Testament Of Youth Electricity Finding Vivian Maier The Priest’s Children A City Dreaming Inez: A Challenging Woman

www.foylefilmfestival.org FOR BOOKINGS VISIT WWW.FOYLEFILMFESTIVAL.ORG // 1

Welcome The theme of this year’s Foyle Film Festival is ‘Secret Lives’.

The programme explores this theme through a series of screenings and discussions – delving into the real lives of individuals whose everyday behaviour provided no clues to a completely secret existence.

Finding Vivian Maier is the fascinating story of a woman who worked as a nanny for over 40 years, while secretly making films, and taking thousands of photographs documenting her life and those around her. Her secret life was discovered at an auction after her death. Her work has been universally celebrated and has led to a renaissance in the popularity of street photography.

The festival launches on November 19 with the Irish premiere of Testament Of Youth – the incredible true story of one young woman’s struggle to survive the horrors of war.

Director James Kent (Margaret, The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister) will provide a special introduction to the screening.

Night Will Fall blatantly exposes the denial by ordinary Germans that they had any knowledge of the concentration camps. The purpose of the original film was to ensure that the Holocaust could not be denied. Much of the archive film in Night Will Fall is being shown for the first time. Sally Angel, producer of Night Will Fall, will introduce this screening and take part in a post-screening discussion.

This year Foyle Film Festival celebrates the 15th anniversary of becoming an Oscar® affiliated festival through the Light In Motion (LIM) Competition. To mark this important milestone, the festival is hosting a special industry conference ‘From Shorts To Features’ (Friday 21 and Saturday 22), which is designed to give filmmakers the knowledge and skills required to make the transition from short film production to making their first feature film.

As part of ‘From Shorts To Features’, director Andrea Arnold will discuss how she made the journey from an Oscar-winning short filmmaker (Wasp) to making critically acclaimed features (Red Road and Wuthering Heights).

Opening Night Gala

SUNDAY 23 NOVEMBER @ 8.30PM VENUE: BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

Closing Night Gala

UK. 2014. Director: Bryn Higgins. Cast: Agyness Deyn, Lenora Crichlow, Christian Cooke, Paul Anderson, Alice Lowe.

Duration: 1hr.30mins. Cert: 15. Distributor: Soda Pictures

TESTAMENT OF YOUTH NORTHERN IRELAND PREMIERE

Director Bryn Higgins will introduce this screening.

WEDNESDAY 19 NOVEMBER @ 8PM VENUE: BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL UK. 2014. Director: James Kent. Cast: Kit Harington, Colin Morgan, Hayley Atwell, Dominic West, Emily Watson, Miranda Richardson. Duration: 2hrs.10mins. Cert: 12A. Distributor: Lionsgate Director James Kent and some of the cast members will introduce this screening.

Vera Brittain, irrepressible, intelligent and free-minded, overcomes the prejudices of her family and hometown to win a scholarship to Oxford. With everything to live for, she falls in love with her brother’s close friend Roland Leighton as they go to university to pursue their literary dreams. But the First World War is looming and as the boys leave for the front Vera realises she cannot sit idly by as her peers fight for their country, so volunteers as a nurse.

6 // FOYLEFILMFESTIVAL // 2014

She works tirelessly, experiencing all the grief of war, as one by one her closest friends are all killed and the pillars of her world shattered. But, an indefatigable spirit, Vera endures, rediscovers love and returns to Oxford, irrevocably changed, yet determined to create a world in which such a war can never take place again.

Director/Producer James Kent is known for The Thirteenth Tale (2013), The Secret Diaries Of Miss Anne Lister (2010) and Margaret (2009).

After party reception will follow the screening in Martha’s Vineyard, Brunswick Moviebowl.

Lewis Carroll’s story of Alice in Wonderland is an example of literature that has been dissected, explored and debated for decades. Some hardcore theorists compare the story to the experience of a metaphorical journey that one might experience on acid. Well, as for Lily O’Connor (Agyness Deyn), she compares one of her epileptic seizures to the fictional lost girl: “Here’s the breath, here’s the breeze, here’s the shiver – I’m Alice falling down the rabbit hole.”

