DIRECTOR

SELECTIONS Christopher Nolan

I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am.”

Michael Moore

“I don't compromise my values and I don't compromise my work. That's why I've been kicked from one network to the next: I won't give in.”

David Cronenberg

“My dentist said to me the other day: I’ve enough problems in my life, so why should I see your films?”

Guy Ritchie

A story of sex, thugs and rock ‘n roll.”

DIRECTOR

BRIEF

Guy Stuart Ritchie is a British director whose films include ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and ‘Sherlock Holmes.’ He was married to Madonna for eight years. Born on September 10, 1968, in Hertfordshire, England, director Guy Ritchie was lauded for his debut feature film, the crime caper Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998). He stepped further into the spotlight by marrying pop star Madonna; the marriage lasted from 2000 to 2008. Ritchie’s career hit a low point with Swept Away (2002), but he found success again when he directed Sherlock Holmes (2009) and its 2011 sequel, with a remake of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) to follow. Ritchie’s career took off once more with his film adaptation of Sherlock Holmes (2009), as well as its sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011). Both films, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, were massive successes at the box office, earning more than $1 billion combined worldwide. In the fall of 2013, Ritchie began filming a big screen adaptation of the spy TV series The 1.3

Man from U.N.C.L.E., featuring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. The film is slated for a mid-August 2015 release. Filmography: 1995 The Hard Case 1998 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels 2000 Snatch 2001 The Hire: Star 2001 Mean Machine 2002 Swept Away 2005 Revolver 2007 Suspect 2008 RocknRolla 2009 Sherlock Holmes 2011 Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows 2015 The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2017 Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur In London, a real-estate scam puts millions of pounds up for grabs, attracting some of the city’s scrappiest tough guys and its more established underworld types, all of whom are looking to get rich quick. While the city’s seasoned criminals vie for the cash, an unexpected player -- a drugged out rock ‘n’ roller presumed to be dead but

very much alive -- has a multi-million dollar prize fall into his hands. Director: Guy Ritchie Writer: Guy Ritchie Stars: Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Idris Elba According to director Guy Ritchie, this is the first in a trilogy. Before the credits, there is a title card that reads “The Wild Bunch will return in The Real RockNRolla”, hinting that this will be the title of the next installment. Christopher Nolan said that it was his performance in this film that convinced him to cast Tom Hardy in Inception (2010) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

CONCEPT Then try to figure out what this film festival is all about...one day at a time


CONCEPT

FILM SELECTION After serious considerations, these five Guy Ritchie’s films were selected. The choice was based on style, time period, location and plot. The films selected were the only ones that were shot mainly in London, with a cockney language style, a plot of some sort of criminal sceme, and at the time of roughly the 1990s or early 2000s.

2.1


2.0 CONCEPT | 2.2


CONCEPT

AUDIENCE Young Professionals who are tired of their daily routines and are eager to find exotic stimulation and excitement. This film festival will take place in London, an exotic place where everyone wants to take a peek at; an exciting city where a lot of crimes are happening everyday; an extraordinary achievement with all the culture and attractions.

2.3



CONCEPT

2.5


What is the story behind all five of the films? What is the idea that holds the stories together and leads the way of all the design for the festival?

THREAD

Rookie thugs don’t realize they are pawns of a violent game until things get out of control. But the odds are always in their favor.

GUIDING NARRATIVE

Gangsters are running for their lives from a rival gang in an east London backstreet where a string of chaotic events are accidentally set off.

2.0 CONCEPT | 2.6


CONCEPT

These two things look innocently simple, but they took me two months to develop and perfect.

TITLE

Bloody Bastards

SUBTITLE

Hooligans dodge the bullet in the cockney underworld.

2.7


2.0 CONCEPT | 2.8


CONCEPT

LOGO The logo should have the spirit of the thread, the feeling of the films and a clear indication of what the films are about. I went through a lot of ideas but only one survived to the last. It was inspired by the cockney language, a pun that in England is just a simple swear, but more literal in the U.S.

DOODLE Based on Kurt Vonnegut’s work about “the shapes of stories“, this is how Guy Ritchie’s stories looks like. The guys in his films usually find themselves in deep trouble at first, but they have a plan to get out. Just when they think they had it, everything goes south even more. In the process of trying to get out of the deeper trouble, they get involved with more people who seems to have no business in the mess, but actually has everything to do with it. Eventually, those guys in the beginning get out of trouble by reasons they don’t even know, which we can only blame chance.

A poster should catch the spirit of the whole festival. I had this idea of having everything hung at a 15 degree angle, creating a feeling of unbalancing, perfectly reflecting the chaotic situations in Guy Ritchie’s films.
