    Mysterious skin L'été de mes huit ans, 5 heures ont disparu de ma vie… Un film de GREGG ARAKI FESTIVAL DE VENISE 2004 FORTISSIMO FILMS ET MK2 DIFFUSION PRESENTENT Mysterious skin Un film de GREGG ARAKI Adapté du roman éponyme de SCOTT HEIM USA - 2004 - 1h39 - 35 mm - couleur - 1.85 - Dolby SRD DISTRIBUTION Mont-Blanc-Distribution 11 Rue Ferdinand Hodler Tél. +41 (0)22 700 76 00 / Fax +41 (0)22 700 76 11 www.mont-blanc-distribution.ch Synopsis A huit ans, Brian Lackey se réveille dans la cave de sa maison, le nez en sang, sans aucune idée de ce qui a pu lui arriver. Mais sa vie change complètement après cet incident : peur du noir, cauchemars, évanouissements... Dix ans plus tard, Brian est certain d’avoir été enlevé par des extraterrestres et pense que seul Neil Mc Cormick pourrait avoir la clé de l’énigme. Neil est un jeune marginal à la beauté du diable, une petite frappe dont tout le monde tombe amoureux mais qui ne s’attache à personne. Il regrette encore la relation qu’il avait établie avec son coach de baseball quand il avait huit ans. Brian tente de retrouver Neil pour dénouer le mystère qui les empêche de vivre... Notes du réalisateur Lorsque j'ai reçu en 1995 le premier roman de Scott Heim, Mysterious Skin, j'ai pensé que c'était l'histoire la plus belle, la plus poétique et la plus étrangement puissante que j'aie lue. Elle m'a littéralement ému aux larmes, ce qui ne m'était jamais arrivé avec un texte et ce qui ne s'est pas reproduit depuis.

    Neil Halstead: Warm, Inviting And Pastoral : NPR Music 10/31/08 1:23 PM Login | Register FAVORITE SESSIONS Neil Halstead: Warm, Inviting And Pastoral By Cheryl Waters Listen Now: Neil Halstead On KEXP add to playlist | download KEXP, October 28, 2008 - Listening to Neil Halstead, I always run through a gamut of emotions: No matter what's going on in my life, his music puts me into a blissful dream state, and I'm happy. Yet at the same time, his breathtaking voice and guitar work are beautiful enough to make me want to weep. When he performed this session at KEXP, I was eager to see what emotions he'd put me through this time. I've been a fan of Halstead's work since he was essentially a kid making fuzzy, distorted noise in the influential shoegazer band Slowdive. But now he's all grown up, and after drifting through the dusty fields of Mojave 3, he's settled into a Laura Totten stunning yet carefree style. As I listened to him in this Neil Halstead performs at KEXP studios. session, I couldn't help but think that this was the music he JUST THE MUSIC was meant to play — warm, inviting and pastoral. 'OH! MIGHTY ENGINE' add While he played songs from his latest album, Oh! Mighty Engine, I caught myself smiling at times and tearing up at others, and at the end found myself rendered speechless. 'ELEVENSES' "Wow," was I all could say to one of the most satisfying in- add studio performances I've ever heard.

    A UNIQUE FUNDING TRIANGLE CREATES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR URBAN BOYS AND GIRLS The Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (TAP) In our quest to improve the quality of life for Boston's youth the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston depends heavily on the generosity of others. The Frito-Lay Company is a prime exam­ ple of an advocate of the Clubs via an imaginative funding triangle thanks to the New England Patriots. Here's how it works. As the Patriots score points. Frito-Lay scores for the children of Boston, donating $100 to the Boys' and Girls Clubs for each point! This totaled $54.600 in 1980 alone! Throughout the country and. of course. in Boston. businessmen. parents. and the community at large hail this program as one of the most creative charitable donations in ex­ istence. The funds are designated for a very special purpose ...the Boys and Girls Clubs-Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (known as the Frito-Lay TAP). This education program directly serves over 1,000 children in each of three Clubhouses. Counsellors and tutors reinforce school work, stressing the importance of a well-rounded education. Like the athlete, the student is taught to work daily to improve his skills.Each youngster's individual needs deter­ mine the type of supplemental training he or she receives. Some require help in vocabulary and reading.Others lack suffi­ cient mathematic skills. Still others reap the benefits of science instruction through practical lessons at the Museum of Science. The TAP program provides a strong base for the educational and emotional development of our inner-city kids.
