37Th Portland International Film Festival, the Northwest Film Center’S Annual Showcase of New World ­Cinema THE NORT HWEST FILM CENTER / PORTLAND ART M USE UM PRESENTS 3 7TH PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL SPONSORED BY: THE OREGONIAN / THE PAUL G. ALLEN FAMILY FOUNDATION F E BRU ARY 6–22, 2014 WELCOME Welcome to the 37th Portland International Film Festival, the Northwest Film Center’s annual showcase of new world cinema. Like the Film Center’s Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival, which surveys outstanding new work by our region’s media makers, the Portland International Film Festival explores not only the art of film but also the world around us, no matter the place or the language spoken. The Festival is not just for cinephiles. The cultural diversity, the extraordinary range of subjects, genres, and experiences explored—for all ages and from matinee to midnight—invite exploration and discovery, movie-lover or not. We welcome you to join in this shared cinematic and community experience and let us know your reaction to the films and the event. We want to know, and the filmmakers want to know. If you are a Festival regular, you will recognize the many longtime sponsors who support the Festival and the Film Center. The array of Festival supporters is both impressive and appreciated. We thank them all for their ongoing support and are truly thankful for your efforts to let them know in the ways you can that this event is a valued part of your, and Portland’s, cultural mix. The gratitude, of course, extends to our Silver Screen Club members, to hundreds of volunteers and industry supporters, and to the dedicated, film-loving Film Center staff whose amazing, resourceful efforts make it all possible. This year we continue in our efforts to reach new audiences and are pleased to welcome a new theater and sponsor into the mix, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. OMSI’s new Empirical Theater is a dazzling facility, and we’re sure you will enjoy your experience there in the course of your cinema globetrotting. Wherever you go—in Portland or via film— we hope this year’s Festival takes you someplace you’ve never been and that you share your discovery. Enjoy!

    22 Hours Films Present ANGELS WEAR WHITE Written and directed by Vivian Qu China – 2017 – 107min – 1.85 – 5.1 - Color PhotosDow andnloa dpress the p rkites scan kit abend downloadedhigh rez image from:s: http://filmswelike.com/films/angels-wear-white Distributed in Canada by filmswelike SYNOPSIS In a small seaside town, two schoolgirls are assaulted by a middle-aged man in a motel. Mia, a teenager who was working on reception that night, is the only witness. For fear of losing her job, she says nothing. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Wen, one of the victims, finds that her troubles have only just begun. Trapped in a world that offers them no safety, Mia and Wen will have to find their own way out. This is a story about women. About the society that shapes our perceptions and values. About the choices that are allowed us and the courage to make different ones. DIRECTOR’S About the interchangeable roles of the victim and the bystander. About truth and justice. And above all, about love. STATEMENT DIRECTOR’S INTENTION NOTE Once during a scouting trip, I saw a young girl, 8 or 9 years old, playing alone on a long flight of steps against a hilltop. It was approaching dusk and the area was deserted. The girl was happy to see us and volunteered to be our model as we shot videos of the area. She told me that her parents, migrant workers from a faraway province, were still at work; that her home was in a basement at the bottom of the hill; that she had no friends.

We perceive and feel or vice versa, simultaneously, with reason and logic kicking in only much later in the process. It is possible for adults, as well as for children, to receive any number of sensory impressions and be none the richer. Sense impressions are not enough by themselves, for the mind needs education and training to be able to discriminate and appreciate, to distinguish, to categorize and to relate new information to what one already knows.

    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.

The absolute non-seriousness that characterized grotesque realism became a successful and relatively safe way to talk about the absurdities and the failures of the communist system. This modality, however, was not exclusive to the communist era but stretched back to the Austro-Hungarian era and forward into the Postcommunist times.

Un officier de police et un petit dealer devenu indic tentent coûte que coûte de faire tomber l’un des plus gros trafiquants de la ville, mettant en jeu leur réputation, la sécurité de leur famille… et leur vie. NOTE DU RÉALISATEUR Le scénario est le fruit d’une compilation d’histoires recueillies à partir de recherches et d’entretiens avec des personnes impliquées dans le trafic de drogue aux Philippines. Le défi consistait à harmoniser ces différentes perspectives en un point de vue cohérent. Récemment, les trafiquants aux Philippines ont eu recours à une nouvelle méthode leur permettant de déplacer la marchandise (en l’occurrence, du Shabu ou de la méthamphétamine) tout en évitant des détections et des arrestations : les pigeons. Dans ce film, le pigeon, en tant que passeur, est utilisé comme point de vue unifié de tous les personnages.
