41ST INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ROTTERDAM #5 MONDAY 30 JANUARY 2012

EYE on the futureAs the EYE Film Institute Netherlands moves into its magnifi cent new home by the river, the economic forecast is choppy. Geoffrey Macnab reports

The spaceship has fi nally landed. In April, EYE Film Institute Netherlands will fi nally move into the new modernist building that has just been built by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects of Vienna. It’s a spectacu-lar creation, sitting besideAmsterdam’s IJ river, that looks from afar like a white geometric low-heeled sling-back shoe – or the latest Martian intergalactic cruiser.

Extreme makeover“For us, it is the symbol of our extreme makeover,” Sandra den Hamer, Director of EYE, declares. “We’ve been working on a new identity with a much broader palette of activities. It gives us the possibility of present-ing our collection, our tasks, our activities to a wider audience. Finally, we are getting there!”EYE’s new home has four cinemas and a huge exhibi-tion space. Inside Cinema No. 1, seating 315 people, is a restored organ that will provide accompaniment to screenings of silent movies. Another of the cinemas, called the ‘Black Box’, will showcase experimental work (for example, the kind of cinema represented by Rotter-dam favourite Peter Kubelka). It can be safely predicted that other fi lm institutes, museums and cinematheques around the world will be casting envious glances at EYE’s magnifi cent new premises.When the building fi nally opens (on April 5th), the pace inside promises to be frantic. “We want to show imme-diately who we are”, Den Hamer declares. A Stanley Kubrick exhibition and a Martin Scorsese retrospec-tive will be among the fi rst offerings. Audiences will be able to savour pristine new restorations of such fi lms as Spanish Dancer (1923), starring Pola Negri, and Paul Verhoeven’s (once controversial) 1980 fi lm, Spetters. Meanwhile, head of exhibitions Jaap Guldemond is planning an exhibition dedicated to ‘Found Footage’. “From the very fi rst day, we want to show that the EYE

building is not just a museum. We will show some of the masterpieces already made with found footage – for example, by Bruce Conner or Douglas Gordon – but we have also invited fi lmmakers to make new work based on fragments of fi lms from our collections”, Den Hamer notes of the exhibition.

Dual functionThe new building has a dual function. On the one hand, it’s an exhibition space and a cinema. On the other, it’s also a workplace. When EYE came into being in January 2010, it brought together four fi lm organisations: Holland Film, the Nederlands Instituut voor Filmedu-catie, the Filmbank and the Filmmuseum. That’s a lot of expertise – and a lot of staff. Those working within the new building will ‘hot desk’ (multiple workers will use the same work stations).Having moved into one building, EYE is already at work building another. In December, EYE signed a contract to start developing a ‘Depot’ in North Amster-dam, which should be ready in around 18 months. This will house the restoration team, the researchers and those in charge of digitization.

DistributionFor all the optimism about the opening of EYE’s new home, the institute has not emerged entirely unscathed from the recent public spending cuts in the Nether-lands. One of the most worrying developments, given the problems facing the arthouse sector in the Nether-lands, is that EYE has been obliged to withdraw from distribution. In recent years, EYE’s distribution arm played a crucial role in showcasing arthouse cinema to Dutch audiences, picking up titles from IFFR and other major festivals that other Dutch distributors weren’t prepared to give a chance (for example, Bela Tarr’s The Turin Horse and Bouli Lanners’ Les Géants). “We will stop distribution of arthouse titles,” confi rms Den Hamer. “For years, we have been criticized by the Arts Council because we were a subsidized organization and EYE acquiring fi lms was seen as unfair competition.”

Den Hamer refutes accusations that EYE Distribution was distorting the marketplace, pointing out that EYE only “bought the fi lms when nobody else was picking them up.” EYE will now stop buying fi lms for distri-bution. However, the organization is still allowed to acquire new fi lms for its collection. “We still collect the highlights of international cinema, classical and contemporary,” Den Hamer states. “We will buy the fi lm so we can show it in-house… I think in a few years’ time, people will say ‘can you also buy the distribution rights again’ because now the screenings are restricted to Amsterdam.”

DigitizationEYE’s head of acquisitions, Rene Wolf, will be retained, but in a slightly different role. “Rene always had a double job. He was doing distribution but also programming the two cinemas in the Vondel Park (EYE’s former home). Now, with four cinemas, we badly need him to programme.”The new EYE building is the only cinema in the area of North Amsterdam where it is situated. One of its other functions will be to show arthouse fi lms from other distributors. As Den Hamer acknowledges, these are tough times for arthouse distribution in the Nether-lands. While Dutch fi lms have grabbed an increasing share of their own market and audience fi gures are up, arthouse fi lms are in danger of being left behind. “We will monitor that very closely,” Den Hamer says. “We have been heavily involved in the digitization of all the cinemas in the Netherlands. We’ve been digitizing our own collection and, with the Dutch Exhibitors and Distributors, we founded this national platform called Cinema Digitaal, which has a contract with (digital cinema provider) Arts Alliance.” The aim is to have all the screens in the Netherlands digitized within two years. Even so, there isn’t as yet any evidence that audi-ences are being given more choice. Den Hamer says EYE is committed to ensuring that “not only the commer-cial parties” can digitize, but also the arthouses.“We want to make sure that the arthouse, the Dutch

cinema, the documentaries, animation and experi-mental programmes will all have a place in the new digital era”, Den Hamer says. “We will monitor that very closely… if it is not working, we will have to take some action.”

