International Film Festival April 24 – May 4, 2008 the Washington, Dc International Film Festival
THE 22ND ANNUAL WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL APRIL 24 – MAY 4, 2008 THE WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL A world of films…a window into our world. Whether experienced in movie theaters, on DVDs or television in our homes, on our iPods or computers, films are the major communications media of our time. Hollywood films dominate commercial cinema. However, scores of talented filmmakers around the globe produce thou- sands of quality films that speak with a different voice, provide a different point of view, and tell different stories. Presenting these films in the nation’s capital is the purpose of Filmfest DC. Photo: Chad Evans Wyatt Film festivals are a journey of Tony Gittens, Festival Director and Shirin Ghareeb, Assistant Director discovery, a visual and thought provoking adventure into how people see and interpret our world. Every Filmfest DC is different and every film is unique from every other film in the festival. Together, they comprise an amazing representation of human imagination, commitment and talent. The festival has two special focuses this year — Politics & Film and New Latin Ameri- can Cinema. Obviously, politics are especially prominent during this election season and we wanted to explore the role affairs of state play in people’s every day lives. Latin American filmmakers are always a treasure trove of inventive storytelling. The di- verse selection of new work we have gathered from the Spanish-speaking world (in- cluding Spain) are moving, humorous, and insightful. None of this would be possible without the many dedicated people who have shared their time and talents with Filmfest DC.

Sight & Sound Films of 2007
Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more. Enjoy. - Nick James, Editor. 1 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 2 Inland Empire (David Lynch) 3 Zodiac (David Fincher) = 4 I’m Not There (Todd Haynes) The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 6 Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas) = 7 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) No Country for Old Men (Ethan and Joel Coen) Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg) 1 Table of Contents – alphabetical by critic Gilbert Adair (Critic and author, UK)............................................................................................4 Kaleem Aftab (Critic, The Independent, UK)...............................................................................4 Geoff Andrew (Critic

The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema
The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.

Press Notes (PDF)
Strand Releasing presents POST TENEBRAS LUX (“light after darkness”) A film by Carlos Reygadas Starring Adolfo Jiménez Castro, Nathalia Acevedo and Willebaldo Torres Official Selection: Cannes Film Festival Official Selection: Toronto International Film Festival Official Selection: AFI Fest PRELIMINARY PRESS NOTES Country of Origin: Mexico / France / Germany / The Netherlands Format: 35mm/Color Sound Format: 5.1 Dolby Surround Running Time: 115 minutes Genre: Drama Not Rated In Spanish, English and French with English Subtitles NY Press Contact: LA/National Press Contact: Susan Norget Jenna Martin / Marcus Hu Susan Norget Film Promotion Strand Releasing Phone: 212.431.0090 Phone: 310.836.7500 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Please download photos from our website: http://extranet.strandreleasing.com/secure/login.aspx?username=PRESS&password=STRAND SYNOPSIS POST TENEBRAS LUX (“light after darkness”), ostensibly the story of an upscale, urban family whose move to the Mexican countryside results in domestic crises and class friction, is a stunningly photographed, impressionistic psychological portrait of a family and their place within the sublime, unforgiving natural world. Reygadas conjures a host of unforgettable, ominous images: a haunting sequence at dusk as Reygadas’s real-life daughter wanders a muddy field and farm animals loudly circle and thunder and lightning threaten; a glowing-red demon gliding through the rooms of a home; a husband and wife visiting a swingers’ bathhouse with rooms named after famous philosophers. By turns entrancing and mystifying, POST TENEBRAS LUX palpably explores the primal conflicts of the human condition. — Mike Maggiore, Programmer, Film Forum DIRECTOR – CARLOS REYGADAS ON POST TENEBRAS LUX The film may seem mysterious at first sight.

El Hollywood: Alejandro González Iñarritu
EL HOLLYWOOD : ALEJANDRO GONZ ÁLEZ I ÑARRITU, ALFONSO CUAR ÓN, AND GUILLERMO DEL TORO By ANA-MARIA LUNGU Bachelor of Arts in Film Edinburgh Napier University Edinburgh, United Kingdom 2016 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS July, 2018 EL HOLLYWOOD : ALEJANDRO GONZ ÁLEZ I ÑARRITU, ALFONSO CUAR ÓN, AND GUILLERMO DEL TORO Thesis Approved: Dr. Jeff Menne Thesis Adviser Dr. Stacy Takacs Dr. Graig Uhlin ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my committee, Dr. Jeff Menne, Dr. Stacy Takacs, and Dr. Graig Uhlin for their guidance throughout my time at Oklahoma State, especially during the thesis writing process. I would like to thank my colleagues Dillon Hawkins, Jared Ashburn, Skyler Osburn and my husband Jacob for their continuous support and their dedication to reading my work and providing helpful comments. iii Acknowledgements reflect the views of the author and are not endorsed by committee members or Oklahoma State University. Name: ANA-MARIA LUNGU Date of Degree: AUGUST, 2018 Title of Study: THESIS Major Field: ENGLISH Abstract: The three Mexican filmmakers, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Guillermo del Toro, dubbed The Three Amigos by scholar Deborah Shaw, have received a lot of critical attention in recent years. While the term Three Amigos and the scholarship that analyzes their early works from a transnational perspective seeks to other them and distinguish them from Hollywood, I argue that the three filmmakers did not depart from a place of difference, and that they embraced Hollywood filmmaking all along, from the beginning of their careers, to the most recent Academy Award recognitions.

Cannes 2005 Report
Cannes 2005 Report By Ron Holloway Fall 2005 Issue of KINEMA A Word from the President On the closing night of the 58th edition of the Festival de Cannes (11-22 May 2005), when president Gilles Jacob was asked to comment on the highlights of what was generally touted in the press and media as the most memorable festival in history, he promptly laid his cards on the table. ”This year’s Cannes will be remembered for breaking a lot of records: attendance, participation, guests, accreditations, you name it. Not all the facts and figures are in as yet, but we are fully aware ofthe emergence of a new style of international film festival.” Pushed a bit further, he concluded: ”This is the opposite of what André Malraux once said. We have shown that the industry of cinema is also an art.” Asked about further expansion plans, Jacob countered with a shrug: ”The idea is not to expand any more,” he said. ”If we were to expand even more, then the facilities would be less easy to manage.” He also appended this afterthought: ”Furthermore, we have no plans to add new sections to those already in place.” Asked what made this year’s festival memorable on a personal level, he waxed eloquent on ”two beautiful moments.” The first was that Sunday afternoon in the Grand Théâtre Lumière - namely: ”the séance des enfants, for young kings, 2000 kids, who received the magic of cinema during this screening.” The other memorable moment for a festival president known for his commitment to film heritage, was ”the final fireworks dedicated to Federico Fellini and Nino Rota - an absolute delight!” Official Programme With 22 films competing for the Golden Palm, in addition to 14 entries running Out-of-Competition, plus 23 films in the backup Un Certain Regard section, there was less reason than ever before for the faithful to venture out of the Palais des Festivals to seek movie pleasure elsewhere on the Croisette.
