The countdown begins now!

It’s coming… 1 – 30 September 2018. Get involved! Share ideas! Plan together! Celebrate Cinema! Create the World!

Teaming up with our sister season Directed by Women for the fourth year to celebrate films made by female filmmakers. It’s also a month long party which everyone is invited to.

We are partnering with Curzon Artificial Eye to celebrate Agnès Varda’s career. This summer, Curzon will be re-releasing eight of her best known films on glorious 4K DCPs. Find out more about this amazing retrospective and how to get involved here >>>

To join in with the Directed by Women celebrations, seek out screenings in your area of films made by women and be part of the conversation on how to see more female-told stories on screen. This year, Scalarama will also be tagging films on offer from distributors with the F-Rated tag, which highlights works made (directed or written) by female filmmakers.

Throughout the preparation weeks before Scalarama, there will be articles and recommendations of films that can be screened for September, and we’ll highlight any exhibitors who are taking up the challenge to show more films Directed by Women this year.

3 YEARS OF CARIBBEAN FILM

LIGHT IT UP

It’s a call to action. A call to arms. A call to change. A call that’s been ringing out for a long time and Caribbean filmmakers are answering that call in force. We’re asking them to focus their light on all the changes in the world, to showcase their vision of change and spread their message, to lead the way. The world can be a dark place, but we can look at that darkness and say “Light it Up.”

Our film selection panel has received numerous entries and after a rigorous process has programmed a number of films that we believe will be enjoyed by audiences in Toronto. This year we have selected 10 feature films for competition, paired with a number of short films that complement the featured selection.

This film returns to Cité Soleil to examine the impact of those raids on the community and to find out how survivors of the raids have fared in the ten years since. The film is produced using participatory practices, where the survivors retain control over their own contribution and were consulted during the filmmaking process and prior to public viewing.

Always Somewhere Else—The Cinema of Angela Schanelec in Dialogue GOETHE-INSTITUT LONDON 50 Princes Gate, Exhibition Rd, Knightsbridge, London SW7 2PH, UK

Event Details

This first comprehensive retrospective in the UK dedicated to Angela Schanelec proposes a dialogue between the films of the German filmmaker and those by international directors such as Chantal Akerman, Edward Yang, Joanna Hogg, or Claire Denis.

Considered to be part of the so-called Berlin School, which emerged in the 1990s, with colleagues such as Christian Petzold and teachers like Harun Farocki, Schanelec (b. 1962) has subtly maintained a strong position towards neoliberal life in contemporary Europe. She poses important questions about what it means to be a woman, to care for a child or to fall in love. Schanelec’s unique approach to these topics is to focus on the silences rather than the sounds, to follow the disappearances rather than the appearances, to protect her protagonists instead of exposing their emotions.

By combining her work with that of other filmmakers the retrospective not only aims at placing Schanelec’s work into a larger context but also at offering new entry and exit points to a fascinating and baffling oeuvre.
Schanelec will be present at some of the screenings to talk about her filmmaking.

Always Somewhere Else—The Cinema of Angela Schanelec in Dialogue is curated by Patrick Holzapfel and organised by the Goethe-Institut London. With special thanks to the Deutsche Kinemathek—Museum of Film and Television Berlin.

Event Details

Inspired by true events… It’s 1984, and a gorgeous, young, working-class woman, Angie Wang (Annie Q.) from Newark, NJ, is about to start her freshman year at a prestigious San Francisco university. On her first day, she meets her new roommate, a rich girl named Jeanine Rockwell (Francesca Eastwood), and the two bond over booze, boys, and their first taste of freedom!

Raised by her strict father in an urban neighborhood, the sudden jolt from hardship to privileged campus life proves to be a challenge for Angie Wang. When her financial aid is cut, she uses her book and street smarts, along with school resources to synthesize the growing popular drug, Ecstasy. Angie becomes one of the west coast’s largest distributors of ‘X,” cutting deals on campus and in posh nightclubs. Her dual life as the Asian ‘model minority’ coed and profit-driven drug dealer is further complicated by her desire to help Bree, a girl from one of the bay area’s most infamous ghettos who reminds her of her own dark past. Angie lives the high life until her recklessness instigates a sudden tragedy from which she may not recover.

