like to welcome all of the festival guests to Cork. I look forward to meeting you and to seeing, hearing and discussing your films. Thank you for coming to Cork and thank you for sharing your work with us. Gúim gach rath oraibh leis an chlár seo agaibh. Cllr Catherine Clancy Ard Mhéara Chorcaí, Lord Mayor of Cork

weLCoMe BY DENIS MCSwEENEY Welcome to the 2013 Cork Film Festival. Our programme is packed full of cinematic wonders from Ireland and around the world. Of course, nurturing local talent remains very important to us and the ‘Cork Shorts’ programmes continue as strong as ever. We are very proud to present the winner of the palm d’or at Cannes, Blue is the Warmest Colour, along with the very latest features from the likes of ridley Scott and Joseph gordon Levitt. Shorts will always be a major part of our festival and this year, for the first time, we are presenting Shorts@CFF as a mini-festival in triskel Christchurch, running from Wednesday to Saturday. Whatever your tastes in film, our programme has something for you. of course, such a wide and ambitious festival could not happen without the generous and steadfast support of the arts Council, Cork City Council, fáilte ireland, Media, Culture ireland and Screen Training Ireland. A special welcome is extended to James Mullighan, Creative Director bringing vibrant energy to 2013 Cork Film Festival.

I take this opportunity to record my gratitude to the core staff, seasonal staff and to my colleagues on the festival board. Thank you too to the special supporters and friends of the festival, including all of those who have worked on our past festivals, and finally, and most importantly, to you the festival-goers whose support ensures that we march into our 58th edition as optimistic and determined as at any stage in our illustrious history. enjoy!

OPENING NIGHT SPECIAL PRESENTATION:

NEBRASkA CORk OPERA HOUSE SAT 9 | 20:30 | COH

Alexander Payne’s (Sideways, About Schmidt, The Decendents) latest film revisits a favourite trope of the director: a road trip, during which bittersweet personal truths are uncovered and savoured. In the car this time are lonely hi-fi salesman David Grant (Will forte) and his father Woody (Bruce dern, in a Cannes Best Actor winning performance). Woody has ‘won’ a million dollars in a sweepstakes, and won’t trust to the post to collect his winnings. To stop him walking the 700 miles to lottery HQ, and suspecting there might be more at stake than money, David takes him. Piece-by-piece a fuller, richer picture of his grouchy taciturn alcoholic father builds up—old loves, business partners, and members of the extended family are encountered, and life-shaping facts from Woody’s youth are uncovered. produCerS aLBert Berger, ron Yerxa SCreenWriter BoB neLSon WITH BRuCe DeRN, WILL FORTe, JuNe SQuIBB, BOB ODeNkIRk, STACY keACH thanKS to niaMh and teaM at paraMount, ireLand

Nebraska is a very personal film, a gentle and painstaking exploration of where we come from, those who made us, and what made them. The midwest—as much a character here as a backdrop—is unsentimentally yet affectionately explored, often surprisingly gorgeous to behold, thanks to payne’s long-time regular dop phedon papamichael’s luscious black-and-white widescreen photography. A slow, satisfying burn, the film is frequently very funny indeed, and calmly and constantly moving as we watch one man begin to have a fuller understanding of what has made his father, whilst facing up to this perhaps being their last adventure together.

CLOSING NIGHT SPECIAL PRESENTATION:

kILL YOUR DARLINGS DANIEL RADCLIFFE EMERGES AS A FULLY-FORMED, BIG MOVIE ACTOR IN HIS FEBRILE, DETAILED AND BRAVE PORTRAYAL OF THE NASCENT BEAT POETRY SUPERSTAR. SAT 16 | 20:30 | COH

KILL THE D...

It was William Faulkner who said; “In writing, you must kill all your darlings”. And that’s what the Columbia University freshman Allen Ginsberg (Radcliffe) is told early on, as he settles in to learn how to be a poet, and what it takes to be one. The metaphor chimes out leitmotiv-like through the film, as a quartet of bright young minds struggle to find their ways and voices, letting themselves, each other, loved ones and their morals down along the way. The intricately designed, shot and edited movie is fast-paced, relentlessly energetic, bold, sensual and funny - a music video rollercoaster ride at times. Writer director John Krokidas achieves an authentic warts-and-all portrayal of artists who can be somewhat burnished as they are lionised. We see, for example, Ginsberg’s first knotty flirtations

with homosexual love; his indulgent failure to save his mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh in operatic form) from sectioning; rich kid William S Burroughs early experiments with strong narcotics; and Jack Kerouac (a charismatic and dynamic performance from Jack huston) letting down his loyal wife (a melancholy elizabeth Olsen). But it’s Radcliffe’s performance you’ll remember—thorough, researched, intricate, brave. And utterly convincing.

NICOLAS ROEG

A STRANGER IN MANY STRANGE LANDS

Danny Boyle recently described Nicolas Roeg as “fierce, uncompromising, iconoclastic, dazzlingly original, he is British film’s Picasso.” having co-directed performance with donald Cammell, roeg quickly established himself as one of cinema’s most original and often-imitated filmmakers. While many have copied his style, few have captured the substance. Roeg repeatedly uproots his characters and leaves them stranded in unfamiliar territory, their surroundings exotic, alluring and frightening. Many of his films use a trademark, non-linear style to dazzling effect, constantly juxtaposing images and sequences to uncover hidden associations of sexuality, religion, death and spirituality. With the publication of the memoir The World Is ever Changing, here is a sampling of Nicolas Roeg’s finest work, of which Neil Sinyard once said: “These are not films to sedate your senses; these are films to blow your mind.”