Strange daysEYE operates on a budget of around €13 million. That may seem generous given the chilly economic climate. However, the organization is obliged to make some cuts as it prepares for the 2013-2016 funding round. That means EYE won’t always be able to embark on ambi-tious restoration projects of big international fi lms like Nick Ray’s We Can’t Go Home Again (which premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival).“The future for everyone here in the Netherlands is uncertain. We have to reduce our budget by 10%,” Den Hamer notes. “Some of the budgets you can’t reduce because you still have to pay the rent. That means prob-ably a reduction in the budget of 15% for activities and personnel.”Den Hamer acknowledges these are strange times for EYE. On the one hand, it’s at the start of an exciting and expansive new era in its state of the art home. On the other, it is obliged to trim. Even so, there’s no disguis-ing the excitement that EYE staff feel as they prepare to move house… and there are only 65 days left until take off!

The Binger Lab’s Gamila Ylstra speaks to Nick Cunningham about the Boost! Pro-gramme, launched at CineMart 2012

A year ago Binger formed a triumvirate with CineMart and the Hubert Bals Fund (HBF) to offer extra development support – or an extra boost – to fi ve projects selected for HBF funding. The projects were subsequently given the full bespoke Binger on Demand coaching and development service before their presentation to the market this week during CineMart.The projects are Dijn (Hawa Essuman, Kenya); The Midfi elder (El 5 de tallers) by Adrian Biniez (Uruguay/Argentina/Germany); Humidity (Vlaznost vazduha) by Nikola Ljuca (Serbia/Germany); The Sand Dollars (Los doláres de arena) by Laura Amelia Guzmán and Israel Cárdenas (Dominican Republic/Mexico/France) and Jomo by Kivu Ruhorahoza (Rwanda/Australia).“It is quite a simple concept, to join forces for the benefi t of these projects, and it has all worked out very well,” Ylstra comments. “We are very confi dent that this is a good concept and we want to extend it into the future. We really try to join forces and integrate our efforts working around these fi lmmakers because what we share is a similar artistic view of fi lmmak-ing.” Argentinean director Adrian Biniez (Gigante,

Silver Bear Berlinale 2009) and producer Fernando Epstein comment on the experience between Cine-Mart meetings. Their football-themed project The Midfi elder has already attracted co-production part-ners from Uruguay, Germany and the Netherlands. “The Binger sessions were a great experience because we worked with a very good script doctor who gave

us a lot of tips on how to develop the script,” says director Biniez. “It was a new experience. It really reinforced our project.”Epstein confi rmed that the project is set to shoot in September and that he is seeking French interest this week. “Basically, we are looking for gap fi nanc-ing. The Midfi elder doesn’t depend on CineMart, but we want to shoot it in a better manner and wholly fi nance the movie from the start. I think we will achieve that here. But the most important thing is that we are going to receive a fresh overview of the industry today. It’s not only this project we are think-ing of, but also the future – this is an incredible place to think about everything.”Ylstra returned to the conversation with an appro-priate footballing analogy. “This has been about picking the right talent and getting the projects at the optimum stage, and I think we found the ones that could benefi t most from our programme. Boost! is a very good initiative. As we say in Holland, it is like scoring an open goal.”

He shoots, he scores

Yesterday during the Art:Film panel in de Doelen, luminaries from the art and independent fi lm worlds discussed the increasing collaboration between the two disciplines from fi nance, produc-tion and exhibition perspectives. Artist Nicolas Provost, whose debut feature The Invader screens in Bright Future, explained how his approach to his fi lm was initially “conventional, knowing that even-tually it would not be.” Artist/fi lmmaker Wilhelm Sasnal expressed discomfort at the potential constraints that being fi nanced with public money may impose. “We want to do our own stuff,” he stated. “We couldn’t do it with public money. That’s why we try to stay independent.”Producer Simon Field (Illuminations Films) noted the increased interest of his experimental fi lmmak-ers in the opportunities offered by the art world. “The art world helps the visionary fi lmmakers who have been marginalised by the fi lm industry. These fi lmmakers are looking over their shoulders for new support. And likewise, producers like us are looking over our shoulders towards them.”While Tate Modern fi lm curator Stuart Comer felt that there is a huge potential audience for experi-mental fi lm, both in cinemas and within museum spaces, MACBA’s Bartomeu Mari reminded the panel (and audience) of established lines of demar-cation. “We have to be aware of the traditional gallery model,” he stressed. “It is corridors with paintings, and sometimes within that space you will see a sculpture. When you (apply) expanded cinema, that world is broken. It is no longer just visual. It is aural and it has its own choreography. If it cannot compliment the existing model, then this experiment will be a mere anecdote.” (NC)

CONCRETE PLANSPirjo Honkasalo, Finland’s most re-vered documentary maker, is to make a return to dramatic features, Geoffrey Macnab reports

Here in Rotterdam, producer Mark Lwoff of Helsinki-based Bufo Films, has revealed details of Honkasalo’s new project, Concrete Night. The €1.5 million drama is based on Pirkko Sassio’s hard-hitting 1981 novel Concrete Night, a Helsinki-set drama about two brothers that deals with social exclusion, family tension and violence. The screenplay is now complete. The project has already received development funding from the Finnish Film Foundation. Casting is already underway and the producers hope to shoot in the autumn of this year. Lwoff (who is participating in the Rotterdam Lab) is looking for coproduction partners.“Concrete Night is not a fi lm about school kill-ings, mass murderers, or young vandals in London,” the director has comments. “It’s a fi lm about a young mind that was shattered long before the all-encompassing misanthropy may have got a hold of it.”Right at the start of her career, Honkasalo co-directed the epic historical drama Flame Top (1980) which screened in competition in Cannes. By the mid 1980s, she had turned to documentary. “Maybe because I started so early, I got fed up with the world of fi ction fi lm, because it is so money oriented,” she stated in a recent interview. “I wanted out!” Her best-known documentaries include The 3 Rooms of Melancholia (2004) and Atman (1996).Bufo Films, set up in 2007, is run by Lwoff and Misha Jaari. Its other credits include The Inter-rogation (2010), directed by Jørn Donner (best known as producer of Fanny and Alexander) and The Good Son (2011), directed by Zaida Bergroth. Other projects Bufo is developing include The Last One, the new project from Estonian director Veiko Õunpuu. This is a drama set in a mining community in the north of Finland. Bufo Films was also one of the partners on Peter von Bagh’s Sodankylä Forever: the Century of Cinema (2011), which is screen-ing here in Rotterdam as part of the festival’s tribute to von Bagh.The company also has various documentaries on the boil. Among these are The New Artist, a doc asking whether robots are capable of creating art.