Bryn Higgins’s Electricity is the powerful story of Lily’s journey to London to track down her wayward brother to give him his share of their mother’s inheritance.

A task that doesn’t sound too challenging but with her brother Mikey (Christian Cooke) living a seemingly off-the-grid existence in the capital and Lily’s

epilepsy always on standby, it becomes a needle-in-a-haystack mission for her to manage.

Deyn puts in a truly astonishing performance as Lily, who refuses to be defined by her illness. She’s a tough but compassionate character which Deyn brings alive with ease. Her blossoming connection with Good Samaritan Mel (Lenora Crichlow) at first feels like an unlikely match, but eventually turns into an authentic friendship. Anyone who’s ever lived in a city can relate to the feeling of being alone in the crowd, and Higgins references this without appearing hammy. The film combines strong, witty human drama with remarkable visual effects to create an immersive and compelling cinematic experience.

“With an engaging story spearheaded by its magnetising leading lady, Electricity is a beautifully sculpted film with an honest message… An unusual, beautiful, stunning, exciting thrill ride… The direction by Bryn Higgins is awe inspiring.

His blending of the dramatic, heart rending elements of Lily’s search for her brother, with the fantastical, sometimes horrifying and spiritual elements of her inner journey and the struggle to deal with epilepsy is beautiful, and show him to be a master of his craft.”

BFI London Film Festival 2014 Review The Foyle Film Festival Light In Motion (LIM) Awards, sponsored by City of Derry Crystal, will be announced and presented before the closing night screening of Electricity.

The script has been adapted by BAFTA winner Joe Fisher from the novel by Ray Robinson.

FINDING VIVIAN MAIER THURSDAY 20 NOVEMBER @ 6PM VENUE: BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL USA. 2013. Director(s): John Maloof and Charlie Siskel.

Cast: Vivian Maier, John Maloof, Phil Donahue, Tim Roth, Mary Ellen Mark. Duration: 1hr.24mins.

Cert: 12A. Language: English & French.

Distributor: Soda Pictures Finding Vivian Maier is the critically acclaimed documentary about a mysterious nanny, who secretly took over 100,000 photographs that were hidden in storage lockers, discovered decades later, and is now among the 20th century’s greatest photographers. Directed by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel, Maier’s strange and riveting life and art are revealed through never before seen photographs, films and interviews with dozens who thought they knew her.

Maier’s massive body of work came to light in 2007 when it was discovered at a local thrift auction house on Chicago’s Northwest Side. From there, it would eventually impact the world over and change the life of the man who championed her work and brought it to the public eye, John Maloof.

Currently, Vivian Maier’s body of work is being archived and cataloged for the enjoyment of others and for future generations. John Maloof is at the core of this project after reconstructing most of the archive, having been previously dispersed to the various buyers attending that auction.

Now, with roughly 90% of her archive reconstructed, Vivian’s work is part of a renaissance in interest in the art of street photography.

“Amazing… This should be seen with other people, in the dark, on a big screen!”

Michael Moore

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS NORTHERN IRELAND PREMIERE THURSDAY 20 NOVEMBER @ 8PM VENUE: BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL New Zealand. 2014. Director(s): Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. Cast: Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi, Jonathan Brugh, Cori Gonzalex-Macuer, Stuart Rutherford, Ben Fransham. Duration: 1hr.26mins. Cert: 15. Distributor: Metrodome A film with real bite!

The first directorial full feature collaboration between Oscar®-nominated director/writer/actor Taika Waititi (Two Cars, One Night) and actor/writer/ composer Jermaine Clement (Flight Of The Conchords).

What We Do in the Shadows is a fun mockumentary about four vampires living in a flat in Wellington, that piles on the laughs while keeping within the macabre tones of classic vampire stories.

It’s goofy without feeling dumb, which is what tends to happen in films like this.

It’s also at times very morbid and violent, but in a lighthearted, fun sort of way.

There’s just something hilarious about Taika Waititi preparing to drain someone of their life-giving fluids by placing newspaper all around only to hit an artery and spray blood all over the room.

Nominated for Crystal Bear Award at Berlin Film Festival, and winner of the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival 2014.

