  • News Release. Toronto International Film Festival
    August 9, 2016 .NEWS RELEASE.

Leonardo DiCaprio is prominently featured in a rousing call to action on climate change in Before the Flood, in collaboration with Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens. TIFF Docs is generously sponsored by A&E IndieFilms. “Revelations abound in this year’s crop of documentaries," said TIFF Docs Programmer Thom Powers. “We gain fresh perspectives on high profile figures such as James Baldwin, Amanda Knox and The Beatles; and we meet compelling figures from the worlds of activism, music, sports and, not to be forgotten, classic burlesque." Esteemed nonfiction auteurs include Steve James with ABACUS: Small Enough to Jail, which follows the prosecution of a Chinatown bank in New York City in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis; Errol Morris profiling a longtime friend in The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman’s Portrait Photography; Werner Herzog partnering with volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer for Into the Inferno; and Raoul Peck bringing his cinematic version of James Baldwin’s writing to life in I Am Not Your Negro.

  • I Called Him Morgan“
    Bemerkungen zu „I Called Him Morgan“ DVD 2017, (Dokumentar-Film — Schweden/USA) Regie und Skript: Kasper Collin Interviewpartner: Larry Reni Thomas, Wayne Shorter, Paul West, Charli Persip, Albert 'Tootie' Heath, Ron St. Clair, Larry Ridley, Jymie Merritt, Al Harrison, Larry Ridley, Lena Sherrod, Bennie Maupin, Jerry Schultz, Judith Johnson, Billy Harper. Vorbemerkungen: Lee Morgan (* 1938 in Philadelphia; † 19. Februar 1972 in New York, erschossen von seiner Frau Helen Morgan) war ein amerikanischer Jazz-Trompeter, der als einer der wichtigsten Exponenten des Hard Bop gilt. Als Solist war er auf seinen zahlreichen Platten eine der markantesten Trompeten-Stimmen der 50er und vor allem der 60er Jahre. Er modernisierte den Bebop in die zeitgemäße Form des Hard-Bop und brachte ganz nebenbei mit seinem Überraschungs-Hit „The Sidewinder“ auch noch den Funk-Jazz ins Rollen. Mir lag die englische DVD zur Besprechung vor. Auf Netflix ist der Film mit deutschen Untertiteln zu finden. Die Dokumentation handelt vom Menschen Lee Morgan, der Beziehung zu seiner Frau Helen, der gemeinsamen Liebe zum Jazz und den tödlichen Schüssen auf Lee durch Helen im New Yorker Jazzclub Slug‘s. Der Film wurde auf der Plattform www.metacritics.com zum Film des Jahres 2017 gewählt. Bei Rotten Tomatoes erhielt er eine Bewertung von 9 Punkten (von 10 möglichen Punkten). 1 Filmplakat 2 Filminhalt: Der Film beginnt mit der Aussage von Zeitzeugen, die die tödlichen Schüsse auf Lee Morgan 1972 erlebt haben. Alle waren schockiert über die Tat. Der Film wechselt dann in das Jahr 2013 nach Wilmington in North Carolina/USA. Ein Lehrer (Larry Reni Thomas) der Wilson High-School beschreibt seine erste Begegnung mit der Täterin Helen Morgan 1988 in einer Abendveranstaltung über Geschichte für Erwachsene.

    Co-Chairs Welcome 2016 A film festival is as good as the support that it receives from its community, volunteers and the selection of films -- perhaps a revolving combination of that order at all times. 2016 presented the Lunenburg Doc Fest (LDF) team with new opportunities, an expanded program, and a venue challenge. The Town of Lunenburg, the sponsorship community and the LDF team embraced the evolving changes and here we are in this charming renovated theatre, the Lunenburg Opera House, a performing arts theatre to be proud of. We invite you to immerse yourself in four days of thought-provoking, stimulating and entertaining films. Finally, we are grateful for the support that the festival has received from our private and public sponsors without whose generous participation none of this would be possible. The Executive Directors, Pamela Segger and Debra Beers, deserve special mention for their stellar public and behind the scenes organizational work. We would like to thank the volunteer LDF Board and Committee members for their diligence and the many volunteers who dedicate their time and energy. All who contribute to the success of this event, and that includes you, our fellow film enthusiasts, believe in Lunenburg and that the community can champion a growing festival such as this. We thank you sincerely for your continued support. Inge Hatton Ian Lightstone Co-Chair Co-Chair - 1 - Executive Directors’ Welcome 2016 Welcome to Lunenburg Doc Fest!

    6 OCT 17 2 NOV 17 1 | 6 OCT 17 - 2 NOV 17 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSEcinema.COM FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT HOME OF THE EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Reviewing the reviewers... I’m writing this on my way back from the 2017 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, and, whilst it wasn’t perhaps a vintage year, I do return with a head full of many splendid films that will undoubtedly feature large in our programme over the coming months. I leave, not for the first time, with an almost overwhelming bewilderment at the film-critical establishment and their glowing reviews for films I’d have to think twice about even screening here; and, similarly, bad reviews for films I would play in a heartbeat. Often, it feels like we’re not watching the same films! And I know they say that beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder, but, sometimes… there’s just plain wrong!?! But no names no pack-drill, for t’would be wrong to speak out against films we’ve no intention of screening. We’ll let our programme do the talking… October sees the beginning of a very busy period for us what with all the festivals we play host to during this month and next. First up is the Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival, followed by Scotland Loves Anime (we have proof that it does!) and Africa in Motion. And a special mention for what might be the finest film I’ve seen this year (and on which I and nearly all film critics agree!) – Luca (I Am Love) Guadagnino’s extraordinarily good Call Me By Your Name, which tells the story of a young Italian-American boy’s sexual awakening in rural Italy in the 1980s.
