Welcome to IndieCork!

Marcin Lewandowski

It is with some pride and a lot of gratitude that we present theinaugural edition of IndieCork. What can be achieved in six
months? Where to start! IndieCork is the first festival in Ireland
owned by film fans, our shareholders. Inspired by Cork CityFC, we have achieved this goal and our first thanks goes tothe vision of the people who stepped forward and became
members in 2013.
The will to create this festival has been supported from many
quarters - we are hugely grateful to The Other Place and all
the staff there for their friendly welcome as we nestled intheir loft, now IndieCork offices.

Members of the IndieCork team.

As work began, the rationale for an Irish festival ofindependent cinema was soon confirmed by that mostimportant source, the filmmakers. We have world premieresof seven Irish indie feature-length films, a privilege for us.
We host the European Lux Prize, with three superb films.
Groundbreaking Factory 25 founder Matt Grady to Cork andfilmmaker Ronnie Bronstein join us from New York.
Old friends, the irrepressible Hamburg Film Festival and Short
Film Agency, are here with special shows and A Wall Is A
Screen will dazzle you on a filmic walk around Cork (free!).
Right across the local, Irish and International films, the special
screenings, workshops and music events, there is a richprogramme to savour.
We express our deep appreciation to Cliona and Benny
McCabe of Seven Windows Brewery, for their vision andfriendship. Without their support IndieCork would not exist
in this form. We look forward to developing the festival withthem over the coming years. With events programmed acrossthe Cork Heritage Pub family, and film and indie music eventsin The Crane Lane and The Bodega, there are a lot of free andfun opportunities to participate in IndieCork.

A Welcome from IndieCork’s sponsor– Seven Windows Brewery
It always seems that just when times are at their worst thatpeople dig deep and find a rich seam of creativity to mine;
it really is true when they say that when one door closes
another one opens. In our case it’s windows, as Seven
Windows Brewery nails its colours firmly to the mastof IndieCork.
When we open our windows on Cornmarket Street in
Summer 2014, we will be the only 100% Cork-owned brewery
operating in the city center. A few years ago this would
have been unthinkable, yet it’s an unintended but welcome
consequence of globalisation that demand now exists forboth IndieCork and Seven Windows Brewery.
It is our wish that both endeavours take this journey together
and bring the whole spirit of independence back to Cork for
now and in the years to come. We can’t wait to meet all the
future stars.
Best of luck to Úna, Mick and the whole IndieCork team.
Cliona McCabe
Seven Windows Brewery

IndieCork has been created through a strong spirit ofvoluntarism. We salute all who worked hard to create what
we believe is an exciting new festival for Cork. Now it’s overto the audience. Enjoy these five packed days and, should

Opening Film – Gloria
Sebastián Lelio / Chile-Spain / 2013 / 105 minutes
Leading Players: Paulina García, Sergio Hernández, Diego Fontecilla

Wed 16th / 9.00pm
Gate Cinema

A delightfully astute and compassionate delve into the life of a 58 year-old divorcee looking
for company, romance and perhaps even love, director Sebastián Lelio’s engaging, amusing
and oddly uplifting Gloria is a film that will strike a chord with audiences of a certain age. It isdriven by a quite wonderful performance from Paulina García, who should snag best actressawards at every festival the film plays at.
Gloria favours singles parties rather than staying in her small Santiago flat all alone. She meets
ex-naval officer Rudolfo, seven years her senior and newly divorced, and keen to forge out
a new life for himself. She sees the possibly of a loving and possibly permanent relationship,
but despite Rudolfo’s enthusiasm the spectre of his ex-wife and two grown-up daughtersinterrupts their romance.
Preferring large glasses and old songs Gloria is a woman caught in a cycle of booze andfractured family relationships. She adores her grown-up son and daughter, they seem likea vision of family perfection compared to Rudolfo’s family situation – his wife and adult
daughters all live together, don’t work and rely on his for money, advice and affection at any
time day and night.
The film touches on the current political situation in Chile, but at its core this is essentially justone woman’s story. Paulina García is quite wonderful in the role, and there are moments ofreal humour and pathos as her sense of inner-strength finally wins through.