“It’s hard to describe how genuinely enjoyable this movie is. It’s the kind of film that will put a smile on your face, no matter what mood you’re in.

“A comedy that should put New Zealand on the map, with a share house everyone will want to spend some time in.”

Brent Davidson, SWITCH.

“Filled with hilarious depictions of zombies, werewolves, and of course, vampires, this is one of the best horror comedies around.”

William Brownridge, TIFF 2014 Review

extreme Christianity as things get more than a little complex.

In this piece of social comedy, the Croatian director Vinko Brešan playfully pulls his audience in by touching sensitive topics such as abortion and infertility. Adapted from a controversial stage play by screenwriter Mate Matisic, the film features one of Croatia’s most versatile actors, Krešimir Mikić.

Nominated for Best Comedy in the European Film Awards.

CAMILLE CLAUDEL 1915 FRIDAY 21 NOVEMBER @ 10PM VENUE: BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

ONE ROGUE REPORTER IRISH PREMIERE

France. 2013. Director: Bruno Dumont.

Cast: Juliette Binoche, Jean-Luc Vincent, Sandra Rivera.

Duration: 1hr.35mins. Cert: PG. Distributor: Soda Pictures

FRIDAY 21 NOVEMBER @ 8.15PM VENUE: BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL UK. 2014. Director(s): Rich Peppiatt and Tom Jenkinson. Cast: Hugh Grant, Steve Coogan, John Bishop, Rich Peppiatt, Max Mosley, John Prescott. Duration: 1hr.30mins. Cert: 18 Everyone has fantasised about emailing their boss and unleashing what they really think of them. Few actually ever reach for the keyboard. Fewer still end up pressing ‘send’.

No one has made a film about it – until now.

One Rogue Reporter is the story of Rich Peppiatt, a tabloid hack who snaps over his red top paper’s fixation with sensationalism over substance and titillation over truth.

When the phone hacking scandal engulfs Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World, throwing tabloid ethics under the spotlight, Rich decides to use the skills he’s honed on Fleet Street to turn-the-tables on the press 12 // FOYLEFILMFESTIVAL // 2014

barons peddling sex, lies and scaremongering under the cloak of journalism.

“Hilarious, brave and strangely arousing.”

Hugh Grant

The result is a hilariously satirical documentary: part investigative exposé; part comedy caper; part-impassioned outcry against unaccountable press power.

“Hilarious… highly recommend.”

John Cleese

What began as a critically acclaimed comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe has been inventively transferred to the screen with the help of incisive interviewees ranging from Steve Coogan, Hugh Grant and John Bishop through to philosopher AC Grayling and former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott.

“A petulant scoundrel.”

Daily Telegraph “A Judas.”

Daily Star

Director Bruno Dumont’s Camille Claudel 1915 sees Juliette Binoche take the lead as the famous French artist and lover of Auguste Rodin. Camille is placed by her brother, the Catholic poet Paul Claudel, in a remote mental institution where she remains for 30 years up until her death.

Dumont constructs a stripped-down formal universe that bends not inwards to his tragic heroine, but pushes her outwards and towards acceptance of her desperate situation.

“A deeply affecting film about the ordeal of the sculptor, and Rodin’s lover, Camille Claudel, who spent 30 years in an asylum.”

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian “Juliette Binoche gives yet another astonishing performance in a career of great performances.”

Sheila O’Malley, Roger Ebert Reviews

Calcutta!, The Rocky Horror Show, and to the screen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as well as introducing Merce Cunningham, Pina Bausch and Yoko Ono to London audiences, he irrevocably shaped the cultural scene of 1970’s London.

14 // FOYLEFILMFESTIVAL // 2014

White is now in his late seventies, but still enjoys partying like there’s no tomorrow.

In this intimate documentary, filmmaker Gracie Otto introduces us to this largerthan-life character. Featuring interviews with many of his closest friends including Yoko Ono, Anna Wintour, Kate Moss, John Waters, Barry Humphries and of course, the man himself.

“Reminiscent of The Kid Stays In The Picture… a warm-hearted, effortlessly enjoyable journey through an extraordinary show business life.”

