Oldenburg International Film Festival announces first highlights

The Oldenburg International Film Festival takes place from September 16 – 20, 2015.

 

With worldwide entries from more than 70 countries the Festival is looking forward to an exciting and diverse 22nd issue of the event. The official Entry Deadline is coming up on Friday, June 12, by the end of this week.

Besides numerous international discoveries this year’s programming will present the world premiere of “Godless”, a crime drama based on real events, and Germany’s first TV series, that gives complete artistic freedom to its writer director, Thomas Stiller.

 

The first highlights:

 

GODLESS

by Thomas Stiller - Germany 2015

Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Thomas Stiller, “Godless” is a groundbreaking format in German television. With artistic freedom so far unique only to HBO or Netflix, the writer-director has been given complete license to create a crime drama based on real incidents and dares to show what usual crime shows rarely touch upon: the raw and inevitable energy of a conflict that draws the perpetrator and victim into crime. An adaptation of the Dutch format of the same title, “Godless” is produced and developed by Marc Conrad and his company Conradfilm for German broadcaster RTL II. Oldenburg will present the first three episodes, starring the high profile cast of Matthias Köberlin, Jule Ronstedt, and Ralph Herforth. World Premiere.

 

NEXT TIME I’LL AIM FOR THE HEART

by Cedric Anger - France 2014

Based on a true story, writer-director Cedric Anger’s thrilling crime drama has been likened to a French ‘Zodiac’, garnering 2015 César nods for both its director and star, Guillaume Canet, for his performance as a notorious serial killer and cop commissioned to investigate his own murders. Ripped from the headlines, Canet’s character is based on Alain Lamare, a real-life murderer who terrorized the inhabitants of the Oise region of France during a 10-month killing spree in 1978. German Premiere.

 

OBSERVANCE

by Joseph Sims-Dennet - Australia 2015

After his auspicious and award winning debut “Bad Behavior”, Joseph Sims-Dennett returns with a mind-bending journey into the psyche of man. He deftly locates his hero in the politically timely horrors of Snowden paranoia - mirroring Coppola’s “The Conversation”- as his private investigator hired to observe a hunted woman discovers the terrifying shadows observing him. Anchored by its mesmerizing lead actor, rising star Lindsay Farris in a one-man tour de force, ‘Observance’ is an electrifying discovery.  European Premiere.

 

TRAVELATOR

by Dusan Milic - Serbia 2014

When a 19 year-old ace sniper in the video game virtual world is hired by the Serbian mob to do a real life hit job, artificial worlds collide with explosive daring in Dusan Milic’s knockout thriller, “Travelator”. Oscillating between the tough reality of a Serbian refugee camp and the hyper-reality of a dreamlike Las Vegas, where ‘Blade Runner’ meets ‘Taxi Driver’, Milic breaks genre expectations, masterfully portraying the identity crisis of a young man caught in the kaleidoscope of avatars and artifice. As the teen assassin, European Shooting Star Nicola Rakocevic is a revelation. German Premiere.

CRUMBS

by Miguel Llansó – Ethiopia/Spain/Finland 2015

In the debut feature of Spanish writer/director Miguel Llansó, Ethiopia’s first sci-fi feature is also perhaps the most inspired homage to ‘The Wizard of Oz’ of the 21st Century. The pint-size superhero Candy takes us on an epic post-apocalyptic flight into surreal territory in quest of Santa Claus to grant him his hearts greatest wish. With the sci-fi poetic eye of Andrei Tarkovsky and joyful black humor, Llansó’s wasteland wonderland is a feast filled with re-interpreted and re-purposed symbols from the wealth and power obsessed 20th Century. German Premiere.

 

THE STRONGEST MAN

by Kenny Riches - USA 2015

Following its debut at Sundance, critics called Japanese-born writer-director Kenny Riches as “the one to watch”. With his hilarious oddball and irreverent tone, Riches unique style has been described as “Terrence Malick directing Napoleon Dynamite”. Exploring the façade of the American Dream, we ride through the less than glamorous streets of Miami with Beef, an angst driven Cuban-American construction worker with biceps as solid as his gold-painted BMX bike. But when his treasured wheels get stolen, the real ride begins. International Premiere.