For this retrospective we present five films from his first decade as director. Walkabout, Roeg’s solo directorial debut, (and our Creative director’s favourite australian movie) will be screened in a recently-restored edition supplied by the British film Institute, which does justice to the exquisite visuals filmed by Roeg himself (his last credit as a cinematographer.) Don’t Look Now is a film that has rightfully earned its position at the top of the time out 100 Best British films poll; the Man Who fell to earth is a picture of epic proportions—this screening will present the complete director’s cut of the film; Bad timing continues to dazzle and unsettle; eureka became one of roeg’s least seen and underrated pictures—it is a challenging picture, which can frustrate those not willing to accept its dazzling visuals and esoteric storytelling, but is hugely rewarding for those who do.

BURNING BUSH GATE MULTIPLEX SUN 10 | 10:00 | GATE

I am honoured to present in its entirety this mesmerising and powerful three part TV mini series as the dramatic cornerstone of our ‘No1 - Activism on Film’ strand.

then Czechoslovakia. Palach’s family seek to preserve his reputation as authorities ‘defamed’ him, claiming he had faked his own death. Meanwhile others are beginning to sacrifice themselves in the same manner. The film climaxes as an upsetting and tense courtroom drama.

Stepan Hulik wrote this script whilst as a film student; his tutor was personally acquainted with the legendary director Agnieszka Holland, and passed it on. And so was born the first major piece of original programming from the revamped and energised HBO europe.

this might have been made for television broadcast - and it has not been in ireland nor the uK - but agnieszka holland’s (europa europa, the Wire, Treme) style is extraordinarily cinematic. This is an opportunity unique to Corkonians to see this sweeping, luscious film on the big screen.

hulik’s script tells the story of the aftermath of student Jan palach’s self-immolation in Wenceslas Square Prague, on 19 January 1969. Twenty years after this event its commemoration triggered the uprising that has become known as the Velvet revolution, leading to the withdrawal of occupying Soviet forces from the

A VIEw FROM MEXICO JaMeS MuLLighan

For a while now, I’ve been increasingly captivated by Mexican cinema, and the world has really started to take notice of the new wave of Mexican filmmakers and documentarians. Think of Carlos Reygadas, whose amazing and weird Post Tenebras Lux won him the Cannes Best Director, 2012. Or, indeed, his protégé Amat Escalante, who won the same prize this year for the astounding Heli (which we are playing in the Festival this year). Perhaps it’s the landscapes that appeal to me, coming from Australia, as I do.

It is with pleasure that I welcome representatives of this fine festival to Cork, bringing with them a package of films and learning that will inspire us all. Drought, Halley, Heli, The Mayor, Who Is Dayani Cristal, revolución and expiration Date: these are all fine, compelling and various movies, making for a rich strand within our own festival. Damos la bienvenida a México en Irlanda!

and then i was invited to speak at the brilliant travelling ambulante documentary film festival earlier this year, and my interest turned into captivation. Here were audiences deeply steeped in their indigenous cinema, who were as passionate about documentary as drama, and who lived—and how they lived!—in these monumental, chaotic, vibrant cities.

TONY PALMER

FILMMAkER IN RESIDENCE

Legendary uk filmmaker and theatre and opera director Tony palmer takes up residency in Cork for the festival to help us celebrate the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Britten, the bicentenary of the birth of richard Wagner, and the recent irish visit of Leonard Cohen. He has a filmography of over 100 titles, traversing as diverse ground as richard Burton documentary in from the Cold? (1988), Shostakovich biopic testimony starring Ben Kingsley (1987), and the beloved Rory Gallagher - Irish Tour (1974)

He will present three films at the Festival. His 7’45” film Wagner (richard Burton, Laurence olivier and Vanessa redgrave), described by the LA Times as ”one of the most beautiful films ever made”, will play in full at the Opera House, in an historic presentation with two full meal breaks. His most recent film nocture, a haunting depiction of Benjamin Britten struggling with his artistic responses to the horrors of the Second World War is compulsory viewing for Britten fans. He will also be present at a free screening for Cork film festival ticket holders of the recently rereleased 1972 Concert film of Leonard Cohen Bird on a Wire.

RICH PICkINGS AT CORk FILM FESTIVAL

Rich Pickings produces film and thought events exploring the most interesting things in the universe. Each event takes one compelling topic and works it over through new and archive film and discussion. At the 58th Cork Film Festival, Rich Pickings will be delivering a series of programmes addressing challenging and topical themes. 99% explores the global and local Occupy movement, its impact and its ongoing legacy. A feature documentary created collaboratively by 99 filmmakers paints a compelling portrait of the occupy Wall Street movement, from personal stories to analysis of the big picture issues. Alongside this will be insights into the Irish Occupy movement, talks from filmmakers and activists and archive shorts approaching ideas of economic fairness and freedom.

