But it’s not that easy to forget the war and leave violence behind. DECOMPRESSION PROGRAM since 2008, every French soldier returning from a tour of duty goes through a “decompression period” (canadians do the same thing – us soldiers too). They are taken to a five-star hotel for three days where they are supposed to forget about the war and relax among tourists enjoying their vacation. The program, devised by army psychologists, includes aqua- gym and relaxation classes, boat excursions and group mee- tings where everyone must tell the story of their individual experience during the six months spent in a war zone. This military therapy is more or less successful. TWO POWERFUL WOMEN Aurore and Marine are two young women with strong per- sonalities. They’ve known each other since childhood, come from modest backgrounds and grew up in lorient, an ave- rage town, where there aren’t a lot of alternatives for young people to build a future.

  • Mid-August Lunch
    The unknown girl Director: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne Country: Belgium Date: 2016 A review by David Rooney for The Hollywood Reporter: Early in The Unknown Girl, the tenth feature from masters of European realism Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, the young medic played with affecting sobriety and deeply internalized focus by Adele Haenel chides her rattled intern, telling him, "A good doctor has to control his emotions." While Haenel's character, Jenny Davin, never forgets that rule, this quiet drama is powered by the ways in which her professionalism expands to accommodate personal investment, accountability and atonement after an unwitting action — or rather, inaction — on her part leads to tragic consequences. The Dardennes' early work was populated by unknown casts, among them a few key faces that have gone on to become permanent fixtures, most notably Jeremie Renier and Olivier Gourmet, both making strong impressions here in secondary roles. But this is the Belgian brothers' third consecutive film to center on an established actress. Haenel, a Cesar winner for best actress in 2014 for Love at First Fight, follows Cecile de France in The Kid With a Bike and Marion Cotillard in Two Days, One Night. Like those performances, Haenel's work here is a seamless fit within a cinematic universe of micro- portraiture defined by its dramatic restraint and integrity, compassionate insight and psychological credibility. Dr. Davin in that sense joins a group of memorably ordinary Dardenne screen women that began with Emilie Dequenne in Rosetta, which won the brothers their first Palme d'Or, in 1999. (Their second was for The Child in 2005.) If The Unknown Girl doesn't rank among the top tier of the writer-directors' work, it evinces enough of their signature strengths to connect with their loyal international art house audience.

  • Westworld Opens on Foxtel
    Media Release: Friday, August 12, 2016 Westworld opens on Visit the ultimate resort from 12pm AEDST Monday, October 3 - same time as the US - only on showcase Westworld, HBO’s highly anticipated reality bending drama, starring Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Evan Wood and James Marsden will arrive on Foxtel on Monday October 3 at 12pm AEDST, same time as the US, with a prime time encore at 8.30pm, only on showcase. Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, Westworld, based on the 1973 film, is a dark odyssey that looks at the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin and explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged. The 10 episode season of Westworld is an ambitious and highly imaginative drama that elevates the concept of adventure and thrill-seeking to a new, ultimately dangerous level. In the futuristic fantasy park known as Westworld, a group of android “hosts” deviate from their programmers’ carefully planned scripts in a disturbing pattern of aberrant behaviour. Westworld’s cast is led by Anthony Hopkins (Noah, Oscar® winner for The Silence of the Lambs) as Dr. Robert Ford, the founder of Westworld, who has an uncompromising vision for the park and its evolution; Ed Harris (Snowpiercer, Golden Globe winner for HBO’s Game Change; Oscar® nominee for Pollock and Apollo 13) as The Man in Black, the distillation of pure villainy into one man; Evan Rachel Wood (HBO’s Mildred Pierce and True Blood) as Dolores Abernathy, a provincial rancher’s daughter who starts to discover her idyllic existence is an elaborately constructed lie; James Marsden (The D Train, the X-Men films) as Teddy Flood, a new arrival with a close and recurring bond with Dolores; Thandie Newton (Half of a Yellow Sun, Mission: Impossible II) as Maeve Millay, a madam with a knack for survival; and Jeffrey Wright (The Hunger Games films; HBO’s Confirmation and Boardwalk Empire) as Bernard Lowe, the brilliant and quixotic head of Westworld’s programming division.

  • BLOODS “EMATA”[Gr]
    ! BLOODS “EMATA”[gr] VASISTAS theatre group Text by Efthimis Filippou Directed by Argyro Chioti ©Vassilis Makris Vasistas theatre group is collaborating with Efthimis Filippou for the creation of the theatrical play BLOODS, first presented in autumn 2014 at The Onassis Cultural Center. After his award-winning collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos in the films Dogtooth, Alps and Lobster, which got foreign critics talking about a New Weird Greek Cinema, screenwriter Efthimis Filippou is bringing his unique fictional world for the first time on stage, with a new theatrical play written for Vasistas theatre group. ONASSIS CULTURAL CENTRE, www.sgt.gr, 107-109 Syngrou Avenue, 11745 Athens, Greece. Administration: +30 2130178000, info@sgt.gr, 2 Galaxia & Evrydamantos St, 11745 Athens, Greece.! ! Dimitris Kalafatis, aged 40 or so, accidentally rips open his throat in July 1989. He can only watch on as his wound fails to heal, festers and leaves its bloody traces on his shirt, his pillow, and the bodies of his wife and children. He writes to his dearest friend about it. BLOODS, takes the form of the correspondence between two friends. The play, laced with the bizarre and the humorous, with politician's paranoid speeches and the daydreams of ordinary folk, is transformed by Argyro Chiotis' direction into a punk oratorio awash with surrealism and quick- witted comedy. On stage, a poetic atmosphere and a vibrant theatricality delineate anew the concept of the theatrical chorus ancient and contemporary. The themes of community and the relationship between public and private space, collective and individual memory and responsibility run through the play, which could be described as a choreographed tableau vivant.

    25 YEARS OF MEDIA INVESTING IN CREATIVITY, BUILDING THE FUTURE 1 - 2 DECEMBER 2016, BOZAR, BRUSSELS #MEDIA25 “Oh how Shakespeare would have loved cinema!” Derek Jarman, filmmaker and writer “‘Culture’ as a whole, and in the widest sense, is the glue that forms identity and that determines the soul of Europe. And cinema has a privileged position in that realm… Movies helped to invent and to perpetuate the ‘American Dream’. They can do wonders for the image of Europe, too.” Wim Wenders, filmmaker “The best advice I can offer to those heading into the world of film is not to wait for the system to finance your projects and for others to decide your fate.” Werner Herzog, filmmaker “You don’t make a movie, the movie makes you.” Jean-Luc Godard, filmmaker “A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.” Alfred Hitchcock, filmmaker The 25th anniversary of MEDIA The European Commission, in collaboration with the Centre for Fine Arts (BOZAR), is organising a special European Film Forum (EFF) to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the MEDIA programme, which supports European audiovisual creations and their distribution across borders. Over these 25 years, MEDIA has been instrumental in supporting the audiovisual industry and promoting collaboration across borders, as well as promoting our shared identity and values within and outside Europe. This special edition of the European Film Forum is the highlight of the 25th anniversary celebrations. On the one hand, it represents the consummation of the testimonials collected from audiovisual professionals from across Europe over the year.
