  • Embodying the Rca's Values
    WORLD LEADEREMBODYING THE RCA’S VALUES ‘I am thrilled to be Chancellor of the RCA at this pivotal moment. The College has had a profound influence on many generations of artists and designers that I admire. My own team at Apple includes many RCA alumni, all of whom embody the fundamental values of the College. I look forward to being part of this exciting next phase of growth and development and ask you to join me in supporting the RCA’s compelling vision for the future of education, research and innovation in art and design.’ Sir Jony Ive KBE Chancellor, Royal College of Art Chief Design Officer, Apple 33 Annual Report & Accounts 2017/18 34 Annual Report & Accounts 2017/18 ‘At College, I was able to work with artists, animators, sound designers, fashion and graphic designers, to pull them into the world of film and learn from them. Film encompasses all of these disciplines, and it was that unique environment that taught me to make films that were visually compelling. Of the films that I’ve subsequently made, all of them somehow link back to what I learnt at the RCA.’ Asif Kapadia (MA Film & Television, 1997) Asif Kapadia is an Academy Award and four time Bafta-winning writer/director. Following his debut feature The Warrior (2001) and Far North (2007), international box office hit Senna (2012) established Kapadia as a vital name in documentary film. This success was triumphantly surpassed by Amy (2015), the moving documentary about singer Amy Winehouse, which won an Academy Award and is now the highest grossing UK documentary of all time.

  • Presskit Diego Maradona
    PRESSKIT DIEGO MARADONA Dokument / Životopisný, Velká Británie, 2019 130 min Režie: Asif Kapadia Hudba: Antonio Pinto Střih: Chris King Premiéra: 18. července 2019 Distribuce ČR: KVIFF Distribution Trailer: https://youtu.be/Oyd1rIzO5ws Více informací o filmu: https://www.kviffdistribution.cz/diego-maradona/ PRESS KONTAKT: KVIFF Distribution | Radka Urbancová | [email protected] | +420 774 483 165 Fotografie v tiskové kvalitě a další materiály ke stažení najdete na úložném systému aero.capsa.cz (přístupové údaje na vyžádání). SYNOPSE Diego je usměvavý kluk z předměstí, který miluje fotbal a svou velkou rodinu. Díky obrovskému talentu plní sny sobě, svým blízkým i stovkám milionů fanoušků po celém světě. V Neapoli, kde by i ďábel potřeboval bodyguarda, se Diego stává Bohem. Fanatický obdiv a slávu je těžké ustát a Diego skrývá svou lidskou tvář čím dál víc pod masku Maradony. Tomu nejsou cizí divoké večírky, nevěry, podvody, kokain ani pletky s mafií. Zničující spirála se roztáčí. Strhující portrét jedné z nejslavnějších a nejvíce kontroverzních osobností vůbec poskládal držitel Oscara Asif Kapadia (Senna, Amy) z více než 500 hodin záběrů z Maradonova soukromého archivu. PROČ TENTO FILM „Hlubokých lidských příběhů slavných osobností tu bylo už mnoho. U Senny a Amy jsem si potvrdila, že nejlíp je umí zpracovat Asif Kapadia. Je fascinující, jak komplexní a probarvený příběh dokáže poskládat bez mluvících hlav a umělých rekonstrukcí situací, pouze s použitím autentických archivů. U Diega Maradony nejenže Kapadia odvedl opět skvělou práci, ale nabídl mi dokonce ještě něco navíc. Je to moment, kdy Diega odsoudí celá Itálie, přestože dělal jen to, co umí nejlíp a co po něm celý život všichni chtěli, hrál fotbal a dal gól.

  • Production Notes
    Production Notes @AmyFilmUK #AmyFilm AmyFilm 1 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION When filmmakers Asif Kapadia (director), James Gay-Rees (producer) and Chris King (editor) collaborated on the 2010 documentary SENNA, which charted the story of acclaimed F1 driver Ayrton Senna, they earned a clutch of awards (including two BAFTAs) and a mass of critical plaudits. Such is the film’s popularity, however, it still serves up fresh opportunities. Two years after SENNA’s theatrical release, Gay-Rees was approached by David Joseph, the chairman and CEO of Universal Music UK, who asked whether the team would be interested in turning their talents to another story about a modern-day icon whose life had ended in tragic circumstances. “David said, ‘Would you be interested in making a movie in the style of SENNA which captures the musical genius of Amy Winehouse,’” Gay-Rees recalls. “And it took me about a nanosecond to go, ‘Yes! We’re up for it. Absolutely.’” Gay-Rees had not considered the Amy Winehouse story up until that point. “But I knew instinctively that there was something interesting going on there,” he says. “I immediately called Asif. We weren’t actively looking for something to do together after SENNA, but he said yes straight away.” Like Winehouse, Asif Kapadia grew up in North London and though the majority of his films have been shot overseas, he was keen to focus his talents on his hometown. He had recently shot Odyssey, one of four films about London that were commissioned for the 2012 Olympics. “When James called me I was living in Turnpike Lane,” he remembers.

