SPESIALVISNINGER
SPECIAL SCREENINGS
På TIFF er alle visninger og filmer spesielle, men noen er mer spesielle enn andre. Dette programmet gir deg et bredt spekter av unike filmopplevelser, fra karaoke-kino, til visninger på vår utekino på torget. De fleste av visningene går bare én gang i løpet av festivaluka, så det kan være lurt å begynne her når du skal legge opp årets festivalløype.
A special screening is not like other screenings, to point out the obvious. This sidebar offers a whole range of unique film experiences, like the karaoke screening, and our outdoor Winter Cinema. Most of these screenings are also singular in the sense that they take place only once during the festival, so this might be the place to start planning your schedule.
Utekino: Utendørs film for store og små

NORWAY 2014 DIRECTOR: Arne Lindtner Næss RUNNING TIME: 1h 15m

Lørdag 21. januar inviterer TIFF til Verdens Beste familiedag på utekinoen på Torget! Det blir idyllisk vinterstemning med den herlige familiefilmen KARSTEN OG PETRA PÅ VINTERFERIE.
I KARSTEN OG PETRA PÅ VINTERFERIE reiser de to bestevennene på hyttetur med Esther og morfar. Kosedyrene Frøken Kanin og Løveungen er selvfølgelig med. I ei hel uke skal de gå masse på ski og øve seg på å stå i nedoverbakke. Men Karsten er ikke så flink til å gå på ski og synes at bakken er litt skummel. I nabohytta bor Petter, han er både tøff og flink til å stå på ski. Karsten tror at Petra er mer opptatt av Petter enn av ham, og bestemmer seg for å delta i et hopprenn, for å vise Petra at han er like flink som Petter.
TIFF inviterer til en morsom dag med musikk fra filmene, snøaktiviteter, gratis solboller fra Coop nord, varm toddy fra Kaffebønna og en nydelig film om vennskap og familie. TIFF invites you to the annual Family Day, Saturday January 21st at the Winter Cinema at Stortorget. This year’s event is filled with idyllic winter atmosphere with the delightful family film CASPER AND EMMA’S WINTER VACATION.
Casper and Emma go off to a cabin for their winter vacation. They play in the snow and have a great time together until Peter shows up. It seems that Peter is really good at all kinds of things, and Emma thinks he’s just fantastic. Casper does everything he can to prove he’s good at stuff too, but is this the way to win Emma back?
Welcome to a family day filled with music from the movies, activities in the snow and a wonderful film about friendship and family.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FILM WILL BE SCREENED IN NORWEGIAN.

AMBULANCE
AMBULANSE
NORWAY, PALESTINE 2016 DIRECTOR: Mohamed Jabaly SCREENPLAY: Mohamed Jabaly CINEMATOGRAPHY: Mohamed Jabaly RUNNING TIME: 1h 20m PRODUCER: John Arvid Berge SOURCE: JABFilm Production

Gaza, sommeren 2014. Det ryktes om en ny offensiv fra Israel. Krigen vil komme nærmere, og bli enda mer voldsom. Mens de fleste innbyggerne vil forsøke å flykte, ønsker Mohamed Jabaly, en ung mann i 20-årene, å hjelpe. Han slutter seg til et ambulanseteam, som manøvrerer seg gjennom byen med sine egne liv som innsats. Mohamed dokumenterer krigen fra innsiden av ambulansen, og ute blant menneskene som får sine liv ødelagt for alltid, etter hvert som bombene faller over hans hjemby.
ambulance er en rå og sterk førstehåndsberetning om konflikten i Gaza. Ikke bare forteller filmen om krigens mange tragedier, men også om mennesker som gjør sitt beste for å hjelpe sine medmennesker, til tross for at de selv befinner seg under angrep. Det er et modig og oppsiktsvekkende verk som makter å være både kompromissløst og menneskelig, presentert av en spennende ung filmskaper som krever å bli hørt.
Gaza, the summer of 2014. The word is of a new Israeli offensive. While most people want to flee, Mohamed Jabaly — a young man in his twenties — wants to help. He joins an ambulance crew, maneuvering their way through a city under siege with their own lives on the line. Mohamed documents the war with his camera, seen from the inside of the ambulance, and out among people who will have their lives changed forever, as the bombs keep falling on his home town.
ambulance is a raw first-person account of the conflict in Gaza. Not only does it show the horrors of war, but also the brave people trying to help, despite being trapped inside the conflict themselves. It is a brave and stunning piece of filmmaking that manages to be both merciless and human, presented by an exciting new filmmaker who demands to be heard.
REGISSØREN
Mohamed Jabaly (f. 1990) er en filmskaper og kunstner fra Gaza. Han ønsker å presentere historier fra det palestinske samfunnet gjennom musikk, film og fotografier. AMBULANCE er hans første helaftens dokumentarfilm, som allerede har høstet lovord på flere filmfestivaler, inkludert Doc Fest i Sheffield og IDFA i Amsterdam.
THE DIRECTOR
Mohamed Jabaly (b. 1990) is a filmmaker and artist from Gaza. He wishes to present stories from the Palestine community through music, film and photography. AMBULANCE is his first feature documentary, and it has already received high praise from film festivals such as Doc Fest in Sheffield and IDFA in Amsterdam.