 

SUMMERS DOWNSTAIRS

by Tom Sommerlatte - Germany 2015

Nominated for 2014s German Independence Award: Best Short, Tom Sommerlatte returns to Oldenburg with his critically acclaimed debut feature. In this twisted fraternal frolic at the family summerhouse in France, a bullying alpha brother is pitted against his pot-smoking slacker brother, in an upstairs/downstairs pecking order dance with a love triangle. With eleven siblings in real life, including his sister Iris who produced it, Sommerlatte is no stranger to the complexities of family rivalries, and his refreshing spin on a familiar theme is a painfully honest comedic delight.

 

WASTE LAND

by Pieter Van Hees - Belgium 2014

Set in the immigrant underbelly of Brussels, Pieter Van Hees completes his “Love and Pain” Trilogy with this neo-noir thriller. Named after T.S. Elliot’s poem, he weaves analogies to the costly wounds of colonialism and denial. The discovery of a murdered Congolese man sets in motion the investigation of more than a homicide, as its lead detective, grippingly captured by Jérémie Renier, descends on a journey into to the dark savagery of the soul. Having hosted both “Left Bank” and “Dirty Mind”, we welcome Van Hees back with the third chapter of his psychological voyage.

German Premiere.

 

MODEL HUNGER

by Debbie Rochon - USA 2015

Iconic scream-queen cult-star Debbie Rochon returns to Oldenburg with her feature debut as a director. Having starred in over 200 sub-genre films, she’s in familiar territory directing fellow scream-queen idol, Lynn Lowry, in this thought-provoking observation of the meaning of beauty. Slashing the mirror of political correctness, Rochon’s raw style resonates with the unfettered boldness of 70s New Hollywood, as “Mommy Dearest” meets “Rear Window” in a basement of horrors and psychological damage. International Premiere.

Fratmen Fratpad World Wide Tribute (Part 2)

 

The DVD synopsis follows ; “Its deadly. The gossip and the memories. Gone by.  But these videos and songs will not take that away. Due to high volume of requests to what these songs are about an explanation booklet will be published on the blogs soon called ‘Frat Dude Secret Gossip.’ It is those typical things when you live in a very boring suburb thinking nothing is going on but no there is a certain house where 100s of hot fratmen are partying like mad all in secret in Arizona.  The crazy times we have had this is a tribute to those times, songs about more than 60 fratmen just for fun.  Most importantly these songs are non-fiction , they are not random they are about actual people and events all happening  at the fratpad. Well…used too..but it is still there. Once again these fratmen make the USA like the coolest funnest place ever, not a single dull moment.  This is an all men DVD  version which contains music videos that tribute and glorify the hot fratmen all over from the USA because they are just too much fun and you escape reality.  This DVD contains both music videos and some raw behind the scenes footage where the men actually get wild with each other.   A brand new revised audio album version is also out all over   “Fratpad Fratmen (A World Wide Tribute).”  Madonna’s song and music of Vogue was an inspiration for the song ‘The Rise Of Shay in Florida.”

This 2015 edition of the Locarno Summer Academy launches a new section: the Industry Academy, a new training program dedicated to young industry professionals in distribution, sales, marketing, exhibition and programming. This initiative, designed and moderated by Marion Klotz, will be held between 5 and 12 August in close relation with the Industry Days.

Marion Klotz: “We received a large number of applications from many European countries, which is already a relevant sign of interest from the young generation of entrepreneurs for the cinema industry careers. The industry is supportive and truly enthusiastic towards the Industry Academy which is developing, along with all the academies, as a real strength of the Festival.”