Closing Film – The Broken Circle Breakdown

Felix Van Groeningen / Belgium / 2012 / 111 minutes
Leading Players: Veerle Baetens, Johan Heldenbergh, Nell Cattrysse

An immaculately observed, moving story of love, loss, and bluegrass music. While Felix vonGroeningen’s film, could easily have strayed into maudlin territory, the deft, non-chronologicalstructure and the constantly surprising, beautiful performances - both acting and the musical elevate it well clear of any Movie of the Week associations.
Elise is a tattoo artist into whose store, one day, strolls Didier, a sort of Flemish cowboy whoplays in a bluegrass band. They fall in love, marry and Elise joins the band before discovering
she is pregnant. After a brief rocky period, Didier comes to terms with imminent fatherhood,and Maybelle is born.
And of course, there’s the music. The original bluegrass songs, composed by Bjorn Eriksson,
are by turns haunting and jaunty. But whether it’s a ballad of loss and sadness or a morehonky-tonk tongue-in-cheek barnstomper, the two actors, find a harmony that adds further
layers to our understanding of their relationship. Really, we fall in love with them a bit.

Angie Corbett returns to her hometown in Tipperary aftergetting a teaching job at her old secondary school. Whileback home, Angie struggles to readjust to the life she thought
she had left behind and at the same time, try to figure out
what the next step in her life should be.

The film follows the deterioration of a relationship told
through the eyes of a man whose brain has been curdledby isolation. So desperate for companionship the man plays
out a relationship between himself and a woman that he has
killed but it isn’t long before the corpse begins to deteriorate
and the relationship follows suit. As the world the man
has built around himself begins to spiral out of control, he
watches helplessly as it unravels the grim reality and thedevastating truth of what he has done and what he must do...

Ronald Bronstein / 2008 / 107 mins

Alex Ross Perry / 2012 / USA / 83 mins

First-time director Ronald Bronstein describes his
extraordinary film as “a rotten egg lobbed with spazmo aim
at the spotless surface of the silver screen.” Be forewarned:
audience response has been intensely divided. Above all else,
Frownland is a pitch-black character study of Keith Sontag(Dore Mann), a neurotic, manipulative, stridently unlovable
New Yorker whose pitiless roommate aptly describes him, tohis face, as “a burbling troll in his underwear.” With the mostbasic elements of human communication a struggle, Keithlurches his way through an uncaring city, attempting to aid
a suicidal friend, evict his unctuous roommate, and simply
attain some measure of self-respect. An apoplectic seizure ofblind rage, sorrow and bleating humor... Frownland.

The Color Wheel is the story of JR, an increasingly transient
aspiring news-anchor, as she forces her disappointing
younger brother Colin to embark on a road trip to move her
belongings out of her professor-turned-lover’s apartment.
Traveling through fog-shrouded highways of New England,
uncomfortably running into old school-mates, revisiting
shared familial history from which they have long since
diverged, chaos and calamity are not far behind their beat up
Honda Accord.
“Sly, daring, genuinely original and at times perversely
brilliant.” - A.O. Scott, The New York Times“This is personal cinema at its most uncompromisingand fierce.”- Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

Annie is a rebellious ten-year-old girl. She lives on theoutskirts of town with her father Marvin, who, when notherding goats, mostly sleeps the day away. Virtually devoidof parental guidance, Annie is left to fend for herself anddo as she pleases. With no moral compass, she roams theneighboring lands, shoplifting and engaging in generaldestructive behavior. Her routine is broken one day while
playing in the woods; she hears an old woman calling fromdeep within an abandoned well, asking for help. Scared anduntrusting of the unseen stranger, Annie deliberates on her
course of action.
“Backwoods weirdness with a pop-art sensibility.”- Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily

Eddie (Kentucker Audley) bumbles his way through anagonizing courtship with Irene (Eleonore Hendricks), a
manipulating drifter who videotapes their fleeting moments
together. To express his true feelings for her, he painstakingly
orchestrates his debut stand-up performance at the local
comedy club.
Here is a portrait of two lonely trains passing each other byon the emotional railroad tracks of a forgotten city.