Stephen Dalton, The Hollywood Reporter

Acclaimed director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) and executive producers Martin Scorsese and Steven Zaillian (Moneyball) present Life Itself, a documentary film that recounts the inspiring and entertaining life of world-renowned film critic and social commentator Roger Ebert.

A story that is in turn personal, funny, painful and transcendent. Based on his bestselling memoir of the same name, Life Itself explores the legacy of Roger Ebert’s life, from his Pulitzer Prizewinning film criticism at the Chicago Sun-Times to becoming one of the most influential cultural voices in America.

“A work of deftness and delicacy, by turns a film about illness and death, about writing, about cinema and, finally, and very movingly a film about love.”

New York Times

KON-TIKI

SATURDAY 22 NOVEMBER @ 4.30PM VENUE: BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL

UK/Norway/Denmark/Germany/Sweden. 2013. Director(s): Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg. Cast: Pål Sverre Hagen, Anders Baasmo Christiansen.

Duration: 1hr.58mins. Cert: PG-13. Distributor: Soda Pictures The colour blue dominates the filmmakers' palette in this visually stunning film about the real-life adventurer Thor Heyerdahl. Heyerdahl developed a theory that Polynesia was populated by settlers from South America, rather than Asia as widely assumed by the scientific community.

In 1947, unable to find a publisher to print his thesis, he hatches a daring plan to cross the Pacific on a balsa wood raft, just like the ancient Incas before him. Unshakeable in his determination, Heyerdahl simply refuses to give up despite the fact that the scientific community openly mocks him.

He can’t find funding for the voyage, his first recruit for the raft’s crew is a stocky refrigerator salesman, and he himself can’t swim.

Nominated for an Oscar® and a Golden Globe.

“The film’s technical aspects are uniformly excellent… This is filmmaking of great ambition and ability.”

Andrew Barker, Variety “A film that must be seen on the big screen…”

Curt Johnson, Best Movies Ever News

Like Lindbergh’s transatlantic solo flight or John Glenn’s maiden orbit in space, Heyerdahl’s maritime journey captured the public’s insatiable need for heroes who succeed against the odds.

ME, MYSELF AND MUM

(LES GARÇONS ET GUILLLAUME À TABLE) NORTHERN IRELAND PREMIERE

SATURDAY 22 NOVEMBER @ 10PM VENUE: BRUNSWICK MOVIEBOWL France/Belgium. 2013. Director: Guillaume Gallienne. Cast: Guillaume Gallienne, Françoise Fabian, Yves Jacques, André Marcon, Nanou Garcia, Yvon Back.

Duration: 1hr.25min. Cert: 15. Distributor: Cinefile As a piece of cinema Me, Myself And Mum shouldn’t work. It is a confessional piece about sexual identity written and directed by French stage actor, and based on his own solo stage performance. Fortunately for all concerned it works brilliantly, relying heavily on Gallienne’s own charisma, versatility and comic ingenuity.

It deals with his relationship with an overbearing mother, who brings him up as an effeminate boy while his two siblings bond with his macho father (André Marcon) and go off on rugby weekends. Guillaume indulges in more gentle pursuits, such as a holiday in Spain where he is taught to dance – except he learns all the female moves to much hilarity from the assembled company.

Gallienne, in case you don’t notice, also plays his mother, leading to some nimble screen work in which they 16 // FOYLEFILMFESTIVAL // 2014

meet and converse on screen but the artifice seems effortless. Through all the indignities Gallienne emerges mostly sunny side up, completely in charge of his persona and the material.

“The tone manages to be both poignant and hilarious with a Pedro Almodovaresque affection for the female of the species. It’s a crowd-pleaser and only the most stern of hearts and minds could fail to be seduced by its charm and the incredible persona of Gallienne.”

Richard Mowe, EyeForFilm “Not just an amusing film chronicling a journey of self-discovery. It is also an homage to women – his mother, his aunts, his female friends – with all their faults and Guillaume’s eventual discovery of his true sexuality is both hugely funny and deeply moving.”

Judith Prescott, French Cinema Review

USA. 1982. Director: Steven Spielberg.

Cast: Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, Robert MacNaughton.