The team has selected 11 participants from 10 European countries, representing key-player companies such as Soda Pictures (United Kingdom), Mozinet (Hungary), Praesens-Film (Switzerland) for distribution, as well as New Europe Film Sales (Poland), Doc & Film International (France) and EastWest Filmdistribution (Austria) for International Sales. A young Swiss exhibitor, a German marketing executive, a Spanish VOD distributor and a Belgian observer from Europa Distribution are also part of the delegation. In addition, already exploring the perspective of an international opening, the Industry Academy will welcome this year a Mexican participant from the distribution company ND Mantarraya.

High profile guest speakers have already confirmed their participation such as Matthjis Wouter Knol, director of the EFM-Berlin, Susan Wendt head of Sales at Trust Nordisk and Jon Barrenechea Manager of the british cinema network Picturehouse Cinemas.

The Industry Academy has been developed in close cooperation with Europa International, Europa Distribution and Europa Cinemas, with the support of the Swiss Federal Office of Culture in the context of MEDIA compensatory measures.

The 2015 Industry Academy participants :

  • Emmanuel Pisarra (Doc & Film International, France)
  • Octavia Peyrou (EastWest Filmdistribution Gmbh, Austria)
  • Alice Riva (Spoutnik Cinema, Switzerland)
  • Ajandok Gyenis (Mozinet Ltd, Hungary)

  • Leonardo Cordero (ND Mantarraya, Mexico)

  • Clara Leonet – Observer (Europa Distribution, Belgium)

The Industry Academy is one of the three initiatives of the Locarno Summer Academy coordinated by the Festival, along with the Filmmakers Academy and the Critics Academy. The 36 participants of the three academies have been chosen among 367 applications from 66 countries.

Palm Springs International Shortfest Announces Line-Up For 2015

Festival to Showcase Shorts Directed by Katie Holmes, Bryce Dallas Howard, Tara Fitzgerald and Starring Troian Bellisario, John Cusack, Loretta Devine, Robert Forster, Taissa Farmiga, Patrick Fugit, Janeane Garofalo, Kat Graham, Richard E. Grant, Matt Groening, Jimmy Kimmel, Kate Mara, Rose McGowan, Sandra Oh, Jason Patric, Zachary Quinto, Amber Tamblyn, Danny Trejo, Rufus Wainwright and Kristen Wiig

Palm Springs, CA, June 2015 – It’s time to put on your shorts for the 2015 Palm Springs International ShortFest & Short Film Market. Now in its 21st year, ShortFest will showcase 330 films including 77 World Premieres, 65 North American Premieres and 19 U.S. Premieres. The selection of films for screening and competition features star-studded casts and award-winning films from 51 countries around the world. There are 54 thematically curated programs, which will screen June 16-22, at the Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs. More than 3,000 of the festival submissions are available in the Film Market for industry attendees to view. The complete line-up will be posted on www.psfilmfest.org on June 7 with the online box office launch on June 9.

“The overall quality of the films submitted to us this year was staggering, both in terms of sophisticated filmmaking technique and the diversity of the subject matter and storytelling styles,” said Festival Director Darryl Macdonald. “The difficult part for us was narrowing the 3,500 submissions down to just 330 titles for the final Festival line-up, given the wealth of exceptional work we watched. It’s a testament to the benefits of contemporary film schools and increased access to low cost technological tools that so many emerging filmmakers with a gift for storytelling are now able to parlay those gifts into accomplished, entertaining short films. It makes for one wonderful week of film watching.”