Battle for the Brain is an event combining short films about mental illness with discussion around the political and legal landscape of mental health. The shorts programme will be followed by not Criminally responsible, a feature documentary following the journey of a man who stabbed a woman in a shopping mall while gripped by psychosis. The Director, John kastner will be in attendance to discuss the film and associated issues. rewiring the body looks at the rapidly changing relationship between the human body and technology. From experimental fertility treatments to cyborgs and 3D printed exoskeletons, the borders blur between science and fiction as traditional boundaries of the body are crossed. Rich Pickings is curated by filmmaker and cross-platform producer Carla Mackinnon.

NO! - ACTIVISM ON FILM Laptops, occupations, Twitter, YouTube. These are the tools of today’s activists who are standing up and saying “No!”.

resistance against gagging is at the heart of forbidden Voices, which shows how three women have defied government censorship by blogging about their closed countries of Cuba, China and iran, risking their lives in the process.

this year, Cork film festival presents a series of films with a revolutionary spirit, looking at the brave individuals who fight injustice. 99% - The Occupy Wall Street film documents america’s occupy movement which lead the world in mass protest against the ruling elite, whose prime objective is profit over people.

Such self-sacrifice is at the centre of Burning Bush, a three-part HBO film which follows the fight for freedom in communist Czechoslovakia after the death of Jan Palach, the young student who set fire to himself in Prague in January 1969.

the theme of ‘money corrupts’ rings true throughout this programme, not least in Silence is gold, which looks at the corruption of Canada’s mining companies in Africa and the man who outed them.

And our Mexcian friends Ambulante are bringing a portmanteau presentation of shorts - revolucion! with such directors at the helm as amat escalante, Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna and Carlos Reyfadas.

SHORTS@ CORk FILM FESTIVAL

Welcome to our new look Shorts@Cork Film Festival programme, powered by VIMEO. This year’s programme of shorts is certainly expansive but, befitting the short form, it is both concerted and cogent. We’ve overhauled the scheduling to create a ‘shorts festival within a festival’ and crafted a series of thematically led programmes across the Cork, Irish and World shorts programmes. the range and scope of entries for this year’s festival was nothing short of staggering. My team of pre-selectors and I pored over the submissions to create a striking, startling and often provocative series of shorts programmes for your viewing pleasure. The Cork shorts programme remains as the heartbeat of our presentations, with some familiar faces joined by a host of new local directing and acting talent. The Irish programme is bolstered by award winning shorts and animations and some very special guests while the World programme is condensed into six of the absolute best selections, handpicked from our entries with a few special invitations for good measure.

We’re also delighted to welcome the multi-award winning Chris Shepherd to Cork for a retrospective series on his remarkable body of work; his latest short ‘theringer’ is also screening in competition as part of our World Shorts. We’re also incredibly excited to present a focus upon James Broughton the visionary poet and filmmaker with the mantra ‘follow your own weird’. Big Joy, a documentary on his life, is also screening as part of our documentary programme. finally, our awards ceremony will highlight (and provide cash prizes) for the very best Cork, irish and international shorts on offer at this year’s festival. As always, short filmmaking is one of the defining aspects of the Cork Film Festival. And the short film has been around for a very long time, since the birth of cinema and before the long-form feature. So, let’s celebrate this most venerable of art forms in all its wonderfully concentrated glory.

CREATIVE TECH ON SATURDAY 16

NOVEMBER 2013

AT THE 58TH

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION:

20 YEARS SINCE HOMOSEXUALITY wAS DECRIMINALISED IN IRELAND

We are delighted to present Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton, Future My Love, Naked Opera, The Man Whose Mind Exploded, In The Name Of, and India Blues.Revealing the complexities of love and desire, these stories reflect the universality of the human experience and our attempts to find a personal utopia. Encompassing themes of art, freedom, repression and orgasm, these films delve into the psyche, shining a light on what makes us tick. Ranging from the absurd to the profound, this is a standout programme of international work.

A CELEBRATION OF JAMES BROUGHTON

Bohemian ideals, creativity and avant-garde expression has defined the aura of San Francisco since the 1960s. Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Kerouac − all names that defined an era. Yet, before the Beats, there was James Broughton, a polymath whose artistic expression through film and poetry laid the foundation for those to come. Stephen Silha’s life-affirming documentary brings Broughton to the fore, with a wonderful collection of archive footage, interviews and counter-culture ephemera that confirms that Broughton truly was the “outsider’s outsider”. Join us for a Q&A with the director after the screening. to honour the documentary and the great man himself - who would have celebrated his centenary this november - we will be hosting a rare screening of Broughton’s 16mm shorts, including the pleasure garden, which won the poetic Fantasy Award at the 1954 Cannes Film Festival.

NATIONAL SCULPTURE FACTORY:

STRIkE!