Andrew Hulme is one of the UK’s leading editors, having worked on fi lms ranging from Anton Corbijn’s Control and The American to Paul McGui-gan’s Gangster No. 1. Now he is taking the leap into direction. Hulme’s debut feature Snow in Paradise, being presented in CineMart, is to be produced through Christine Alderson’s Ipso Facto Films. The screenplay is based on the real-life experi-ences of Martin Askew, co-writer of the screenplay with Hulme.“He is a guy from the East End of London who has grown up in a big crime family,” Alderson explains. “A terrible thing happened in his life. A friend of his was found in a suitcase. He just realised if he carried on in this way, he would be next.” In the fi lm, Dave – who thrives on drugs and violence – fi nds calm in his life by embrac-ing Islam. “I found that I was attracted to violent fi lms that were more than exploitation; fi lms that had a meaning, that were a character’s journey

to discovery,” Hulme comments in a Director’s Statement. The project, which is being touted as a British answer to A Prophet, has already been generating buzz at the CineMart. Alderson and Hulme have over 50 meetings scheduled over the next three days. Casting is yet to be confi rmed. “We’re looking for a young Vincent Cassel,” Alder-son quips.Ipso Facto’s latest fi lm, Comes A Bright Day – sold internationally by Intandem – has just been select-ed for Berlin’s Generation Programme. The fi lm, directed by Simon Aboud, stars Craig Roberts and Imogen Poots. A UK distributor is expected to be announced shortly. Alderson confi rmed that former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney provided a song to be used in the fi lm, as did The Foo Fight-ers. Designer Paul Smith dressed the lead cast for the fi lm. The love story/thriller is about an armed heist on a Mayfair jewellery store that goes wrong. (GM)

MAKING TRANS-MEDIA WORKTransmedia is back on the CineMart agenda today with a panel co-hosted by the Media Desks of Belgium and the Netherlands. The event will occasion the launch of two new transmedia initiatives, the Dutch mediaZoo.eu and Belgian iDrops (iDrops.be) online labs and platforms. Panellists include transmedia storyteller Robert Pratten and Montecarlo (Quimica Visual), with former Screen International editor Mike Gubbins playing devil’s advocate. The audience will also hear the results of an earlier closed session in which members of TEN (Transmedia Europe Network) grappled with the transmedia concept. Moderator is Alok Nandi of cross-media design agency Architempo.“The idea is that transmedia professionals are getting together today to discuss the ins and outs of the current situation in transmedia,” comments fi lmmaker and media. Zoo founder (and Film Offi ce consultant) Aneta Lesnikovska. “And also our advo-cacy of it, what still needs to be done and how to establish both an understanding and a practical knowledge of the working processes. We want to work out how to make it transparent for future reference and offer a guide to the funding processes. We have to look critically at transmedia in terms of what works and what doesn’t.” (NC)

Life in a day

An accidential case of poisoning and a torrential storm helped the fermentation of Now, Forager, Ben Walters writes

Now, Forager probably wouldn’t exist were it not for something that happened before its writer, co-director and lead actor, Jason Cortlund’s birth: his grandfather was poisoned by a mushroom. “He was hospitalized for a couple of weeks,” Cortlund explains. “Fortunately, he didn’t need a liver trans-plant or anything like that but that was defi nitely part of my interest in mushrooms when I was old enough to go looking for them myself – old enough to rebel. It was a very thrilling thing.”This fascination grew into a lifelong passion, which in turn inspired Now, Forager. Subtitled A Film About Love & Funghi, this IFFR world premiere follows a year in the life of two New York-based expert mushroom-pickers and foodies (Cortlund and Tiffany Esteb), during which Cortland’s character’s determination to live an authentic life puts strain on the couple’s relationship. The action is punctuated by gorgeous close-ups of wild mushrooms in all their alien beauty.“We wanted to make a food fi lm that wasn’t about eating and consumption but about preparation and sourcing ingredients,” says Cortlund. “The story was written around the seasons and around specifi c species I knew I could locate. We had a three-month drought leading up to production and we were a little scared, but with two weeks to go a torrential storm hit Brooklyn. Four days later, there were mushrooms, and I went out shooting.”Much of the nature footage was shot by Cortlund and

his producer and co-director, Julia Halperin, on their own regular mushroom-picking hikes; both also have experience working in New York restaurants. “The people who work in restaurants are quite similar to the people who work in the fi lm industry,” Halperin notes. “It’s a pirate crew: staying up late, working odd hours, drinking a lot of coffee, working very intensely and physically creating something. There’s a shared sensibility.”This intensity comes through in Cortlund’s character, whose high standards can seem like intransigence; he isn’t always a fun guy to be around. “The likeability of the character is a challenge,” he agrees. “There are times you’re rooting against him, but then you’re suddenly empathising with him. Playing with that is fun.”Both fi lmmakers are members of the New York Mico-logical Society, some of whose members checked the script’s scientifi c terminology was up to date. “The Latin names change incredibly quickly,” says Cortlund. “It’s a hotly debated thing amongst micolo-gists. There will surely be names that have changed since production – they’ll do DNA testing and they say this is no longer Lapista, this is now Clytocybe…”But you don’t need to be a mycologist to be charmed. “There’s another hundred hours of mushroom footage that didn’t make it into the fi lm,” notes Halperin. “If there’s ever a DVD release, maybe we’ll add an extra 20 minutes. People have certainly asked for it…”