Written and directed by Angie Wang, MDMA (formally known as Cardinal X) is a provocative, crime thriller inspired by true events of Wang’s gritty past as one of the major players in the party-drug business. Produced by Wang and Rick Bosner (Fruitvale Station) with Cassian Elwes (Dallas Buyers Club) and Lawrence Braitman serving as executive producers, the film stars Annie Q. (The Leftovers, Alex Strangelove), Francesca Eastwood (M.F.A., Outlaws and Angels), Pierson Fodé (CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful, Kill Game), Scott Keiji Takeda (Carrie Pilby), Aalyrah Caldwell (Code Black), Yetide Badaki (American Gods), Noah Segan (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Looper) with Elisa Donovan (Clueless) and Ron Yuan (Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of Mulan, Netflix’s Marco Polo).

Nelly Arcan shocked the literary world with elegant phrasing and lurid details in her semi-autobiographical first novel, Putain, which became an international best-seller in 2001. Nelly’s fragmented life is laid bare in a stylish mix of make-believe and memoir, revealing a woman lost between irreconcilable identities: the neurotic writer, the vulnerable lover, the call girl and the star. Despite literary success, the French Canadian’s remarkable life ended in tragedy.

Event Details

When eight-year-old Shula turns up alone and unannounced in a rural Zambian village, the locals are suspicious. A minor incident escalates to a full-blown witch trial, where she is found guilty and sentenced to life on a state-run witch camp. There, she is tethered to a long white ribbon and told that if she ever tries to run away, she will be transformed into a goat. As the days pass, Shula begins to settle into her new community, but a threat looms on the horizon. Soon she is forced to make a difficult decision – whether to resign herself to life on the camp, or take a risk for freedom.

By turns moving, funny and surreal, I Am Not a Witch offers spellbinding storytelling with flashes of anarchic humor. Sharply satirical, boldly provocative, audacious and unforgettable, it showcases Zambian-born Welsh director Rungano Nyoni as a fresh and fearless new voice in British film.

Event Details

Suffragette, journalist, theorist and feminist filmmaker Germaine Dulac (1882-1942) fervently pushed the boundaries of silent cinematic art, playing an integral role in the development of the first avant-garde in Europe and beyond.

Perhaps best known for The Seashell and the Clergyman, which history has proven to be the first Surrealist film, pre-dating the first screening of Un Chien Andalou by one year, Dulac’s hands-on influence reached deep into her national film culture: she contributed significant pieces on moving image theory, including the article Mise-en-scène; co-founded and was acting secretary to Club Français du Cinema, a hub for film clubs throughout France and a network for avant-garde exhibition; and served as a key organizer of the Société des auteurs de films, an association that attempted to form cohesive guidelines of ownership for independent, artist-made works. This September, the Archive is pleased to present 13 of the artist’s long- and short-form works from each stage in her exquisite career. All films directed by Germaine Dulac.

7:30pm La Princesse Mandane 7:30pm - 8:47pmArguably the most commercial film of Dulac’s career, this adventure tale, an adaptation of Pierre Benoît’s novel, is expressed primarily through the language of classical ballet and spatial representations of female captivity.

3:00pm Films Musicaux, Disques Illustrees and Documentary Work3:00pm - 4:40pmThis program assembles four of Germaine Dulac’s surviving “musical films” and “record illustrations” alongside one of her two documentary works: Autrefois… Aujourd’hui, Un peu de rêve sur le faubourg, Ceux qui ne s’en font pas, Celles qui s’en font, and Le retour à la vie.

Event Details

This series brings together three documentaries that celebrate the life and work of Audre Lorde, the self-described Black, lesbian, feminist, socialist, warrior, poet, mother. Lorde wrote, “From my membership in all of these groups I have learned that oppression and the intolerance of difference come in all shapes and sizes and colors and sexualities; and that among those of us who share the goals of liberation and a workable future for our children, there can be no hierarchies of oppression.” Through her poetry and activism, Lorde fought for the rights of the oppressed with an urgent and prophetic voice that remains inspiring and influential today, over 25 years after her death. These documentaries provide extraordinary glimpses of Lorde as a person, poet, and thinker. They are both an excellent introduction to her work and a rich resource for her longtime fans.