THE ROOM
USA 2003 DIRECTOR: Tommy Wiseau SCREENPLAY: Tommy Wiseau CINEMATOGRAPHY: Todd Barron CAST: Tommy Wiseau, Juliette Danielle, Greg Sestero RUNNING TIME: 1h 39m PRODUCER: Wiseau-Films SOURCE: Wiseau Films

Den vellykkede finansmannen Johnny lever et tilsynelatende problemfritt liv i San Francisco. Han er svært høyt ansett, det venter en forfremmelse på jobben, og han lever i et lidenskapelig samboerskap med sin forlovede Lisa. Men under idyllen murrer det. Plutselig en dag innleder Lisa et forhold til Johnnys bestevenn Mark, hvorpå Johnnys tilværelse raser sammen. Sjalusi, galskap og døden lurer etter hvert i kulissene.
the room er ofte omtalt som “The Citizen Kane of bad films”. Filmen ble på kort tid et kultfenomen verden over, mye på grunn av den utilsiktede komikken som oppstår i dramaets bisarre dialog, merkelige timing, mengder av karakterer, underlige digresjoner og voldsomme patos. Regissør Tommy Wiseau er både hovedrolleinnehaver, manusforfatter og produsent.
Johnny is a successful banker living a seemingly trouble-free life in San Francisco. He is well thought of, awaiting a promotion at work, and is in a passionate relationship with his fiancée Lisa. Seemingly out of the blue, Lisa starts an affair with Johnny’s best friend Mark. From there Johnny’s world falls apart. Jealousy, madness and death awaits.
the room is known as “the Citizen Kane of bad movies”. Its unintentional comedy, a result of bizarre dialogue, strange timing, heaps of characters, odd digressions and heavy pathos has led to a huge worldwide cult status. Director, writer and producer Tommy Wiseau also stars as the lead actor.
REGISSØREN
Lite er kjent om Tommy Wiseau. Han har i intervjuer vært svært tilbakeholden og ofte kommet med motstridende fortellinger rundt sin egen bakgrunn. THE ROOM var hans regidebut. Han har i hovedsak levd av fenomenet rundt filmen siden. Nylig vendte han tilbake i regissørstolen med nettserien THE NEIGHBORS.
THE DIRECTOR
Little is known about Tommy Wiseau. He is notoriously vague and often incoherent about his background. THE ROOM was his debut as a director, and he has made a career out of the phenomena surrounding the film. He recently he returned to the director’s chair with the webseries THE NEIGHBORS.

RASHOMON – DEMONENES PORT
RASHÔMON
JAPAN 1950 DIRECTOR: Akira Kurosawa SCREENPLAY: Shinibu Hashimoto, Akira Kuroswa CINEMATOGRAPHY: Kazuo Miyagawa CAST: Toshirô Mifune, Machiko Kyô, Masayuki Mori, Takashi Shimura, Minoru Chiaki RUNNING TIME: 1h 28m PRODUCER: Minoru Jingo SOURCE: Norsk Filmklubbforbund

rashomon er en av filmhistoriens viktigste klassikere. Den vakte lite oppmerksomhet ved premieren i Japan og ble ingen bestselger for selskapet Daiei. Da filmen året etter vant Gulløven ved filmfestivalen i Venezia, og det følgende året også mottok en Oscar for beste ikke-engelskspråklige film, var det likevel liten tvil om at man stod overfor en milepæl i filmhistorien. rashomon åpnet verdens øyne for japansk filmkultur, mens japanerne på sin side kjente godt til, og var sterkt påvirket av, den vestlige filmen.
rashomon forteller historien om et overfall på en adelsdame og hennes mann, men dette er ingen klassisk historiefortelling. Snarere søker filmen å peke på hva som egentlig skjedde, vinklet fra ulike personers synspunkter. Gjennom å stille spørsmål ved sin egen fortelling og presentere alternative forløp, brakte filmen modernismen til japansk film og ble samtidig et forbilde for europeiske og amerikanske filmskapere – fra de franske nybølgeregissørene til amerikanske action-filmskapere.
rashomon is one of the most significant works in the history of film. Whereas Western filmmaking had long influenced Japanese film culture, rashomon was the first Japanese film to make a significant impact on the West. It received little attention at the time of its release in Japanese cinemas and reaped no commercial rewards for its studio in 1950. However, after winning the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival in 1951 and the Oscar for best foreign language film the following year, it soon emerged as a true milestone in the history of cinema.
rashomon is the tale of a crime committed out in the woods, involving two aristocrats and a robber. The story is told from several characters’ points of view. But which one of them is telling the truth? rashomon influenced European new-wave directors as well as American action-film directors. rashomon is the first Japanese film with a clearly modernist story.
REGISSØREN
Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998) er en av filmhistoriens største filmskapere, og slo igjennom internasjonalt med RASHOMON på begynnelsen av 1950-tallet. Kurosawa hadde opprinnelig tenkt å bli maler, men debuterte som filmregissør i 1943. Hans filmer fikk stor betydning, spesielt for vestlige filmskapere.
THE DIRECTOR
Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998) is one of the greatest directors in the history of film. After working on several films as an assistant director, he directed his first feature in 1943. His later career coincided with a declining Japanese film industry, and several of his films were produced using overseas funding.

