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 stumfilmkonserter 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 silent film concert, and our outdoors 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

WINTER CINEMA

VELKOMMEN TIL UTEKINO!

Tradisjonen tro viser Tromsø Internasjonale Filmfestival film for alle aldersgrupper på utekinoen i festivaluka. I år blir det visninger fra tirsdag til lørdag, med Verdens Beste familiedag lørdag klokka 15.00 – se neste side. Mørketida er perfekt for film, og med snø og vintermørke blir Stortorget en kinosal utenom det vanlige.

Klokka 09.00 viser vi kortfilmprogrammer for barn. Tirsdag og torsdag er filmene tilpasset barn i skolealder, mens filmene torsdag og fredag passer for barn i barnehagen.

Klokka 17.00 og 19.00 viser vi film for publikum i alle aldre, blant annet kortfilm, musikkvideoer og snowboardfilm. Følg med på våre nettsider for nærmere informasjon.

Verdens Beste familiedag med FROST

På Verdens Beste familiedag lørdag 17. januar klokka 15.00 inviterer vi store og små til å oppleve FROST på Utekinoen på Torget. Vi får besøk av selveste Lisa Stokke, som hadde den norske stemmen til Elsa i filmen.

FROST er en av tidenes mest populære Disneyfilmer, og vant Oscar for beste animerte spillefilm. Handlingen er lagt til et snørikt, kaldt landskap, inspirert av norsk natur. Hva passer vel bedre enn å feire 25-årsjubileet til TIFF med å vise FROST på utekinoen?

Lisa Stokke, som er fra Tromsø, kommer for å synge filmens store hit «La den gå». Det blir salg av varm mat og drikke. Ta på varme klær, og syng og dans gjerne med for å holde varmen!

FROST

REGI: Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee

Arrangert i samarbeid med Innovasjon Norge.

Saturday January 17th is family day at the Winter Cinema – and kick-off for TIFF’s children’s film festival Verdens Beste.

This year, everyone is invited to the Winter Cinema for a screening of FROZEN. Lisa Stokke, the voice of the main character Elsa in the Norwegian version, will be present.

FROZEN is one of Disney’s all time favorite films and was named Best Animation Picture at the Academy Awards in 2014. Set in a snow world inspired by Norwegian landscapes, the film is a perfect match for the celebration of TIFF’s 25th anniversary.

Lisa Stokke, who is originally from Tromsø, will perform the big hit from FROZEN, “Let it go”. Warm food and drinks can be purchased. Remember to bring lots of clothes, and you are welcome to sing and dance to keep warm!

BED AND SOFA

TRETYA MESHCHANSKAYA

SOVIET UNION 1927 DIRECTOR: Abram Room SCREENPLAY: Abram Room, Viktor Shklovsky CINEMATOGRAPHY: Grigori Giber CAST: Nikolai Batalov, Lyudmila Semyonova, Leonid Yurenev, Vladimir Vogel, Yelena Sokolova RUNNING TIME: 1h 35m PRODUCER: Arsenal

Macho-mannen Kolja og hans forsømte, lettere frustrerte kone Ljuda lever i en slags våpenhvile i sin trange leilighet i Meshchanskaya 3 i Moskva. Det er sommer og varmt, og stemningen blir ikke noe bedre da Kolja tar med seg hjem Voldoja , en arbeidsløs og husløs kompis. Voldoja blir tilbudt en plass på sofaen, men når Kolja så kommer tilbake fra en jobbreise, er det han som må flytte på sofaen. Livet går ufortrødent videre helt til Ljuda forteller at hun er gravid. De to men-nene er plutselig ganske så enige om hvordan dette skal løses, men da får de oppleve en annen side av Ljuda...

bed and sofa skiller seg fra det meste av sovjetisk film, ikke bare fordi sosialnød var noe Partiet helst ville fortie, men også fordi den er frekk og morsom. En trekant bestående av to dum-me menn og én sterk kvinne er fortsatt uimotståelig.

The young married couple Kolya and Lyuda live with their cat in a small apartment in Meshchanskaya 3 Street in Moscow. He is goofy, with a strong macho streak; she is bored and trapped in her wifely role. One day Kolya runs into homeless army buddy Voldoya and offers him to sleep on the couch. This hardly improves the atmosphere, but while Kolya is away on business, sparks start to fly between Voldoya and Lyuda and now Kolya ends up on the couch. The mènage á trois settles into a daily routine, but everything is upturned when Lyuda announces that she is pregnant.

bed and sofa boldly breaks with “official” Soviet film by showing social problems and portraying the lives of individuals. In addition, it is cheeky and entertaining also for modern audiences. A “household of three”, with two dumb men and one strong woman still holds irresistible appeal.