6:45pm A Litany For Survival: The Life and Work of Audre Lorde6:45pm - 8:15pmA LITANY FOR SURVIVAL: THE LIFE AND WORK OF AUDRE LORDE by Michelle Parkerson & Ada Gay Griffin. A stunning portrait of Audre Lorde, whose writings – spanning five decades – articulated some of the most important social and political visions of the century. From Lorde’s childhood roots in NYC’s Harlem to her battle with breast cancer, this moving film explores a life and a body of work that embodied the connections between the Civil Rights movement, the Women’s movement, and the struggle for lesbian and gay rights. At the heart of this documentary is Lorde’s own challenge to “envision what has not been and work with every fiber of who we are to make the reality and pursuit of that vision irresistible.”
9:00pm Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984 to 19929:00pm - 10:19pmAUDRE LORDE: THE BERLIN YEARS 1984 TO 1992 by Dagmar Schultz, “Schultz weaves together archival footage and interviews to portray Lorde’s experiences and interactions during her time in Berlin from 1984-92, in particular her relation to the German Black Diaspora and her attempt to articulate and raise awareness of Afro-German identity, culture, and history. The film offers a valuable historical document about the development of an Afro-German movement and the origins of the anti-racist movement before and after German reunification, as well as a transnational perspective on Black culture and the African diaspora.” –Sofia Varino

7:00pm The Edge of Each Other's Battles: The Vision of Audre Lorde7:00pm - 8:00pmTHE EDGE OF EACH OTHER’S BATTLES: THE VISION OF AUDRE LORDE by Jennifer Abod. This powerful documentary is a moving tribute to Audre Lorde. One of the most celebrated icons of feminism’s second wave, Lorde inspired several generations of activists with her riveting poetry, serving as a catalyst for change and uniting the communities of which she was a part: black arts and black liberation, women’s liberation, and lesbian and gay liberation. Nowhere was this more apparent than the groundbreaking I AM YOUR SISTER CONFERENCE which brought together 1,200 activists from 23 countries. Including thrilling footage of the inimitable Lorde herself, and candid interviews with conference organizers, THE EDGE OF EACH OTHER’S BATTLES powerfully brings Lorde’s legacy of poetry and politics to life and conveys the spirit, passion and intensity that remain her trademark.

Event Details

In hillbilly directors Sally Rubin and Ashley York show the evolution of the uneducated, promiscuous `hillbilly’ stereotype in film and television, linking it with corporate exploitation of Appalachia’s natural resources. The narrative anchor is York, a liberal feminist living in L.A. who returns to her hometown in eastern Kentucky in the weeks leading up to the election. The film seeks to illuminate the experience of white rural voters and to expand cultural understanding of the region. The film showcases the African-American Affrilachian Poets workshop and the Appalachian Media Institute at Appalshop, where queer young adults find community and refuge. The film aims to challenge viewers perception of Appalachia and to offer folks within the region a cinematic portrayal of which they can be proud, ultimately creating dialogue between urban and rural America.

Event Details

Vagabond, directed by Agnès Varda is the dark disturbing story of a female drifter named Mona (Sandrine Bonnaire). The film opens as Mona’s frozen body is found in a drainage ditch and proceeds to tell her story in a series of flashbacks and semi-documentary style “interviews” with the people who have known Mona during the last few weeks of her life. Mona is a distant, independent and not-very-likeable woman who goes from place to place, living where she can and with anyone who will take her in. Mona’s true nature remains a puzzle, both to those who thought they knew her, and to the audience. As the movie progresses it becomes clear that no one knew the true Mona and she, because of her aloofness and essential coldness, provided a canvas for those she met to write upon. Who Mona really was, and what she thought remains ambiguous. Varda has an instinctive awareness of and a photographer’s eye for visual detail which makes the film cold, bleak, and aridly beautiful. Internationally acclaimed, Vagabond is Varda’s most successful film.

Event Details

Down Under Berlin celebrates its 8th edition with the motto “Landscapes of Us”. It is an hommage not only to this year’s beautiful and haunting film landscapes that are a visual treat for the eyes; it is also an invitation to our audience to explore the inner landscapes of the stories they represent – the personal, emotional, social, historical and political landscapes of Down Under.

2018 marks an amazing year for the female filmmakers’ voice, and Down Under Berlin is proud to take part in this long overdue movement with 50% of all films being made by women.

Addressing current topics such as masculinity and the treatment of Indigenous Australians, the festival opens with the critically acclaimed western Sweet Country by Warwick Thornton and closes with Pete Gleeson’s depiction of Australian country life in his bold documentary Hotel Coolgardie. Another angle is taken by Adrian Russell Wills’s celebrated documentary Black Divaz, just one example of LGBTIQ content within this year’s program.