The Selfish Giant
Clio Barnard / England / 2013 / 91 minutes

Sat 19th / 9.00pm
Gate Cinema

The Selfish Giant is a brilliant and soul-scouring fable about scrap men and scrap children;
two outcast generations doomed to forever sift through life’s rubbish dump.The title isborrowed from a fairy tale by Oscar Wilde, in which a bad-tempered ogre chases children outof his walled garden, only for it to become locked in an eternal winter. Arbor and Swifty, two
13-year-old boys from Bradford whose dire circumstances have effectively banished themfrom their own childhoods. The film is about them both trying to somehow scrabble backinto that lost state of grace. So hauntingly perfect is Barnard’s film, and so skin-pricklingly alive
does it make you feel to watch it, that at first you can hardly believe the sum of what you haveseen: the astonishingly strong performances from her two young, untutored leads; Barnard’s
layered script; Mike Eley’s snow-crisp cinematography that makes the streets of Bradfordshine. Barnard is working in a more straightforward social-realist style, but like Ken Loach’s Kes,
the film knells with myth: we get a keen sense of an older, purer England buried somewhere
underneath all this junk, from the early wide shots of horses in meadows, idling belly-deep inmorning mist, to the extraordinary, almost wordless final sequence that hints at redemption
and reincarnation. The Selfish Giant is cinema that tells an unsure nation who we are.

Felix Van Groeningen / Belgium / 2012 / 111 minutes

Dr.Death takes the form of an attractive young woman in Miele, an impressively mature
directing debut from Italian actress Valeria Golino, who crafts an often engrossing characterstudy around an assisted suicide activist. The real film, however, is about Irene’s progressive
de-humanisation and alienation from other people, including her married lover who arranges
trysts in the family station wagon complete with a baby seat. Golina show strong sensitivity
towards Irene’s inner battle between her convictions and her private life.

Elise is a tattoo artist into whose store, one day, strolls Didier, a sort of Flemish cowboy whoplays in a bluegrass band.They fall in love, marry and Elise joins the band before discovering
she is pregnant. After a brief rocky period, Didier comes to terms with imminent fatherhood,and Maybelle is born.

When Taryn, a Northern Irish runaway, finds herself in trouble in Ocean City, she seeks refuge
with her musician aunt and uncle in Baltimore. But Kim and Bill have problems of their own:
they’re trying to handle the end of their marriage gracefully.A story of family revelations,people finding each other and letting each other go, looking for love where they’ve found it
before and, when that doesn’t work, figuring out where they might find it next.
“Porterfield is the modern master of allowing dialogue and scenes to breathe naturally, thus
sharing an unmistakable kinship with Éric Rohmer and John Cassavetes. Porterfield’s uniquebrand of extraordinarily realistic films also features rich, visually poetic qualities. I Used To Be
Darker seems especially unique in its use of music. As if directing a lo-fi musical, Porterfield
allows Kim and Bill to vocalize their emotions. Their song lyrics permit them to recite
expository dialogue but in a completely natural manner; because it makes perfect sense that,as musicians, they would express their feelings about their current situation in song. The music
is damn good too.”

Gate Cinema

Eliza Hittman / 2013 / USA / 82 minutes

Michael Higgins / Ireland / 2013 / 64 minutes
Producer: Ciara Gillan, D.O.P.: Luca Rocchini, Writers: Daniel Bevan, Michael Higgins, Editor: Rory Iguana,

During an uneventful summer in Brooklyn, lonely Lila develops an unhealthy fixation on an older
thug. Deluded and awkward in her romantic pursuit, she soon finds herself in a dangerously
vulnerable situation. Director Hittman portrays her young protagonist with an unerring intensity
and artistry - her yearning and search for self-definition and love, through all the small details.
Debuting in Sundance this year, It Felt Like Love is one of the special films of 2013.
“With “It Felt Like Love”, I wanted to show outtakes from childhood: the lonely moments, thesurges of false confidence, and small humiliating details that are often buried in our memories.”
Eliza Hittman

