WELCOME Recently named the most culturally vibrant city in Europe by the EU, Cork is Ireland’s fastest-growing city, a destination for culture lovers with a thriving arts scene. At its heart is Cork Film Festival; 63 years young, Ireland’s first and largest film festival continues to entertain the people of Cork, Ireland, and our many international visitors with programmes that reflect the character of this booming port city: friendly, diverse and outward-looking.

Cllr. Mick Finn Árdmhéara Chorcai, Lord Mayor of Cork

Cork City Council is honoured to part-fund the Festival and especially delighted that the opening film comes from one of Cork’s own filmmakers, Carmel Winters. With funding support from Cork City and County Councils through Film in Cork, Float Like a Butterfly demonstrates our commitment to supporting film production and the Festival. We couldn’t be prouder.

At Cork Film Festival we pride ourselves on our commitment not just to bringing the best new Irish and international cinema to Cork, but to working with artists and organisations – both local and national – to champion new talent and to bring film to new audiences.

Helen Boyle Chair of the Board

The Festival has always been deeply woven into the fabric of Cork, forming lasting partnerships with its businesses, cultural institutions and community organisations, and on behalf of the Festival Board and team I wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our stakeholders, Festival Friends and Volunteers, for their support. In particular, I would like to thank our partners, especially the Arts Council, our principal funder, and Cork City Council, whose invaluable support enables this Festival to deliver an internationally significant celebration of cinema to Cork’s residents and visitors alike.

We warmly welcome you to the Festival this year.

INTRODUCTION

Fiona Clark Festival Producer and CEO

When the first Cork Film Festival took place the ‘King’ was belting out ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ and, like rock ‘n’ roll itself, over 63 years we’ve retained our youthful energy and rebellious verve. Our mission remains steadfast: to bring people together through an outstanding programme of films and events and to create an unforgettable festival experience over ten days in Cork. Whilst the digital age drives rapid change and the film landscape is continually evolving, one thing is constant - our need to tell and share stories. We believe it is vital that we continue to push artistic boundaries, support new talent, and seek out fresh audiences for cinema.

Our ambition, as we build towards our 65th anniversary in 2020, is to make Cork Film Festival the destination of choice for great storytelling on film, for filmmakers and audiences alike. As Ireland’s first and largest film festival, we hope that this year’s programme of over 240 features and shorts will excite and entertain, and perhaps even inspire the creative visionaries of tomorrow.

Please join us for a feast of films this November; at the Festival you can explore and discover the world without leaving Cork!

Michael Hayden Programme Director

It is with some measure of pride and excitement that we’re able to present the programme for the 63rd Cork Film Festival. We set out, as usual, to celebrate significant auteurs while acknowledging award-winners on the international film festival circuit and recognising emerging filmmakers; to screen provocative and engaged nonfiction work; include repertory titles which complement the new work we screen; and produce world-class shorts programmes. It’s now up to you, our audiences, to judge if we have achieved those ambitions.

I want to thank my fellow programmers, who have been brilliant and supportive over the year. I acknowledge all the distributors, sales agents and film representatives who have been keen to engage with the Festival. Most of all, I want to thank the filmmakers whose work we are honoured to showcase.

FRIDAY 9 NOV

FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY Carmel Winters Ireland

101 mins

2018

19:30 | THE EVERYMAN

FEATURE

In rural Ireland during the 1960s, Frances (a break-out performance from Hazel Doupe) is a teenage Traveller who has coped with tragedy from a young age. With her father Michael (Dara Devaney) in prison, she has learnt to fend for herself and her devotion to Muhammad Ali has inspired a passion for boxing. When Michael is released, though, he has forthright opinions about how a young woman should behave.

As Michael decides to uproot his family and go roaming, fiery Frances begins her own journey of discovery.

Cork Film Festival is thrilled to present the second feature from awardwinning filmmaker Carmel Winters as our opening night gala. Shot in Skibbereen and Goleen, Float Like a Butterfly is a life-affirming delight that fiercely challenges patriarchy and stereotypes. MH Winner, FIPRESCI Prize, Toronto International Film Festival, 2018 The Filmmaker will attend the screening.

There will be a second screening on Saturday 10 November at 15:45 in the Everyman, followed by a Q&A with Carmel Winters.

