- La última película. Raya Martin & Mark Peranson, Mexico/Canada/Denmark/Philippines, 2013, 35mm, 88m
English and Spanish with English subtitles.
English and Spanish with English subtitles.
In this documentary within a narrative—and vice versa—a grandiose filmmaker (Alex Ross Perry) arrives in the Yucatán to scout locations for his new movie, a production that will involve exposing the last extant celluloid film stock on the eve of the Mayan Apocalypse. Instead, he finds himself waylaid by the formal schizophrenia of the film in which he himself is a character. Simultaneously a tribute to and a critique of The Last Movie (Dennis Hopper’s seminal obliteration of the boundary separating life and cinema), La última película engages with the impending death of celluloid through a veritable cyclone of film and video formats, genres, modes, and methods. Martin and Peranson have created an unclassifiable work that mirrors the contortions and leaps of the medium’s history and present.

- Castanha. Davi Pretto, Brazil, 2014, DCP, 95m. Portuguese with English subtitles. (foto arriba).
Davi Pretto’s first feature-length film chronicles the daily life of João Carlos Castanha, a middle-aged, single, ailing actor who supports both himself and his live-in mother by working as a cross-dressing nightclub MC. When in drag, Castanha plays the part of a larger-than-life scoundrel, verbally assailing the clientele while also enjoying periodic visits from friends backstage. On the side, Castanha finds work as an extra in film productions and taking bit parts in small plays. His greatest roles, and greatest loves, are in the past, making way for his repressed memories to take over, and finally allowing the line between his experience of reality and fantasy to blur, as the film takes haunting and confounding turns.

- La Libertad. Lisandro Alonso, 2001. Argentina | Format: 35MM | 73 minutesES.
Alonso’s landmark feature debut, based on months of closely observing its subject’s routines, follows a day in the life of Misael, a young woodcutter in the Argentinean pampas. Using long takes that are at once uninflected and hyper-attentive, La Libertad chronicles the stark facts and repetitive actions of Misael’s largely solitary existence: he searches for trees and chops wood, pauses to defecate or eat, prepares and transports the logs for sale, returns to his camp to build a fire and cook his dinner. The title crystallizes a question about this man’s life: is the cyclical daily grind a burden or a kind of freedom? Or does the title refer to Alonso’s conception of an anti-dramatic, materialist cinema, absolutely in-the-moment and liberated from the traditional confines of fiction and documentary? “An account of everyday work that transforms the banal into poetry, maybe even myth,” James Quandt wrote of La Libertad, named one of the top 10 films of the past decade in Cinema Scope magazine. Print courtesy of the Harvard Film Archive.
- Mudar La Vida (Change of Life). Paulo Rocha.
Portugal | Portugue | Format: Digital projection | 90 minutes.
Paulo Rocha's second feature, conceived as a direct response to his mentor Manoel de Oliveira’s Rite of Spring(which Rocha worked on as well), is a masterpiece of “sculpted reality,” using fictional conceits and non-actors cast as themselves to create an ethnographic portrait of Furadouro, a remote Portuguese fishing village. The dramatic premise, about a soldier returning home to a place that has changed in both subtle and obvious ways during his absence, serves as a pretext for Rocha to respectfully examine the specificities of Furadouro's people, their daily routines and rituals, and their evolving relationships with the village’s history.
- Lukas the Strange (Lukas nino). John Torres, Philippines, 2013, DCP, 85m. Tagalog with English subtitles.

