THE PROPAGANDA GAME a documentary by Alvaro Longoria By the director of Sons of the Clouds

North Korea. The last communist country in the world. Unknown, hermetic and fascinating. Formerly known as “The Hermit Kingdom” for its attempts to remain isolated, North Korea is one of the largest sources of instability as regards to world peace. It also has the most militarized border in the world, and the flow of impartial information, both going in and out, is practically non-existent. As the recent Sony-leaks has shown, it is the perfect setting for a propaganda war.

James White is a troubled twentysomething trying to stay afloat in a frenzied . As he retreats further into a hedonistic lifestyle, his mother’s battle with a serious illness faces a series of setbacks that force him to assume more responsibility. With the pressure on him mounting, James must find new reserves of strength or risk imploding completely

“Knockout performances by Cynthia Nixon and ‘Girls’ alumnus Christopher Abbott. ‘James White’ could be considered Mond’s ‘Amour’, albeit seen through the eyes of a child rather than a spouse.” VARIETY “No film at Sundance this year hit me with more force emotionally than Josh Mond’s ‘James White’. Devastating. Abbott is simply phenomenal here.” Robert Ebert.com “This extraordinarily intimate drama marks an arresting feature debut for writer-director Josh Mond. A viscerally acted drama whose rich visual and sonic textures intensify the plunge into the title character’s messy life.” The Hollywood Reporter “Standing high above the rest of the films at Sundance this year, Mond’s directorial debut is a must-see. Cynthia Nixon is stunning in the role of James’ mother, generous, unselfconscious and heartbreaking.” THE HUFFINGTON POST

Summer 1910. Several tourists have vanished while relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the Channel Coast. Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather that the epicenter of these mysterious disap- pearances must be Slack Bay, a unique site where the Slack river and the sea join only at high tide. There lives a small community of fishermen and other oyster farmers. Among them evolves a curious family, the Bréfort, renowned ferrymen of the Slack Bay, lead by the father nick-named “The Eternal”, who rules as best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, especially the impetu-

Towering high above the bay stands the Van Peteghems’ mansion. Every summer, this bourgeois family ­­– all degenerate and decadent from inbreeding – stagnates in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure hours of walking, sailing or bathing, with the ordinary local people, Ma Loute and the other Bréforts. Over the course of five days, as starts a peculiar love story between Ma Loute and the young and mischievous Billie Van Peteghem, confusion and mystification will descend on both families, shaking their convictions, foundations and way of life.

The Earth has stopped spinning and days have stopped passing by. One toxic, dense fog covers the forest immersed in eternal twilight. Argel has spent his life, with his two siblings, locked inside the basement of an old cabin. They believe that a wild beast wanders in the forest’s depths. When his older brother mysteriously disappears, Argel undertakes a quest which will cause him to break the order and the rules with which he has grown up. Little by little he will discover the darkest secrets and mysteries that both his father and the forest hide.

While holidaying in Berlin, Australian photojournalist Clare meets Andi, a charismatic local man and there is an instant attraction between them. A night of passion ensues.

An easy mistake to make, of course, except Andi has no intention of letting her go again. Ever.

Philippe Mars is a reasonable man in an unreasonable world. He’s trying to be a good father, a kind ex-husband, a nice colleague, an understanding sibling… But ©DR ©DR the planets have not been exactly aligned in his favor lately. With his son turning into a hardcore vegan, his daughter into a pathological overachiever and his sister selling oversized paintings of their naked parents, it seems to our ever-so prudent Philippe that everyone around him is starting to behave more and more erratically… When his colleague (who also accidentally tried to chop off his ear in a fit of misplaced anger) moves into Philippe’s apartment, things start to go from bad to insane for our hero.

1921, the beginning of the Golden Twenties. Not far from . It is party day at Marguerite Dumont’s castle. Like every year, an array of music lovers gathers around a great cause at the owner’s place. Nobody knows much about this woman except that she is rich and that her whole life is devoted to her passion: music. Marguerite sings. She sings wholeheartedly, but she sings terribly out of tune. In ways quite similar to the Castafiore,M arguerite has been living her passion in her own bubble, and the hypocrite audience, always coming in for a good laugh, acts as if she was the diva she believes she is. When a young, provocative journalist decides to write a rave article on her latest performance, Marguerite starts to believe even further in her talent. This gives her the courage she needs to follow her dream. Despite her husband’s reluctance, and with the help of a has-been divo, both funny and mean, she decides to train for her first recital in front of a crowd of complete strangers.

Poland, nowadays. The intertwined stories of a criminal prosecutor, his anorexic daughter and her therapist who claims she can communicate with the dead loved ones. Three radically different approaches to the body and soul.

“A quirky, intriguing drama with supernatural overtones sees Polish director Malgorzata Szumowska shift into an unexpected, and refreshing, darkly comic mode. ‘Body’ is fresh and original.” SCREENDAILY

“A darkly comic rumination on what it means to be alive.” VARIETY “Szumowska employs her clever writing and camera work in a new intense human subject: the body as a link between the soul and the world.” CINEUROPA “Performances are strong from all three principals, and promising newcomer Suwala is especially memorable.” THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Cop Car A film by Jon Watts By the director of Clown With Kevin Bacon and Shea Whingham (The Wolf of Wall Street, American Hustle)

A pair of ten-year-olds discover an abandoned cop car in a field. When they take it for a joyride they don’t know that a small town sheriff will soon be on their trail to recover his car — and what’s inside its trunk… The kids find themselves in the center of a deadly game of cat and mouse and the only way out is to go as fast as their stolen cop car can take them.

“A tight, easily marketable genre exercise that pushes its lean premise and all-around disrespect for authority to entertaining extremes.” VARIETY “The brisk 86 minutes fly by, keeping the story as lean and efficient as possible. The premise delivers on its entertaining potential with plenty of thrilling and often very funny surprises.” INDIEWIRE “Kevin Bacon, sporting a creepy moustache, is great, and both boys give strong, naturalistic performances. ‘Cop Car’ also marks Watts as a director to watch.” THE GUARDIAN “This film stands with the best of Americana independent genre films like ‘Mud’, ‘Shotgun Stories’, ‘Badlands’ and ‘Blue Ruin’ as well as the best of early Spielberg. An instant Americana genre film classic.” SOUND ON SIGHT

“A cult classic waiting to happen. ‘Cop Car’ is a damn awesome movie.” TWITCH