Park City, UT — Sundance Institute has summoned 23 film, theatre, culture and science experts for jury duty to award 27 prizes at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, January 21-31 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah. Also announced today, filmmaker and Institute alum Taika Waititi will host the feature film Awards Ceremony on Saturday, January 30 at 7:00 p.m. MT, which will be live streamed at sundance.org. Waititi will be premiering his latest film Hunt for the Wilderpeople at the Festival, has written and directed What We Do in the Shadows (2015), BOY (2010) and Eagle vs. Shark (2007) and he will direct the upcoming Thor 3. His previous films have been supported by Sundance Institute’s Screenwriters and Directors Labs as well as its Native American and Indigenous Film Program. Hailing from the sub-sub-tropical continent of New Zealand, Oscar-losing director Waititi says he invented the sideways “Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout?” look. The six juries of film and culture leaders screen all films in their respective sections and jointly decide which standout artistic and story elements to recognize with prizes. In addition, Festival audiences vote for their favorite films and five Audience Awards are given to films in the U.S.

A través de imágenes íntimas y canciones inéditas, esta película sorprendentemente moderna, ágil y vital nos muestra lo duro que es el mundo en el que vivimos de una manera que muy pocas películas han conseguido transmitir. Amy fue uno de esos talentos únicos que surge en cada generación y una artista de jazz en el sentido más puro del género. Escribió y cantó desde el corazón usando sus dotes musicales para analizar sus propios problemas. La combinación de su cruda honestidad y su increíble talento la llevaron a ganar seis Grammy, y a componer algunas de las canciones más originales y adoradas del siglo XXI. Su gran éxito, sin embargo, dio lugar a una exposición mediática implaca- ble e invasiva que, unida a las relaciones conflictivas de Amy y a su trepi- dante estilo de vida hizo que su vida trágicamente comenzara a desmoro- narse, hasta su muerte en julio de 2011 a la edad de 27 años, debido a una intoxicación etílica.

Nell’agosto di cinque anni dopo i fratelli Gallagher furono protagonisti di qualcosa mai visto prima. I loro concerti a Knebworth con un pubblico di 250.000 persone - e altri 2 milioni e mezzo di persone alla ricerca di biglietti - furono gli eventi più seguiti di quel periodo. Per tutti coloro che sono cresciuti negli anni novanta, c’era una sola band che contava. Al culmine del loro successo, infatti, gli Oasis non avevano concorrenti. Questo film parla di loro, di quella band che ha cambiato il suono di una generazione, scrivendo a tutti gli effetti una pagina memorabile di storia della musica. 2 NOTE DI PRODUZIONE Con l’avvicinarsi del 20° anniversario del leggendario doppio concerto degli Oasis al festival rock di Knebworth, Simon Halfon – un vecchio amico dei fratelli Gallagher – ha pensato che fosse venuto il momento di celebrare questa straordinaria band con un documentario. “Ho conosciuto gli Oasis più o meno in quel periodo, attraverso il mio amico Paul Weller, e nel 1994 ho cominciato a lavorare per loro come grafico delle copertine della band”, ricorda Simon.

  • 17.-23. Oktober 2002 På Bergen Kino
    17.-23. OKTOBER 2002 PÅ BERGEN KINO www.filmweb.no/biff - - Fuck society and skate! Ikke det at vi skal ta æren for noe som helst, men det er jo et flott sammentreff at Bergen akkurat nå kan by på så mange kreative miljøer innen filmproduksjon, samtidig som BIFF går inn i sitt tredje og avgjørende år. Det virker på oss som noen synergieffekter er i sving her, slik tilfellet også var i engen Tromsø da filmfestivalen der oppe så dagens lys. BIFF 2002 starter med gruppen HIMMELFALL av Gunnar Vikene og avsluttes med VELKOMMEN HJEM av Trond Kvist. To sterke bevis på at også Bergen endelig får det til på filmfronten. Og inn imellom presenterer festivalen flere andre eksempler på bergenske og vestlandske ”bobler” som det heter i en gratisavis. Folk er på vei og har stå-på-vilje til tusen. Og takk for dét! Sett BIFF på høstmenyen! Det vanligste spørsmålet en festivalleder får, er om det finnes røde tråder i programmet. Etter å ha programmert til sammen 11 filmfestivaler og flere filmmønstringer, tror jeg for første gang jeg kan - Enhver film bør ha en begynnelse, en midte og en slutt. si Ja! - det finnes en sterk rød tråd, men med mange frynser, selvfølgelig. Mange av filmene Men ikke nødvendigvis i den rekkefølgen, har den legendariske franske filmregissøren Jean-Luc avspeiler reaksjoner mot konformitet, mot det bestående og såkalte gjengse samfunnsoppfatninger. Godard sagt. Og mot kjedsommelighet. Så er det de helt eksplisitte beskrivelser av opprørsfenomener mot nettopp slike almenne holdninger. Tematisk dreier mange av filmene seg altså om mennesker på Med andre ord; en film skal kunne bryte med inngrodde oppfatninger.