- Lukas the Strange (Lukas nino). John Torres, Philippines, 2013, DCP, 85m. Tagalog with English subtitles.
“Lukas, in the middle of the film, the actress will pay a visit. You’ll fall in love with her. And you’ll understand your father. I’ll become your memory. I haven’t shown you the middle yet.” Thus begins John Torres’s latest dream of a documentary, a highly experimental, gloriously free-form coming-of-age story. Shortly after the arrival of a film crew that throws his tiny, usually quiet village into a frenzy of commotion, Lukas’s father, Mang Basilio, announces that he is a tikbalang, the half-horse, half-man of Filipino folklore. When Mang Basilio disappears, the awkward, baffled Lukas sets out on a journey of self-discovery that will include a “river of forgetting,” invisible voices, and a hallucinatory blurring of reality and fantasy. Torres has already carved out an idiosyncratic niche for himself in the thriving world of documentary-fiction hybrids, and this is his most personal and expansive work to date.

- The Second Game. Corneliu Porumboiu, Romania, 2014, DCP, 97m. Romanian with English subtitles.
In 1988, one year before the revolution that toppled Ceaușescu, Corneliu Porumboiu’s father refereed a soccer game between the country’s leading teams as heavy snow fell over the playing field and all of Bucharest. In 2013, father and son watched the original television broadcast of the game, providing their own commentary in real time. The static-heavy analogue video images mix with the grain-like flurries of snow to make this rather ordinary game into something altogether more complex and mysterious, as father and son’s discussion leads to the pondering of alternate events and different outcomes: what if the ball hadn’t hit the crossbar? What if the camera had captured the brief on-field fight? What if the match had taken place a year later? Investigating the slippery middle-ground where personal memory meets historical memory, Corneliu Porumboiu has created an entertaining and disquieting essay on the legacy of the Ceaușescu dictatorship for both Romanian society and his own family.

- Actress. Robert Greene, USA, 2014, DCP, 86m.This thoroughly compelling and at times thoroughly unnerving new film by Robert Greene (Fake It So Real) is a documentary that feels like intimate melodrama. Brandy Burre had a recurring role on HBO’s The Wire when she gave up her career to start a family. After a few years of life in the country, she decides to return to acting, and sets the denouement of her relationship in motion. As she comes apart on camera in varying shades of drama, it’s never clear at what level this film may simply be the next role.

This selection of 10 films from as far afield as Iran, Serbia, Chile, Kazakhstan, and Iraq includes projects developed with seed money from GFI, and represents a concise survey of contemporary filmmaking from areas where local political restrictions and/or economic realities make such expensive and technology-driven endeavors a challenge. Accomplished, entertaining, and thought-provoking, these films are all deeply rooted in the social and political realities of the countries where their talented and resourceful makers live and set their stories.
++ La Vida me mata (Life Kills Me) 2007. Chile. Directed by Sebastián Silva. With Gabriel Díaz, Amparo Noguera, Diego Muñoz.
Life and death come wrapped in a mutual embrace in this absurd, poignant comedy about an unlikely friendship between a morbidly obsessed drifter and a grieving young cinematographer at work on a seriously schlocky low-budget horror film—scenes from which constitute the only color sequences in this intentionally gray-toned homage to melancholy and rebirth. Reveling in a blend of sardonic humor and loving characterization, Silva (The Maid,2009) displays a sure, discerning style in this compassionate vision of frail, unforgettable lives.
++ Sudoeste (Southwest) 2011. Brazil. Directed by Eduardo Nunes. With Simone Spoladore, Raquel Bonfante, Julio Adrião.
On her deathbed, a young woman named Clarice gives birth to a baby girl, also christened Clarice by an attending bruxa (witch). Spirited away to a remote marsh village set on stilts, the infant is replaced that very day by a young girl, also named Clarice. As the other inhabitants of the village experience a day like any other, Clarice lives her whole life in the span of 24 hours—yet (as the film’s vast black-and-white panoramas suggest) even a lifetime so compressed remains impossible to fully grasp or contain.
++ El Fantástico mundo de Juan Orol (The Fantastic World of Juan Orol) 2012. Mexico. Directed by Sebastian del Amo. With Roberto Sosa, Gabriela de la Garza, Roger Cudney.
++ El Fantástico mundo de Juan Orol (The Fantastic World of Juan Orol) 2012. Mexico. Directed by Sebastian del Amo. With Roberto Sosa, Gabriela de la Garza, Roger Cudney.
Move over Ed Wood! Mexico’s half-forgotten B-movie master, “involuntary surrealist” Juan Orol (1897–1988), receives a pitch-perfect tribute in this deft, irresistible love letter to a self-made man of showbiz whose career spanned half a century and nearly 60 films. Abetted by an all-pro cast, Sosa’s brilliant interpretation of Orol’s life exudes a droll underdog charm, and almost every frame is an infectious homage to the golden age of cinema, the wiles of memory, and the art of fantasy.