LORDS OF CHAOS

USA 2018

Jonas Åkerlund 22:30 | TRISKEL

FEATURE

A gruesome tale of suicide, arson, murder, satanism, corpsepaint and extreme music. What could be more terrifying? Maybe that it actually happened in Norway in the early nineties. Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, and based on the nonfiction book of the same name, Lords of Chaos hurls us into black metal year zero with the formation of the legendary band Mayhem, and its opportunistic founder

Øystein ‘Euronymous’ Aarseth (Rory Culkin), his mission: to sell music via any exploitative means. However, when his new friend Varg Vickernes (Emory Cohen) starts to believe his rhetoric, things quickly head towards a burning, bloody climax. SE

FAMILY

It’s never too early to be annoyed by Christmas! Based on Dr Seuss’ well-loved seasonal classic, the grumpy Grinch plots to ruin Christmas for the village of Whoville. The Grinch (Benedict Cumberbatch) lives alone in a cave on Mt Crumpet with only his loyal dog, Max, for company. When the villagers decide to make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realizes there’s only one way to ensure some peace and quiet: he must steal Christmas. Will the Grinch succeed, or will he have his heart changed by one young girl’s generous spirit? FC Pre-screening ‘adventure’ starts at 10.30 - see p. 107 for details.

DOCUMENTARY

The latest work from celebrated documentarian Laura Nix follows six brilliant students as they prepare for the world’s largest high school science competition: the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. These young scientists, from Indonesia, India, Mexico and Hawaii, have recognised threats to their local and the global environment and set out to find solutions to change the world. Inventing Tomorrow is a valuable acknowledgement of a generation that can’t rely on others to ensure they have a future and the hopeful, positive tone marks it out from the growing cannon of films addressing environmental issues.

Stephen Maing 13:30 | GATE

USA 2018

114 mins

DOCUMENTARY

In 2015, a group of the city’s cops put their careers at risk when they sued New York City and its police department. The case concerned illegal arrest quotas the NYPD insisted didn’t exist, yet evidence suggests these black and Latino officers were being consistently subjected to immense pressure, forced to arrest and imprison people who, in most cases, looked like them. Those arrested would spend months in prison before having their cases dismissed due to lack of evidence. With unprecedented access to the courageous participants in the lawsuit and featuring a memorable private investigator, Crime + Punishment is one of the most searing documentaries of the year. MH Winner, Special Jury Prize, Sundance Film Festival, 2018

WILD STRAWBERRIES (SMULTRONSTÄLLET)

Ingmar Bergman 13:30 | THE EVERYMAN

Sweden 1957

91 mins Subtitled

CLASSIC

Taking the deceptively simple form of a road movie, Bergman’s masterpiece touches on all the big issues – ageing, loneliness, redemption, regret – with the lightest of touches. Like Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, a calcified man, long set in his cheerless ways, has a series of encounters, some in the form of shades, which prompt him to repent and reassess his ways. Innovative in its use of dream sequences and deft in its colliding of memory and reality, Wild Strawberries belies its director’s reputation as a morose and pessimistic filmmaker for its compassion and hopeful conclusion.

ILLUMINATE

Helen (Augie Duke) rattles around her cramped apartment struggling to come to terms with being raped by her boyfriend. The incident has thrown up painful memories from her past, and Helen has to confront her denial, anger and self-destructive instincts in order to get through her trauma and liberate herself. Shot in stark black and white and featuring a striking, courageous performance from Duke in the lead role, the debut feature from Angelica Zollo is a frank, fearless exploration of the emotional consequences of sexual abuse, a timely and impactful statement from an auspicious filmmaker on the rise. MH Winner, Best Independent Film, Taormina International Film Festival 2018; Winner, Best Director, The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival 2018 Followed by a panel discussion. See p. 105 or details.

TITO AND THE BIRDS (TITO E OS PÁSSAROS)

FAMILY

Tito is a shy 10-year-old boy who lives with his mother and loves making machines, just like his scientist dad who disappeared while inventing a device to help pigeons communicate. When an unusual epidemic starts to spread, making people sick whenever they get scared, Tito and brave sidekick Sarah set out to find a cure, with help from their pigeon pals and their birdsong. They embark on a journey to save the world and Tito’s search for the antidote becomes a quest for his missing father. This beautiful animation gently challenges the notion of ‘fake news’ and is accompanied by a specially designed app and game. FC Winner, Best Feature Film for Children, Animamundi, 2018; Age 10+

FAMILY

Eleven-year-old Wardi is a Palestinian refugee living with her family in Beirut. She is closest with her great-grandfather, Sidi, who is determined that she continue her studies. Wardi learns about her family’s history through stories told by three generations of refugees.