This year’s star-studded shorts feature Academy Award winners and nominees, as well as film and television stars including F. Murray Abraham in the North American Premiere of 411 (USA); Kevin Alejandro in Aden (USA/Taiwan); Kate Mara and Amber Tamblyn in the World Premiere of Almost Not Beautiful (USA); Alex Karpovsky and Troian Bellisario in the World Premiere of Amy (USA); Frankie J. Alvarez in Aphasia (USA); Janeane Garofalo in The Assistant (USA); Sharon Lawrence and Robert Forster in The Bridge Partner (USA); Michael Childers, Rufus Wainwright, Mary Wilson and Loretta Devine in the World Premiere documentary short of Coming Together for One Night Only (USA); Katie Holmes directs Eternal Princess (USA); Zachary Quinto in the U.S. Premiere of The Future Perfect (Canada); Xander Berkeley in the The Gift (UK); Jonathan Demme, Matt Groening, Kevin Pollak and Ed Asner in the documentary short I Thought I Told You To Shut Up! (Canada/USA); Billy Magnussen in A Mighty Nice Man (USA); Ian Harding in the World Premiere of Minimum Wage (USA); Kristen Wiig and Jimmy Kimmel in the World Premiere of Miss Famous (USA) produced by James Franco; Kat Graham stars in Muse (USA); Tara Fitzgerald in her directorial debut for Prick Thy Neighbour (U.K.); John Cusack in the World Premiere of Red Rider (USA); Patrick Fugit and Charlotte Ross in Rita Mahtoubian is Not a Terrorist (USA); Robert Forster in Run Fast (USA); Sandra Oh in the World Premiere of The Scarecrow (USA); Taissa Farmiga in Share (USA) directed by Pippa Bianco; Bryce Dallas Howard directs and stars in solemates (USA); Richard E. Grant narrates Teeth (UK/Hungary/USA); and Jason Patric, Danny Trejo, Rose McGowan and Marisa Coughlan in the World Premiere of The Weight of Blood & Bones (USA).

Throughout the Festival the selected short films are organized into programs covering a variety of genres – including action, comedies, documentaries, dramas, horror stories, thrillers and mysteries– and themes such as altered states, animals, animation, art, couples, crime, culture, dreams, family, games, history, jobs, kids, LGBT, romance, secrets, strangers and road stories.

David Ansen (Writer), Gregg Kilday (Film Editor at The Hollywood Reporter), Steve Greene (Assistant Editor of Indiewire's Criticwire Network), Dan Ireland (Writer/Director/Producer), Roberta Munroe (Writer/Director/Producer) and Kim Waltrip (Independent Film Producer) will serve on the ShortFest jury. Over $115,000 in prizes, including $20,000 in cash awards, will be given out in 21 categories to this year’s short films in competition. The Panavision Best North American Short Award winner will receive a camera package valued at $60,000. First place winners in four categories will automatically become eligible for consideration by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) for a possible Academy Award® nomination. Over the course of 20 years, the Festival has presented 101 films that have gone on to receive Academy Award nominations.

Your trailer in the cinema!

The LET’S CEE Film Festival warmly welcomes all creative filmmakers, video artists and computer freaks to participate in our competition of the creation of this year’s official festival trailer.

Without limitations, everybody who wants to submit to the competition is allowed to do so.

You can win a lot of attention in the form of viewers, since the winning trailer is expected to be screened:

• from August 1, in numerous Cineplexx cinemas in Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia,
• before every movie screening during the festival (in the presence of a number of well-known filmmakers from Austria and abroad),
• on the LET’S CEE homepage,
• on the LET’S CEE YouTube channel,
• on the LET’S CEE Facebook page, and last but not least
• on TV, notably on the Austrian TV channel Okto!

So, whoever participates and wins, can rightfully claim that their cinematic work did not only run on TV but in standard cinema settings as well – and in front of a really large audience. On top of everything, the winner will receive the generous amount of 1500 Euros as prize money, provided by the Austrian leading Community TV channel Okto.

Please note: Everybody can submit and win, not only filmmakers from CEE countries. You should still read through the lines below though since these are the terms and conditions you will agree to with your participation:

http://www.letsceefilmfestival.com/news-detail-en/items/275.html

Deadline for the submission of films is 12 July 2015. Delayed participations and uploads after this date cannot be taken into account.

Film talents, listen up!

Until July 12, 2015, filmmakers up to the age of 35 years from Central and Eastern Europe as well as Austria have the possibility to submit their own films to the Short Film Competition of this year’s LET’S CEE Film Festival. The contributed works need to have a maximum length of 30 minutes.

The topic of the SHORT FILM COMPETITION 2015 is: All You Need Is Love!

