Catalog 2010 FILM MOVEMENT CATALOG 2010 A b o The Company u t Launched in 2003, Film Movement is a full-service North American distributor of U award-winning American independent and foreign films, based in New York City. s Film Movement has released more than 90 feature films from 40 countries on six continents, including top prize winners from Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin, Tribeca, SXSW and other prestigious film festivals. Mission Statement Why did we launch Film Movement? As fans of American independent and for- eign cinema, we had become increasingly frustrated by the lack of access to the year's most critically acclaimed films. We kept reading about films from the ma- jor film festivals, such as Cannes and Sundance, that the top critics raved about, but never reached a theater near you. Film choices are dictated to us by a smaller and smaller group of major studios, which decide to release films based mostly on their star quotient and “marketability”. Many of the films that we want to see get squeezed out of thea- ters by Hollywood blockbusters and face skyrocketing marketing costs that make it daunting—if not impossible—to reach appreciative audiences. We created Film Movement because the system of releasing independent, foreign and documentary films needed to be changed. At its heart, Film Movement is dedicated to getting great films seen by as many people as possible, and providing intelligent, beautiful and compelling art to an ever-growing audience, who does not necessarily live in the top ten metropolitan areas, and who want more than the standard Hollywood fare. In order to achieve our goal, we work with programmers around the country, making it as easy as possible for them to rent, market and publicize quality art- house fare in their community. By supporting Film Movement, you are directly supporting American independ- ent and foreign film. This is our mission. We hope that you will join us, and we al- ways welcome your comments.

A“We’re opening. We’re happy to be opening. We just don’t know what we’re opening yet,” said Jeff Hanle, Skico vice presi- dent of communications. The amount of terrain that opens will depend on how much snow falls between now and then. “At a minimum, we’ll do Nell and Bell,” Hanle said, referring to the Little Nell chairlift at the base and the old standby Bell Mountain chairlift. If that’s all that opens Nov. 17, Aspen Moun- tain will still offer more vertical feet of skiing than many of the resorts now open in Colorado, according to Hanle. The top of the Bell Mountain chair is at an elevation of about 10,500 feet. The base is at about 7,945 feet. Hanle said the ticket price can’t be set because it’s uncertain how much terrain will open. Ski passes will be able to be used.

  • ALIENCOVENANT PB Ita 2
    ! Regia di Ridley Scott Michael Fassbender Katherine Waterston Billy Crudup Danny McBride Demian Bichir *** Uscita: 11 Maggio 2017 Distribuzione: 20th Century Fox Italia Durata: 121 minuti *** Ufficio stampa 20th Century Fox Giancarlo Sozi : <[email protected]> Cristina Partenza: < [email protected]> Ufficio stampa web Alessandra Giovannetti <[email protected]> *** #AlienCovenant https://www.facebook.com/AlienFilmIt/ http://www.aliencovenant-trovasala.it/ www.20thfox.it Nello spazio nessuno può sentirti urlare. Dopo quasi quattro decadi, queste parole rimangono sinonimo dell'assoluta e incessante tensione di quel capolavoro dell’orrore fantascientifico che è stato Alien di Ridley Scott. Ora, il padre del leggendario franchise, ritorna ancora una volta al mondo che ha creato per esplorarne i suoi recessi più oscuri con ALIEN: COVENANT, una nuova avventura al cardiopalma che spinge in avanti i confini del terrore per i film vietati ai minori. A bordo dell’astronave Covenant tutto è tranquillo; l’equipaggio e le altre 2.000 anime sul vascello d’esplorazione sono profondamente addormentate nell’iper-sonno, lasciando che Walter, l’organismo sintetico a bordo, cammini da solo per i corridoi. La nave è in viaggio verso il lontano pianeta Origae-6, sul fianco estremo della galassia, dove i coloni sperano di stabilire un nuovo avamposto per l’umanità. La pacifica tranquillità del viaggio viene interrotta quando una vicina esplosione stellare distrugge le vele di raccolta di energia della Covenant, provocando decine di vittime e facendo deragliare la missione. Ben presto i membri superstiti dell’equipaggio scoprono quello che sembra essere un paradiso inesplorato, un Eden indisturbato con montagne coperte di nuvole e immensi alberi altissimi, molto più vicino di Origae-6 e potenzialmente altrettanto valido per ospitarli.

  • Alien: Covenant
    ALIEN: COVENANT In space, no one can hear you scream. After nearly four decades, those words remain synonymous with the sheer, relentless intensity of Ridley Scott’s masterpiece of futuristic horror, Alien. Now, the father of the iconic franchise returns once more to the world he created to explore its darkest corners with ALIEN: COVENANT, a pulse-pounding new adventure that pushes the boundaries of R-rated terror. All is quiet aboard the spaceship Covenant. The crew and the rest of the 2,000 souls aboard the pioneering vessel are deep in hyper-sleep, leaving the synthetic Walter to walk the corridors alone. The ship is en route to the remote planet Origae-6, where, on the far side of the galaxy, the settlers hope to establish a new outpost for humanity. The tranquility is shattered when a nearby stellar ignition shreds Covenant’s energy-collection sails, resulting in dozens of casualties and throwing the mission off course. Soon, the surviving crew members discover what appears to be an uncharted paradise, an undisturbed Eden of cloud-capped mountains and immense, soaring trees far closer than Origae- 6 and potentially just as viable as a home. What they’ve found, however, is actually a dark and deadly world full of unexpected twists and turns. Facing a terrible threat beyond their imagination, the embattled explorers must attempt a harrowing escape. Set ten years after the events depicted in Scott’s 2012 hit Prometheus, ALIEN: COVENANT returns to the roots of the director’s groundbreaking saga with a uniquely terrifying tale filled with white-knuckle adventure and monstrous new creatures.

  • 5Th Annual V4 Film Series Program
    INVITATION: The Embassies of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, invite you to the 5th Annual V4 Film Series, featuring the theme: Darkness Within and Around Us, running from April 20-28, 2016. All screenings are admission free, but RSVPs are required. CZECH REPUBLIC April 20, 6:30 pm The Way Out | Cesta ven 2014, 105 min., in Czech with English subtitles Directed by Petr Václav Synopsis: Dubbed the best film of the year at the Czech Critics' awards, director Petr Václav's The Way Out (Cesta ven) follows a Romani couple trying to live a "normal life" in a community obscured by prejudice. Žaneta (Klaudia Dudová) and David (David Ištok) strive to provide for their daughter and Žaneta’s sister. To protect his family, David considers a life of crime, as the grim backdrop of unemployment, debt, and poverty weighs down. Žaneta wants a respectable life for her family, her sister to get an education, and an honest job. Trapped in the community’s anti-gypsy prejudice, can Žaneta find the inner strength to break out? Awards: The film was the first Czech film screened at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in the last 16 years. It won seven 2015 Czech Lion Awards and four Czech Critics´ Awards for best film, director, screenwriter and leading actress. About the Director: The Way Out marks the director Petr Václav’s return to the theme of the Roma community. His debut feature Marian drew on his experience in documentary filmmaking and featured Roma non-actors living similar lives to those of their characters.