Raised on a farm in Galilee, Sidi and his parents were removed from their home during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and driven into exile in Lebanon. Filled with moments of bittersweet humour and shreds of hope, The Tower tells a personal story of the Middle Eastern crisis in an accessible manner that both children and adults can understand.

Jane Magnusson 16:15 | GATE

© AB Svensk Filmindustri

Sweden 2018

117 mins Subtitled

DOCUMENTARY

In 1957, Ingmar Bergman turned 39 years old. Already established as a serious figure in world cinema, that year he would release two of his signature masterpieces, The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries.

He also wrote and shot Brink of Life, produced two acclaimed stage works, worked in radio and a television and faced upheavals in his personal life. To mark the great auteur’s centenary, Swedish filmmaker Jane Magnusson acknowledges that productive year as a starting point to explore Bergman the man. The result celebrates the genius of his work while presenting a warts-and-all portrait of the complex figure who made it. MH Official Selection, Cannes Film Festival, 2018

HALE COUNTY THIS MORNING, THIS EVENING

RaMell Ross 16:15 | TRISKEL

USA 2018

76 mins

DOCUMENTARY

Photographer and filmmaker RaMell Ross presents an intimate and occasionally heartbreaking depiction of the Southern African American experience. Shot over five years and crediting the acclaimed Thai auteur Apichatpong Weerasethakul as creative adviser, the film is composed of captured moments of people in a community, while the stories of Daniel, a student at the historically black Bible college Selma University, and Quincy, a father and husband, are gradually expanded on. There’s little hand wringing or fist waving here; the drama is subtle, plaintive and the casual beauty is striking. Hale County This Morning, This Evening is an exquisite, rare non-fiction work that takes the breath away. MH Winner, Special Documentary Jury Prize for Creative Vision, Sundance Film Festival, 2018

UNTIL FIRST LIGHT

Kyle Armstrong 16:30 | GATE

Book Now: corkfilmfest.org | 021 427 1711

FEATURE

A meditation on grief, loss and uncertainty, Until First Light sees a man (Darren Frank) return home to his mother and sister in the wake of his brother’s tragic death on the family farm. Shot with available light and set against the backdrop of the Canadian prairies, the film captures a smouldering and oftentimes beautifully brittle landscape that matches the rawness of the emotions portrayed. With this minimal approach, Armstrong has fashioned a distinctive debut feature situated in a crepuscular world of liminal spaces, accentuated by avant-rock musician Jim O’Rourke’s sparse score.

DOCUMENTARY

In a small shop in New York’s Greenwich Village, craftsman Rick Kelly builds custom-made guitars, ably assisted by his apprentice Cindy Hulej and mother Dorothy. What is unique about the guitars in Rick’s shop is that they are crafted using wood reclaimed from some of New York’s most historic buildings and locations, bringing the sound of the city to the instruments themselves. Over five days, director Ron Mann documents the shop and its customers, among them Bill Frisell, Jim Jarmusch and Wilco’s Nels Cline, who all take great delight in sampling Kelly’s wares, and highlights a New York that is rapidly disappearing.

Morgan Neville 18:30 | GATE

USA 2018

94 mins

DOCUMENTARY

Academy Award®-winner Morgan Neville brings to the screen, with great reverence and authenticity, the life of the iconic Mr Rogers, surrogate further to generations of American children through his popular public television show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. A true gentleman and man of affable nature, Fred Rogers’ compassion in communicating with his youth audience, and his mantra, ‘I like you just the way you are’, brought a quietly radical approach to both children’s entertainment and psychology. Weaving archival material, animated sequences and highly personal interviews, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is a beautiful tribute and a rare salve of positivity in these turbulent times.

Expertly crafted by first-time narrative feature director Ondi Timoner (Dig, We Live in Public), Mapplethorpe chronicles the life and work of controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, from his humble beginnings in the iconic Chelsea Hotel and his mythicized relationship with Patti Smith, through his sexual awakening and meteoric rise as an artist and ubiquitous figure in the New York cultural scene of the 1970s and 80s. Matt Smith (Doctor Who, The Crown) inhabits the steely ambition and mercurial nature of the man, whose wild talent and unabashed posturing forged his legacy as a photographic maverick and gay icon.

FEATURE

Luke Morgan has demonstrated a willingness for offbeat storylines and unconventional situations and his feature debut concerns a loved-up elderly couple’s suicide pact. With the unwitting assistance of his granddaughter Alice, the roguish and cantankerous Thaddeus and his girlfriend Sally escape from their nursing home to carry out their plan in a coastal hideaway. It’s unusual for a debut director to focus in on themes of death and ageing, albeit in a comic drama, but it is to Morgan and his leads’ credit that they do so with little vanity.

