With vast libraries of film and television a mere finger tap away for many of us, it behoves any film festival to choose more carefully than ever. At the speed with which today’s audiences demand access to films, our haul from May’s Cannes Film Festival sits squarely with the zeitgeist – but our commitment to getting Inherent Vice, one of the great American films of late 2014, onto the giant screen in July 2015 almost looks like a nostalgic gesture. That is, until you are sitting in the Regent completely absorbed in the present tense of the film’s unique fictional universe. Programming NZIFF is more than ever about celebrating the public occasion of movie-going, privileging the big screen experience and enlivening the interaction between films and audiences, ideally with the filmmakers present to contribute in person. The only challenge about finding 100 or so films that fit that agenda in 2015 was finding even more. What a fantastic asset to Dunedin film lovers the Regent is, with its brilliant 4K projection and superb sound. We greatly appreciate the continuing support of the Otago Theatre Trust in providing NZIFF the Dunedin venue that’s a festival in its own right. Thanks too to the Rialto, a year-round bastion of creative programming, for making us so welcome. We never forget that it’s the support of its audience that keeps NZIFF alive and kicking. Ticket sales contributed 88% of our national income in 2014. The major sponsorship we receive from the New Zealand Film Commission is a gratifying institutional endorsement of that support, and we appreciate it immensely. We welcome Resene for their second year as sponsors of myriad films from New Zealand filmmakers. Māori Television and RadioLIVE are great media partners. NEC very generously escorted us into the digital era and remain highly valued supporters now that we are fully ensconced. There is not one film print at this year’s festival of film. We’re all of us aboard this enterprise because filmmakers gave whatever it took to get their pictures into the world in the first place. So one wanted to contemplate the immanence of the past in a Thai hospital; another to orchestrate the comic misunderstandings of a Latin Lothario’s ex-wives; another to count the ways you can bludgeon a zombie with an oversize dildo? We hope team NZIFF’s advocacy of their many achievements will help lead you to the explorations that mean the most to you.

SHORT SYNOPSIS IN THE SAME BREATH, directed by Nanfu Wang (“One Child Nation”), recounts the origin and spread of the novel coronavirus from the earliest days of the outbreak in Wuhan to its rampage across the United States. In a deeply personal approach, Wang, who was born in China and now lives in the United States, explores the parallel campaigns of misinformation waged by leadership and the devastating impact on citizens of both countries. Emotional first-hand accounts and startling, on-the-ground footage weave a revelatory picture of cover-ups and misinformation while also highlighting the strength and resilience of the healthcare workers, activists and family members who risked everything to communicate the truth. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I spent a lot of my childhood in hospitals taking care of my father, who had rheumatic heart disease.

  • Tim and John Fell in Love at Their All‐Boys High School While Both Were Teenagers
    Tim and John fell in love at their all‐boys high school while both were teenagers. John was captain of the football team; Tim an aspiring actor playing the lead in Romeo and Juliet. Their romance endured for 15 years to laugh in the face of everything life threw at it – the separations, the discriminations, the temptations, the jealousies and the losses – until the only problem that love can’t solve, tried to destroy them. Ryan Corr and Craig Stott star in this remarkable true‐life story as Timothy Conigrave and John Caleo, whose enduring love affair has been immortalised in both Tim’s hilarious cult‐classic memoir and Tommy Murphy’s award‐winning stage play of the same name. Murphy has adapted Tim’s book for the screen. Trumps has been offered complimentary preview tickets! We invite you and a guest to an advance screening of HOLDING THE MAN directed by Neil Armfield and starring Ryan Corr, Craig Stott, Anthony LaPaglia, Kerry Fox, Sarah Snook and Guy Pearce.

  • This Film Is a Poem 1,380 Words
    This Film is A Poem 1,380 words - by Cynthia Close - published in 2016 in Documentary magazine- Review of the newly remastered Criterion released A Poem is a Naked Person, by Les Blank commissioned by Leon Russell, shot from 1972-74. Blu-Ray edition contains: *90 minute restored feature A Poem is a Naked Person *New conversation between musician Leon Russell and Harrod Blank, Les Blank’s son *Excerpts from a 2013 Q&A with Les Blank *The new documentary, A Film’s Forty-year Journey: The Making of “A Poem is a Naked Person”, 2016 *Out in the Woods, a short documentary by Maureen Gosling *An Essay by critic Kent Jones Why has A Poem is a Naked Person, a film Les Blank considered the greatest he ever made, remained virtually unknown and unseen, until now, over forty years after it was completed? An answer to this question can be found in the newly restored, Criterion released Blu-Ray DVD. It is clear that such a project would never have happened if it were not for the persistence and memory of “being there”, of Harrod Blank, Les Blank’s son. As a young boy, tagging along with his filmmaker dad in the backwaters of 1970’s Oklahoma he drew admiring portraits in magic marker of Leon Russell, the intended subject of his father’s film. It was the year following the release of Mad Dogs and Englishmen, a classic concert film starring Joe Cocker and Russell who at that time was at the peak of his fame. Russell was an accomplished pianist, session musician, and star performer who was in the process of building a top notch studio and music compound ninety minutes outside of Tulsa when he and his then-partner Denny Cordell commissioned Les Blank to make what they may have envisioned as a biopic with Leon Russell at the center.