Whatever your taste, the landscapes of Down Under Berlin 2018 will entertain and challenge you by what Australia and New Zealand lays out on their sleeve: their hearts.

Event Details

Academy Cinemas in association with NZ Film Commission and Suffrage 125 are proud to present There She Goes, a selection of pioneering films made by women in the latter half of the 20th century in which the material experiences of womanhood as formed by race, class, sexuality, and nationality were critically represented and deconstructed through the medium of film. There She Goes presents a small selection of women’s cinematic output, endeavouring to highlight the radical work done by women within the (obstacle-ridden) field of cinema. These filmmakers not only succeeded in propelling the stories of women and other minority subjects into the limelight, but also radicalised the medium of cinema itself.

It is crucial to note that there are many titles omitted here not by choice but by accessibility. The archiving, restoring, digitising, and distributing of women’s cinema remains sorely lacking and many titles proved too difficult to obtain, particularly the work of woman filmmakers outside of Europe and the USA. We hope to see this becomes less of a barrier as women’s cinema continues to garner the recognition, support and protection it’s due.

Featuring A PLACE OF RAGE (Pratibha Parmar, 1991), BORN IN FLAMES (Lizzie Borden, 1983), JEANNE DIELMAN, 23 QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES (Chantal Akerman, 1975), LOVE AND ANARCHY (Lina Wertmüller, 1973), MAURI (Merata Mita, 1988), WANDA (Barbara Loden, 1970), WOMAN, DEMON, HUMAN (Huang Shuqin, 1987), VAGABOND (Agnes Varda, 1985) and shorts by Alison Maclean, Forough Farrokhzad, Maya Deren, and Sima Urale.

Take One Action Film Festival present Island of the Hungry Ghosts:

Deeply moving documentary contrasting lush nature and expansive soundscapes with the trauma of displacement and detention.

Christmas Island hosts one of the planet’s largest annual land migrations: that of forty million red crabs scurrying to the sea. Today the island is also home to a much darker presence: a high-security detention facility where those seeking asylum in Australia are held indefinitely.

Through the eyes of her protagonist, trauma counsellor Poh Lin, director Gabrielle Brady explores the island’s stunning landscapes, its violent past and its inescapable present. Extracts of detainees’ therapy sessions expose the brutality, isolation and hopelessness inherent in Australia’s indefinite detention policy (a policy espoused by the UK) while Brady’s camera captures the relentless force of the crabs’ own journey.

As conflicts, climate change and inequality continue fuelling humans’ search for safer spaces, this is powerful call for a more humane welcome.

BEYOND THE SCREEN

Join Take One Action after the film for inspiring conversations and opportunities for effective, personal action. We will be joined by guests Usman Aslam, solicitor specialising in immigration and asylum law, Kate Alexander, Director of Scottish Detainee Visitors, and a representative from Oxfam.

Presented in partnership with Oxfam Scotland.

Event Details

Current Time and Space artist-in-residence Beverley Bennett curates an evening of short films looking at the experiences of women of colour.

Including ‘A Tribute To Black Women, They Don’t Get a Chance’ and her own film ‘Amine’, among others.

‘F Word’ (2016) dir. Savanna Leaf

F Word is a self-funded, short-film reflecting on the feelings of a young adult addressing her biological father who abandoned her. Taking us on a journey across South London, we’re shown the affects of a distant father on a receptive, young woman as she confronts seemingly inescapable and uncontrollable conflicts in an honest portrayal of self-discovery.

‘Cedar Wood and Silk’ (1995) dir. Jillian Li-Sue

“There are some things that mothers and daughters share, but there are also many secrets that they keep.” Cedar Wood & Silk is about handing things down from one generation to another. It’s about the perspectives Jamaican mothers have of their British-born daughters and vice versa and the battles they have with clothes. Fashion has a lot to answer for.

‘A Tribute to Black Women, (They Don’t Get a Chance)’ (1986) dir. A.Carney, B. Phillips

How many famous Black women can you name who aren’t either sportswomen or entertainers’ Mostly the folks of Liverpool draw a blank – making the point that too little is known or taught about Black women. Using lively vox pops and interviews, the tape investigates why this is so, pointing to inadequate media representation and bias in the education system which Black women have to overcome to uncover their own history. By focusing on the careers of two women seldom mentioned in school history books – Harriet Tubman and Mary Seacole – the film begins to redress the balance.