Garin Nugroho’s powerful The Blindfold was fi lmed in double-quick time owing to the threat of terrorist attack, Ben Walters reports

Films might be shot in a short period for numerous reasons, from a star’s limited availability to the desire to capture a time-specifi c natural phenomenon. Garin Nugroho shot The Blindfold in nine days, without fanfare, because it was a potential target of Islamist terrorist attack. “When I announced I was making this fi lm, the head of the government anti-terrorist agency called me to discuss it. Sometimes [such projects] can be dangerous. There were two fatal bombings while we made the fi lm.”The Blindfold is the fi rst Indonesian feature to deal with the religious radicalisation that has become endemic in the country, especially among younger people. The banned militant group Indonesian Islamic State (NII) has exploited widespread insecurity to recruit – or abduct – many students and teenagers. “This is one of the most important subjects for Indonesian society today,” says Nugroho. “It’s important for the public, for schools, for parents to understand. So many people lose a daughter or a son and they don’t know why. They read newspapers and books but don’t have the imagi-nation to see what’s happened to all the teenagers.”The powerful fi lm uses Nugroho’s characteristic struc-ture of three stories dealing with different aspects of

a social situation. Think of it as the Traffi c of South Asian Islamist terrorism. In one strand, we see a mother’s search for her missing daughter; in another, a disaffected young man’s gradual wooing by an NII operative; and, in the third, the experiences of a dynamic young female recruiter within the organisa-tion. This last strand contains many quotidian details of NII operations – not least a preoccupation with moneymaking – informed by two former senior NII operatives who clandestinely advised Nugroho. Their input and other research provided the fi lm’s structure; its execution was partly improvised in collaboration with the largely non-professional cast.Thankfully, Nugroho’s shoot was completed without incident, though he has attracted threats via SMS text messaging for making “kaffi r fi lms” (“I have to tell my family to be careful of unusual packages at the house,” he says). But The Blindfold was made with backing from major Muslim organisations and is to be shown in many schools.Nugroho is also pleased the fi lm is receiving its world premiere at IFFR, where six of his fi lms, including Leaf on a Pillow and Opera Jawa, have screened. “For me, it’s like a family feeling,” he says.

Eduardo Nunes’ Tiger entrant is a haunting enigma wrapped up in sumptuous visuals. By Edward Lawrenson

“The fi lm is a real puzzle,” says Brazilian director Eduardo Nunes of his feature debut Southwest: “You have to put together all the pieces.”Sure enough, there is a slow-burning sense of mystery to this drama set among a community of impover-ished and superstitious rural folk around the turn of the last century. In the atmospheric opening scene, a pregnant woman called Clarice dies during childbirth in a ramshackle boarding house. Later that day, the fi lm introduces us to a young girl, raised by an elderly woman labelled a witch by the local villagers. The girl is also called Clarice. As the day progresses, Clarice turns into a beautiful young woman – and there are further transformations to come. Is this character the same woman who died in the fi rst scene? And why is she ageing much more quickly than the people she encounters?To reveal more would be to risk ruining the haunting appeal of Nunes’ storyline, but there is a satisfying and moving dream-logic underlying the enigmatic tale. And all the while, there is the shimmering beauty of Nunes and DoP Mauro Pinheiro’s black-and-white ‘scope photography. Shooting in an abandoned village near salt-fl ats north of Rio, the movie’s visuals are breathtaking. The long-take camerawork is virtuoso. The compositions are elegant and precise.“Originally, I wanted to make the fi lm in colour,” Nunes says, “but the cinematographer persuaded me to do it black and white. It’s not a realistic story, he said, it’s like a fable.” Shot on 16mm, the fi lm also makes the most of the texture of the celluloid stock.

“We don’t have a digital release print,” says Nunes. “The print we have in Rotterdam is one of only six that exist!” The extremely elongated scope composi-tions are best appreciated on the big screen, too. “It’s so diffi cult to show it on DVD. I joke that when you show it on a laptop you have to use two and put them together to watch the fi lm!”Rotterdam is a kind of home-coming for the affable and ebullient Nunes. “After playing a couple of shorts here, I won a Hubert Bals award for this project. That was eight years ago! In Brazil, the fi lm is quite different from most other movies, so it took a long time to raise the rest of the funding.” He continues: “When I showed the project to local funders, they said they weren’t interested. I just heard ‘no, no, no’ for eight years. In fact, I rewrote the script eighteen times during this period – it changed, but not much. Finally, the Ministry of Culture said ‘OK, take some money!’ So we made it on quite a low budget: around $500,000.”Nunes also has a project in CineMart this year. A Happy Death is based on an early, unfi nished novel by Albert Camus, and Nunes discusses the project with evident enthusiasm. The option he and his producer Patrick Leblanc (who also produced Southwest) have has a two-year limit, so Nunes hopes to make the fi lm more quickly than his impressive debut.

