• Last chance to catch KINATAY in SIFF!

  Monday, Aug 31, 2009 11:30AM / Standard Entry

  Controversial Cannes discovery by prize-winning director Mendoza follows its naïve protagonist into a maelstrom of sexual violence, rape and dismemberment that become the crucible of his own destruction. Peping, a police academy recruit in search of quick money, joins corrupt policemen who turn out to be doing the work of a gang lord seeking repayment from a bar hostess. He follows them into an orgy of pain and destruction shot in HD in a real time flow that left audiences and critics shaken.

  Man on Wire
  Director: James Marsh　

  2009 Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary
  2009 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award

   

  On August 7 1974, French acrobat Philippe Petit pulled out the heist of the century; a high wire act between the Twin Towers of New York’s World Trade Center more than 1,000 feet above ground.

   

  The International
  Dir: Tom Tykwer 
  Cast: Clive Owen, Naomi Watts,
  　　　 Armin Mueller-Stahl

  2009 BerlinFilm Festival Opening Film

  Just in time for the global financial crisis, The International shows the darkest side of banking. When an Interpol agent (Owen) and New York attorney (Watts) team up to uncover the dark deeds of a powerful bank, their quest takes them from Berlin to Milan to Istanbul, risking their lives at every turn.

   

  The Girl on the Train (La fille du RER)
  Director: Andre Techine 
  Cast: Emilie Dequenne,
  　　　 Catherine Deneuve

  2009 Taormina Film Festival Best Actress

  A timely, complex portrait links imagined spaces of bias and fear to the provincial domesticity of middle-class suburbs through a young girl who fabricates accusations of assault and anti-Semitism amidst swirling issues of ethnic identity, alienation, love and conflicting demands.

   

  Jeonju Digital Project 2009: Visitors
  Dir: Lav Diaz, Hong Sang-soo,
  　　　 Kawase Naomi 

  2009 Jeonju International Film Festival

  In celebration of the tenth Jeonju Film Festival, 2009’s digital project features shorts by three of Asia’s most innovative filmmakers. Kawase Naomi’s Koma explores the ties that bind two families in a Japanese village; acclaimed director Hong Sang-soo typically ponders gender relations in Lost in The Mountains; and Lav Diaz abandons his penchant for ten-hour films with Butterflies Have No Memories, wherein the people left behind when a Canadian mining company abandons a polluted island meet a Canadian visitor.
