Depuis ses premiers films au milieu des années 1990, Christian Petzold n’a eu de cesse de radiographier les paysages de cette Allemagne réunifiée, entièrement capitaliste, « d’un non-lieu à un autre non-lieu », et la difficulté à les habiter.

International Casting Directors Network Index
International Casting Directors Network Index 01 Welcome 02 About the ICDN 04 Index of Profiles 06 Profiles of Casting Directors 76 About European Film Promotion 78 Imprint 79 ICDN Membership Application form Gut instinct and hours of research “A great film can feel a lot like a fantastic dinner party. Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy. -
CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and Counting…
5 JAN 18 1 FEB 18 1 | 5 JAN 18 - 1 FEB 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and counting… As you’ll spot deep within this programme (and hinted at on the front cover) January 2018 sees the start of a series of films that lead up to celebrations in October marking the 40th birthday of Filmhouse as a public cinema on Lothian Road. We’ve chosen to screen a film from every year we’ve been bringing the very best cinema to the good people of Edinburgh, and while it is tremendous fun looking back through the history of what has shown here, it was quite an undertaking going through all the old programmes and choosing what to show, and a bit of a personal journey for me as one who started coming here as a customer in the mid-80s (I know, I must have started very young...). At that time, I’d no idea that Filmhouse had only been in existence for less than 10 years – it seemed like such an established, essential institution and impossible to imagine it not existing in a city such as Edinburgh. My only hope is that the cinema is as important today as I felt it was then, and that the giants on whose shoulders we currently stand feel we’re worthy of their legacy. I hope you can join us for at least some of the screenings on this trip down memory lane... And now, back to the now. -
Scene and Heard: a Profile of Laura Colella
Scene and Heard: A Profile of Laura Colella She sits quietly in a coffee shop, waiting. She is of small stature, and fine boned. She has striking eyes and a beautiful face, one that easily could be in front of the camera. Providence born and raised, no one she knew ever talked about becoming a filmmaker. She is definitely under the radar – but is soaring very high. This is Laura Colella. In her 44 years, she has managed to impress some very important people in the film world. One of those folks is Paul Thomas Anderson – the same Paul Thomas Anderson who wrote and directed The Master, There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights and my personal favorite (and I believe his), Magnolia. Last February, he hosted a screening of her film Breakfast with Curtis in LA, and held a lengthy Q & A session afterward. In the same month, at the Independent Spirit Awards, the film was nominated for the John Cassavetes Award for Best Feature made for under $500,000, and won a $50,000 distribution grant from Jameson. Her love of film started early. She grew up heavily involved in theater, was in a few productions at Trinity Rep, and worked there as a production assistant. “My first year in college at Harvard, my boyfriend took me to the end-of-year film screenings at RISD, which opened up that world of possibility for me. I discovered the excellent film department at Harvard, which centered on 16MM production, became totally immersed in it, and never looked back.” Laura now has three features under her belt – Tax Day, her first, for which she received a special equipment grant through the Sundance Institute, portrays two women on their way to the post office on that dreaded day, April 15. -
The Dissipating Aura of Cinema by Kristen Daly
2/18/2016 TRANSFORMATIONS Journal of Media & Culture ISSN 14443775 2007 Issue No. 15 — Walter Benjamin and the Virtual The Dissipating Aura of Cinema By Kristen Daly For over one hundred years, moving images have been recorded onto frames on expensive celluloid tape and projected by fairly simple machines. This has been a remarkably reliable way of recording and exhibiting, but also a remarkably static media technology. Films cannot easily be reproduced, delivered or manipulated. The film print costs between two and three thousand dollars and can be over a mile long. In many ways, the film reel had resisted the characteristics attributed to it in Walter Benjamin’s “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.” Robert Flaherty dropped a cigarette on his original edited version of Nanook of the North (1922) destroying his only print. He had to organize an entire second expedition north to gather footage and again edit it into the version we know today (Canudo). Film ages and degrades, so it is estimated that less than ten percent of the earliest films currently exist. Only with the introduction of digital and computer technologies have Benjamin’s expectations of cinema been brought to fruition. Reproducibility, or as William J. Mitchell terms it “digital replication” of cinema, has brought about a diminishing aura, and a “tremendous shattering of tradition” as movies have morphed from ritual art objects into “fragments of information that circulate in the high-speed networks now ringing the globe and that can be received, transformed, and recombined like DNA to produce new intellectual structures having their own dynamics and value” (52). -