We believe this sentence to be not less relevant nowadays than it was, when the Beatles enjoyed great success with their song of the same name in 1967 – quite the contrary. One cannot simply repeat those words often enough. We are talking about love in all forms and shapes. As in the previous years of course, the submitted films will be free examine the theme ‘love’ from all perspectives and angles. Great imagination and resourcefulness will be welcomed and free associations allowed. There are no restrictions regarding the content, except an unmistakably clear relation to the topic.

A board of curators chaired by the renowned film directors of Iranian descent Arash T. Riahi and Arman T. Riahi, who both live in Austria, will subsequently select the ten best films from the submitted material. Later on during the festival from October 1-11, 2015 an international panel of judges will choose the one director to receive the main prize of 1.500 Euros and a Urania statue.

But not only the winning films will benefit, since all top ten filmmakers will be invited to present their work at the LET’S CEE Film Festival in Vienna, where they can watch all films screened in the frame of the festival and participate in various Master Classes for free. An extra incentive will be the opportunity to socialise with other established directors, actors etc. at Get Togethers and to exchange experiences and ideas among each other, which is supposed to especially encourage the launch of new projects and collaborations.

In May 2015, for the decade, AZ PRODUCTIONS & CONCEPT INITIATIVE present OFF DE CANNES, celebrating 10 years of excellence. The OFF de CANNES presents THE RETROSPECTIVE OF TOMORROW’s TALENTS (2005-2015).

The OFF DE CANNES and the International Great Digital Film Contest on the web, created by Anne GOMIS, celebrate the 10th birthday in MAJESTIC, in the place where the history began in May 2005. Since ten years, the glitter twins have discovered more than 3.700 artists and NEW TALENTS of the third millennium. They tell a story ofthe decade with the artists, present in Cannes during the festival, and explains how they make it possible within the most creative competition around avant-garde films in different categories.

When we have a good idea, explains Alain Zirah, it's very important to choose immediatly the good form to express (photography or painting, novel or book, short-film or long feature, drawing or clothes, fugitive in one look or with an atmosphear as a film, a book or a catwalk...). It's the reason why in our festival, we have a lot of multi talents artists. The computer become the instrument who canalize all the texts, music, pictures to make a film. Tommorow, the singers will also direct films and write books."

The brilliant couple remember to the audience how, from May 14 to 25, they organised THE RESURRECTION OF MICHAEL JACKSON in May 2014 with DIMITRI  Jackson Junior and the 35 awards ALAN REEVES in EDEN HOTEL. It was also the place, for the second year, where they judge the Battle JACKSON vs NOUREEV. The auditorium is the place where the russian producer Alfyia CHEBOTAREVA (SVOY POCHERK) introduces the film Rudole NOUREEV rebellious demon, for the first time in France.

The opportunity to present the subject in Russian Pavillion, May 17th, for ROSKINO 90 years and Alain ZIRAH explains, in english, to the russian population why he choose this documentary for OFF DE CANNES to illustrate how the great dancer, as Michael Jackson too, made of its life a struggle for excellence and how the two dancers fought for Peace on The World. 

The ceremony is also dédicated to Nelson MANDELA and The DALAÏ LAMA with The Doves for Peace a symbol developped by Franck KATZ, 2011 OFF de Cannes winner with Michael WINKLER "The GLITTERKING" from Berlin.

The famous tv presenter Patrick LACHAUD make the link between the the two editions in EDEN HOTEL auditorium in 2013 and 2014.

A very beautiful selection of films were presented May 21st and 22nd for the 8th edition with an exceptional jury composed with in the chair Myriam LAMARE, world champion of boxing and 2013 OFF OF CANNES godmother, and the President Max HOWARD (The Lion King) whith Jay SCHINDELL (Iron Man3), Alan REEVES (Kill Bill 2), Laurie GORDON (Canadian producer), Afida TURNER (french American singer), Petteri PASANEM (price of the Cannes Jury), carribean Top Model Féline SABINE and Préity ÜUPALA (Miss India).
