Internationale Filmfestspiele Berlin Grußwort Dieter Kosslick Ein Filmfestival ist immer auch Seismograf, Diskurs und Spiegel der Realität. Die Künstler reflektieren audiovisuell die Welt. Und die ist in Bewegung, im Wortsinn: Millionen von Menschen sind auf „Wanderschaft“. Die meisten nicht freiwillig. Viele sind auf der Flucht. In diesem Jahr will sich die Berlinale besonders für Menschen engagieren, die nicht nur die Flucht, sondern auch Verfolgung, Kriegsgewalt und Folter durchleben mussten. Um sie kümmert sich das Behandlungszentrum für Folteropfer e. V. (bzfo) in besonderer Weise. Für diese Initiative bitten wir um Spenden. Vielen Dank! Ein Festival ist aber natürlich auch immer eine Feier der Kunst und des Handwerks. 2016 eröffnet die Berlinale mit einer Hommage an die Filmwerkstatt. Wer könnte das besser als die Brüder Coen. Mit Hail, Caesar! führen sie uns hinter die Kulissen der Traumfabrik Hollywood. Der Goldene Ehrenbär wird einem ganz großen Meister der Kamerakunst verliehen. Er hat uns unvergleichliche Momente geschenkt, ungezählte Male sein Auge geliehen. Mehr als 130 Filmen hat er Bewegung gegeben und der Filmgeschichte die kreisende Kamerafahrt geschenkt: der Director of Photography Michael Ballhaus. Und es gibt ein Jubiläum. Zum 30. Mal wird in diesem Jahr der Teddy Award verliehen, der weltweit wichtigste Preis für schwul-lesbisches/queeres Kino. Wir gratulieren dem Panorama, dem Kurator Wieland Speck und seinem Team ganz herzlich zum fulminanten Jubiläumsprogramm. Die sagenhafte Route 66 verbindet Orte eines Kontinents, kreuzt Straßen und Knotenpunkte. Das will die Berlinale mit den ausgewählten Filmen auch. „Get Your Kicks on Route 66“ sang Nat King Cole 1946. Get your kicks at Berlinale sixty six! Und kommen Sie ins Kino. Wir freuen uns auf Sie. Willkommen auf der 66. Berlinale! Ihr Dieter Kosslick Festivaldirektor Seite 3 von 105 66. Internationale Filmfestspiele Berlin Seite 4 von 105 66.

  • La Scorta Dear Moviegoer, Are You Tired of the Explosions and Broken
    La Scorta Dear Moviegoer, are you tired of the explosions and broken glass of True Lies , Speed, Blown Away, and Clear and Present Danger ? Weary of the cartoon characters and cartoon plots of movies like Maverick,The Mask, or Baby’s Day Out ? Ready for some real adult (no, I don’t mean that kind of “adult”) entertainment with real tension, pace and motivation which is modeled carefully on actual events? Then try La Scorta (“The Escort”), an outstanding Italian film from a director who is one to watch. La Scorta, directed by Ricky Tognazzi, is as fresh and vivid as the Italian crime headlines of the last few years, due in great part to its being based on the real experiences of one Francesco Taurisano as an investigating magistrate (called a “judge” in the sub-titles) in Sicily during the late 1980’s. It is such judges, at least the honorable ones, who have become the target of Mafia hit men as they plumbed closer and closer to the heart of Cosa Nostra operations. The most infamous of these assassinations was that of the anti-Mafia Judge Giovanni Falcone, killed in a car bomb in May 1992. This is not, then, a world of facile and meaningless blow-’em-ups where Schwarzenegger or Stallone dwell, but the real, nasty thing, happening in one of Europe’s established democracies. The film follows four policemen who find themselves assigned as the protective escort for one of these investigating magistrates working in the town of Trapani, in the far northwest corner of Sicily.