A SERIES OF FILMS CURATED BY ARTIST ANTHONY HAUGHEY TO COMMEMORATE THE CENTENARY OF THE 1913 DUBLIN LOCk-OUT.

artist anthony haughey’s response to the national Sculpture factory’s challenge to develop a programme commemorating this centenary was three-fold: cinematic presentations in the factory’s main space of Sergei eisentein’s 1925 debut feature Strike on Thursday 14, and Allan Sekula’s and Noel Burch’s 2010 film essay The Forgotten Space on Friday 15. The Factory also hosts a series of free, publically-generated screenings called democratic Cinema – Cinéma Liberté, running in the Mezzanine in the Factory from Monday 11 to Saturday 16, 12:00 – 21:00.

the festival welcomes back the national Sculpture factory as a programming partners, and is deeply grateful for this considered rich and varied programme, the ideal complement to the Festival’s significant new strand for 2013: No! - Activism In Film.

A FIELD IN ENGLAND-REMIXED:

PERFORMED BY TEETH OF THE SEA, FEATURING THE MUSIC OF JIM wILLIAMS AND BLANCk MASS

TRISkEL CHRISTCHURCH SAT 16 | 21:00 | TCC

A unique audio and visual spectacular, bringing together the cult film of 2013 and one of the most original electronic post-rock bands of recent years for a marriage made in heaven … or hell! england, The english Civil War: A small group of deserters fleeing a raging battle are captured by two men and forced to help them search for hidden treasure. Crossing a vast mushroom circle, which provides their first meal, the group quickly descend into a chaos of arguments, fighting and paranoia, and, as it becomes clear that the treasure might be something other than gold, they slowly become victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field. One of the cult hits of 2013, A Field In england is a psychedelic trip into magic and madness from Ben Wheatley, the award-winning director of down terrace, Kill List and Sightseers. “Teeth of the Sea don’t just make noise, they twist sound into something more sinister and sexy than could ever be measured in mere sonics.” (The Stool Pigeon) The NMe has said they make the stuff a Doctor Who composer might hear in their dreams.

FELIX THE CAT:

THE ORIGINAL MEGASTAR re-scored, written and performed by Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hagan and The High Llamas, in association with The London International Animation Festival (LIAF).

In its time nearly 75 years ago, Felix The Cat was easily the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous animated cartoon. The best Felix cartoons depicted a world in which nothing was ever quite as it seemed. everything had an edge and Felix straddled the excesses of the swinging jazz era and the innocence of cinematic cartoons with consummate ease. every episode contains an eye-popping narrative audacity depicting a simplistic innocence in the age in which Felix ruled. Join the The High Llamas re-scoring the best of Felix, with their lo-fi melodic pop harmony mixed with a dash of sweet psychedelia. Formed in 1991, influences over the years have come from Alex Chilton, the Beach Boys, ornette Coleman, Jimmy Webb, robert Wyatt, John Barry, Bernard Herman and Tropicalia. Signed to both Drag City and duophonic (home to Stereolab), two labels who led the way as the nineties became the noughties for skewered english Krautrock-tinged easy listening pop. thanks to The London International Animation Festival, who were founded in 2003 to aim to dispel the popular misconception that animation is just cartoons for kids by screening the broadest possible range of intelligent, entertaining and provocative films on offer from all.

GIALLO NIGHT

FEATURING A LIVE RESCORE OF AMER (HéLèNE CATTET, BRUNO FORzANI, 2009) BY SERAFINA STEER, PLUS ARGENTO’S SUSPIRIA (1977) AND THE IRISH PREMIERE OF THE STRANGE COLOUR OF YOUR BODY’S TEARS (HéLèNE CATTET, BRUNO FORzANI, 2013)

AMER (Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani, 2009) a little girl is scared in an all-too-quiet beautiful italian villa, with its mysterious presence lurking with the ghosts of childhood. Tormented between desires, fantasies and reality, the film draws heavily on the colours and palettes of italian giallo, beautifully capturing the essences of this cult genre. Tonight, sections of the film will be scored by harpist and songwriter Serafina Steer, whose 2013 album the Moths are real was produced by Jarvis Cocker and was Rough Trade shop’s Album of the Month.

Giallo (plural ‘gialli’) is an Italian 20th-century genre of literature and film, which in Italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In the English language it refers to a genre that includes elements of horror fiction and eroticism. The word ”giallo” is Italian for ”yellow” and stems from the origin of the genre in Italy as a series of cheap paperback mystery novels which all had trademark yellow covers.

SUSPIRIA (Dario Argento, Italy, 1977) the most cult and well-known of argento’s italian horror films, which brought giallo to the world in 1977. American ballet student Suzy Bannion (Jessica harper) transfers to a prestigious dance academy in germany, only to discover that it is controlled by a coven of witches! frequently listed in best films of all time lists, its colours (mainly red), cinematography and lighting, and its classic score by italian prog rockers Goblin, all point to making this film essential viewing, and a staple of the midnight movie scene for decades.

Join us in the suitable setting of triskel for an evening of all things “giallo”, with the Irish premiere of The Strange Colour of Your Body’s tears from the new masters of the genre, the Belgian filmmakers Hélène Cattet and Bruno forzani, alongside a revisiting of their earlier amer with a commissioned live score by harpist and songwriter Serafina. plus a midnight movie of argento’s classic of the genre, Suspiria, from 1977.