Duration: 1hr.55mins. Cert: PG. Distributor: Universal Pictures International Ireland When an alien is inadvertently left behind on earth, he finds refuge with a lonely youngster named Elliot. As Elliot and E.T. bond, it soon becomes clear that E.T. must find his way home before government officials capture him and experiment upon him. Together, E.T., Elliot and Elliot’s family and friends help reunite E.T. with his spaceship.

Winner of four Oscars® “This is a brilliant film about the alienated and powerless experience of being a child, especially a child forced to absorb the scalding ironies of divorce; it works as a brilliant metaphor for this pain as well being a superb sci-fi adventure.”

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian Special programme strand as part of the UK-wide season of films and events celebrating all things Sci Fi.

Writers: Gerry Anderson and Mark McCauley. Producer: Chris Martin.

Editors: Justine Scoltock and Michael Barwise. Executive Producer: Andrew Eaton. Duration: 1hr.5mins. Cert: 12A Producer Chris Martin will introduce this special screening.

Written and narrated by Gerry Anderson, this documentary feature film is a beautiful portrait of Derry~Londonderry.

A series of personal and intimate recollections of a city and its people. A story that weaves its way through half a century of history during a time that saw the city rise from poverty and neglect, to hitting the headlines across the world.

Hong Kong/China. 2013. Director: Wong Kar Wai. Cast: Tony Leung, Ziyi Zhang, Cung Le, Quingxiang Wang, Elvis Tsui.

Duration: 2hrs.10mins. Cert: PG-13. Language: Mandarin/Cantonese/Japanese with English subtitles. Distributor: Metrodome The Grandmaster is the highlyanticipated new film by acclaimed director Wong Kar Wai – nominated for two Oscars® and the highest grossing foreign language release in North America in 2013. Six years in the planning and three years in the making, this is an epic action feature inspired by the life and times of the legendary kung fu master, Ip Man. The story spans the tumultuous Republican era that followed the fall of China’s last dynasty, a time of chaos, division and war that was also the golden age of Chinese martial 18 // FOYLEFILMFESTIVAL FOYLEFILMFESTIVAL 2014 // 2014

arts. Filmed in a range of stunning locations that include the snow-swept landscapes of Northeast China and the subtropical South, and featuring virtuoso performances by some of the greatest stars of contemporary cinema.

It begins as the story of Ip Man (Tony Leung), the legendary teacher of Bruce Lee and a master of the Wing Chun school of kung fu. It becomes the portrait of a bygone era and a lost world.

Nominated for two Oscars® “You leave this… deeply beautiful film with no doubt that you’ve seen an indisputable cinematic grandmaster in action.”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The narrative moves from Gerry’s childhood growing up in the city during the forties and fifties, and through to the dark days of the troubles in the late sixties.

Following the recent sad death of Gerry Anderson the film has taken on an added poignancy and nostalgia as it portrays a past that has all but disappeared.

“An intelligent, witty and well observed account of Derry’s past.

Gerry Anderson’s narration and writing makes this a must-see documentary.”

Chris Martin, Producer, A City Dreaming

“Gerry Anderson was a legend. This film is not only a love letter to his home town but a celebration of his life and voice.

I am very proud to be associated with it.”

Andrew Eaton, Executive Producer, A City Dreaming & Rush “A very moving experience, reaching back into the streets of Gerry’s childhood.

A beautiful film that now means even more to the city since Gerry’s passing.”

Michael Bradley, BBC “Gerry was so proud of this work. It was a great pleasure spending time with him creating this film. Even whilst he was not in good health he showed incredible strength, passion and commitment. I hope people get a chance to see this film.”

Mark McCauley, Director, A City Dreaming Funded by Northern Ireland Screen and the British Film Institute.

The hell of the Holocaust rises again in this remarkable account of how Britain’s army film unit commissioned producer Sidney Bernstein to make a documentary record of the Nazi death camps, using footage pouring in from the liberation of Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Auschwitz and elsewhere.

Director André Singer’s Night Will Fall charts the historical development of Bernstein’s work, combining extracts from the original film. The commentary comes partly from earlier archive interviews, particularly Bernstein speaking in 1982 (Hitchcock appears largely in voice-over), and others who were involved in the original production, and partly in interviews with contemporary historians, including

from London’s Imperial War Museum where the archive material is held and whose efforts made the final restoration possible. The final lines of Richard Crossman’s original script reveal the resonance of Singer’s title: “Unless the world learns the lessons these pictures teach, night will fall.”