18 JAN 19 28 FEB 19 1 | 18 JAN 19 - 28 FEB 19 49 BELMONT STREET | BELMONTFILMHOUSE.COM What does it mean, ‘to play against type’? Come January/February you may find many examples. Usually it’s motivated by the opportunity to hold aloft a small gold-plated statue, but there are plenty memorable occasions where Hollywood’s elite pulled this trope off fantastically. Think Charlize Theron in Monster. Maybe Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine? Or Heath Ledger as Joker. These performances often come to dominate award season. Directors wrenching a truly transformative rendition out of their leads can be the difference between a potential big winner fading into obscurity, or being written into history. The class of 2019 appears particularly full of these turns. There might well be as much intrigue in figuring out which will be remembered, as in watching the performances themselves. ‘Unrecognisable as’ awards could go out to Margot Robbie as Elizabeth I in Mary Queen Of Scots; Melissa McCarthy in Can You Ever Forgive Me?; Nicole Kidman in Destroyer; Christian Bale as Dick Cheney in Vice. Others of course have been down this road before. Steve Carell has come a long, long way since Michael Scott and he looks tremendous in Beautiful Boy. And Matt Dillon, who we’ll see in The House That Jack Built, has always had a penchant for the slightly off-colour. There’s probably no one more off-colour than Lars von Trier. Screening for one night only. At Belmont Filmhouse we try to play against type as much as possible. -

Morricone’s career spanned almost 70 years and included groundbreadking scores for films of many genres. His compositions incorporated music performed by orchestras and ensembles of all sizes, playing many different instruments and even incorporating seemingly non-instrumental sounds such as the famous coyote-like howling in the opening of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. These films are a list of the 10 most mind- blowing film scores, compiled by Randall Roberts of the LA Times. The Mission The The H8tful Eight "I really like conducting my music in concerts because I'm convinced it's not just (1986) Untouchables (2015) for films; it has its own life. It can live far away from the images of the movie."

These focus group screenings have been an essential tool used by studios to evaluate audience response to upcoming films and TV series and to generate pre-release press coverage and buzz on social media. -

Philippe Garrel Rétrospective 18 Septembre – 20 Octobre
PHILIPPE GARREL RÉTROSPECTIVE 18 SEPTEMBRE – 20 OCTOBRE Les Baisers de secours L’ART DE L’INSTANT Digne successeur de la Nouvelle Vague, Philippe Garrel fait des films à la première personne. Le cinéma lui sert à restituer les pulsations de la vie. Vie affective avant tout. Le couple ou la difficulté de rester ensemble, scan- dés de film en film, de façon obsessionnelle. L’enfant, comme onde de choc. Et puis la politique qui entretient avec l’amour passionnel un lien immuable. Expérimental au commencement (Le Révélateur, La Cicatrice intérieure), son cinéma devient plus narratif à partir des Baisers de secours. L’introspection reste intacte. Séparation (J’entends plus la guitare) et fin des idéaux (Les Amants réguliers), autant de variations autour des femmes de sa vie, de la naissance à la mort de l’amour. La dernière fois, c’était il y a quinze ans. La précédente rétrospective de l’œuvre de Philippe Garrel à La Cinémathèque française date de juin 2004. Depuis, ce cinéma de l’expérience n’a ni faibli ni renoncé. N’a pas capitalisé, ni voulu s’édifier en quelconque règle. Il a continué, avec une régularité prodigieuse, à poursuivre une idée, à tisser une ligne de vie. Celle-ci a pris, plusieurs fois, de façon de plus en plus violente, la forme d’un doute, d’une remise en question. Les films se sont enchaînés, intriqués, répondus (avec ceci de drôle, chez Garrel : souvent, quand un film surgit, le titre du film précédent l’éclaire davantage : L’Ombre des femmes aurait pu s’appeler La Jalousie, L’Amant d’un jour pourrait facilement être titré L’Ombre des femmes.
