Top Margin 1 IP/10/560 Bruxelles, 12 maggio 2010 "Appuntamento europeo" al Festival internazionale del cinema di Cannes Venti film europei finanziati dal programma MEDIA dell'Unione europea sono stati selezionati per essere proiettati in occasione del 63° Festival internazionale del cinema di Cannes, tra cui sei film in concorso per la Palma d'oro (per particolari si rinvia agli allegati). Il 17 maggio è il giorno dell'Appuntamento europeo a Cannes, la data in cui il festival celebra il meglio del cinema europeo. Il commissario Androulla Vassiliou proclamerà il vincitore del premio del talento europeo 2010 concesso per il migliore progetto di film avente una dimensione europea. Assieme a Gilles Jacob, presidente del festival, il commissario incontrerà anche rappresentanti dell'industria cinematografica e delle istituzioni cinematografiche europee e internazionali per discutere la questione di come trovare finanziamenti per registi. "Sono lieta che i film europei ancora una volta abbiano un ruolo forte a Cannes," ha affermato Androulla Vassiliou, commissario responsabile per l'Istruzione e la cultura. "L'Europa può essere fiera del suo cinema diversificato e vibrante. Sono anche fiera che il programma MEDIA contribuisca a questo stato di cose. Il sostegno finanziario che esso assicura contribuisce a creare e a salvaguardare migliaia di posti di lavoro nel settore. Esso intende anche consentire in particolare alle piccole sale cinematografiche di adattarsi al cambiamento tecnologico e al mercato globale." La digitalizzazione rappresenta una grande sfida per le sale cinematografiche: un nuovo proiettore digitale e server costa circa 75 000 EUR, un grande investimento per molti cinematografi. Più avanti nel corso dell'anno la Commissione intende avviare un piano, per il tramite del programma MEDIA, che darà un contributo fino al 50% di tale costo alle sale cinematografiche che proiettino per lo più film europei. Nel complesso il programma MEDIA darà un contributo di 755 milioni di EUR a sostegno dell'industria cinematografica europea nel periodo 2007-2013, con un'attenzione particolare per il miglioramento della distribuzione e della promozione dei film europei e per il rafforzamento della competitività del settore. Le società di produzione ammesse a ricevere un sostegno ricevono in media sovvenzioni per un importo di 50 000 EUR. Sugli ultimi dieci vincitori della Palma d'oro a partire dal 2000 otto hanno ricevuto un sostegno dal programma MEDIA. Ed alcuni hanno anche vinto degli Oscar per il miglior film straniero.

Like our Northwest Film & Video Festival, which celebrates the unique visions of artists in our community, PIFF seeks to engage, educate, entertain and challenge. We invite you to explore and celebrate not only the art of film, but also the world around you. It is said that film is a universal language—able to transcend geographic, political and cultural boundaries in a singular fashion. In the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous observation, “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler who is foreign,” this year’s films allow us to discover what unites rather than what divides. The Festival also unites our community, bringing together culturally diverse audiences, a remarkable cross-section of cinematic voices, public and private funders of the arts, corporate sponsors and global film industry members. This fabulous ecology makes the event possible, and we wish our credits at the back of the program could better convey our deep appreci- ation of all who help make the Festival happen.

  • Film Education (Levan Koghuashvili, Maia Gugunava, Tato Kotetishvili) 139 1001 Ingredients for Making Films from Nana Jorjadze 146
    ~ editors letter ~ The year of 2015 started with our becoming members of the Creative Europe, while by the end of the year, with the purpose of supporting the cinema industry, Geor- gian government introduced a cash rebate system, we have been working on since 2009. I believe both of these initiatives will make a huge contribution to the develop- ment of our industry. 1 In 2016, movies of different genres will be released. It is notable that three feature films among those are directed by women. Projects we are currently working on are very important. We have announced new types of competitions on script development, including comedy and children’s movies, adaptation of Georgian prose of the 21st century, scripts dedicated to the 100th anniver- sary of Georgia’s independence, and animation. Winners are given long- term work- shops by European script doctors, so 2016 will be dedicated to the script development. The young generation has become active in the field: we had premieres of six short films and a short film by Data Pirtskhalava “Father” was the winner of the main prize in this category at Locarno International Film Festival. Other films – “Ogasavara”, “Fa- ther”, “Exit”, “Preparation”, “The First Day” – are also participating at different festivals. Masters of Georgian cinema are also making films side-by-side with the young genera- tion. I have to mention a film by Rezo Esadze “Day as a Month” with its extraordinary nar- rative structure and visualaspect, which will take its noteworthy place in our film collection. One of the most important goals this year will be to return Georgian cinema heritage from archives in Moscow and design a suitable storage facility for it.