FREE RADICALS

if anything can be said to define the Free radicals shorts Programme it is a spirit of unbridled playfulness and joyful exploration. This spirit is also evident in features such as John Torres’ latest, lukas The strange, his first shot on 35mm; in Bernadette Weigel’s Fair Wind - notes of a Traveller, a languid super 8-shot travelogue through eastern europe—a perfect escape during the ever-darkening evenings; and in artist filmmaker sarah Pucill’s magic mirror. shot on 16mm, it captures the haunting and otherworldly imagery of early and surrealist cinema.

Twisted celluloid is the cult movie programme that regularly takes place at Triskel christchurch. during the cork Film Festival there will be four weird and wonderful retro oddities from around the world, each showcasing the different elements that can contribute to a ’cult’ following; offbeat obscene humour with The Telephone Book, terror-drenched sexploitation with The house on straw hill, headscratching psychedelia with an american hippie in israel, and brutal nihilism with Wake in Fright – all films that could only have been created and played in drive-ins and fleapits in the decade that was the 1970s. here is a rare opportunity to see these distinctively unusual movies back on the big screen. you have been warned.

DYLAN MORAN: DESERT ISLAND FLICkS

ROLAND kLICk

Roland Klick is one of the most extraordinary yet under-appreciated directors in the history of German cinema. At the age of fourteen, Klick was certain that cinema was what his soul was longing for. Films such as Deadlock (1970), Supermarkt (1974) and White Star (1983, which starred Dennis Hopper), were exhibitions of filmmaking as an adventure, existential experience and escape from over-structured post-war reality.

his sensibilities were too maladjusted to be a part of the New German Cinema of the 1970s, while also being too unconventional for mainstream cinema. as a result, Klick was marginalised by the critical establishment. Although his films won several German film awards, were internationally acclaimed and achieved cult status, for many years his work was written out of history. His dystopian punk-rock odysseys, acid-drenched Westerns and youth-oriented crime dramas are now ripe for rediscovery.

VASSILY BOURIkAS

Each year, Cork Film Festival collaborates with Cork Film Centre to invite a noted figure from experimental cinema to Cork. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guest is Vassily Bourikas, a Greek programmer internationally renowned for his dedication to challenging accepted versions of avant-garde film history through his curation of work from unjustly neglected film cultures. This programme he has curated and will introduce for this festival, however, focuses on well-known Indian artists Shaina Anand and Ashok Sukumaran.

along with Sanjay Bhangar, anand and Sukumaran established CaMp, a studio for critical transdisciplinary practice in Mumbai in 2007. It includes artists and software programmers who work with experimental video and audio, databases, and systems and their contradictions. CAMP has exhibited and lectured worldwide.

Katie has been a Shorts programmer for Sundance film festival since 2010 and previously worked with short film label Future Shorts in London in both curating their worldwide festival and running their short film distribution label. Alongside her work with short film, she also helped to launch their sister company future Cinema, producing live cinematic events in London, edinburgh and new York where she also worked with punchdrunk on their acclaimed show Sleep no More and helped Vimeo produce and program their nYbased 2012 Festival + Awards.

Jordan started out as a music video editor for creative industry Bible Shots magazine, and contributed regularly to titles including Screen international, reS and Dazed and Confused Magazine. Writing about music videos led to programming events about music videos, and for a long time Jordan got to pick music videos to screen at the British Film Institute. She also curated and hosted screenings for the edinburgh international film festival’s Mirrorball strand and the British Council. Jordan joined Vimeo where she is now their Senior Curator.

The list that follows is an A-Z of all film events in the programme, by film title. There are a couple of exceptions to this. All the short films that play in the Festival, for example, are grouped together thematically, and these programmes then appear together. And so Kibwe Tavares’s staggering hybrid of animation and live action Jonah (Prod.: Ivana MacKinnon) can be found in the A-Z within Shorts@CFF: World 1: Shut Your Mouth, rather than under ‘J’. The same is true of our film and discussion events curated by Rich Pickings, which are grouped together under ‘R’. Each of the films in this list is a narrative / fiction feature, unless otherwise indicated - documentary feature, shorts programme, film + music event, and so on.

other than a snippet of prologue voiceover and the Man (Robert Redford) once howling an expletive this is a silent film.

this is a study of a human being’s innate instinct to survive, our audacity in attempting to tame the sea and our deep love of it. One of the most unique and beautiful films you’ll see this year.

and what a hugely sonically and visually rich, narratively compelling and technically extraordinary one it is, too. The Man awakens to discover that an adrift shipping container has punched a hole into his yacht. An able, strong, resourceful and capable mariner, the Man battles misfortune and diminishing resources until, at the denouement, he can see the whites of his own mortality’s eyes.

Before an american Werewolf in london, there was an american hippie in israel. This recently unearthed counter-culture film, long-forgotten since its release over forty years ago, is a film that has a large cult following in Tel aviv, but has been denied its rightful status as a prime midnight movie throughout the rest of the world. asher Tzarfati plays mike, a dope-smoking vietnam veteran who arrives in israel and immediately hooks up with the free-spirited young women.

Written in the decade that irish poet Louis de paor spent in australia, the two poems didjeridu and an dubh ina gheal (assimilation) question the romance of the Irish experience and reveal the hidden story of the Irish emigrant. These poems have powerful things to say about indigenous australians and the natural affinity de Paor feels, while acknowledging the role that the gael—as a founding people in the story of white australia—had in the dispossession of aboriginal people.

