Inverness Film Festival 2013

6 –10 Nov 2013 at Eden Court Inverness tickets & info: 01463 234 234 www.invernessfilmfestival.com www.eden-court.co.uk INVERNESS FILM FESTIVAL

Welcome to the 11th Inverness Film Festival.

For last year’s 10th anniversary we journeyed back in time and looked at how cinema has changed over the past 120 years. This year’s festival has a completely different focus and rather than looking backwards, or forwards for that matter, we’ll be planting our feet firmly in the present day. IFF 2013 is all about great new films and I’m really delighted to have premieres from all around the world, including a special focus on new Middle Eastern cinema. For me, this region has been consistently producing the best in new cinema over the festival’s lifetime.

Because we are focusing this year on new cinema we’ve decided not to do our usual retrospective and instead we’ll be looking at re-appropriated cinema. This is work by film-makers/artists who have taken established films as their starting point and then re-worked the footage to create something new or to convey a message – a really exciting way to re-view films and question what cinema means to us all.

Each year we aim to balance work from great film-makers alongside up and coming film-makers and this year is no exception. We’ve got some stunning work from first and second time directors including Joseph Gordon-Levitt – Don Jon, J.C. Chandor – All Is Lost, John Krokidas – Kill Your Darlings, Buyar Alimani – Amnesty and Peter Landesman – Parkland. This wealth of new talent sits comfortably alongside work from some of the finest directors working in cinema today, including Alfonso Cuarón, François Ozon, Lukas Moodysson, Alexander Payne and Abdellatif Kechiche.

Don’t forget, you also have the chance to vote for your favourite film of the festival with our audience award. The last four awards have been won by films from Japan, Sweden, Australia and Hungary, so it's up to you where the fifth award will go.

I have a favourite film for the festival, but I won't be telling what it is – sadly I don’t get a vote.

I hope that you enjoy the festival, I really do believe it’s the best line-up yet (even better than 2007, my previous favourite).

Paul Taylor, Festival Director and Eden Court Cinema Programmer PS You will note that some of the screenings are certified ‘IFF’ rather than the conventional BBFC certificates.

This just means that at the time of publication, the BBFC hadn’t given the film a certificate – so we‘ve made our best guess. If you are unsure as to the age suitability of any screening, please ask the Box Office staff, or visit the Inverness Film Festival website for up to date information.

All screenings will be held at Eden Court.

BLACKBIRD

Ruadhan, a young ballad singer who treasures his hometown, feels saddened by the changes in his community. The jobs are disappearing and folk are leaving for the cities. The life he loves is slipping away and the old people of the town to whom he feels closest and whose traditions he wants to preserve, are dying off. Can Ruadhan find a way to save the old ways or are they to be of the past?

Blackbird is about the oral tradition of singing and storytelling, and how the culture and the traditions of the past can sit beside what’s happening today, that they can compliment, and not replace, each other. This is the first feature from Edinburgh’s Jamie Chambers who is a powerful new voice in Scottish cinema.

Gaelic writer, singer and comic, Norman Maclean, plays the town bard Alec.

REAPPROPRIATED CINEMA In recent years artists have taken existing film, re-editing it and subverting its meaning to create new work. Whether this has been done to explode certain myths about cinema, to fight against the system, or due to passion for a particular film, it has the audience questioning how we should view and think about film. Is this cultural theft or an exciting new direction for cinema?

We’ll let you decide...

EASY RIDER

James Benning (Ruhr IFF10) has been at the forefront of American experimental cinema for the last 35 years. His static films have explored the American landscape like no other.

For his re-make of Dennis Hopper’s classic Easy Rider (1969), Benning has replaced each scene with one shot filmed at the original location and replaced the music with the music that he listens to today. By doing this he hopes to discover if a similar counter culture exists today as did in the ‘60s. The result is an important work from one of the leading voices of today’s avant garde cinema.

REAPPROPRIATED CINEMA A MESSENGER FROM THE SHADOWS (NOTES ON FILM 06 A/MONOLOGUE 01)

UK PREMIERE

A one-person film of the “man with a thousand faces.” Silent horror film icon Lon Chaney was the son of deaf-mute parents and had perfected the art of pantomime as a child.