‘Dreaming Rivers’ (1988) dir. Martine Attille

A bittersweet and nostalgic short drama illustrating the spirit of modern families touched by the experience of migration. Miss T., from the Caribbean, lives alone in her one-room apartment, her children and husband having left her to pursue new dreams. When she dies her family and friends gather at her wake. The tapestry of words that interweave the drama convey the fragments of a life lived, but only partly remembered.

‘Amine’ (2017) dir. Beverley Bennett

A tapestry of voices reveals the multi-faceted complexities and experiences of what it is to be a black woman in the UK today.

The Bookshop followed by live Skype Q&A/discussion with Isabel Coixet (online later!)

Isabel Coixet

Isabel Coixet is a prolific Spanish filmmaker whose work as a writer/director and often as her own camera operator includes award-winning features, documentaries and commercials. Her personal work has complex women protagonists and often incorporates human rights themes. She was a good friend of John Berger whose writing revolutionised ideas about looking at and portraying women.

The Bookshop is Isabel’s most recent work. She is now in post-production on Elisa y Marcela, for Netflix, about two women who attempt to marry at the beginning of the twentieth century. Isabel is also a member of Spain’s powerful group of activist women directors and president of the influential European Women’s Audiovisual Network.

#directedbywomen #aotearoa is a Suffrage125 project organised by Marian Evans with lots of great help, it’s an extension of her decade-long research into gender equity and women’s filmmaking, and aims to raise awareness of and increase audiences for screen works that women direct. It will present pop-up events in Auckland and Wellington between September-November.

Of all feature films produced in Aotearoa between 2003-2016, around 80% were directed by men; and of taxpayer-funded features during this period, only 6.5% were written and directed by women and had female protagonists. Women participate more fully in documentary-making; in the last three years, the proportion of NZOA-funded documentaries directed by women fluctuated between 36-46%, though how many of these were about women and girls is unmeasured. Distribution of films that diverse women make is a further, global, problem.

(d Ida Lupino 1953, US) 71 min.

Ida Lupino set aside her career as a successful leading lady, acting opposite such well-known stars as Humphrey Bogart, to start her own production company, Emerald Productions aka The Filmakers. This taut and primal thriller, the first film noir directed by a woman, is based on the crime spree of Billy Cook, who murdered six people in 22 days. Lupino abandoned her signature style of sweeping crane shots for claustrophobic close ups in this tale of Ray (Edmond O’Brien) and Gilbert (Frank Lovejoy) who unknowingly pick up a sociopath (William Talman) on the run from the law. The two friends plot an escape, but the hitchhiker’s peculiar physical affliction, an eye that never closes even when he sleeps, make it impossible for them to tell when they can make a break for it.

Doors open at 6:45pm.

This Fall semester, the CSUN Cinematheque celebrates the contributions of women to film, television, and other media industries. Our international retrospective includes classic works by noted auteurs and prizewinning contemporary creators. We are especially excited to host honored guests who include film critics, animators, producers, writers, and directors. The screenings are open to the public and admission is free.

Event Details

Agnès Varda has been one of the most distinct voices in French cinema since making her directorial debut with La Pointe Courte in 1954, and she offers a singular look back at her life and career in this autobiographical documentary. Most of Les Plages d’Agnès takes place on the seashores of France and Belgium, where she shares memories with her friends and family, looks at her photos and clips from her films, reenacts moments from her past with the help of her crew and a handful of nonprofessional actors, and examines both her successes and failures, often using visual metaphors to illustrate her attitudes about her past (mirrors to reflect what goes on around her, a small house literally built from a print of one of her movies).

Venue is wheelchair accessible, Screening is subtitled (in English), Screening offers free ticket for carers, Screening offers concessionary prices.

Event Details

Can small people, in small places, doing small things, change the world?

One of Mexico’s most remarkable ecosystems, the cloud forest, is under threat as coffee plantations, cattle grazing and an increase in human population all take their toll. In response, the people of a small town in Veracruz take it upon themselves to “be the change” and protect this unique habitat. Building their own homes, schools and farms, they set out to restructure their entire culture, from the food they grow to their children’s education, radically redefining their relationship with nature – and each other – along the way.

With birdsong, the sound of water flowing and the wind as its only musical soundtrack, this gentle, contemplative documentary offers an intimate and inspiring portrait of community resilience.