The film’s compelling grip is partly down to Kechiche’s eye as a social observer, partly because of its two lead actors. Seydoux depicts emma with genial wit and toughness, while exarchopoulos is a revelation, offering a fearless, deeply affecting performance of remarkable intensity. The result is something rare – a film that truly catches the messy, mesmerising turbulence of life and love. Jonathan romney, Bfi London film festival programme

When 18-year old Shira’s older sister dies giving birth, the family decides she should marry the widower, for the sake of the child. But the couple both have their doubts. This warm and moving debut feature—with a terrifically assured central performance from Hada Yaron—offers fascinating insights into the subtle machinations and rhythms of this community, and is a gentle riff on Austen-like fascinations with strong female characters making their own way.

“When do you know that a journey has come to an end?” Bernadette Weigel asks herself in Fair Wind Notes Of A Traveller. Her journey carries her east on a barge headed downstream on the danube to Bulgaria, then onward by train, bus, ferry and minibus through Romania, ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan and kazakhstan. the essence of movement lies in the immersion in— rather than the progression through—the world. The cinematic language of Bernadette Weigel’s film essay, shot on super 8mm using asynchronous sound, calls to mind a quote by Paul Celan, “Poetry does not impose itself, it exposes itself.”

MEXICO | 2012 | 84MINS Beto is stuck in a dead-end job as a gym security guard and life seems to be getting him down. Neither is he the most social of people, so even when Silvia, his tough but sympathetic boss, begins to show a special interest in her morose employee his mood remains firmly downcast.

USA | 2012 | 86MINS It is the 70s and this acid flashback of a film trails after a broken-hearted graphic designer. zestfully enthusiastic, he careens through LA in a 1941 Cadillac as his best friends try to pull him out of a surreal spiral of doubt, bewilderment and contemplation. This film begs the question: is it possible to love and hate someone at the same time?

Beto is dead. And he’s having an increasingly hard time dealing with the decomposition. Mixing existentialism with body horror, Halley is a beautifully captured, poignant and surprisingly fresh retelling of the plight of the undead.

HeLI AMAT ESCALANTE

MEXICO, FRANCE, GERMANY, NETHERLANDS 2013 | 105MINS MON 11 | 21:30 | COH

A highlight of our View From Mexico series. “The long opening shot of two lifeless intertwined bodies in a truck, ending with one of the men being hanged, suggests that we’d better get ready for more images of violence. But the next scenes are drawn from the simple life of a young worker, his wife and child, who live in a solitary house on the distant periphery of town together with Heli’s father and young sister estela. We are in a region known for its conflicts between police and the drug mafia, and the sister’s pubescent love for a young police officer unleashes the horrifying wave of violence that precedes the opening shots. A film that immerses itself in the vicious cycle of drugs and violence, culminating in an unbearable scene of torture, heli has

evoked much controversy. The director has been accused of nihilism, but the Cannes jury nevertheless decided to give him the Best Director award. Slow shots of the countryside and the character’s environment, and a tendency towards absurd humor contrasting with realistic depictions of bestial cruelty, betray the influence of Carlos Reygadas, for whom amat escalante worked as an assistant and who helped produce his first films”.

india Blues is an edgy, bold, and passionate love story between two young men who are sometimes afraid to love each other. Through exploring the trivial or important moments in their relationship in real time we are submerged in their universe of love and the feelings that come with it. The intensity of the two characters’ feelings, draws the spectator in the emotional roller-coaster of a love relationship, with all the joy and pain it involves.

Saddened by the news that there would be no more k14 processing, a group of four young friends decide to shoot their last ever kodachrome film. They plan a journey to the very last laboratory (located in parsons - Kansas, uSa) which, until the last hour, would still process this iconic film stock. kodachrome depicts a quiet journey, which is as much about friendship as it is about a dying industry which has been relegated to the trash heap, and a film aesthetic which will be forever be remembered fondly.

April 1974. Julie, an ambitious young Swiss female radio journalist is sent on an assignment to Portugal. accompanying her is veteran reporter Cauvin, a proud and unreconstructed male, and soundman Bob. In Portugal, they hire a translator, a 17-year-old who learned his french through Marcel pagnol movies, and stumble upon the Carnation revolution that overthrew the country’s dictatorship. playful and light-hearted, Longwave is replete with charming period detail and infused with a cinematic joie de vivre.

Margarita is like a smart, illegal immigrant Mexican sexy gay Mary Poppins. She does everything: cooks, cleans, repairs, and pretty much single handedly brings up young Mali. And so Ben and Gail are devastated when financial pressure means they’ll have to let her go. What’s worse, when Margarita moved to Canada, she failed to obtain the requisite visa. What can the family - and Margarita’s closeted girlfriend - do to keep their treasured employee? this fun, warm and loving family drama closed the 2013 Bfi London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. produCer reChna VarMa

The fifty-seven-year-old Latin teacher lives in a tiny apartment in Berne, walks to school every day where he teaches a subject most of his students have little interest in and, at night, unable to sleep, plays chess with himself. One morning, raimund spots a woman in a red leather jacket about to throw herself into the river. He saves her life and sparks a chain of events which may unwittingly save his own.