CHICO & RITA is an epic story of love, passion, and heartbreak. Cuba, 1948. Chico is a young piano player with big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an extraordinary voice. Music and desire unite them as they chase their dreams and each other from Havana to New York to Paris, Hollywood and Las Vegas.

It is also meant to honor some of the cinema’s present-day combatants (Frank Pineda, Florence Jaugey, John Gianvito, Laura Waddington, Florent Marcie, Edouard Beau, Olivier Dury, Paul Cronin…) who are renewing these ideals in different political contexts. “Within oneself, there are also the others” (Jean-Luc Godard, 1997).

Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his
father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial
strains, Armando's younger brother Raúl (Diego Luna) shows up with his
new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodríguez) and pledges to settle all his
father's debt. It seems that Raul's success as an international
businessman means the ranch's troubles are over, but when Armando falls
for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit,
the Alvarez family finds themselves in a full-out war with Mexico's most
feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael García Bernal).

* Miss Bala. De Gerardo Naranjo. México >> En Cartelera > The Angelika.
Esta no es una película con una visión
romántica de México ni mucho menos una oda al narcoterrorismo. Al
contrario, como lo expresa Gerardo Naranjo en el video que pueden ver
debajo, MISS BALA busca presentar de manera más fidedigna lo que está
sucediendo en en país vecino en donde la violencia desatada sobre
ciudadanos indefensos aumenta cada día, ante la incapacidad (o
complicidad) del Estado para protegerlos.
Con largas tomas y sólidas actuaciones,
MISS BALA nos introduce a este mundo sórdido desde el punto de vista de
una jóven, Stephanie Sigman, con sueños de reina de belleza.
* The Artist. De Michel Hazanavici
Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break.
* NEON FLESH. De Pablo Cabezas. España > En Cartelera.
Full of style and wild humor, NEON FLESH is a high-energy crime thriller centered around Ricky and the underground world that he lives in. His prostitute mother, Pura, abandoned him when he was 12. Now a young man, he wants to honor her by opening up a brothel when she is released from prison. For help he enlists a pimp, his junkie girlfriend, and a transsexual who believes that she's royalty, but when he finally picks Mom up from the hospital, he's disappointed to learn that she's underwhelmed with his gift. Worse, the location Ricky chose for the brothel encroaches on ruthless thug El Chino's domain.

* VIDEOTECA DEL SUR >> Cine Latinoamericano >> Videoteca.
MAS ESTRENOS:
* FOOTNOTE > Written and Directed by Joseph Cedar. Best Foreign Language Film Oscar Nominee. Winner of the Best Screenplay Prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival > Opens March 9 .
FOOTNOTE is the story of insane academic competition, the dichotomy between admiration and envy for a role model, and the very complicated relationship between a father and son.
* BLACK BUTTERFLIES. Directed by Paula Van Der Oest > Opens March 2 in NYC.
Poetry, politics, madness and desire collide in the story of the woman hailed as South Africa's Sylvia Plath. In 1960s Cape Town, as Apartheid steals the expressive rights of blacks and whites alike, young Ingrid Jonker (Carice van Houten, “A Game of Thrones”) finds her freedom scrawling verse while frittering through a series of stormy affairs. Amid escalating quarrels with her lovers and her rigid father, a parliament censorship minister (Rutger Hauer), the poet witnesses an unconscionable event that will alter the course of both her artistic and personal lives.