Rather than the confl ict with the Palestin-ians, Sharon Bar-Ziv’s Room 514 focuses more on the confl ict within the state of Israel. By Edward Lawrenson

“I was sitting on my chair; its a yellow chair, very cosy,” says Sharon Bar-Ziv of the moment of inspiration for his striking debut feature Room 514, “and I had to jump up and I thought, wow, I have this idea! I wrote the screenplay quickly, fi lmed it quickly. In one year it was done, from writing to sending it to the festival.”An intense chamber piece revolving around Israeli soldier Anna’s investigation of a fellow offi cer’s assault on an Arab family, the fi lm had a very rapid production period. “It was actually four days,” says Bar-Ziv, “and an extra day for the close-ups I realised I needed.”But the short production schedule was supported by a six-month period of rehearsals, out of which emerged raw and compelling performances from Bar-Ziv’s young cast. “They’ve done military service them-selves,” says Bar-Ziv of his actors, “it adds authenticity: when their characters refer to being shot at, you know they know what they’re talking about.”The handheld shooting style (which was based on lengthy discussions Bar-Ziv had with his cameraman beforehand) focuses tightly on Bar-Ziv’s actors (for the most part restricted to the interrogation room of the title). This lends the drama immediacy, Bar-Ziv argues: “I wanted to give the feeling that things were happening right just now.”Charting the aggressive resistance with which Anna’s superiors react to her investigation, the fi lm was intended to evoke the fractious atmosphere of contem-porary Israeli society. “The real story of Israel is the confl ict between security needs and moral issues,” he says, “[Room 514] is about the Israeli confl ict, but the internal confl ict, not between us and the Palestinians (though there have been plenty of good movies about that) but between ourselves. Let’s look at ourselves and judge our own behaviour.”Having written for TV and theatre, Bar-Ziv also

worked in advertising, including helping devise big health and social campaigns for the state. “I worked personally with prime ministers, as well as top level ministers. So I can see how the system works from the inside.” But Room 514 is also something of a “home-coming” for Bar-Ziv. As a young man, he acted in Renen Schorr’s Late Summer Blues (1988). That fi lm was about young people before they go into the army; Room 514 portrays this generation as they are about leave military service: “So it’s like a circle for me.”

By Geoffrey Macnab

It’s the last interview of the day. Aki Kaurismäki is sitting on the landing outside the fi rst fl oor of the Doelen, an empty wine bottle at his feet and a cigarette in his hand. His new fi lm Le Havre is to screen later in the evening. (It is to be a typically tempestuous event, with Kauris-mäki turning up late for the Q&A and being booed by some audience members before his fi lm was rapturously received.)

No jokeKaurismäki gives deadpan and ironic answers to most questions. However, one subject he doesn’t joke about is the plight of Khadi-jat and Malik Gataevs, the Chechen couple whose cause he has long championed. The couple, who featured in Pirjo Honkasalo’s 2004 documentary The 3 Rooms of Melancholia, saved hundreds of children during the Chechen war. The couple then went to live in Lithuania, but were arrested in 2008 on what Kaurismäki believes were trumped-up charges.The Finnish fi lmmaker visited Khadijat, who has been called “the Angel of Grozny,” in prison. When she was released, he helped smuggle Khad-ijat and her husband out of Lithuania and into Finland, where they are still fi ghting for political asylum. Kaurismäki’s dread is that they will be forced to return to Lithuania and then handed over to the Chechens.“She is still living in a fl at I rented for them. The story is not going very well,” Kaurismäki says. “It is the same story as in the fi lm (Le Havre.) They are in Finland without papers, waiting for a court decision to see if they can stay. If they are sent back to Lithuania, that means they will be sent back to Chechnya, where they will be killed.”The Finns haven’t yet agreed to send the couple back to Lithuania. “It’s interesting because, for the fi rst time in the history of the European Union, a European country like Finland said “no” to another European Union country. They didn’t send them back because the (Finnish) court didn’t trust the Lithuanian justice system, which nobody should trust – in fact, it’s bullshit... if they are sent back to Lithuania, it means they’re in danger of being sent back to Chechnya, which means we will never hear of them again.” If the court rules against them, Kaurismäki adds, he will go with them. “They can kill all three of us.”

Deeper meaningOn a lighter note, the Finnish director is keen to pay tribute to his friend and colleague, Peter Von Bagh (subject of a retrospective in Rotterdam this year). “My earliest memories of him are the legendary Finnish Film Archive screenings, when he always came and introduced the fi lms. He gave deeper meaning to the fi lms. His introductions were mostly better than the fi lms... but not always!” He reminisces fondly

about retrospectives of Sam Fuller and Luchino Visconti fi lms staged by Von Bagh and his team.

Common problemsKaurismäki doesn’t have any plans to work again with the Leningrad Cowboys, the Finnish rock band he helped invent in the mid-1980s. None of the original musicians are still in the band. Ask him just how he managed to persuade the Red Army Chorus to perform with the Lenin-grad Cowboys for his 1994 concert fi lm Total Balalaika and he replies: “We are good organisers... it was complicated. I went to Moscow to discuss music rights and so on. It was very bureaucratic. At the same

time, Russia had just collapsed as a state – so everything was mixed up.” Did the Red Army enjoy singing Tom Jones and Bob Dylan songs? “Very many of them were lazy and they didn’t learn the words. When the Russian songs come, they are singing. They didn’t really study the Western songs.”Ask him what his attitude to Russia is and he replies: “there’s a common border (between Russian and Finland) of 1,300km – and so I had better be silent. They have always been there and we have always been there. I guess we’re not the fi rst on their attack list because they know they would be beaten like shit.”For the last two decades, Kaurismäki has lived in Portugal “23 winters,” he says darkly of the length of his stay, adding that he spends his days there “cutting wood to heat my house.” Why Portugal? “When you leave Finland, it is as far as it’s possible to go to the edge of Europe.” The Portuguese economy is in a parlous state. Many Kaurismäki fi lms deal with unemployment and economic diffi culty, but generally in a Finnish context. “Drifting Clouds was strictly a comment on unemployment in Finland,” he says in response to the idea that there may be paral-lels between the current Portuguese experience and the characters and situations in his movies. “But fi lms are stories. I don’t consider them as political statements at all. People want to hear and see stories. I don’t want to analyse anything at all.”