Composer: Brian Conniffe Leading Players: Adam Carolan, Ryan Ward, Naoimi Morgan, Shane Thornton

smolt n. Young salmon migrating to sea for first time.
In the style of a bootleg VHS, Smolt is unique intimate portrayal of an eventful few days in the
lives of Darren and Leon, two Irish kids who generally have to fend for themselves. One day
while selling second-hand cigarettes, the boys run into some trouble with a girl, a gun, and ashipment of counterfeit football jerseys.
Twisting from cinema vérité to improvisation to pre-scripted lines Smolt offers an intimate
visceral slice-of-life of two kids in their concrete playground that is Dublin City.

“It Felt Like Love is bolstered by a wonderful lead performance by Gina Piersanti, and while it isvery much a “small” and intimate “personal” film, there is much to hang onto and identify withboth for both a younger audience that would be Lila’s peers as well as any girl that grew up,ever”. - Film Comment

Shirley - Visions of Reality

Metro Manila

Fri 18th / 2.00pm

Thur 17th / 9.00pm

TriskelGate Cinema

Gustav Deutsch / Austria / 2013 / 93 minutes

Sean Ellis / England / 2013 / 115 minutes

A series of snapshots from the life of a fictional actress named Shirley serves to weave together
thirteen paintings by Edward Hopper (e.g. “Office at Night”, “Western Motel”, “Usherette”, “A
Woman in the Sun”) into a fascinating synthesis of painting and film, personal and political
history. Each station in Shirley’s professional and private life from the 1930s to 1960s is
precisely dated: It is always August 28/29 of the year in question, as the locations vary from
Paris to New York to Cape Cod. Shirley is a liberated woman who questions conventional
relationship roles and reflects on the role of theatre and politics. Her thoughts are conveyed
through internal monologues delivered in voiceover. Furthermore, every episode begins withfragments from radio news reports, which place Shirley’s personal story in relation to key
events from American history over the decades (the Great Depression, the Second World
War, McCarthyism, the Kennedy era, and the Civil Rights movement). A supremely elegant“animation” of a most unusual kind, which, in moving from single images to film, takes
advantage of the seemingly inherent cinematic and narrative qualities of Hopper’s paintings.

Oscar is a cash-strapped Filipino farmer with a loving wife Mai and children. Seeking a better
life for his family, he moves to Manila. Desperate for money for food, Mai takes a job as anightclub dancer. Oscar finds a job as an armoured security courier, where he’s taken under
the wing of friendly colleague. It’s a dangerous job, with the risk of injury or even death from
Manila’s criminal elements. Oscar then begins to see a way out of both the poverty trap andManila. Director Ellis found inspiration in the vibrant and colourful city of Manila, revealing it in
all it’s Eastern beauty amidst a brilliantly written portrait of a man struggling to better himself
and protect his family.

A Messenger From The ShadowsNorbert Pfaffenbichler / Austria / 2013 / 60 minutes

A one-person piece for the “man with a thousand faces.” Silent horror film icon Lon Chaney
was the son of deaf-mute parents, and thus, already as a child, perfected pantomime. He rose
to fame as a master of disguise with a penchant for grotesque appearances and torturous
contortions. The director has remounted the forty-six preserved films of the two hundred that
Chaney made into a tribute in A Messenger From The Shadows. A tribute to Chaney’s art, tothe uncanny power of the horror film, and to the paradoxical enchantment of cinema. Without
a direct narrative, the film reimagines the multitude of characters he played and turns theminto a singular piece of work, silent , apart from Bernd Lang’s soundtrack, a man roaming from
one nightmarish vision to another.