Uk | 2013 | 135MINS marking the centenary of Benjamin Britten, nocturne is the fifth of Palmer’s films with or about Britten, one of the great British composers of the 20th century. This film explores Britten’s uneasy relationship to the wider world. The bloodiest century in history profoundly affected Britten, not just because he was a committed pacifist, but on a much deeper level. What is the role of the artist in such a troubled world? What are his responsibilities? What is the nature of creativity itself? What is its function? does it have a function?

NOTHING BAD CAN HAPPEN (TORE TANzT)

stéPhane cazes

Katrin GeBBe

FRANCE | 2012 | 95MINS A hugely satisfying mix of gritty social realism and heightened melodrama, ombline will tug at even the tautest of heartstrings. Our twenty year old eponymous heroine is sentenced to three years for a violent assault, and not long after discovers she is pregnant. Little Lucas is born inside, and ombline must learn to overcome not just adversity but also herself in order to convince the authorities to let her keep him. A powerful and redemptive joy.

GERMANY | 2013 | 110MINS The irony drips from the title: very bad things indeed do happen, and to the most innocent of us all. But for self-confessed young Jesus freak tore, things surely are for a reason, and set to instantly improve. The guileless tore has fallen in with a family with a dark heart, which concentrates its malice on him, in a slowly crescendoing series of cruelties and humiliations. An excellent and accomplished debut feature that holds a magnifying glass to the bestial rottenness that lurks within us all.

Starting from the provocative premise that political and commercial regimes regard us as ‘subjects of pleasure’, controlling us by offering us enjoyment, director Sophie Fiennes and charismatic philosopher Slavoj Žižek repeat the formula of their 2006 collaboration, The Pervert’s Guide To Cinema.

example, dressed as a chubbier, bearded Travis Bickle, he expounds the darker subtexts of Taxi Driver’s plot from within the anti-hero’s grotty apartment. This entertaining approach helps to ensure that what might otherwise have been a dense, even daunting, intellectual challenge is actually an engaging and unexpected delight.

The quirky, genial Žižek employs cleverly chosen clips from a huge variety of movies—including Brazil, M*a*S*h, the Sound of Music, and Brief encounter—to illustrate his fascinating monologue, frequently appearing on sets and in costumes that replicate scenes from the films in question. For

Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of the punk band Bikini Kill and dance-punk trio Le Tigre, rose to international attention as the reluctant but never shy voice of the riot grrrl movement. She became one of the most famously outspoken feminist icons, a cultural lightning rod. Her critics wished she would just shut-up, and her fans hoped she never would. So in 2005, when Hanna stopped shouting, many wondered why. Through 20 years of archival footage and intimate interviews with Hanna, The Punk Singer takes viewers on a fascinating tour of contemporary music and offers a never-before-seen view into the life of this fearless leader. produCerS taMra daViS, gWen BiaLiC, raCheL dengiz, erin oWenS, aLan oxMan

FRANCE | 2012 | 75MINS after 9 years in the making, novelist rachid djaïdani feature debut arrives with its immediacy and energy remarkably intact. If La Haine was a warning from the banlieue in 1995, Rengaine offers a warmer view of race relations in multicultural Paris. pulsating with the spirit of Cassevetes, rengaine centres on the plight of dorcy, a black Christian actor, when his Algerian fiancé’s 40 brothers hear about their betrothal.

AUSTRALIA | 2013 | 90MINS ruin is an impressionistic fable, the story of phirun (rous Mony) and Sovanna (Sang Malen), two young lovers inexplicably drawn together who escape a brutal and exploitative world of crime and violence in modern day Cambodia. Fleeing Phnom Penh after a murder, they travel deeper into the jungle. As their vulnerable love ebbs and flows along their journey, they wake from the trauma of their former lives and unleash a violent rage upon the world. Love and death intermingle as they travel deeper into the abyss, their world strangely transforming around the two young lovers on the run.

Not Criminally Responsible is a documentary telling the story of a troubled young man who stabbed a complete stranger six times in a crowded shopping mall while gripped by psychosis. Twelve years later, his victim, who miraculously survived, is terrified to learn that he’s out in the community under supervision. He’s applying for an absolute discharge, and if he succeeds, he’ll no longer be required to take antipsychotic drugs. With unprecedented access to the patient, the victim, and the mental institution, the film looks at both sides of the debate and puts a human face on the complex ethical issues raised.

Prior to the feature will be a diverse programme of shorts looking at mental illness, stigma and treatment.

Ten voices at the forefront of Mexican cinema join together to celebrate the centenary of the Mexican revolution. In 1910, amid rampant political and social unrest in Mexico, revolutionaries rose up against the government. This November, one hundred years later, and again amid political and social strife, Mexico City’s zocalo Square once again resounds with the celebratory cry of the Mexican Revolution. adding their voices to the cries are the makers of Revolución, an extraordinary omnibus of ten short films by Mexico’s top talents, each of whom provide perspectives as distinctive as the ideals of the revolutionaries who fought together so long ago.

