For 62 years the Cork Film Festival has provided a lens on the world to the people of Cork, Ireland and the many international visitors who travel to our port city to lose themselves in flm for a week. The Cork Film Festival, which Cork City Council is honoured to part fund, never ceases to inspire us: to transport us from the mundane to the miraculous and to open our eyes to worlds that we never knew existed. It is one of the city’s most signifcant and popular arts events and remains the largest flm festival in Ireland. For many, it makes the onset of winter more bearable. So welcome to Cork, recently nominated as one of eight ideal cities in Europe for culture and creativity. And remember, the Cork Film Festival is a festival for the people Cllr. Tony Fitzgerald,Cllr. Tony Ardmhéara Chorcaí, Lord Mayor of Cork and not just flm bufs. In 1956, the founders of this festival were ambitious that the Cork Film Festival “must always be strongly infuenced by the company it keeps. The company is good.” In 2017 the company is still good. The frst flm festival in Cork was recognised by the International Federation of Film Producers Association, one of only 5 globally to be approved at their 1950 Congress in Cannes. In 2017, Cork Film Festival is one of only 40 festivals worldwide - and the only one in Ireland to have two awards with Oscars ® Accreditation. Our spark was ignited, travelling from Cannes to Cork; our infuence, nearly 65 years later, reaches from Cork to Hollywood. We look forward to welcoming you to the Festival this year. Helen Boyle Chair of the Board 2 Book now: corkflmfest.org | 021 427 1711 Information Introduction Introduction Festivals are extraordinary beasts - unique collaborations that fuse art, audience and place. They excite, enrage, engage and entertain. The 2017 Festival is bookended by two distinctive flms that couldn’t be more diferent. It’s a pleasure, and thoroughly appropriate, to open with the festive romp that is The Man Who Invented Christmas, while Alexander Payne’s sci-f road move Downsizing confrms his status as a flmmaker with rare depth and wit. In between these two titles, we present over 200 flms from 50 countries, including multiple award winners from the international festival circuit; veteran auteurs such as Michael Haneke, Takashi Miike and Mohammad Rasoulof; the likes of Clio Barnard, Sebastián Lelio and Ale Ross Perry, all gradually building impressive bodies of work; and, perhaps most signifcantly, there are plenty Fiona Clark Festival Producer and CEO of thrilling new voices with debut features, and Ana Urushadze, Daan Bakker and Deborah Haywood are among many names to look out for. A provocative documentary programme includes established non-fction flmmakers Alex Gibney, Frederick Wiseman, Brett Morgan and Eugene Jarecki, while we proudly celebrate Irish cinema with keenly anticipated flms from Pat Collins and Frank Berry standing alongside newer talents. Our archive ofering includes restorations of flms by Hitchcock, Powell and Pressburger and Clouzot, and there are 17 shorts programmes, illustrating our frm commitment to the form. We hope to encourage future audiences through our Family and School’s programmes, while we continue to provoke discussion and debate about mental health issues with our Illuminate strand. Many people and partners are instrumental in the delivery of the festival. Michael Hayden Guest Programme Director We are hugely grateful to our Principal Funder, the Arts Council, and Cork City Council, as well as all our funders, sponsors, local businesses, cultural organisations, and Festival staf and volunteers. We would like to thank them all, and especially our audiences - the flmmakers who make the work, the industry who enable us to share that work, and above all the paying public, from young people exploring the world through flm for the frst time, to the committed cinephile. All are essential in shaping a programme of fact and fction that is uniquely available in Cork, creating a truly distinctive and enjoyable festival experience. We warmly encourage you to explore this feast of flm and we look forward to welcoming you to the 62nd Cork Film Festival.