A Gesar Bard’s Tale
Donagh Coleman and Lharigtso / Ireland, Finland / 2013 / 82 minutes

As a boy, Dawa was an illiterate Tibetan nomad, whose life revolved around herding yaks. At 13
his life changed. Through a series of visions, Dawa got the gift of telling Tibet’s King Gesar epic
story. Thousands of verses of the world’s longest epic started pouring out of the nomad boy,
who became a famous Gesar bard.
Now, at 35, Dawa receives a salary from the Chinese Government as a guardian of national
cultural heritage, and is regarded as a holy man by his community. Apart from his incredible
gift, he is like any other 30-something, interested in cars, music and a comfortable family life in
his newly built house.

Then, a devastating earthquake hits Dawa’s hometown Gyegu. With the old Tibetan town
reduced to rubble, Chinese redevelopment of the region takes a giant leap forward. In the
midst of such seismic shifts, Dawa seeks healing from King Gesar and other divine protectorsof the land.

The Diaries of an ElephantJanina Pigaht / 2012 / The Netherlands / 55 minutes

Janina Pigaht knew her grandfather as a loving man. She has vivid memories of them singing
German songs and reading stories together. After he passed away eight years ago, she started
reading old diaries and searching through his belongings, looking for stories to keep his
memory alive. But then she discovered a shocking truth: her grandfather was a loyal memberof the SS during the Second World War. Using his diaries as a guide, she travels to the places
he visited during the war and asks her family all the questions that no one else ever asked. The
film shows what happens to family relationships when a part of the past is kept quiet, and how
people interpret history in their own way. But she carries on regardless, because of her strong
need to break the silence and address the proverbial elephant in the room.

Electro Moscow
Elena Tikhonova and Dominik Spritzendorfer / Austria / 2013 / 89 minutes

Electro Moscow is an essayistic documentary about the Soviet electronic age and its legacy.
The story begins with the inventor of the world’s first electronic instrument, Leon Theremin,
unveiling the KGB’s huge pile of fascinating devices, some of which were musical. They
all came into existence as a by-product of a rampant defence industry. Nowadays, those
aged and abandoned ‘musical coffins’, as solidly made as a Kalashnikov, are being recycled
and reinterpreted by the post-Soviet generations of musicians, sound collectors and circuit
benders. The story of the Soviet synthesizers as an allegory to the everyday life under theSoviet system: nothing works, but you have to make the best out of it. An electronic fairy tale
about the inventive spirit of the free mind inside the iron curtain- and beyond.

Muscle Shoals
Greg ‘Freddy’ Camalier / USA / 2013 / 111 minutes

Located alongside the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the unlikely breeding
ground for some of America’s most creative and defiant music. Under the spiritual influence ofthe ‘Singing River’ as Native Americans called it, the music of Muscle Shoals changed the worldand sold millions upon millions of copies. At its heart is Rick Hall who founded FAME Studios.
Overcoming crushing poverty and staggering tragedies, he brought black and white together
in Alabama’s cauldron of racial hostility to create music for the generations while giving birth
to the ‘Muscle Shoals Sound’ and ‘The Swampers’. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge,
Gregg Allman, Clarence Carter, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Bono, and others bear witness to
Muscle Shoals’ magnetism, mystery, and why it remains influential today.

Paul Duane and David Cairns / Ireland / 2013 / 66 minutes

Donnacha Ó Briain / 2013 / Ireland / 125 minutes

Bernard Natan could be described as one of the fathers of French cinema.
How did he come to be completely forgotten, especially so in France?
How is it that what little attention is paid to him centres on his alleged career
as a pioneer and performer in early gay and BDSM porn? Why was Bernard
Natan’s name erased from the history of cinema, despite the fact that hedominated the French film industry for much of the ‘20s and ‘30s? David
Cairns and Paul Duane have excavated an extraordinary tale that aims torewrite the history of European cinema. Rumours have swarmed aroundhis story for decades but this documentary finally brings the truth to light.