From the quiet to the fierce, the poignant to the political, Revolución casts a colourful and caustic eye over today’s Mexico: a country bursting with social contradictions and bold cinematic talent. As the directors present their individual takes on their homeland, our appreciation for the country deepens, even when the film brings into question rarely examined issues of longstanding traditions and blind patriarchy. Backed by the Mexican Film Institute, who granted the filmmakers complete creative control, Revolución captures the complex character of contemporary Mexico. -- World Cinema Amsterdam

Having dated him since high school, Silvi has never been with anyone else. Silvi re-enters the dating game.

‘Antipodes’ are places on the earth’s surface which are diametrically opposed; drill through the centre of the earth from Entre Rios in Argentina, and you’ll hit Shanghai. The masterful Russian documentarian and film essayist visits four such antipodal pairs, and compares and contrasts the landscapes and lives found there. These contrived pairings throw up some extraordinarily rich and cinematic images—vast landscapes contrasted with demonically energetic cityscapes, or people living in a wasteland contrasted with those living near a seeping, creaking lava flow.

a man (John Meillon) brings his teenage daughter (Jenny agutter) and her younger brother (Luc roeg) into the wilds. He has driven there to commit suicide, with the intention of taking his children with him. They flee, only to find themselves stranded in the outback where they must learn to survive in a world alien to them. Along the way, they meet an aboriginal boy (david gulpilil) as he undertakes his ‘walkabout’, a rite of passage in which he must venture in the wilderness by himself, initiating him into manhood.

Playing this extraordinary instrument is virtuoso Suzanne Binet-Audet. In one of Wavemaker’s most memorable scenes she visits a visibly awestruck Jonny greenwood, the Radiohead lynchpin a shy fanboy in her presence. as seduced by its scope and mystery as any of the characters in her film, Martel has composed a fitting ode to the instrument, its inventor, and its modern day disciples.

When a spontaneous prank lands them in their local youth club’s rehearsal space, the two friends begin toying with the idea of forming a band of their own. The only problem is, neither of them can play an instrument.

As we travel north, these voices from south of the united States border give us a rare insight into the human stories that are so often ignored in the immigration debate.

wHAT IS THIS FILM CALLED LOVE?

XLMarteinn thorsson

MarK cousins

ICELAND | 2013 | 87MINS

Yes, this is a harrowing fable about moral turpitude, alcoholism, selfishness, societal decay and, at times, a deeply uncomfortable watch. But, thanks to the sheer brio of Marteinn Thorsson’s filmmaking and an astoundingly compelling frequently hilarious lead performance, this film is one of the most fun rides i have had in the cinema this year. Deeply political as well, these paradoxes remind one of how complex and brilliantly illuminating cinema can simultaneously be.

Uk | 2012 | 78MINS In 2011, Irish filmmaker and critic Mark Cousins made a stupendous 900 minute series on the history of film, The Story Of Film: An Odyssey. Watch it. As one might expect, his next project was small—just short of an hour and a half, and made for ten quid on the fly as he visited Mexico City. He walks miles and miles each day, holding a laminated picture of Sergei eisenstein, and asking him hypothetical questions, endeavouring to see through his hero’s eyes. This is a deeply personal and raw, refreshing piece of cinema on cinema.

having travelled the world and struggled to start a career, Sarah (30) is forced to live back home with her mother. Over the summer Sarah strikes up a friendship with two teenage boys, spurred on as she reclaims her youth, but new extremes threaten to bring reality crashing back.

YOU AND THE NIGHT /

Bani Khoshnoudi

LES RENCONTRES D’APRES MINUIT

IRAN, FRANCE | 2012 | 82 MIN through the character of ziba, an upper-class housewife in today’s Tehran, we experience the asphyxiation lived on a daily basis by Iranians. unable to relate to her environment, ziba leads an alienated life, caught in the repetitive motions of the everyday and unable to express to those around her what is wrong. One long summer day, ziba finds herself in an unexpected situation in the company of people unknown to her, confronted with her own choices and indecisions.

FRANCE | 2013 | 88MINS Films about sex are often the least sexy of affairs but You and the night elevates a potentially unpromising chamber piece above the realms of camp classic into something stylish, daring and imbued with a cosmic sense of spectacle. The soundtrack, courtesy of the director’s brother’s band M83, provides a widescreen surround-sound brio that doesn’t feel cheaply earned. And who can resist a film that stars eric Cantona as The Stud, a frustrated poet with a large appendage? do’M

FRANCE | 2013 | 102MINS Little else was excitedly talked about in France in 2009 than the astounding story of toni Musulin, a quiet, impeccably mannered security guy with responsibility for transporting huge amounts of cash who one day vanished with nearly €20m. On one level, this is an exciting, Robin Hood style crime romp dramatic reconstruction. But it’s something deeper and richer as well, as we get to know the writers’, director’s and actor’s character reconstruction (none had access to the real life perpetrator, who is still doing time)—more, perhaps, a slice of social realism.

TURkEY, GERMANY, FRANCE | 2012 | 96MINS haunted by a tragic incident, nihat has isolated himself by becoming a fire warden and withdrawing to a remote observation tower. At a nearby rural bus station, Seher has taken a job as a hostess to escape her own past. Reluctantly choosing companionship over isolation, the pair develops an uneven domestic partnership after their lives are brought together and their pasts are exposed. produCerS toLga eSMer, nida KaraBoL aKdeniz, peLin eSMer