  • Pieces of a Woman
    PIECES OF A WOMAN Directed by Kornél Mundruczó Starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Falls, Ellen Burstyn **WORLD PREMIERE – In Competition – Venice Film Festival 2020** **OFFICIAL SELECTION – Gala Presentations – Toronto International Film Festival 2020** Press Contacts: US: Julie Chappell | [email protected] International: Claudia Tomassini | [email protected] Sales Contact: Linda Jin | [email protected] 1 SHORT SYNOPSIS When an unfathomable tragedy befalls a young mother (Vanessa Kirby), she begins a year-long odyssey of mourning that touches her husband (Shia LaBeouf), her mother (Ellen Burstyn), and her midwife (Molly Parker). Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.

  • The Look of Silence and Last Day of Freedom Take Top Honors at the 2015 IDA Documentary Association Awards
    Amy Grey / Ashley Mariner Phone: 818-508-1000 Dish Communications [email protected] / [email protected] The Look of Silence and Last Day of Freedom Take Top Honors at the 2015 IDA Documentary Association Awards Best of Enemies, Listen to Me Marlon & HBO’s The Jinx Also Pick Up Awards LOS ANGELES, December 5, 2015 – Winners in the International Documentary Association’s 2015 IDA Documentary Awards were announced during tonight’s program at the Paramount Theatre, giving Joshua Oppenheimer’s THE LOOK OF SILENCE top honors with the Best Feature Award. This critically acclaimed, powerful companion piece to the Oscar®-nominated The Act of Killing, follows a family of survivors of the Indonesian genocide who discover how their son was murdered and the identities of the killers. Also announced in the ceremony was the Best Short Award, which honored LAST DAY OF FREEDOM, directed by Dee Hibbert-Jones and Nomi Talisman. The film is an animated account of Bill Babbitt’s decision to support and help his brother in the face of war, crime and capital execution. Grammy-nominated comedian Tig Notaro hosted the ceremony, which gathered the documentary community to honor the best nonfiction films and programming of 2015. IDA’s Career Achievement Award was presented to Gordon Quinn, Founder and Artistic Director of Kartemquin Films. He has produced, directed and/or been cinematographer on over 55 films across five decades.

  • Australian Television, Music and Place
    Screen Sound n1, 2010 SOUNDING EAST OF EVERYTHING Australian Television, Music and Place Liz Giuffre Abstract East of Everything is a contemporary Australian television drama series shot on the New South Wales North Coast in and around the popular tourist destination of Byron Bay. In addition to utilising the region’s visual beauty – a cinematographic technique commonly employed in Australian drama – East of Everything has harnessed the musical culture that has developed in the area over time. The series relies on its soundtrack to create a sense of place and illuminate the program’s dramatic progression. This article will explore the use of music to ‘place’ East of Everything, examining the incorporation of pre-existing and specially commissioned material. I will show that the sonic representation of place through music has been key to the program’s success, and that place in the Australian drama is revealed sonically to be as diverse, emotive and striking as the region’s visual landscape. Keywords Television, Soundtrack, Australian music, Byron Bay, Surfing Culture Introduction Billingham (2000) argues that television drama often relies on the creation of ‘geo- ideological’ relationships to attract audiences. As part of his evaluation of various contemporary British and American television drama series, he suggests that many successful programs created a “dialectic of literal notions of place and location, transposed with their ideological marking, signing and delineation” (2000: 1). For Billingham the depiction of place was central to the success of these television texts, with the program’s target audience engaged as visuals and sound worked in “symbiotic tandem” to create an “imagined city” (2000: 119).

  • 43E Festival International Du Film De La Rochelle Du 26 Juin Au 5 Juillet 2015 Le Puzzle Des Cinémas Du Monde
    43e Festival International du Film de La Rochelle du 26 juin au 5 juillet 2015 LE PUZZLE DES CINÉMAS DU MONDE Une fois de plus nous revient l’impossible tâche de synthétiser une édition multiforme, tant par le nombre de films présentés que par les contextes dans lesquels ils ont été conçus. Nous ne pouvons nous résoudre à en sélectionner beaucoup moins, ce n’est pas faute d’essayer, et de toutes manières, un contexte économique plutôt inquiétant nous y contraint ; mais qu’une ou plusieurs pièces essentielles viennent à manquer au puzzle mental dont nous tentons, à l’année, de joindre les pièces irrégulières, et le Festival nous paraîtrait bancal. Finalement, ce qui rassemble tous ces films, qu’ils soient encore matériels ou virtuels (50/50), c’est nous, sélectionneuses au long cours. Nous souhaitons proposer aux spectateurs un panorama généreux de la chose filmique, cohérent, harmonieux, digne, sincère, quoique, la sincérité… Ambitieux aussi car nous aimons plus que tout les cinéastes qui prennent des risques et notre devise secrète pourrait bien être : mieux vaut un bon film raté qu’un mauvais film réussi. Et enfin, il nous plaît que les films se parlent, se rencontrent, s’éclairent les uns les autres et entrent en résonance dans l’esprit du festivalier. En 2015, nous avons procédé à un rééquilibrage géographique vers l’Asie, absente depuis plusieurs éditions de la programmation. Tout d’abord, avec le grand Hou Hsiao-hsien qui en est un digne représentant puisqu’il a tourné non seulement à Taïwan, son île natale mais aussi au Japon, à Hongkong et en Chine.