Gjør deg klar for TIFF-historiens første karaokevisning. For å sikre at stemninga og allsangen går i taket, vises ingen ringere enn grease – et av tidenes mest populære musikaler på film, og en klassiker som tåler flere gjensyn.
«Good girl» Sandy og «greaser» Danny har blitt forelska i hverandre etter å ha tilbrakt flere varme «Summer Nights» sammen, men når skolesemesteret starter, slår tenåringstrøbbelet inn. Kan tøffingen fra T-Bird-gjengen synge søte duetter med den uskyldige, erkesunne nykommeren Sandy? Til tross for at de begge er «Hopelessly Devoted» til hverandre og gjennomgår «Magic Changes», må de forsere mange hindere, før de endelig kan erklære for hverandre at «You’re The One That I Want». Ung kjærlighet, spesielt slik John Travolta og Olivia Newton-John uttrykker det i GREASE, med energi og pasjon, blir aldri avleggs. Kom med den stemmen du har, og bli med på «Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On»!
Don’t miss out on the first ever sing-along at Tromsø International Film Festival. Sure to raise voices as well as the theatre’s roof, the classic grease is one of the most popular filmed musicals in history.
Sandy and Danny spent some short and sweet “Summer Nights” together, but as the holiday ends, they’re hit by high school reality. Can the T-Bird bad boy do romantic duets with the good girl newbie Sandy? Despite secretly admitting to be “Hopelessly Devoted To You” and undergoing some “Magic Changes”, they still have quite a few hurdles to overcome before they can declare “You’re The One That I Want”. Young love, especially with the energy and feeling John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John bring to grease, never grows old. So get ready and let’s get a “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On”!

WORDS WITH GODS
MEXICO, USA 2014 DIRECTORS: Guillermo Arriaga, Hector Babenco, Bahman Ghobadi, Amos Gitai, Álex de la Iglesia, Emir Kusturica, Mira Nair, Hideo Nakata, Warwick Thomson RUNNING TIME: 2h 15m PRODUCER: Lucas Akoskin, Guillermo Arriaga, Alex Garcia, Ami Boghani, Michael Tapuah SOURCE: Latam Pictures

words with gods er en antologi som presenterer ni kortfilmer fra kjente regissører. Felles for filmene er at regissørene utforsker tro, tvil og livstolkning med utgangspunkt i egen kultur. Antologien spenner vidt. Alle filmene utforsker religiøse temaer knyttet til livsoverganger, valg og verdier. Historiene tar blant annet utgangspunkt i lidelsens problem i buddhismen etter tsunamien i 2004, og hvilken rolle jødisk-kristne profetier spiller for dagens konflikter i Midtøsten. Men filmene utforsker også problemstillinger knyttet til blant annet hinduisme, ateisme, islam og kristendom. words with gods gir et bredt og unikt innblikk i et mangfold av livssyn og trosretninger, og er et bidrag til å reflektere over de felles menneskelige vilkårene bak ulike religiøse praksiser.
words with gods vises i tilknytning til seminaret radikal tro eller fanatisme som finner sted på KulturHuset fredag 20. januar kl. 14–16.
words with gods in an anthology that presents nine short films from renowned directors. The common thread is an examination of religion, regardless of whether the director was a believer or not. The directors investigate existential questions, faith and doubt with their own culture as a point of departure. Some of the narratives focus on the problem of suffering in Buddhism after the tsunami in 2004, and on what role the Jewish-Christian prophecies play in the conflict in the Middle East today. But the films also explore themes from Hinduism, Atheism, Islam and Christianity. words with gods gives a unique insight in the diversity of religious practices, and a contribution to reflect on the shared human conditions that the different religions address.
REGISSØREN
Guillermo Arriaga (f. 1958) som var initiativtaker til WORDS WITH GODS er en meksikansk regissør, produsent og manusforfatter. Han er kjent for arbeidet sitt med filmer som BABEL, 21 GRAM og ELSKEDE KJØTERE. WORDS WITH GODS vant en interreligiøs pris ved filmfestivalen i Venezia i 2014.