REGISSØREN

Abram Room (1894–1976) var filmskaper og manusforfatter i Sovjetunionen født i Vilnius i Litauen. Han begynte som journalist før han begynte å jobbe i teater på 1920-tallet.

Den tidligere fiskeren Johan lever et rutinepreget liv der det dreier seg om å svømme, hogge ved og stelle med rabarbrabedet. Da sønnen hans Andreas kommer flyttende hjem og bryter inn i livet til faren, blir deres allerede dårlige forhold satt på prøve. Gjennom en rekke dramatiske og humoristiske hendelser må Johan må ta et oppgjør med hvordan han lever livet sitt og måten han behandler dem rundt seg.

stup er en lavbudsjett-spillefilm og er et resultat av Filmfangst, et prosjekt i regi av det Tromsø-baserte Filmveksthuset Tvibit.

dive tells about Johan, a former fisherman, who lives a life full of routines: it’s all about swimming, chopping wood and his plot of rhubarb. Then his son Andreas moves back home and starts to interfere with Johan’s life, and their already bad relationship is put to the test. Through several dramatic and humorous situations, Johan must face his inner demons and make some hard choices about his life.

This low budget feature film is a part of Filmveksthuset Tvibit’s talent project Filmfangst.

ORPHÉE

FRANCE 1950 DIRECTOR: Jean Cocteau SCREENPLAY: Jean Cocteau CINEMATOGRAPHY: Nicolas Hayer CAST: Jean Marais, Maria Casarès, François Perier, Maria Déa RUNNING TIME: 1h 35m PRODUCER: André Paulvé SOURCE: Norsk filmklubbforbund / Europe’s Finest

Den greske myten om Orfeus og Evrydike forteller om to elskende som skilles av døden. Orfeus reiser til dødsriket for å hente sin kjære tilbake. Han får henne med, på den betingelse at han ikke skal se tilbake på henne da de drar. Dessverre klarer Orfeus ikke å lå være å snu seg. I Jean Cocteaus filmversjon orphée er historien sterkt omskrevet og tilpasset kriminalgåtens form, lagt til Paris’ kule poet-miljø på 1950-tallet. Orfeus er poeten som mister sin kjære og må hente henne tilbake, i et merkelig samspill med dødens prinsesse, hennes avdøde sjåfør og to mystiske motorsyklister. Cocteau skal ha lagt inn mange selvbiografiske elementer i hovedpersonen Orfeus.

Filmen evnet å fange noe av den matte stemningen i etterkrigstidens Frankrike. Den ble en publikumssuksess på kino og en klassiker i filmhistorien, og er tidligere vist i Norge med tittelen evige lenker.

The ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice tells of two lovers separated by death. Orpheus tries to regain his beloved Eurydice, but fails when he breaks his vow not to turn around and look at her as they walk back from the realm of the dead. In Jean Cocteau’s film version, this myth is strongly rewritten and set in the hip young milieu of 1950s Paris, where Orpheus is a popular poet. The film introduces new characters, such as the Princess of Death, her chauffeur and two mystery men on motor bikes, and Cocteau is said to have added several autobiographical elements to the story.

orphée reflects the gloom of post-war France in a modernist form. It was a box-office success and has remained an important classic of French cinema.

REGISSØREN

Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) var en ledende fransk kunstner i forrige århundre: Han var forfatter, designer, maler og filmskaper – og vanket i samme miljø som Marcel Proust, Pablo Picasso og Eric Satie. Cocteau trodde på den personlige filmskaperen som helst skulle stå for regi, manus og flest mulig andre fagfunksjoner.

THE DIRECTOR

Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was a leading French artist in the twentieth century. He was a writer, painter, designer and filmmaker, and moved in the same circles as Eric Satie, Pablo Picasso and Marcel Proust. Cocteau believed that a filmmaker should both write and direct, but also cover areas such as cinematography and set design.

BEYOND HORIZONS

This video art program focuses on resource management, notions of landscape and human rights in the New North.

THE RIGHT TO THE LAND AND THE WATER RETTEN TIL LANDET OG VANNET

DIR: Geir Tore Holm, / Norway 2010-11 / 14m

The film is based on interviews with people who are affected by the Finnmark Act by which «the Sami have collectively and individually acquired rights to land». The various viewpoints are voiced by a man who is out logging – traditional knowledge meets formalized opinions on land use.