  • 43E Festival International Du Film De La Rochelle Du 26 Juin Au 5 Juillet 2015 Le Puzzle Des Cinémas Du Monde
    43e Festival International du Film de La Rochelle du 26 juin au 5 juillet 2015 LE PUZZLE DES CINÉMAS DU MONDE Une fois de plus nous revient l’impossible tâche de synthétiser une édition multiforme, tant par le nombre de films présentés que par les contextes dans lesquels ils ont été conçus. Nous ne pouvons nous résoudre à en sélectionner beaucoup moins, ce n’est pas faute d’essayer, et de toutes manières, un contexte économique plutôt inquiétant nous y contraint ; mais qu’une ou plusieurs pièces essentielles viennent à manquer au puzzle mental dont nous tentons, à l’année, de joindre les pièces irrégulières, et le Festival nous paraîtrait bancal. Finalement, ce qui rassemble tous ces films, qu’ils soient encore matériels ou virtuels (50/50), c’est nous, sélectionneuses au long cours. Nous souhaitons proposer aux spectateurs un panorama généreux de la chose filmique, cohérent, harmonieux, digne, sincère, quoique, la sincérité… Ambitieux aussi car nous aimons plus que tout les cinéastes qui prennent des risques et notre devise secrète pourrait bien être : mieux vaut un bon film raté qu’un mauvais film réussi. Et enfin, il nous plaît que les films se parlent, se rencontrent, s’éclairent les uns les autres et entrent en résonance dans l’esprit du festivalier. En 2015, nous avons procédé à un rééquilibrage géographique vers l’Asie, absente depuis plusieurs éditions de la programmation. Tout d’abord, avec le grand Hou Hsiao-hsien qui en est un digne représentant puisqu’il a tourné non seulement à Taïwan, son île natale mais aussi au Japon, à Hongkong et en Chine.

  • 'Memory,' 'Serpent,' 'Truman,' 'Magallanes'
    ‘Memory,’ ‘Serpent,’ ‘Truman,’ ‘Magallanes’ Vie For Platino Glory Emilio Mayorga COURTESY: LLEIDA LATIN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL APRIL 14, 2016 | 11:44AM PT Latin Platino Awards reveals shorter longlist in Santo Domingo SANTO DOMINGO– Matías Bize’s “The Memory of Water,” Salvador del Solar’s “Magallanes,” Ciro Guerra’s “Embrace of the Serpent” and Cesc Gay’s “Truman” figure among 20 Platino Award best pic nomination candidates announced Thursday at a press-conference in Santo Domingo. Pablo Trapero’s “The Clan,” Pablo Larrain’s “The Club,” Federico Veiroj’s “The Apostate” and Paula Ortiz’s “The Bride” also made the best pic cut for the third Platino kudofest, awards aimed at highlighting talent and movies from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Starring Elena Anaya and Benjamín Vicuña as a couple battling to overcome the loss of their small son, “Memory” competed at 2015’s Venice Days and took the Silver Colon at Spain’s Huelva Fest. Sold by Germany’s Global Screen, it most recently received plaudits from critics and audiences at this week’s Latin American Fest in Lleida, Spain. Handled by Filmax Intl., melancholy friendship dramedy “Truman” has swept awards at multiple events this season. Produced by Spain’s Impossible Films, the seventh feature of Cesc Gay is co-produced out of Argentina by K & S and Telefonica Studios/Telefe, two shingles behind Damian Szifron’s “Wild Tales” — which swept the 2nd Platino Awards — and “The Clan” — also in the running this year. Produced by Peru’s Pendulo Films and Tondero Films, Argentina’s Cepa Audiovisual and Colombia’s Cinerama and Proyectil, “Magallanes,” which is the directorial debut of Peruvian thesp Salvador del Solar (“Pantaleon y las Visitadores”), is one of the highest- profile titles from a national cinema, Peru, which, like Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Venezuela and this year Chile, has seen local movies fire up appreciable market share at their domestic box office.