“Night Will Fall isn’t simply a film about the war, it documents the power of emerging technologies to reveal and publicise war crimes – something that also feels acutely relevant today.”

Anna Smith, The Daily Telegraph “André Singer has produced a worthy companion piece to Sidney Bernstein’s 1945 footage of the German concentration camps.”

Mark Kermode, The Observer

SEXWORK, LOVE AND MR RIGHT

LOVE THY NATURE

A CITY DREAMING

Amsterdam has been named the second hottest destination in the world to visit in 2013 by Lonely Planet – and interest levels in the city with its famous red-light district have never been higher. This fascinating, access-driven character documentary explores sex, love and relationships through the compelling story of sassy sexworker Lina. She ditched her pimp and now she’s looking for Mr Right in Amsterdam’s red-light windows.

Has she found him in American customer Sean, or is it all just a fantasy?

Liam Neeson is the voice of “Sapiens” – our collective humankind. He feels lost as he faces his possible death due to Earth’s severe environmental crisis: a crisis that has been fuelled by humanity’s disconnection from nature.

The film explores a new cutting edge science Biomimicry – which taps into nature’s four billion years of R&D for some of the most brilliant inventions, pointing to a new technological age: the Biological Revolution.

This is an intimate portrait of Derry.

A walk through time using 8mm home footage and newsreel to capture the nature of a people who fought their way through poverty and neglect, always with a smile on their face. As the world outside the city changed it seemed that this would be a place forever forgotten by time and change. The quest for Civil Rights would change the city forever and the consequences of those actions threatened to plunge the city into darkness of thirty years.

BEAR STORY

MEND AND MAKE DO

CROW

DEADLY

THE DAM KEEPER

An old bear goes out every day to a busy street corner. He sets up a small wooden theatre containing tin puppets of his own making. For a coin, the bear will set the mechanisms in motion, the marionettes will start to move and a story will unfold inside the box. Through the peephole passers by will see the life of a circus bear that longs to escape and return to his family.

Cup of tea? Come and take a seat in Lyn’s cosy front room, hear her story of love during wartime and watch as her belongings come alive with the hope, fear and humour of one spirited lady.

Equal parts documentary, animation and magic, Mend and Make Do features the original voice of Lyn Schofield of Southport, Merseyside, a woman with a lifetime of tales to tell.

With unique access to the recordings of Ted Hughes reading what he considered his career masterpiece, this film tells the visceral story of CROW, the lead character from this seminal cycle of poems – a dark reworking of the Genesis story.

Deadly tells the story of Boney, a working stiff in a dead-end job. That is until he has a run-in with a spirited old lady named Bridie...

In a desolate future, one small town has survived because of a large windmill dam that acts as a fan to keep out poisonous clouds.

A black-humoured comedy about staying away from the rat race, and about a wry realisation that only idiots are capable of true happiness. Paweł Burak, a much frustrated theology student, declares war on oppressive reality.

THE BOYS 2013. Director: Paweł Orwat.

Duration: 21mins A story of evil evolving in a human being, of human nature and of social isolation.

Two teenage boys, Michał and Kid, plan to commit a random murder.

THE RETURN 2013. Director: Ewa Bukowska.

Duration: 30mins A soldier returns from another tour of duty in war-torn Afghanistan. He was there on a mission to “build a safe and secure home for other nations”. He has returned in order to use the money he earned on his tours of duty to finish building his own home. Will he succeed?

CIVIL RIGHTS:

BEAT FREQUENCY 2013. Director: Arkadiusz Biedrzycki.

Duration: 30mins Three women. One home. A shared and painful past. After seven years of living an emigrant‘s life, Natalia returns to Poland, where she left her daughter, Hela and her mother, Zoa, when she went abroad. She is ready to take on the role of a true mother. What she fails to realise, though, is that it is too late break into her daughter’s and mother’s world, the world she ran away from for years; a world once ruled by a father’s iron hand.