Joan Jett is inspirational! From her teenage years as one of the founding members of 1970s all-girl glam band The Runaways, through her global hit ‘I Love Rock and Roll’ with her band The Blackhearts, to fronting Nirvana during their performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, just one year before being inducted herself, Jett has never walked the regular path.

A quietly seething film, Eldorado also addresses a flawed support system that liberate refugees from camps, only to see them work illegally, for low wages. MH

Using duplicitous means to apply for a travel visa, her meeting with the US embassy leads to an unexpected expedition to rural Belarus, and a family preparing for a wedding. This curious pretence unearths all manner of juxtapositions: that of east and west, of class divides, and of bitter post-communist generational conflict. Using vibrant cinematography and the energetic rhythms of 90s house music to directly oppose its bleak setting, Crystal Swan is a wildly confident debut from Darya Zhuk, and a fascinating study of post-communist youth. RG Official Selection, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, 2018 Presented in association with Cork Cine Club. There will be a postscreening Q&A with the director.

Salam (Kais Nashif) is down on his luck and short of cash. At the behest of his uncle he takes a job as gofer on popular Palestinian soap opera Tel Aviv on Fire, which means he has to pass through an Israeli checkpoint to reach the television studios. He has a run-in with the commander of the checkpoint, Assi (Yaniv Biton), who reveals particular ideas about what he thinks should happen in the show.

An unlikely collaboration begins. Tel Aviv on Fire is a rare, refreshing satirical comedy that addresses Palestinian-Israeli relations in a smart, warm-hearted manner.

FEATURE

Demonstrating a keen interest in the intersections between institutions and individuals, Antoine Bourges follows a young caseworker in his feature debut. Beginning with her professional environment, the focus turns to her dealings with Eric, a young man with mental health issues who is appearing in court charged with theft. Bourges’ minimalist technique of using long, fixed-camera takes brings a documentary-like sensibility to the film, his use of non-actors adding a deeper layer of verisimilitude. Thanks to his dispassionate eye, Bourges gives an evenhanded – if not empathetic – view of both sides, but most admirable is his commitment to those who fall through the cracks.

FEATURE

In Cyril Schäublin’s formally precise feature debut, a call centre employee, Alice (Sarah Stauffer), commits fraud on elderly ladies by pretending to be their granddaughter in financial distress. Her job, at the wonderfully named Everything Switzerland, involves selling internet subscriptions and insurance deals, and her supervisor’s motivational advice that they are ‘selling emotions’ finds darkly humorous expression in Alice’s nefarious activities. Schäublin’s coolly detached tone matches the temperature of a highly digitised society, mining deadpan humour from an increasingly isolated and atomised society where there’s an elaborate security code for everything.

Bobby Shafran, Eddy Galland and David Kellman were born identical triplets, yet they knew nothing of each other until they were bought together by coincidence in New York in 1980, all aged 19. They became fast friends, their story a fascination for tabloids and chat shows, and were celebrated on the Manhattan party scene. Yet there was a sinister

secret behind their miraculous reunion. Tim Wardle’s gripping documentary emerges as one of the year’s best thrillers, an exceptional work of investigative nonfiction that will leave audiences rubbing their eyes in disbelief. MH Winner, Special Jury Prize Documentary, Sundance Film Festival, 2018

The couple in question are Jane and Eugene and we find them splitting their colourfully decorated apartment over the weekend so both can pursue other options.

Director Kotlyarenko and writer Dasha Nekrasova play our needy leads and manage to invest the shallow pair with the right amount of likeability, a task made more difficult by Eugene’s defiantly hideous man bob. DOM Official Selection, SXSW Film Festival, 2018

Her sense of disquiet is heightened and encouraged when she meets Lola (Zaira Morales), a sensitive artist who is about to go to university.

Worshippers at The Idaho Followers of Christ church interpret God’s word to mean seeking medical intervention is a sin and their entrenched position is protected by law. The consequence is a community with a child mortality rate ten times the national average and compelling evidence suggesting that many have died from easily treatable ailments. Motivated by testimony from some who have left the church, local police investigate and some try to get the law changed. Tom Dumican’s film adopts a disarming, neutral stance, yet the result is an alarming, deftly constructed documentary that highlights clashes between religion and American law.