  • Mark Kermode's Best Films of 2019
    Mark Kermode’s best films of 2019 @KermodeMovie - The Guardian Sun 29 Dec 2019 06.00 GMTLast modified on Tue 31 Dec 2019 15.51 GMT 2019 was the year that Netflix movies came of age, and ageing actors were made young again. At the 91st Oscars in February, the bland Green Book beat the superior BlackKklansman to the best picture award, although Spike Leewon his first competitive Oscar in the adapted screenplay category. Rami Malik scooped best actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, but best actress Olivia Colman (The Favourite) stole the evening with one of the funniest and most self- deprecating acceptance speeches ever (complete with raspberry-blowing). More significantly, Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma won for cinematography, direction and best foreign language film, despite naysayers’ complaints that Netflix-backed movies were essentially made-for-TV films. That attitude is now history: in the forthcoming awards season, the platform has several contenders, including Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story and Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman. The Irishman marked a watershed moment for “digital de-ageing”, with innovative technology allowing Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci to play characters much younger than themselves. We’ve seen de-aging elsewhere (from Captain Marvel to Gemini Man), but never this unobtrusively. Alongside the release of its first original animated feature, Sergio Pablos’s Klaus, Netflix also picked up distribution rights for I Lost My Body, which made history when it took the top prize in the Critics’ Week section at Cannes in May. More family-friendly releases – Frozen II, Toy Story 4 and a weirdly photorealist rehash of The Lion King – may have dominated the box office in 2019, but I Lost My Body was my favourite animated film of the year.

  • The Films of Ciro Guerra and the Making of Cosmopolitan Spaces in Colombian Cinema
    The Films of Ciro Guerra and the Making of Cosmopolitan Spaces in Colombian Cinema Maria Luna and Philippe Meers Abstract: This article proposes to use the concept of “cosmopolitan cinematic margins” to analyse the paradoxical meeting of the cosmopolitan meaning and discourses of Ciro Guerra’s Colombian films and the spatial restrictions and immobility of the rural and remote places in which they are set. Such areas as seen on screen are usually interpreted by urban audiences as exotic locations, independently of their actual distance from cities. The article explores how films that, at first sight, show images of marginal and remote places like the Colombian Amazonian Jungle, when inserted into a global context—such as the hierarchical system of international film festivals—become symbols of cosmopolitan cinematic margins, and represent a country in the global spaces that legitimise the importance of that country’s film production. The cosmopolitan cinematic margins in the films of Guerra are then strategically situated in environments of global mobility and international prestige. Introduction The three feature films directed thus far by Colombian filmmaker Ciro Guerra— Wandering Shadows (La sombra del caminante, 2004), The Wind Journeys (Los viajes del viento, 2009) and Embrace of the Serpent (El abrazo de la serpiente, 2015)— were all produced by the independent production house Ciudad Lunar. They show the dynamics and tensions in the making of a cosmopolitan cinematic space within a peripheral cinema or “small cinema”, expressions that will be used in this article to remark the particular position of the cinemas of the “remaining countries” beyond the dominant production of Argentina, Mexico and Brazil—also known as “the big three” (Falicov and Middents 115).

  • Crònica D'un Any 2013 Eudald Camps Jordi Camps Ramon Girona
    Crònica d’un any 2013 Eudald Camps Jordi Camps Ramon Girona Christian G. Carlos Ingrid Guardiola Imma Merino Salvador Montalt Àngel Quintana Carles Ribas Jep Soler Marta Sureda Guillem Terribas 13 Paco Vilallonga CRÒNICA DEL TRETZÈ ANIVERSARI Company de fatigues La primera vegada que vaig posar l’ull darrere la càmera pensant en una ficció que tenia lloc a l’altre costat, la primera vegada que vaig rodar una escena, va ser al Cinema Truffaut. Era el meu primer curtmetratge, un homenatge a Nanni Moretti amb Guillem Terribas com a perfecte alter ego del director italià, un Carles Ribas interpretativament genial i l’aparició estel·lar de l’Eudald Camps. La idea sortia del mateix Cinema Truffaut i per mi va ser el començament del meu camí com a realitzador. Inexpert, anava a rodar sense pla de rodatge. Arribàvem al set de rodatge i decidíem sobre la marxa l’escena que filmaríem, però amb molt bona voluntat i passió, això sí. L’objectiu del curt era agermanar el Cinema Truffaut amb el cinema que Moretti té a Roma: el Nuovo Sacher. Malauradament l’agermanament mai no es va produir, però per mi va ser un gran aprenentatge. Per exemple, després d’un primer visionat, el curt quedava massa llarg i en Josep Mir, amb rostre sever, em va dir: «Talla. Talla sense pietat». Aquest ha estat sens dubte el millor consell de muntatge que m’han donat mai, tot i que he tardat anys a assimilar-lo i en saber-lo aplicar. A partir d’aquell moment, a través del Col·lectiu que Crítics, el Cinema Truffaut ha estat la casa de les meves pel·lícules.