Polar oppositesThis is his fi rst trip to Rotterdam. “I’ve always heard good things about it... I was never invited before. I have been ready (to come) for 20 years.” On behalf of the distributors of Le Havre, Kaurismäki has dutifully been giving interviews to journalists throughout Europe – an experience that isn’t necessarily comfortable, but which alcohol and nicotine help him to endure. He is wryly perplexed at what the distributors demand of him. “All the distributors used to complain that I made too many fi lms. Now, they complain that I don’t make enough.”Long before The Artist became an Oscar contender, Kaurismäki was making silent fi lms (for example, Juha) and championing silent cinema. Has he seen The Artist? “No,” he declares. “I don’t see much of fi lms nowadays. If I see them, they’re mostly silent.”His system of deciding what to watch is straightforward enough. “If they survive ten years, I will watch them. If they don’t survive, I don’t have to see them. I don’t have to have the pain!”One double bill he revisits every year is Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North and Luis Buñuel’s L’Age D’Or. These were movies he saw at a very early age. “If I think about it nowadays, all the cinema which I’ve seen after goes between these two opposite fi lms. Nanook and L’Age D’Or are as far away from each other as they can be. At the same time, they are dealing with the same thing... life.”

Doelen Jurriaanse Zaal •FLM•

9:30The Great Northwest [wp] BF•geel•

Matt McCormick, USA, 2012, Video, 70 min, EnglishFifty years after four women recorded their journey through the North-west of America in a scrapbook, McCormick repeats their journey. His fi lm, which is also a kind of scrapbook, records the cultural changes of the past half-century alongside the visual ones.

11:30In April the Following Year, There Was a Fire [wp] TG•oranje01•

Wichanon Somumjarn, Thailand, 2012, Video, 76 min, Thai, e.s.A poetic title, almost a fi lm description, that demands some close reading. Just like the fi lm, which - as a visual poem - doesn’t immediately divulge its meaning. A young fi lmmaker looks back at his childhood in the sometimes boring, some-times beautiful countryside.

15:30Ace Attorney [wp] SP•paars01•

Miike Takashi, Japan, 2012, 35mm, 135 min, Japanese, e.s.Miike Takashi has a reputation for dark, violent fi lms. So it was a surprise when he announced he would be adapting a light-hearted Nintendo game (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney). But he proves capable of pulling this off. A funny, comic-strip-like, charming fi lm.

18:15Francophrenia (or: Don’t Kill Me, I Know Where the Baby Is) [wp] SP•paars01•

Ian Olds / James Franco, USA, 2012, Video, 69 min, EnglishIan Olds and Paul Felten wrote a new script to accompany footage of Franco made while shooting the soap General Hospital. The result is an experimental psycho-logical thriller in which Franco’s ideas become increasingly paranoid, making the celebrity’s eventual fall inevitable.

Willem Burger Zaal •FLM•

9:45Le Havre SP•paars01•

Aki Kaurismäki, Finland, 2011, Video, 93 min, FrenchAn optimistic fairytale about a selfi sh old man who betters his life by helping a young African refugee. Heartwarming and drily comic scenes in the French port of Le Havre show the soft side of Kaurismäki. Finnish submission for the Oscars.

12:00Living [wp] TG•oranje01•

Vasily Sigarev, Russia, 2012, 35mm, 119 min, Russian, e.s.It is already a challenge to make a fi lm on death and call it Living. But Sigarev fearlessly gets to the very heart of things, where life, death, God, love and the imagi-nation form an indestructible whole. A harsh and sometimes brutal experience, but catharsis will follow.

15:00Rat Fever [ip] SP•paars01•

Cláudio Assis, Brazil, 2011, 35mm, 110 min, Portuguese, e.s.High-power report of free-dom and love on the fringes of tropical Recife. Anarchistic poet Zizo falls for the down-to-earth Eneida, while his friends succumb to sex, drugs and other hedonistic activities. In other words, a colourful black-and-white fi lm, this latest from Tiger Award winner Assis (Bog of Beasts, 2007).

18:3038 témoins [wp] SP•paars01•

Lucas Belvaux, France / Belgium, 2012, 35mm, 104 min, French, e.s.A brutal murder in Le Havre: 38 people must have noticed, but say they heard or saw nothing. A claustrophobic, moving, beauti-fully shot fi lm with a strong cast including Yvan Attal, Sophie Quinton and Nicole Garcia. A clear picture of what fear and shame do to people.

21:00L [ep] TG•oranje01•

Babis Makridis, Greece, 2012, 35mm, 87 min, Greek, e.s.A man lives and works in his car. He meticulously, dutifully works as its driver until, one day, a New Driver is employed. Absurdist-existentialist fi lm about bears, the best honey and the importance of wearing the right footwear.

Pathé 2 •FLM•

9:15A Fish [ip] TG•oranje01•

Park Hong-Min, South Korea, 2011, Video, 105 min, Korean, e.s.Korean Park taught himself to fi lm in 3D for his debut. Viewers are cleverly fed a red herring in the shape of a philosophy professor who hears that his vanished wife is on an island training to be a shaman. The professor drops everything and goes in search of her.