  • Org Ayuntamiento
    Desde hace ya cinco años, Madrid cuenta con un Festival Internacional de Documentales que atrae a un gran número de espectadores y es, a la vez, foro y lugar de encuentro para los profesionales del género. Un género, el cine de no ficción, que abarca una enorme variedad de propuestas, desde las puramente estéticas e innovadoras, hasta las que promueven enfoques de mayor calado, que evidencian las más variadas realidades sociales, culturales, artísticas o medioambientales. 6 En su edición de 2008, y como ya es habitual, Documenta tiene su principal foco de interés en su Sección Oficial. En ella, junto a las proyecciones de películas en sus dos formatos, corto y largometraje, en los que prima la originalidad, habrá un concurso de reportajes, que valorará especialmente el tratamiento y la presencia de la actualidad. Pero, además, el festival se nutrirá de sus siempre enriquecedoras secciones informativas. En ellas, destaca el homenaje a la figura de Michelangelo Antonioni, el enigmático cineasta, escritor y pintor italiano, célebre autor de la trilogía La aventura, La noche y El eclipse, que tanto dio que hablar a los cinéfilos españoles a comienzos de los sesenta, y sorprendente creador, más tarde, de Blow-up. Antonioni fue un gran innovador del cine y cultivó el género documental, a pesar de que su obra en este campo es prácticamente desconocida. Para tratar de rescatar del olvido esta valiosa faceta, se proyectarán algunos de sus trabajos. Muy vinculado a la mejor etapa de Antonioni, se ha programado también otro ciclo retrospectivo, Recuerdos del 68, con películas que evocarán los movimientos sociales y políticos del período, así como los sucesos de Mayo del 68 en París, coincidiendo con su 40 aniversario.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 14 FILMS HAUPTSPONSOR AROUND THE WORLD IN 14 FILMS UNSER SCHIRMHERR Liebe Filmfreundinnen und Filmfreunde, „Around the World in 14 Films“ ist nach inzwischen zehn erfolgreichen Jahren zu einem kleinen Juwel in der deutschen Filmlandschaft geworden. Alljährlich hat das Festivalpublikum in nur wenigen Tagen die einzigartige Gelegenheit, viele Regionen der Erde zu bereisen – und das bequem vom Kinosessel aus. Auch in diesem Jahr holt das Festivalteam wieder junges Weltkino nach Berlin, darunter Beiträge aus Israel, Kurdistan, der Türkei, aus Russland und dem Iran – Ländern und Regionen, die derzeit auch politisch im Fokus stehen. Das Festival lädt uns ein, einmal hinter die Schlagzeilen zu blicken, die uns beinahe täglich aus vielen dieser Regionen erreichen. Es ermöglicht uns, die Menschen dort besser kennenzulernen ebenso wie das, was sie bewegt, was uns trennt, was uns verbindet. Selten gelingt eine so schöne Mischung von Filmkunst und Verständigung wie bei „Around the World in 14 Films“. Zum zweiten Mal findet das Festival nun schon im Kino in der KulturBrauerei statt. Das zeigt, dass es mitten in der lebendigen Kulturszene Berlins angekommen ist. Auch die Zusammenarbeit mit ARTE hat sich als überaus erfolgreich erwiesen, so dass mittlerweile die Hälfte der Festivalbeiträge ARTE-Koproduktionen sind. Ich freue mich über diesen Erfolg und wünsche auch der diesjährigen Festivalausgabe, dass sie uns viele bereichernde Eindrücke und Erfahrungen schenkt. Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier Bundesminister des Auswärtigen UNSER FESTIVAL Liebe Filmfreundinnen und Filmfreunde, herzlich willkommen zu unserer elften Kino-Weltreise AROUND THE WORLD IN 14 FILMS.