Since 2008 Ireland has become a by-word internationally for political passivity andresignation. However, despite widespread public quiescence, small groups have attempted
to mobilize their fellow citizens against the policies of bank bailouts and austerity.This feature
documentary, filmed over 12 months by award-winning film maker Donnacha Ó Briain,
chronicles the experiences of some of this small minority – those who took a stand during
one of the most momentous periods in Ireland’s history.
From the community-based Spectacle of Defiance & Hope, from the experimental street
politics of Occupy at the Irish Central Bank to the efforts by debt justice activists to jam thegovernment media spin around an Anglo debt deal and the remarkable story of the people of
Ballyhea in North Cork who started a weekly march against the bondholder bailouts in March
2011, this landmark documentary charts with immediacy and directness the realities andfrustrations of those who tried to build a social movement against debt & austerity during an
age of political indifference and passivity.

“I just saw NATAN and loved it. It is a very moving, well researched,thoughtful documentary, a destruction, a well documented refutation of all
those lies and rumors which invaded so many books..”- Bertrand Tavernier

Vladimir Ivanov / 2013 / 101 minutes

It is 8 years since the Russian LGBT community made attempts toarrange for a Gay Pride parade in Moscow. All public LGBT actions have been banned by theauthorities. Not a single action has been authorized throughout these years. On 21 October
2010, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Moscow Gay Pride bans were illegal.
It was the first case on violation of the right to freedom of assembly as well as the first case on
violation of LGBT rights in Russia. New homophobic laws banning gay propaganda to minors
were passed in several Russian regions. How is the gay revolution made in Russia? And who
stands behind it? A fascinating and timely documentary.

Exit Point
Jagoda Szelc / Poland / 2012 / 17 minutes

Sat 19th / 12.00pm
Gate Cinema
John Pilger, Alan Lowery / United Kingdom / 2013

The film’s character has an unusual passion. He is ready to sacrifice a lot for it, including his
own life. Exit Point is a film about decision making; in order to be free one must sometimes
follow one’s nature. What’s the price of being free and is freedom indeed worth the biggest
sacrifice? The filmmaker carves an eloquent and elliptical look at the central character, neverover-defining, and always leaving the door open.

This screening is the Irish Premiere of Utopia, an epic production by the Emmy and Bafta
winning film-maker and journalist John Pilger.

Print source: katarzyna.wilk@kff.com.pl

Utopia is a vast region in northern Australia and home to the oldest human presence on earth.
‘This film is a journey into that secret country,’ says Pilger in Utopia. ‘It will describe not only
the uniqueness of the first Australians, but their trail of tears and betrayal and resistance –from one utopia to another’. Pilger begins his journey in Sydney, where he grew up, and in
Canberra, the nation’s capital, where the national parliament rises in an affluent suburb called
Barton, recently awarded the title of Australia’s most advantaged community.

When I Stop Looking

Renowned journalist John Pilger calls the conditions faced by Australian Aboriginal people
as Australia’s “dirtiest little secret”, his film is an epic portrayal of the oldest continuous humanculture and an investigation into the conditions they live in now.

“John Pilger unearths, with steely attention to facts, the filthy truth and tells it as it is”– Harold Pinter.
“Pilger’s work has truly been a beacon of light in dark times” – Noam Chomsky.

Todd Herman / USA / 2013 / 15 mins / no dialogue

Going beyond the imprint of appearances, When I Stop Looking invokes the intensely private
worlds of those portrayed, each of whom lives with significant facial and cranial conditions.
A vivid affirmation of existence comes forward before anything else. Todd Herman is a visual
artist living in San Francisco, California. His films and photographs often look to the rare beautyand disregarded mystery of everyday life.
“Some viewers mention feeling an uncomfortable sense of complicity after viewing When I
Stop Looking. I work with this edge often, opening up areas for viewers to critique both theway an image is being presented as well as their roles as spectators. Viewers are invited to“enter into” the emotional tone(s) of the film while backing into an encounter with the sourcesof their own discomfort or empathy”.