Pathé 5 •FLM•

10:00Return to Burma [ep] TG•oranje01•

Midi Z, Taiwan / Myanmar, 2011, Video, 84 min, Mandarin / Burmese, e.s.At the moment, Myanmar (Burma) seems to be opening up slightly. Just before it did so, the young fi lmmaker Midi Z returned to his country of origin to shoot a small but remarkable fi lm. In poor countries it’s all about money - to the point of being tragicomical.

12:00He Was a Giant with Brown Eyes [wp] BF•geel•

Eileen Hofer, Switzerland / Azerbaijan, 2012, Video, 85 min, Azerbaijani / Russian, e.s.After her parents’ divorce, Sabina reluctantly followed her mother to Switzerland. Five years later Sabina, now 17, fi nally returns to her homeland of Azer-baijan. The fi lm enters a family’s intimacy to tell a universal story that deals with adolescence, separation and self-discovery.

14:00Malaventura [ip] BF•geel•

Michel Lipkes, Mexico, 2011, Video, 67 min, Spanish, e.s.One day, a nameless old man in Mexico City feels that he his life will end - and with it his memories. Dignifi ed debut by the young Lipkes, who’s already the central fi gure in New Mexi-can Cinema as a producer and festival organiser, as he follows him on his last journey.

Pathé 6 •FLM•

9:30A Woman’s Revenge [ip] SP•paars01•

Rita Azevedo Gomes, Portugal, 2011, Video, 100 min, Portuguese, e.s.This version of the famous story from Les diaboliques by Barbey d’Aurevilly (1874) features beau-tiful classical music, costumes and theatrical conventions which result in pure cinema. A rich, decadent man of the world meets an exceptional lady of the streets.

Cinerama 2 •FLM•

9:45Lena BF•geel•

Christophe Van Rompaey, Netherlands, 2011, Video, 119 min, Dutch / PolishAlmost every teenage girl yearns for love and almost every teen-age girl is insecure. And if you don’t live up to what is seen as the ideal image of women but do have a demanding mother, things don’t get any easier. Mo-ving portrait of a girl who has to fi ght hard for happiness. Set in Rotterdam.

12:15A Dangerous Method SP•paars01•

David Cronenberg, France / Ireland / United Kingdom / Germany / Canada, 2011, Video, 93 min, English, d.s.The titanic struggle between Sig-mund Freud and Carl Jung. The two giants of psychoanalysis are played by Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender. Between them, as their ‘hysterical’ pa-tient, Keira Knightley. Director Cronenberg has never been this subdued and controlled.

14:30Les géants SP•paars01•

Bouli Lanners, Belgium / France / Luxembourg, 2011, 35mm, 84 min, FrenchThree boys in the Ardennes: their summer becomes a fairy-tale adventure without parents, without money and - at one point - without shelter. Shot in beautiful cinemascope, a dead-pan poetic narrative by Bouli Lanners (Eldorado) in the spirit of Mark Twain.

16:30Alps SP•paars01•

Yorgos Lanthimos, Greece, 2011, 35mm, 93 min, GreekLanthimos (Dogtooth) is a pio-neer in new Greek cinema. In the absurd Alps, we follow a nurse, a paramedic, a gymnast and her trainer, who approach relatives with a strange proposition: they can be hired as temporary stand-ins for the deceased. The job is not without danger.

20:15Abrir puertas y ventanas BF•geel•

Milagros Mumenthaler, Argentina / Switzerland / Netherlands, 2011, 35mm, 98 min, SpanishSet during a hot late summer, Mumenthaler’s debut follows the sisters Marina, Sofi a and Violeta, who come to terms with the death of their grandmother as they lounge about, quarrel and cuddle. Between these sob sessions in Grandma’s house, the young women test each other’s boundaries. Winner of the Golden Leopard in Locarno.

Cinerama 3 •FLM•

9:30Valley of Saints [ip] BF•geel•

Musa Syeed, India / USA, 2012, Video, 82 min, Kashmiri / English, e.s.During a violent summer in the beautiful Kashmir Valley, a young boatman tries to escape. But then he fi nds a new love. It’s a story of confl ict, but it’s also about the environmental destruction of the beautiful Dal Lake.

11:45The Blindfold [wp] SP•paars01•

Garin Nugroho, Indonesia, 2012, Video, 90 min, Indonesian, e.s.Recruits to a radical Islamic organisation are blindfolded be-fore being taken to a contact ad-dress. So starts this look behind the scenes of a phenomenon that cannot be discussed. The fi lmmaker received a visit from the head of counter terrorism. A sensitive fi lm.

14:00Carnival [wp] BF•geel•

Madhuja Mukherjee, India, 2012, Video, 61 min, no dialogueThis visually exciting fi lm merges documentary and fi ction, evoking notions of Eros and Thanatos, and of joy and sadness. Meandering with a very free camera style through intri-guing situations in overcrowded Kolkata during a Hindu festival, the protagonist rediscovers old places.

15:45Now, Forager: A Film About Love & Fungi [wp] BF•geel•

Jason Cortlund / Julia Halperin, USA, 2012, Video, 93 min, EnglishA couple are picking wild mushrooms to sell to chic restaurants. One of them offers her a job. While her culinary star is rising, their relationship goes downhill. The fi lm, which cleverly latches onto the foraging trend, cuts through the love tragedy with poetic portraits of mushrooms.

18:00Goodbye SP•paars01•

Mohammad Rasoulof, Iran, 2011, Video, 104 min, Persian, e.s.Without her husband and wit-hout her lawyer’s licence, which has been withdrawn, Noora is left pregnant and alone in her apartment. Her attempt to leave Iran turns into a fi ght with male chauvinism. A personal, nerve-wracking and infuriating fi lm by Rasoulof, who was himself convicted for his fi lms in Iran.