* DETACHMENT. Directed by
Tony Kaye (AMERICAN HISTORY X) >> Out March 16 in NYC > March 23 Los Angeles.
The long-awaited film DETACHMENT stars
Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody as Henry Barthes, a substitute
teacher who conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never
staying anywhere long enough to form a bond with either his students or
colleagues. A lost soul grappling with a troubled past, Henry finds
himself at a public school where an apathetic student body has created a
frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role
model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is
just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he’s not alone in a life and
death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless
world.
Kaye
has molded a contemporary vision of people who become increasingly
distant from others while still feeling the need to connect. DETACHMENT
features a stellar ensemble cast, including Academy Award® winner Marcia
Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, William Petersen, Bryan Cranston, Tim
Blake Nelson, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, James Caan, and newcomers Sami
Gayle and Betty Kaye.

OCTUBRE – WINNER: BEST FEATURE FILM
Clemente, a moneylender of few words, is a new hope for Sofía, his single neighbor devoted to the October worship of Our Lord of the Miracles. They're brought together over a new-born baby, the fruit of Clemente's relationship with a prostitute who's nowhere to be found. While Clemente is looking for the child’s mother, Sofía cares for the baby and looks after the moneylender's house. With the arrival of these beings in his life, Clemente has the opportunity to reconsider his emotional relations with people. Octubre, the first feature film from Peruvian brothers Daniel and Diego Vega, is a deadpan dark comedy incorporating influences ranging from Jim Jarmush and Aki Kaurismaki to Robert Bresson, and winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival-Un Certain Regard.
Director: Daniela and Diego Vega. 83 min.
2010. 35mm.
Peru. In Spanish with English subtitles.

LEAP
YEAR (AÑO BISIESTO) – WINNER:
BEST DIRECTOR, FEATURE FILM
Michael Rowe’s debut feature
film, winner of the Camera d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, tells the
story of Laura, a young journalist living an isolated life in a cramped Mexico City flat who is
not lucky in love. The banality of her daily life stands in stark contrast to
her nightly pursuit of sex and love. These short-lived affairs barely take the
edge off her isolation, but then she meets the brooding, would-be actor Arturo.
Their chemistry ignites feelings in Laura that leave her deeply troubled. The
two embark on an increasingly dangerous sadomasochistic relationship in which
pleasure, pain and love merge. Their physical relationship seems headed for a
very dark place as her secret past resurfaces, pushing Arturo to the limit in
this intense, powerful and at times deeply unsettling movie.
Director: Michael Rowe. 94 min.
2010. 35mm.
Mexico. In Spanish with English subtitles.
Sun, Jan 22.
NOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT – WINNER: BEST DOCUMENTARY
Director: Patricio Guzmán. 90 min.

France/Germany/Chile.

THE TINIEST PLACE (EL LUGAR MÁS PEQUEÑO) – WINNER: BEST FIRST FILM AND BEST DIRECTOR,
DOCUMENTARY FILM
Hailed as “one of the most
impressive debuts by a Mexican filmmaker” by Robert Koehler (Variety), Huezo’s remarkable film
tells the story of Cinquera, a tiny place nestled in the mountains amidst
the humid jungle that was ravaged by the bloody civil war that swept El
Salvador between 1980 and 1992. The powerful and hypnotic documentary depicts a
community that has learned to live with its sorrow, an annihilated town that
re-emerges through the strength and deep love of its inhabitants for the land
and people. With a lyrical eye, Huezo interweaves the simplicity of the
town’s present life with tragic testimonies of the past. The Tiniest Place is ultimately a story of
resilience, hope and the ability of the human being to reinvent himself after
surviving a tragedy.
Director: Tatiana Huezo. 104 min.
2010. 35mm.
Mexico. In Spanish with English subtitles.