  • S Falling Leaves (Giorgobistve, 1966) VOL
    ESSAY Life and Politics at the Georgian Table Otar Iosseliani’s Falling Leaves (Giorgobistve, 1966) VOL. 58 (OCTOBER 2015) BY KONSTANTY KUZMA In Otar Iosseliani’s Falling Leaves, a young man faces a crisis of conscience when he’s expected to support a decision irreconcilable with his convictions. Niko, who only recently joined the lab of a local wine collective, is put under pressure to bottle deficient wine. Though he knows the use of gelatin fining could easily fix the product, state-ordered productivity quotas allow for no delays. “Look around you”, his superior tells him in a confidential conversation, “this is no time for principles.” Even the collective’s director says he can tell apart good wine and bad one – it’s Niko’s signature the winery’s after, not his opinion. Before we’re introduced to this ugly reality of Soviet-time wine collectives and with it to the film’s main story line, Iosseliani reminds us that traditional wine-making is still prevalent in Georgia’s rural parts. The film opens with an idyllic pastiche of rural life which throws together scenes from diverse regions and contexts that radiate with harmony and reconciliation. In contrast to the urban reality, which we’re told is replete with individualism and mutual mistrust, in the rustic prologue we find no conflict, no industry, no fiddling and no sounds but the melodies of land and traditional music. Where the collective’s wine production is so poor that the vintners overseeing it won’t have it, wine here appears to wander straight to the table, which we soon learn is an integral life of village life.

  • Network Films: a Global Genre?
    Network Films: a Global Genre? Vivien Claire Silvey December 2012 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University. ii This thesis is solely my original work, except where due reference is given. iii Acknowledgements I am extremely grateful for all the time and effort my dear supervisor Cathie Summerhayes has invested throughout this project. Her constant support, encouragement, advice and wisdom have been absolutely indispensable. To that master of words, puns and keeping his hat on during the toughest times of semester, Roger Hillman, I extend profound gratitude. Roger‟s generosity with opportunities for co-publishing, lecturing and tutoring, and enthusiasm for all things Turkish German, musical and filmic has been invaluable. For all our conversations and film-loans, I warmly say to Gino Moliterno grazie mille! I am indebted to Gaik Cheng Khoo, Russell Smith and Fiona Jenkins, who have provided valuable information, lecturing and tutoring roles. I am also grateful for the APA scholarship and for all the helpful administration staff in the School of Cultural Inquiry. At the heart of this thesis lies the influence of my mother Elizabeth, who has taken me to see scores of “foreign” and “art” films over the years, and my father Jerry, with whom I have watched countless Hollywood movies. Thank you for instilling in me a fascination for all things “world cinema”, for your help, and for providing a caring home. To my gorgeous Dave, thank you for all your love, motivation, cooking and advice. I am enormously honoured to have you by my side.

Not one has the poise to play the leading role. He is getting ready to leave when Vanda appears: an unbridled and brazen whirlwind of energy. Vanda embodies everything Thomas hates. She is crude, idiotic, and will stop at nothing to get the part. But when Thomas finds himself backed into a corner and lets her try her luck, he is amazed to see Vanda transformed. Not only has she found the right props and costumes, but she understands the character (whose name she shares) intimately, and knows all her lines by heart. The "audition" lengthens and intensifies, and Thomas’s attraction starts to develop into an obsession… 3 INTERVIEW WITH ROMAN POLANSKI / DIRECTOR, CO-WRITER AND PRODUCER How did you come across David Ives’ play, inspired by Sacher-Masoch’s novel?

Each event is introduced by artist and programmer Sylvia Schedelbauer. Discovering Georgian Cinema, a retrospective survey of film- making (in 35 mm archival prints) from this distinctive cultural milieu with roots in antiquity, takes place at several Wash- ington venues while the Gallery’s East Building Auditorium is closed. The Georgian project was originally organized by curators from the Museum of Modern Art and the Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive, and Washington is the only American venue other than New York and Berkeley. The Gal- lery continues its ongoing collaboration with American University School of Communication in the series Cruza- mentos: Contemporary Brazilian Documentary, a program of historically significant non-fiction works from one of the most dynamic film cultures in the world. This season, the popular series American Originals Now features the work of artist Cathy Lee Crane. Special events include the local premier of the recently restored Moana with Sound, originally a silent film made in Samoa by Robert Flaherty.