20:00Matière grise BF•geel•

Kivu Ruhorahoza, Rwanda / Australia, 2011, Video, 104 min, French, e.s.If you are cynical, you could call this a genre fi lm. Almost all Rwandan fi lms are about the ge-nocide they can’t come to terms with. As in the case of good genre fi lms, it comes down to how creatively and intelligently the all-too-well-known story is told. And that happens here on a high level (and sometimes in an unexpected way).

22:15The Patron Saints [ip] BF•geel•

Melanie Shatzky / Brian M. Cassidy, USA / Canada, 2011, Video, 72 min, EnglishDisturbing portrait of life in a nursing home. A handicapped resident shares his experiences in an openhearted and occasio-nally funny way. Thanks to the lyrical-realistic style, it is both a raw and a poetic fi lm that looks, but never judges.

Cinerama 5 •FLM•

9:00Mondomanila [ip] SP•paars01•

Khavn De La Cruz, Philippines / Germany, 2011, Video, 75 min, Filipino, e.s.Mondo Cane is the legendary and cruel shockumentary by Gualtiero Jacopetti. Khavn sees his own Mondo in Manila. Jacopetti was an outsider; Khavn is a partici-pant. The secret of Khavn is that he shows poverty and injustice in an almost cheerful way, ma-king it even more awkward.

11:00That Small Piece [ip] BF•geel•

JOSEph S KEN, Uganda, 2011, Video, 90 min, English, e.s.Very simply a story about a quar-rel between neighbours about a small piece of land. Made with next to nothing. Not even a low budget. The fi lm maker puts out an appeal in Rotterdam to collect some second-hand fi lm equipment. Maybe his next fi lm really will be a low-budget fi lm.

Armenians can only gaze at it with longing.Nouakchott Rocks [ip] Moira Tierney, Mauritania / Ireland, 2010, Video, 19 min, no dialogueNouakchott, Mauritania: people busy with their daily affairs, a Ber-ber tent and a factory producing hand-made concrete blocks for the steadily growing city.SchipTanatchai Bandasak, Thailand, 2010, Video, 2 min, no dialogueA landscape image of a ship fl oa-ting down the Mekong river.

A re-appropriation of language and meaning through the act of collage.

A Little Prayer (H-E-L-P) [ep] Louise Bourque, Canada, 2011, 35mm, 8 min, no dialogueImages of Houdini bound in chains fl icker and spin amid laceration marks in the emulsion from the hand-processing.Starlings (at Nightfall) [ip] Peter Dudar, Canada, 2010, Video, 8 min, no dialogueA single, static, eight-minute-long shot documents the spiralling fl ight of thousands of starlings around a power transmission tower at dusk.

Kleuren en AfKortingen

Tiger AwArds CompeTiTie Tg Prijzen voor de nieuwe generatie. Zeventien genomineerde filmmakers strijden met hun eerste of tweede film om drie gelijkwaardige Hivos Tiger Awards.

Tiger AwArds CompeTiTie voor KorTe Films Ts Prijzen voor kort maar krachtig: 21 films korter dan zestig minuten zijn geselecteerd voor de Tiger Awards Competitie voor Korte Films, waarin drie gelijkwaardige prijzen te winnen zijn.

BrighT FuTure BF Vers bloed. Eerste of tweede film van filmmakers waarvan het festival in de toekomst nog veel goeds verwacht.

speCTrum sp Rotterdam op zijn breedst. Het festival selecteerde actueel, krachtig en vernieuwend werk uit alle windstreken, van veteranen tot minder bekende regisseurs.

speCTrum shorTs sh De kracht van kort: films van één tot 59 minuten lang, uit alle wind­streken. Ze worden als voorfilm bij lange films vertoond, of gebundeld in compilation prog.’s.

signAls: peTer von BAgh pB Dankzij het oeuvre van Peter von Bagh (filmmaker, festivaldirecteur en wandelende filmencyclopedie) kunt u binnen één festival Finland­kenner worden. Zijn documentaires hebben cinema en de woelige Finse geschiedenis als onderwerp. Het retrospectief wordt aangevuld met bijzondere historische speelfilms uit Finland.

signAls: regAined rg Een verfrissende duik in de filmgeschiedenis met parels uit de schat kamer van de cinema. De vangst: gerestaureerde klassiekers, docu­mentaires over cinema, animatie, filmische experimenten en een aantal exposities.

signAls: The mouTh oF gArBAge mg Retrospectief van klassieke trash, horror, sociaal drama, avant­garde en pornofilms, die de beruchte Braziliaanse rosse buurt Boca do Lixo in São Paulo als bakermat hebben.

signAls: power CuT middle eAsT pC Het dagelijkse bombardement van beelden van de volksrevoluties in het Midden­Oosten wekt de suggestie dat de Arabische Lente een vlam in de pan was. Power Cut Middle East onderzoekt wat die beelden nu precíes zeggen en laat, aan de hand van eerder werk van filmmakers, zien dat de revolte al tijden in de lucht hing.

signAls: hidden hisTories hh Speelfilms en documentaires uit China die een beeld schetsen van de Chinese realiteit dat haaks staat op dat uit de partijpropaganda, met onderwerpen als armoede, corruptie, ontworteling en wanbestuur. Naast films bevat Hidden Histories ook een bijzondere ontmoetings­plek: het Ai Weiwei Café.

signAls: For reAl Fr Geen films, maar het echte leven. Met een scala aan activiteiten en evenementen wordt de alledaagse realiteit tot filmische ervaring getransformeerd.
