  • A Film by David Gordon Green

Directed by David Gordon Green (PRINCE AVALANCHE, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, UNDERTOW, ALL THE REAL GIRLS), the film brings Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage back to his indie roots in the title role as the hard-living, hot-tempered, ex-con Joe Ransom, who is just trying to dodge his instincts for trouble – until he meets a hard-luck kid, (Tye Sheridan) (MUD, TREE OF LIFE) who awakens in him a fierce and tender-hearted protector. The story begins as Joe hires teenaged Gary Jones and his destitute father onto his “tree- poisoning” crew for a lumber company. Joe might be notoriously reckless with his pick-up, his dog and especially with women, but he sees something in Gary that gets to him: a determination, a raw decency and a sense of resilience he can barely believe in anymore. Gary has truly had nothing in life – he’s never spent a day at school – yet something drives him to take care of his family, to keep his sister safe when his father turns monstrous, to hang onto hope of a better future.

The jury said it was chosen, "For its true-to-life depiction of a young woman's quest to find meaning and hope in a world that has constantly disappointed her." This award carries a cash prize of $30,000 and a custom award, sponsored by Canada Goose®. THE PRIZES OF THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF FILM CRITICS (FIPRESCI PRIZES) For the 27th year, the Festival welcomed an international FIPRESCI jury. This year's jury is comprised of Jury President Lesley Chow (Australia), Andrés Nazarala (Chile), Astrid Jansen (Belgium), Pierre Pageau (Canada), James Slotek (Canada), and Viswanath Subrahmanyan (India). The Prize of the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) for the Discovery programme is awarded to Carmel Winters for Float Like a Butterfly, which the jury called "a pastoral and traditional bucolic film, capturing the familiar angst and anxiety a young adult woman undergoes in order to have her say in the scheme of things in a predominately male-driven patriarchal society." "Through her spectacular and deft narrative, nuanced understanding of the dilemmas women face, and a pitch- perfect performance by Hazel Doupe, this film is a triumph of free spirit." Honourable mention goes to Laura Luchetti's Twin Flower.

  • Top Pick Wednesday 21 March 9.00Pm
    1 Top Pick Wednesday 21 March 9.00pm Sando Victoria ‘Sando’ Sandringham (Sasha Horler) is the charismatic loose cannon CEO, and public face of, beloved department store chain ‘Sando’s Warehouse’. Australia knows Sando as the larrikin ‘Package Deal Queen’, a born performer who for decades starred alongside her young family in their own furniture commercials. But things began to unravel for Sando the day of her daughter Susie’s wedding, when it is revealed that following a drunken night at a family weekend away, she became pregnant to Susie’s fiancé, Kevin (Firass Dirani), and was excommunicated from the family. Ten years later we catch up with Sando, freshly removed from her own company by her nemesis company CFO Tony (Rob Carlton), following one too many all-night benders. Her assets frozen and with nowhere else to go, Sando realises she must reconnect with her family if she’s to have any chance of rekindling the halcyon days. While granddaughter Rian (Sierra Lewis) is easily won over – as is son Eric (Dylan Hesp) for whom the parental flame was never extinguished - daughter Susie (Krew Boylan) has a much larger axe to grind. Even though she’s now happily married to dependable Gary (Uli Latukefu), Susie has never forgiven Sando and doesn’t intend to now that she’s back. Fearing another banishment, Sando fakes a stroke in order to buy a few crucial days to convalesce in the family’s pool house. Then, by blackmailing her ex-husband Don (Phil Lloyd) and Susie’s best friend and live-in life coach Nicky (Adele Vuko), Sando manages to further extend her stay.

For 30 years he has ruled the world of retail fashion – bringing the high street to the catwalk and the catwalk to the high street – but after a damaging public inquiry, his image is tarnished. To save his reputation, he decides to bounce back with a highly publicized and extravagant party celebrating his 60th birthday on the Greek island of Mykonos. A satire on the grotesque inequality of wealth in the fashion industry, the film sees McCreadie’s rise and fall through the eyes of his biographer, Nick (David Mitchell).

  • Masculinity in Comic Midlife Crisis in Michael Winterbottom's Trip Series
    139 LUCIA KRÄMER The Imitation Competition: Masculinity in Comic Midlife Crisis in Michael Winterbottom's Trip Series "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey." (S1E5)1 1. Introduction Although the comedy programme examined in this article is simply, and somewhat self-deprecatingly, called The Trip (2010-), rather than 'The Journey' or some other title with more gravitas, the implications of the overarching metaphor are independent of genre. The geographical journey evokes the theme of the journey of life: its phases; the events, obstacles and detours on the way; the persons encountered during the journey, as well as its inevitable destination, i.e. death. This article examines how Michael Winterbottom's Trip series uses this metaphor to present its two middle-aged male protagonists – played by the British comedy stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as fictionalised versions of themselves2 – in a way that combines the ridiculous with the absurd by evoking what Martin Esslin, in his seminal book on The Theatre of the Absurd, called a "sense of metaphysical anguish at the absurdity of the human condition," fuelled by the "senselessness of life" (1980, 23-24) and the elusiveness of a sense of self. In fact, the statement from the character of Steve Coogan in The Trip that precedes this article self-referentially encapsulates the life situation of its two main characters as well as the non-teleological structure of the programme.3 After a general introduction to the Trip series, the initial focus of the following analysis will be on the show's extensive use of intertextuality and the protagonists' obsession with performance.

  • With Eye on Trump, Paris Talks to Push for ME Peace
    SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 2017 RABI ALTHANI 16, 1438 AH No: 17110 Kuwait offers Cabinet picks Top two collide treatment to contradict in latest Syria refugees Trump stands challenge for in Turkey 3 on14 issues flying47 Real With eye on Trump, Paris talks to push for ME peace Max 19º 150 Fils Sheikh Khaled Al-Sabah to lead Kuwaiti delegation Min 07º PARIS: Around 70 countries and international organizations make a new push for a two-state solution in the Middle East at a conference tomorrow, just days before Donald Trump takes office vowing unstinting support for Israel. The Paris meeting aims to revive the moribund Israeli-Palestinian peace process, amid fears of fresh violence if Trump implements a pledge to recognize the contested city of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. But neither Israel nor the Palestinians will be represented in Paris, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed it as a “rigged” conference, insisting that only bilateral talks can bring peace. Meanwhile, First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah will leave for Paris today to lead Kuwait’s delegation to the conference. Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled will deliver a speech during the gathering, elab- orating on Palestinian and Arab concerns over the regional peace process and reiterating Kuwait’s stance on Palestinian state. Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled’s accompanying delegation includes Assistant Foreign Minister for the First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister’s Office Affairs Sheikh Dr Ambassador Ahmad Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah, Kuwaiti Ambassador to Paris Sami Al-Suleiman, Assistant Foreign Minister for Arab Affairs Ambassador Aziz Al-Daihani and several other senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