He rose to fame as a master of disguise with a penchant for grotesque appearances and torturous contortions. Norbert Pfaffenbichler has remounted the forty-six preserved films of the two hundred that Chaney made into a tribute to Chaney’s art, to the uncanny power of the horror film, and to the paradoxical enchantment of cinema.

FILM QUARTET / POLYFRAME Conceived as a small cinematographic bomb attempting to question the established definition of frame as the minimum unit of time by dynamiting it in four fragments. The appropriationism applied in this work makes use of material found in Hollywood cinema, the first avant-garde period and experimental film. Such method makes possible, therefore, to maintain image ecology while it provides an analysis of the history of cinema.

“The starting point for Audition was the movement of the stripper across the stage in the red light. I rotoscoped the scene and each frame is hand drawn pixels. Once I realized that the sound attached to the actual scene was the impetus for the remembered image, the rest of the video revealed itself.

Hand-drawn animation and digital video.” Karen Yasinsky Spain I 2006 – 2008 I 9 mins I Director: Karen Yasinsky

LIFE IS AN OPINION, FIRE A FACT

Life is an Opinion, Fire a Fact is structured with narrative fragments, sequenced without transitions that would place them together in time or story. The point was to go from acts of despair towards some suggestion of serenity.

FUNNY GAMES GHOST

Haneke revisited. Scenes laid in synch over one another from the film Funny Games and its U.S. remake disclose the thriller as a formal prison: constricted in the director’s scrupulously regimented structure, the mirrored protagonists once again have no chance of escape. We watch them make their way to what is now a doubled horror. Thrill turns to analysis, and reflection on the craft of filmmaking, itself.

THE PATIENCE STONE After ten years of living under her husband's control, a young Muslim woman finally finds a voice of her own when he is injured and enters a comatosed state.

Over time, she assembles the courage to tell her husband all of the things she had remained silent about during their decade of marriage. She eventually speaks truthfully of the disappointments, sorrows, and sacrifices that have made her life so difficult throughout the years. Only weeks later, when the lonely wife enters into a relationship with a young soldier, does she begin to reveal the woman who she had kept locked up deep inside ever since the day she was married.

AMNESTY AMNISTIA

SCOTTISH PREMIERE

A new national law allowing conjugal visits for inmates brings together a man and woman visiting the same prison to meet their incarcerated spouses. Elsa’s dutiful contact with her husband is part of a routine consumed with job searching, raising her two sons, and getting along with her father-in-law. But when she meets Spetim, a quiet man visiting his imprisoned wife in equally passionless encounters, they slowly find the sympathy and companionship missing from their lives. A prisoner amnesty, however, soon threatens their fragile bond.

Amnesty is the first film from Bujar Alimani and was only the second for lead actress Luli Bitri – both are refreshing new voices in European cinema who are worth looking out for.

BIG SUR

UK PREMIERE

Big Sur focuses on the point in Jack Kerouac’s life when, overwhelmed with success and struggling with alcoholism, he retreats to his publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s cabin in the small, coastal California town of Big Sur, which eventually inspires his 1962 novel of the same name. Although his time begins with quiet moments of reflection and solitude, he is soon struck by loneliness and hightails it to San Francisco. Drinking heavily, he embarks on a relationship with his best friend Neal Cassady’s mistress, Billie and everything begins to unravel.

Michael Polish’s film is both a poetic meditation and a love-letter to the work of an author who defined the Beat Generation

CELLULOID MAN Celluloid Man is a portrait of a man so in love with cinema that even his family had to take a backseat to his obsession. Mr. P.K. Nair, the founder of the National Film Archive of India is a living breathing museum of cinema.

The fact that India has a cinematic heritage at all is the singlehanded achievement of this man.

Forget Batman or Superman, Mr Nair is a true hero of cinema. He has spent years archiving Indian cinema, finding and preserving films that many thought were long lost. If more countries had people like him the world of cinema would be a better place, and less cinematic secrets would have been lost forever.