HOLLOW EARTH

DIR: Tanya Busse/Emilija Skarnulyte / Canada/ Lithuania 2014 / 8m

This is a visual meditation and examination of contemporary resource conditions within the circumpolar areas of the North. Combining research material, landscape shots and archival footage, this short film hopes to reflect over the changing image of the north, as a site where violence, desire, greed, and emotions are played out.

TERRA NULLIUS II

DIR: Siri Hermansen / Norway 2013 / 14m

This film focuses on the ongoing conflict between the mining industry and the Saami’s right to their land. Through microstudies and participant observations, Hermansen takes her point of departure in the mining community of Kiruna and the surrounding Sami areas in northernmost Sweden, located between the mountains Luossavaara and Kiirunavaara.

THERE’S GROUND IN THE VESTFJORD DET ER BOTN I VESTFJORDEN

DIR: Karianne Stensland / Norway 2014 / 9,5m

Oil, fish, decay and growth are central elements in this short film. On a warm summer day, Karianne Stensland crosses the Vestfjord in a rowing boat. The journey from Steigen to Lofoten takes six hours. While rowing, Stensland is confronted with an anxiety about the depth, marine life, seismic activity, and living in one of the richest country in the world.

LEAVE IT IN THE GROUND

DIR: Oliver Ressler / Austria 2013 / 18m

With the idyllic Lofoten archipelago as its background, the film describes the climate crisis not as a technical and scientific problem, but as a political problem. It discusses how ecological and humanitarian disasters caused by global warming might topple old orders and open up for long-term social and political transformations, both positive and negative.

BREAKING THE ICE/VANGUARD

DIR: Kjetil Berge / Norway 2014 / 12m

For the 2013 Barents Spektakel festival, the Norwegian artist Kjetil Berge drove an ice cream van fromLondon to Kirkenes via Murmansk. Along the way he exchanged ice creams for a chat about the weather with people he met. This film is based on Berge’s trip.

NOMAD TALK

DIR: Matti Aikio / Norway 2014 / 8m

The film gives a glimpse of how the Sámi people define and relate to place, home, animals, and nature. It comprises stories on Sámi nomadism and the vulnerability of reindeer to predators.

Governance of natural resources and the rights to the land and the sea

The expression “to look beyond the horizon” can be understood as meaning to search for new knowledge, or to look towards what we cannot yet fully understand or perceive. The short film program Beyond Horizons focuses on works by artists who question the governance of natural resources in Northern Norway and the High North. An important issue in this regard is the right to the land and the sea. Another core issue is climate change, and the impact local interventions can have on a global scale. By exploring these themes, the artists included in this program imply that we need to think new, or even learn from what we already know to look beyond the given horizons.

Though these themes are highly relevant in the present geopolitical situation, the films screened in this program also relate to a tradition within visual art dealing with Northern Norway. Since the 16th century, Northern Norway has been a popular motive for scientists, artists and travelers. While an outside gaze for a long time characterized the schema of Northern Norway within visual arts, the creation of a Northern Norwegian identity and the revitalization of Sami and Kven culture contributed to the creation of an inside gaze from the 1970s and onwards.

Artists’ interest in Northern Norway and the High North has increased lately due to the current political situation, and the discourses produced on Northern Norway within the field of visual art seem more diverse than ever before. Even so, like during Romanticism nature is still a core concept in artworks relating to Northern Norway and the High North.

WORK IN PROGRESS: FRA BALKONGEN

WORK IN PROGRESS: ON THE BALCONY

NORGE 2015 DIRECTOR: Ole Giæver

«Hvorfor skal vi krangle med barna våre for å få dem til å spise en ekstra bit brokkoli til middagen når sola likevel skal brenne opp om fem milliarder år?» Etter suksessen med mot naturen er Ole Giæver allerede i gang med sin tredje spillefilm. I løpet av et år betrakter han verden fra sin egen balkong: livet på utsiden, med nabolaget, menneskene, byen og naturen, men også hverdagslivet og de nære relasjonene på innsiden.

fra balkongen er et tematisk filmessay som tar deg med på en visuell og mental reise – fra de innerste tanker og bekymringer til betraktninger om vår plass i det store universet, alt mens jorda tar sin 365 dager lange reise rundt sola. Assosiasjonene illustreres og iscenesettes av arkivmateriale, scener med andre skuespillere, animasjon og klipp fra det virkelige liv. Under presentasjonen får du se sammenhengende strekk og scener fra de fire første månedene av en innspilling som varer til september 2015. Forventet premiere er september 2016.