Gypsy Eyes (Rhoma Acans)
Leonor Teles / Portugal / 2013 / 14 mins

Far from being an ethnographic record, Gypsy Eyes questions
what family is, what tradition is and how they both approachor depart. The director looks at her own family’s history
and its relation to the weight of gypsy tradition, to which
they once belonged. This journey of self-discovery meets
Joaquina, a young girl immersed in the Gypsy community
who is a counterpoint to the experience of the director,
helping her to understand what has been modified, what
remains and what still needs to change after successive
generations of strong female characters.

Rats are glorious deserters and we must admire them. Rats
don’t want to be captains trying to keep the cause afloat.
But swim on open water.
Lyrically poignant yet contained, ‘Like rats leaving asinking ship’ is an intimate piece that combines personal
subjectivity with the clinical objectivity of medical reports,
challenging the very notions of these categories.The film
is partly based on the author’s psychiatric assessments
diagnosing her with ‘Gender Identity Disorder’, in accordancewith the International Classification of Diseases. Alongwith the discourse of the legally mandatory documents
for transgendered people, are her own personal writings
that reflect upon the nature of memory - the presentinterpretation of the past- and question the possibility of
any coherent biographic or filmic narrative. As evocative
images inconspicuously blend with found family footage, amultilayered reality emerges in which the distinction between
what is true or false becomes unimportant and obsolete.
Although in line with topics such as general assumptions ofgender, or ‘popular knowledge’ of transgender people, ‘Like
Rats Leaving a Sinking Ship’ is, in fact, a deep reflection on
the relation of ‘abnormal individuals’ to authority apparatuses
such as state, law and psychiatry.

Telemach Wiesinger / Germany / 2013 / 65 minutes

Sparlo“Telemach Wiesinger’s debut long-form work takes a fresh
approach to the cinematic travelogue, and, more generally,
the documentary form. Heavily influenced by the aesthetics
of early cinema, Wiesinger playfully revels in, and constantly
foregrounds, the creative potential of the moving image totransform and reinvent the outside world. There is barely
a moment in the film where reality isn’t in some way
manipulated by fast, slow or reverse motion, superimposition,or the visible traces of optical printing. Life is somehow
always out of synch with our everyday experience of it.
Wiesinger is, in fact, part of a wave of filmmakers exploring
the still untapped potential of analogue film – finding new
ways of using what many now consider ‘old’ media. It is in
this fusion of the old and the new, both technological andaesthetic, that Wiesinger’s work offers a truly unique form of‘documentary’ filmmaking”

the mirrored protagonists once again have no chance of escape. We

Behind the Journey

Jonas Meier, Mike Raths / Switzerland / 2013 / 5 minutes

Yoon Duck Kim / England/ 2013 / 3 minutes

Animals possessed by humanity are alienated from their natural form.
Behavioural patterns of once archaic animal species forced their way
into predictable forms via human strains, taming the wild, isolating
the animals. Animal and humans draw ever closer, sharing a common
nature. But appearances are deceiving.

The First Great Western Train is one of the UK’s biggest railway
services that makes our every day journeys possible. The hard working
people there work late into the night to prepare the trains for the next
day’s service.

On the eve of departing overseas Ellen makes the fateful decision to
give her boyfriend to another girl, but can she really give him up?

Coni (Conrado Molina) hardly ever sleeps. a wagon pusher at a parcel
service by day, musician by night, and a single father caring for athree-year-old daughter in between.

WE ARE POETS presents a moving and radical story of youth, art and freedom of expression,
as a remarkable team of six British teenagers are chosen to represent the UK at Brave New
Voices: the most prestigious Poetry Slam competition in the world. From their inner city lives
on the red bricked backstreets of Northern England, to a stage in front of the White House in
Washington DC, the young poets explosively lay bare the concerns of a generation as theytake on the world and prepare for a transformational and emotional journey of a lifetime.
“Amazing...it’s poetry itself. This is the film that people in power should listen to. Poetry is an art,
filmmaking is an art, it takes great sensitivity to bring them together — this shows us how it’sdone!” - BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH
