  • The Golden Door
    THE GOLDEN DOOR Nuovomondo (The Golden Door) Directed by Emanuele Crialese Produced by Bernard Bouix Tommaso Calevi Alexandre Mallet-Guy Written by Emanuele Crialese Starring Charlotte Gainsbourg Vincenzo Amato Francesco Casisa Filippo Pucillo Vincent Schiavelli Music by Antonio Castrigano Editing by Maryline Monthieux Distributed by Miramax Release date(s) May 25, 2007 (US limited) September 22, 2006 (Italy) Running time 120 min. Country Italy Language Italian, English Budget ~ €10,000,000 Nuovomondo literally, new world (The Golden Door) is a 2006 drama based around a family's migration from Italy to New York during the beginning of the 20th Century. The film is set in both Italy and The United States. The film is written and directed by Emanuele Crialese. Vincent Schiavelli, whose character was originally planned to play a major part, died during the filming, forcing his role to become a supporting character. The movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 8, 2006 to critical praise and seven nominations (with six wins) at the Festival. Many praised the director's focus on sound and visual composition. Others focused on the lack of typical iconography of the time (such as the Statue of Liberty). Martin Scorsese will be featured in the marketing for the film. He will also introduce the film at the Tribeca Film Festival. Plot summary During the turn of the 20th Century, the poor Mancuso family (headed by the widowed Salvatore, Vincenzo Amato), from Sicily, Italy, emigrates to the United States. They dream of the land of opportunity, where giant vegetables are grown, people swim in milk, and coins fall from the sky.

  • The New Morphology of European Film Festivals (Case Study: Transilvania
    The 2017 WEI International Academic Conference Proceedings Barcelona, Spain THE NEW MORPHOLOGY OF EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVALS (CASE STUDY: TRANSILVANIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL) lecturer Ileana Nicoleta Sălcudean Cinematography and Media Department Faculty of Theater and Television Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Abstract: The international film festivals are nevertheless ”inherently linked to societal and cultural concerns” (Elsaesser 2005, 27). The new morphology of film festivals brings a new light on film festivals and the theory of culture, especially with the new reconfiguration of festivals Europe, the insertion of new technologies and new opportunities to create networks. The research approach is defined at the intersection of cultural studies, sociology of culture and cultural anthropology, seeking a new vocabulary of film culture in the new socio-political context. In terms of cultural studies I analyze the social and political context of creative industries (mainly film production); an important contribution of cultural studies and sociology of culture refers to the tension between citizenship and consumerism. From the point of view of cultural anthropology, I analyze the new film festival rendering the distinction space/ place; mapping/ tracking (Elsaesser, 2004, pp. 185-188) replacing universal/ particular; local/ global, following contemporary approaches of convergence and network as more efficient in the globalization context. European film festivals shift away from the stereotyped category of nation and auteur as connected to Europe towards the global economy and the city (Valck, 2007, p. 30). The case study of Transilvania International Film Festival is bringing forth questions regarding the Western European vs. Eastern European film festival models and how are the Eastern and Central European festivals incorporating the traits of the Western European film festival.

  • Anna's War by A.Fedorchenko (Premiere IFFR 2018)
    ANNA’S WAR by Aleksey Fedorchenko World premiere International Film Festival Rotterdam Section: Voices Screenings IFFR: Sun 28 Jan, 14:30, Doelen Jurriaanse Zaal - P&I screening Sun 28 Jan, 20:00, Pathé 1 - world premiere Mon 29 Jan, 10:00, Pathé 5 Tue 30 Jan, 10:30, LantarenVenster 1 Fri 2 Feb, 13:30, Doelen Jurriaanse Zaal Press contact: NOISE Film PR Mirjam Wiekenkamp [email protected] +49 176 28771839 SYNOPSIS It is the year 1941. Amidst the mass coordinated execution of Jews the entire family of a 6-year-old Anna dies. Her mother covers Anna up with her own body, and the girl miraculously survives. She hides in the disused chimney in the Nazi commander’s office - without food or water, in solitude and fear. So begins a story of the struggle for life that lasts for over two years. So begins this story of the struggle for life, of fighting against the huge and terrifying world of adults. The story of a war in which a little Jewish girl prevails. Anna’s War has been financed through private funding only. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT ​ ​ A little Jewish girl and the Second World War. One and only hero. Cinematic space is limited to the insides of a fireplace, and the geography of events is limited to the classroom of a village school that had been turned into a Nazi commandant’s office. Inside the fireplace the girl finds a safe place where she makes a nest for herself. A home. Outside is an insane world of adults. We see it’s reflection in a bubbly amalgam on the old mirror.
