What the Snow Brings During a suicide attack on an airport, the hand grenade of M, one of three terrorists, malfunctions and he is captured. Exposed to maltreatment in prison he slowly loses his grip on reality, as he is forced to confront his ide- ological convictions. Director Masao Adachi is a living legend of Japanese political cinema, known for his experimental film work in the early ’60s and his collaborations with Nagisa Oshima and Koji Wakamatsu in films like Diary of a Shinjuku Thief and Ecstasy of Angels. In 1974, disillusioned with Japanese cinema, Adachi left Japan for the Middle East, to join the pro- Palestinian cause. After being extradited back to Japan in 2001, Adachi’s first film in 35 years is inspired by the Japanese Red Army member Kozo Okamoto, who was imprisoned by the Israelis after perpetrating the infa- mous massacre at Lod Airport in 1972.

A hugely provocative and ambitious work, this W www.prisoner-m.com is guaranteed to provoke a great deal of controversy and debate. JS This latest example of the Japanese softcore pink film to play at Raindance begins with squid-jigging Haruo as he attempts to land a legendary tenta- cled whopper reported to be hiding somewhere out in Tokyo Bay, while his girlfriend Rika lends her enthusiastic support despite the lingering pres- ence of a jealous ex named Iwata. Then Haruo’s roguish Uncle Takashi arrives in town to further rock the boat, looking for ‘a new start’ and a place to stay for a while. A natural born loser, Uncle Takashi proves quite a handful for Haruo, permanently quaff- ing vitamin drinks while trying to get it on with every female within reach and literally marking his territory by scrawling his name on their bare backs with a red marker pen once the act is done. Things take a more serious turn for the worse however, when while praying at a Shinto shrine, Takashi receives a deadly shot of venom from UNCLE’S PARADISE [OJISAN TENGOKU/ ZETSURIN…] a snake which transfixes itself to his privates, and he is whisked off to the MONDAY 1 OCTOBER AT 9:15PM land of the dead.

There his elder brother Takeo manages a stable for Banei horseracing, a sleigh-pulling race unique to Hokkaido. Their long overdue reunion exposes the distance and estrange- ment between the two brothers. At first Takeo refuses to let his brother meet their aged mother living in a nursing home. However, while he watch- es Manabu interact with the quirky characters working in the stables and the horses, as they face the challenges of racing on a daily basis, a new understanding soon develops between the two brothers.

In 1748, at the height of the slave trading era, English trader John Newton sails to the coast of Nigeria. Daily life is interrupted with great force and brutality; homes and villages are burned as families are rounded up before being placed captive in dungeons to await the transatlantic crossing. As Newton sets sail with his new cargo of slaves, his ship is afflicted by a violent storm which almost kills him. It is here that Newton is forced to re-evaluate his life. He attributes his miraculous escape to the amazing grace of God.

JS This dazzling tribute to the silent movie owes much to cinematic masters such as Fritz Lang, Luis Buñuel and Tim Burton, but it still manages to exhibit a fresh imagination all of its own. The film takes place in an unnamed city where the inhabitants have had their voices stolen by the evil media mogul, Mr TV. He has the populace hooked on fast-food dinners and broadcasts featuring a mysterious and uniquely vocal female known only as The Voice. Mr TV has further plans for the city without a voice and only a young girl, her father and a blind boy stand in his way.

AD Set in impoverished rural Brazil, this town is not the kind of place where a young girl can look to her grandfather for kindness and protection. Heitor, for instance, has his granddaughter, the pubescent Auxilidora, cleaning his house by day, while at night he parades her naked behind the filling station, where workers from the local sugar plantation pay to watch her while mas- turbating. In a land where misogyny and violence towards women is the norm she is lucky to be able to enjoy simple flirtations with the boy digging the cesspit beside Heitor’s house. But soon her beauty has caught the eye of violent thug Everado (played by City of God’s Matheus Nachtergaele) making her situation even more dangerous. With its tone similar to that of The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael (Raindance ’05) Bog of Beasts is not exactly an easy watch, despite its most gruesome scene being given a welcome stylistic handling.

    Friday 28th November 2014 - ĊAK, Birkirkara Argo The movie was fake. The mission was real. 120 minutes –Drama/Thriller – 12 October 2012 (USA) Acting under the cover of a Hollywood producer scouting a location for a science fiction film, a CIA agent launches a dangerous operation to rescue six Americans in Tehran during the U.S. hostage crisis in Iran in 1980. Director: Ben Afflek Writers: Chris Terrio (screenplay), Tony Mendez (based on a selection from "The Master of Disguise" by), Joshuah Bearman (based on the Wired Magazine article "The Great Escape" by) Original Music: Alexandre Desplat Actors Ben Affleck ... Tony Mendez Bryan Cranston ... Jack O'Donnell Alan Arkin ... Lester Siegel John Goodman ... John Chambers Victor Garber ... Ken Taylor Tate Donovan ... Bob Anders Clea DuVall ... Cora Lijek Scoot McNairy ... Joe Stafford Rory Cochrane ... Lee Schatz Christopher Denham ... Mark Lijek The story After Iranian militants stormed and took control of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November 1979 taking 56 Americans as hostages, six Americans managed to get away and took refuge in the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor. After two months of the Canadians putting their lives on the line everyday, the CIA and the US State Department try to come up with a plan to get their people out. Tony Mendez is an "ex filtration" specialist who proposes that they pose as a Canadian film crew scouting locations for a science fiction movie called Argo. Using Hollywood connections, Mendez creates a back story for the movie - ads in Variety, casting calls, inviting the media to a production launch - and then heads off to Iran to lead the six Americans out.

I’m not over-budget or under-budget because I haven’t got a budget. —Pacific Film Archive founder Sheldon Renan in a February 1971 interview FOR AN INSTITUTION WITH SUCH A JERRY-BUILT INCEPTION, the Pacific Film Archive (PFA) has not done too badly for itself as it progresses through its fourth decade of exist- ence. The numbers tell a small part of the story: a permanent collection of over 10,000 films and videos (stored in temperature- and humidity-controlled vaults); a study center whose holdings include more than 7,600 books on film history, theory, criticism, and reference, 150 international film periodical titles, over 95,000 clipping files, 36,000 film stills, and 7,500 posters; and an exhibition program of approximately 500 film presentations each year serving an audience of over 50,000 viewers from the Berkeley campus and around the Bay Area. Beyond statistics, it is the magnificent array of programs the Pacific Film Archive of- fers that provides a broader understanding of this vital institution. Many audience members and professionals throughout the film archive com- munity would agree that the exhibition program at PFA is among the most richly varied and com- prehensive shown anywhere, presenting avant- garde and experimental film, classic Hollywood, international cinema (from Iran to Finland to China to Brazil), video art, silent film, ethno- graphic film, and more.

Wilson, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2015 During the mid-1950s to the early 1970s a subversive cinema, known as the Japanese New Wave, arose in Japan. This dissertation challenges critical trends that use French New Wave cinema and the oeuvre of Oshima Nagisa as templates to construct Japanese New Wave cinema as largely male-centered and avant-garde in its formal aesthetics. I argue instead for the centrality of the erotic woman to a questioning of national and postwar identity in Japan, and for the importance of popular cinema to an understanding of this New Wave movement. In short, this study aims to break new ground in Japanese New Wave scholarship by focusing on issues of gender and popular aesthetics.