After his success with out of nature, director Ole Giæver is under way with his third feature film. In the course of one year, he observes the world from his own balcony: the neighborhood, the city and the nature, life on the outside; and the relations and everyday life on the inside. from the balcony is a thematic film essay, a visual and mental journey from our innermost thoughts and feelings, via observations of the mundane and ordinary, to the fundamental question of our role in the big universe. Estimated premiere is September 2016.

WORK IN PROGRESS: GOD

WORK IN PROGRESS: GOOD

NORGE 2015 DIRECTOR: Margreth Olin

god er en helaftens dokumentar om Snåsamannen, Joralf Gjerstad. En film som undersøker hva som skjer med oss hvis vi retter oppmerksomheten mot det gode. Joralfs Gjerstads navn vekker både begeistring og harme. Noen tror på hans evner og er overbevist, andre er skeptiske. I filmen god møter vi mennesker som på forskjellige måter er gitt opp av systemet – eller selv har gitt opp. Og vi kommer under huden på en mann som har brukt 65 år av sitt liv på å hjelpe andre mennesker med å finne tilbake til kraften i seg selv.

god er et dristig prosjekt fra en uredd filmskaper. Margreth Olin vil her vise frem de første klippene fra filmen, og fortelle om bakgrunnen for filmen og sine møter med hovedpersonen.

good is a feature-length documentary about the so-called Snåsamannen, the Norwegian healer Joralf Gjerstad. Gjerstad causes both positive and negative reactions among people: Some are convinced of his powers, other remain skeptical. good is a film about a man who has spent sixty-five years of his live to try to help other people regain their inner powers. We get to meet people whom for some reason have been given up by the system – or who have given up themselves.

In this event, director Margreth Olin will let us in on the process behind the film and her meetings with Gjerstad, and show clips from the film.

The presentation will be given in Norwegian.

WORK IN PROGRESS: ALT DET VAKRE

NORWAY 2015 DIRECTOR: Aasne Vaa Greibrokk

Sarah (Ann Eleonora Jørgensen) og David (Magnus Crepper) har ikke sett hverandre på ti år. Hun ankommer sommerstedet hans, hvor han trenger hjelp til å gjøre ferdig arbeidet med et skuespill, en dramatisering av deres langvarige og turbulente forhold. Filmen er fortalt gjennom tre kjærlighetshistorier om tilsynelatende ulike par. De heter alle Sarah og David, men spilles av forskjellige skuespillere som er i 20-, 30- og 40-årene.

Elskerne knyttes sammen i et flettverk av paradokser: De er avhengige av hverandre, men holder ikke ut intimiteten. De vil bli elsket uansett hvor lytefulle, klanderverdige og ukontrollerbare de er. Det kaotiske forholdet er tuftet på kjærlighet, humor og selvforakt – som både binder dem sammen og gjør kjærligheten uforutsigbar.

Regissør Aasne Vaa Greibrokk vil her vise de første klippene fra alt det vakre, og snakke om prosessen bak sin ambisiøse debutspillefilm.

Sarah (Ann Eleonora Jørgensen) and David (Magnus Crepper) meet for the first time in ten years when she arrives at his summer residence. David needs help finishing a play, which turns out to be a dramatization of their long, troublesome relationship. The film presents three love stories about seemingly different couples; all named Sarah and David, but played by different actors in respectively their 20s, 30s and 40s.

The lovers are entangled in a vortex of paradoxes, and their chaotic relationship is characterized by love, humor and self-loathing, all binding them together and making their affair highly unpredictable.

Director Aasne Vaa Greibrokk will present the first clips from her new film. The presentation will be held in Norwegian only.

AMBULANCE

PALESTINE 2015 DIRECTOR: Mohamed Jabaly SCREENPLAY: Mohamed Jabaly CINEMATOGRAPHY: Mohamed Jabaly RUNNING TIME: 45m PRODUCER: Håkon B. Toft SOURCE: Håkon B. Toft

I juli og august 2014 var Gaza målet for en israelsk militæroperasjon. Filmskaper Mohamed Jabaly hadde et sterkt ønske om å bruke sin kompetanse til å dokumentere de menneskelige omkostningene av angrepet. Han ble med et ambulanseteam på jobb for å komme tettest mulig innpå begivenhetene. Teamet var kontinuerlig på vakt, behandlet folk der det var mulig og de evakuerte skadde der det var nødvendig, mens Jabalys kamera gikk kontinuerlig, uten sjanse til ettertanke eller analysere.

