International Emerging Talent Film Festival Festival International Des Espoirs Du Cinéma International Emerging Talent Film Festival Festival International des Espoirs du Cinéma OFFICIAL CATALOG - CATALOGUE OFFICIEL To Our Guests: In 2003, a small seed was planted: to create a new and innovative platform that was dedicated to promoting and supporting new and emerging fi lmmakers from around the world. It took the dedication and effort of many people to bring the Festival to life in this, the inaugural edition of the International Emerging Talent Film Festival. Over the years, ideas have grown, changed, and have been molded into IETFF 2007, a platform dedicated to new and emerging fi lmmakers on an international scale, now focused on nurturing and promoting new fi lmmakers from the developing nations of the world. Through our Film Pro meetings, we offer these new cinema talents the opportunity to interact with some of the leaders of the international motion picture industry. We owe a special debt of gratitude to our sponsors, advertisers, donors and to our home, the Principality of Monaco. And we couldn’t be more pleased by the programs we offer here in the beautiful Grimaldi Forum. During the course of the Festival, we are presenting 25 short and feature fi lms, including eleven Feature Films and eleven short fi lms in our Offi cial Competition. Amongst the feature fi lms, there are two World Premieres, two International Premieres, four European Premieres and two French Premieres. In addition, we have three Special Screenings, six amazing conversations and panels and an extraordinary assemblage of fi lmmakers, VIP guests, fi lm industry representatives and world press. The IETFF is an organization that will provide fi lm education as a means of expression in developing nations through its Global Film Expression. And in 2008, the IETFF’s parent, the International Emerging Film Talent Association, will launch the Global Film Forum, an initiative dedicated to educating governments and businesses in developing regions of the world on the policies and practices required to attract commercial fi lm productions to their homelands. This is both the beginning and the realization of a dream. Thank you for your presence and support. The journey begins here. Engage, enjoy and be challenged by IETFF 2007!

In the spirit of a Festival that celebrates the world-wide talents of rising fi lmmakers, the collaboration of NRDC with the IETFF in the greening of their event is a powerful means of merging each organization’s goals: Educating the world about critical ecological issues. In collaboration with NRDC, this international festival will work to minimize its environmental footprint by identifying environmentally friendly solutions, from waste management to recycling to the purchasing of carbon offsets. NRDC is pleased to support the IETFF’s efforts to spearhead a growing awareness of ecological issues for a sustainable future and a healthy, livable planet. NRDC and the IETFF will use the Festival’s forums and events to educate audiences, fi lmmakers, government leaders and studio executives on ecologically sound life practices and on environmentally responsible fi lm production techniques. MISSION STATEMENT of the NRDC The Natural Resources Defense Council’s purpose is to safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals and the natural systems on which all life depends. We work to restore the integrity of the elements that sustain life -- air, land and water -- and to defend endangered natural places. We seek to establish sustainability and good stewardship of the Earth as central ethical imperatives of human society. NRDC affi rms the integral place of human beings in the environment. We strive to protect nature in ways that advance the long-term welfare of present and future generations. We work to foster the fundamental right of all people to have a voice in decisions that affect their environment. We seek to break down the pattern of disproportionate environmental burdens borne by people of color and others who face social or economic inequities. Ultimately, NRDC strives to help create a new way of life for humankind, one that can be sustained indefi nitely without fouling or depleting the resources that support all life on Earth 6 | International Emerging Talent Film Festival | Monte-Carlo 2007 OUR PARTNERS & SPONSORS International Emerging Talent Film Festival | Monte-Carlo 2007 | 7 The IEFTA would like to thank our angel Mark Brockbank for his unfl ailing dedication, commitment and support of our dreams for the IETFF.

Have a truly unforgettable Valentine’s Day at BFI Southbank with an expertly selected programme of films celebrating romance and passion screening across the venue’s four plush film theatres on February 14. This diverse programme celebrates the best the Golden Age of Hollywood has to offer with Bringing up Baby (1938) and The Philadelphia Story (1940), the lesser-known French New Wave gem My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend (1987), and modern LGBT titles Cloudburst (2011) and Plan B (2009). With outstanding performances from Hollywood greats Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart, The Philadelphia Story is a classic comedy about a society wedding threatened by scandal, while Hepburn and Grant and reunited for Bringing up Baby, adding a touch of screwball comedy to the line-up. BFI Flare presents two LGBT features, Cloudburst (2011), the endearing story of two women in their 70’s and their journey to getting married and Plan B (2009), an enchanting story of unexpected love in the 21st century. Eric Rohmer delves into the complicated side of love in My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend (1987) and explores what happens when you fall for the wrong person. At BFI Southbank, it isn’t just the films that make for a memorable evening. Comedian Miranda Hart picked a film and a meal at the BFI as her ‘best place for a first date’ in ES Magazine’s My London column, while The Riverfront Bar & Kitchen was voted 2014’s Best Cinema Bar in London by Time Out; a delicious meal overlooking breath-taking views of the Thames is the ideal way to follow up your film.

COMMUNICATIONS 259 Lakeshore Blvd. East T: 416.910.7740 2nd Floor F: 416.944.8140 Toronto, Ontario, M5A 3T7 [email protected] T: 416.535.1870 x 236 F: 416.535.3414 [email protected] AWAY FROM HER SYNOPSIS AWAY FROM HER is the lyrical screenplay adaptation of celebrated author Alice Munro’s short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain”. AWAY FROM HER is a beautifully moving love story that deals with memory and the circuitous, unnamable paths of a long marriage. Married for 50 years, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona’s (Julie Christie) commitment to each other appears unwavering, and their everyday life is full of tenderness and humour. This serenity is broken only by the occasional, carefully restrained reference to the past, giving a sense that this marriage may not always have been such a fairy tale. This tendency of Fiona’s to make such references, along with her increasingly evident memory loss, creates a tension that is usually brushed off casually by both of them. As the lapses become more obvious and dramatic, it is no longer possible for either of them to ignore the fact that Fiona is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, Fiona decides that it is time for her to enter into Meadowlake, a retirement home that specializes in the disease.

Attempts to register well-known trade marks by parties who have no connection with such marks (“third-party trade marks”) are a global problem. In many jurisdictions, applications to register such marks have been rejected on the basis that they were filed in bad faith. For a recent discussion of the scale of the problem in China, including a comparative law analysis, see Jyh-An Lee, Hui Huang: Post-Application Evidence of Bad Faith in China’s Trademark Law, Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice, Volume 13, Issue 5, 1 May 2018 pages 400 - 407. 2.
