We will launch with a limited but representative selection, and this will be constantly added to over the coming months and years. There are also plans for further development of the IFI Player which will include giving audiences outside of Dublin the opportunity to view selected parts of the IFI’s artistic programme. We’re extremely excited about the launch of the first phase which will provide audiences with a window into the amazing breadth of material in our moving image archive, preserved on the nation’s behalf here at the IFI. One of the many new releases not to be missed this month is the Irish and wonderfully touching Viva which provides a fascinating glimpse in the Cuban drag scene, and we’re delighted that both director Paddy Breathnach and writer 3 NEW RELEASES, IFI SEASONS & DOCS & IFI CLASSICS EVENTS CALENDAR BOBBY SANDS: 66 DAYS OPENS AUG 5TH DATE SCREENING TIME SID AND NANCY OPENS AUG 5TH 2ND IFI CAFÉ BAR PUB QUIZ (FREE EVENT) 21:30 SWEET BEAN OPENS AUG 5TH TUE 5TH BOBBY SANDS: 66 DAYS + Q&A 18.30 INGRID BERGMAN: OPENS AUG 12TH FRI IN HER OWN WORDS 9TH THE BIGGER PICTURE: BLAZING SADDLES 18.30 THE CONFESSION: OPENS AUG 12TH TUE 10TH FROM THE VAULTS: SOME MOTHER’S SON 18.30 LIVING THE WAR ON TERROR WED THE IDOL OPENS AUG 12TH 16TH IRISH FOCUS: PUSHTAR + Q&A 18.30 VALLEY OF LOVE OPENS AUG 12TH TUE 17TH THE CONFESSION: LIVING THE WAR ON TERROR* 20.40 WIENER-DOG OPENS AUG 12TH WED BEHEMOTH OPENS AUG 19TH 18TH THE CONFESSION: LIVING THE WAR ON TERROR* 13.50 THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEAEDER OPENS AUG 19TH THU THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER + Q&A 20.00 19TH VIVA + Q&A 18.30 TICKLED OPENS AUG 19TH FRI VIVA OPENS AUG 19TH 20TH ELAINE MAY RETROSPECTIVE: A NEW LEAF 16.00 JULIETA OPENS AUG 26TH SAT 21ST IFI FAMILY: SONGS, PUFFINS AND SHORTS 11.00 STRANGE OCCURRENCES OPENS AUG 26TH SUN ELAINE MAY RETROSPECTIVE: HEARTBREAK KID 16.00 IN A SMALL IRISH VILLAGE 23RD FEAST YOUR EYES: VIVA 18.30 TUE 24TH ELAINE MAY RETROSPECTIVE: MIKEY & NICKY 18.30 WED 25TH IFI FILM CLUB: TICKLED 18.15 GET SOCIAL!

Ms. May, film director, playwright, actress, and comedienne, is the subject of a tribute on Monday, November 17, at 6:00 p.m., when her 1976 revisionist buddy-movie Mikey and Nicky will be screened. Mr. Malle, a provocative director of sensual images who has experimented with a variety of film forms, will present his 1980 film Atlantic City, starring Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon, on Monday, December 8, at 6:00 p.m. In Mikey and Nicky Ms. May tailors the framing and dialogue to the personalities of the actors John Cassavetes and Peter Falk. Convinced that a contract is out for him, Nicky (Cassavetes), a small-time hood, calls his childhood friend Mikey (Falk), a syndicate man. Their one night encounter is the focus of the film. A seemingly casual approach cleverly disguises a tight, carefully-planned structure. From a screenplay by John Guare, Mr. Malle's Atlantic City uses the transitory character of the boardwalk town as a backdrop for a tale of decay and corruption. Mr. Lancaster plays the aging friend and protector of an ambitious nightclub croupier, played by Ms. Sarandon. As a child Ms. May appeared on stage and radio with her father, Jack Berlin. After collaborating with Mike Nichols on stage, radio, and television through the mid-sixties, she made her film acting debut in Clive - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y 10019 Teh 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNARI Telex: 62370MODART - 2 - Donner's Luv (1967) and Carl Reiner's Enter Laughing (1967).

    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007

    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

    Painfully Funny the Complete Directorial Works of Elaine May

    THE BADLANDS COLLECTIVE presents PAINFULLY FUNNY THE COMPLETE DIRECTORIAL WORKS OF ELAINE MAY INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS, LONDON SEPTEMBER 21-23, 2018 PAINFULLY FUNNY THE COMPLETE DIRECTORIAL WORKS OF ELAINE MAY Elaine May is a legend in the world of comedy – acknowledged as an influence by comics such as Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin, Woody Allen and countless others – but her work as a movie director has become curiously and unjustly obscure. While other filmmakers who emerged in the New Hollywood of the 1970s have become venerated icons, Elaine May’s films have fallen out of the conversation, and in some cases have fallen out of circulation entirely. With this retrospective, we’re pleased to bring her back into the limelight and hail her as one of the most brilliant artists from that exalted generation of American directors. May directed four theatrical feature films, three of which resulted in fierce behind-the- scenes battles before they finally reached cinemas, with May fighting to protect the integrity of her vision. Her background in improvisation – developed with the Compass Players, before she and Mike Nichols revolutionised American comedy in the late 1950s – led to her taking an exacting, exploratory approach to filmmaking. She would shoot dozens of takes for a single scene, exhausting every possible variation and often filming with multiple cameras in a constant attempt to capture spontaneous moments of inspiration, humour and truth. When editing she relished pauses, dead spots and extended moments of awkwardness, adding a tension underneath the films’ comic surface. May’s filmmaking style inevitably led to her amassing mountains of footage, missing deadlines, going over budget and falling out of favour with the studios, but it also produced films with an energy, rhythm and edge that distinguishes them from their contemporaries and elevates them beyond genre conventions.

À Eide Sandra Azevedo Abreu, por ter me incentivado a trilhar novamente o caminho acadêmico e pela ajuda inestimável na redação do projeto.

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.