Denne filmen gir et unikt innblikk i hverdagslivet i Gaza under angrepene, og situasjonen for ambulanseteamet. Ikke bare når de risikerer livet for å redde andre, men innimellom slagene, i øyeblikk av normalitet der de kan tulle litt, drømme, tenke på hvordan et liv uten krigshandlinger arter seg.

Filmen er støttet av Nordnorsk Filmsenter, Palestinakomiteen i Norge, Vennskapsbyprosjektet Tromsø-Gaza tvibit, Filmveksthuset tvibit.

The city of Gaza was the target of an Israeli military operation in July and August 2014. Filmmaker Mohamed Jabaly wanted to document the human costs of the attacks, and decided to join an ambulance staff, knowing they would be on the front line constantly. They were treating injuries when possible and when it wasn’t, they evacuated the wounded from all over the Gaza strip to hospitals and safe shelters. Jabaly’s camera was rolling continuously, capturing difficult scenes directly, with no distance, no chance to analyze.

This film shows both daily life in Gaza during the attacks and the routines of the ambulance staff. Not only how they put their lives in danger to save others, but also in the moments of normality: joking, dreaming and remembering what ordinary life without war is like.

Mohamed Jabaly (f. 1990) er en ung journalist, fotograf og filmskaper, bosatt i Gaza. Han har studert informasjonsteknologi ved Det islamske universitetet i Gaza.

I morgenrøde befinner vi oss i et fremtidig Norge. Apokalypsen har funnet sted, vannet er forgiftet og sivilisasjonen har brutt sammen. Gjennom dette dystre landskapet vandrer to skikkelser som er like mistenksomme overfor hverandre som de er overfor de forræderiske omgivelsene.

morgenrøde er et kammerspill i vidåpne, postapokalyptiske landskap, med knapp dialog og hypnotiske bilder. Ingar Helge Gimle og Torstein Bjørklund spiller rollene.

dawn takes place at the beginning of a new aeon, years after a global apocalypse. Surrounded by an endless desert – hazy, drab, and bleak – two survivors eye each other with the same depraved mutual suspicion with which they contemplate their inhospitable surroundings.

This is a mythological chamber play about faith, the beyond and the struggle against dehydration, in a wide-open, post-apocalyptic landscape. The film features Ingar Helge Gimle and Torstein Bjørklund in its two roles, and is characterized by sparse dialogue and hauntingly hypnotic cinematography.

MIRAKLET I VISKAN

VISKAN MIRACLES

SVEDEN NORWAY 2014 DIRECTOR: John O. Olsson SCREENPLAY: John O. Olsson CINEMATOGRAPHY: John O. Olsson CAST: Rolf Lassgård, Lia Boysen, Marika Lindström, Douglas Johansson, Ingvar Hirdwall, Elisabeth Carlsson RUNNING TIME: 1h 45m PRODUCER: John O. Olsson, Anna Björk SOURCE: Giraff Film

Bjarne og Malin Nyman bor sammen med døtrene Moa og Fanny i Viskan, en svensk småby ved bredden av elva Ljungan. På den andre siden av elva bor Malins foreldre Halvar og Gerda, men Bjarne har aldri kommet godt overens med svigerfar. Det skyldes gammelt agg, og det faktum at Halvar ved pensjonsalder motvillig lot Bjarne ta over som daglig leder i sitt tidligere så framgangsrike flyttebyrå Englunds Expressbyrå. Nå er det dårligere tider for firmaet. En dag tar Malin den skjebnesvangre turen over elva for å få sin far til å garantere for et lån Bjarne vil ta opp.

Rolf Lassgård, kjent fra min store, tjukke far og filmene om Kurt Wallander, spiller rollen som den velmenende Bjarne Nyman. miraklet i viskan er et drama om hvordan ulmende klassekonflikt og personlige motsetninger snur opp ned på livet til en familie og et helt lokalsamfunn.

Bjarne and Malin live with their two daughters in Viskan, a small town by the banks of the river Ljungan in Sweden. Malin’s parents Halvar and Gerda live just across the river, but Bjarne has never been on good terms with his father-in-law. This is partly due to the fact that Halvar, when he reached his retirement age, reluctantly let Bjarne take over his once so successful moving company. Even though Halvar continues to blame his son-in-law for poor management, Malin is forced to ask him to guarantee for Bjarne’s new loan.

With veteran Rolf Lassgård (the hunters, the Wallander series) in a leading role, the miracle in viskan tells the story of how class conflicts and personal strife can turn things upside-down not only for a family, but for an entire community.