FANTASTIC FEST ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST WAVE OF PROGRAMMING WITH A WORLDWIDE EXPLOSION OF GENRE FILM

Fantastic Fest highlights include a focus on global female genre filmmakers who are blasting through the silver screen with distinctive and brilliant features. From Ukraine, Marysia Nikitiuk explores the clash between old world values and young love in a visually charged fusion of genres in WHEN THE TREES FALL. Spain’s Sonia Escolano turns up the tension in her mesmerising treatise on religion, faith and belief in HOUSE OF SWEAT AND TEARS. Isabella Eklof brings her Sundance critical hit HOLIDAY to the fest all the way from Denmark. And finally, alumna Amanda Kramer makes an unforgettable mark with her distinctive debut LADYWORLD, a post-apocalyptic, daring probe into the darkest reaches of the teenage female mind.

AGFA (the American Genre Film Archive) triumphantly returns to the festival with a trio of restorations all receiving the World Premiere treatment. ‘80s shot-on-video epic BLOOD LAKE is restored from the 1” master tapes and arrives alongside a double bill of I WAS A TEENAGE SERIAL KILLER and MARY JANE’S NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE, celebrating the punk riot grrrl feminist cinema of Sarah Jacobson, both in brand new 2K preservations….

Fantastic Fest is the largest genre film festival in the U.S. specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and just plain fantastic movies from all around the world. The festival is dedicated to championing challenging and thought-provoking cinema, celebrating new voices and new stories from around the world and supporting new filmmakers. We work with various other festivals, archives, cinematheques and individuals to spotlight lesser-known film regions, luminaries and more in an ongoing effort to expand the general knowledge and appreciation of cinema. We are committed to supporting film in its most provocative, ground-breaking and lesser known forms and giving the audience a chance to find new favorites and future genre classics.

Event Details

At Women Over 50 Film Festival (WOFFF) we showcase the work of older women on both sides of the camera. We look to them to drive our stories – as film-makers and performers.
Each film we screen at WOFFF has to follow this one simple rule – it must have a woman over 50 at its centre or a woman over 50 in the core creative team (writer, producer, director).

WOFFF is an inclusive festival which celebrates older women in all their diversity. If your short film has an older woman at is heart – on screen or behind the camera – it’s eligible for submission to WOFFF. For example, in our first festival in 2015 we screened a documentary two young trans men made about an older trans woman. All ages, all genders are welcome at WOFFF.

Event Details

In hillbilly directors Sally Rubin and Ashley York show the evolution of the uneducated, promiscuous `hillbilly’ stereotype in film and television, linking it with corporate exploitation of Appalachia’s natural resources. The narrative anchor is York, a liberal feminist living in L.A. who returns to her hometown in eastern Kentucky in the weeks leading up to the election. The film seeks to illuminate the experience of white rural voters and to expand cultural understanding of the region. The film showcases the African-American Affrilachian Poets workshop and the Appalachian Media Institute at Appalshop, where queer young adults find community and refuge. The film aims to challenge viewers perception of Appalachia and to offer folks within the region a cinematic portrayal of which they can be proud, ultimately creating dialogue between urban and rural America.

Exhibition Dates: 20 September – 11 November

Filmed on Tuvalu in the South Pacific, one of the most endangered nations currently facing the impacts of climate change, Holding On captures a struggle between the body of the artist and the body of the ocean as the tide gradually comes in. Tiatia’s video speaks of the constant and unrelenting faith required of the people of the Pacific, whose islands and homes are increasingly under threat from climate change. As the light fades into darkness, it is unknown whether she will be able to hold on or be swept away.

JR chose to create open-air photographic galleries. When Agnès and JR met in 2015, they immediately wanted to work together, shoot a film in France, far from the cities.

Event Details

The Birds’ Eye View’s 4 film/5-city Reclaim The Frame film influencer project is a mission to bring ever-greater audiences to films by women to build a more balanced film future. Our collaboration continues with the gorgeous American drama The Rider by Chloe Zhao followed by a discussion with Wendy Ide film critic from The Observer.

Once a rising star of the rodeo circuit, Brady is warned that his competition days are over after a tragic riding accident. Back home, he finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: to ride and compete. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America.

Back home on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, he struggles with the physical and emotional complications of the accident. He is comforted by his inimitable little sister Lilly, who has Aspergers Syndrome, yet tensions between Brady and his gambling father, Wayne, is reaching a breaking point when Wayne resorts to selling Brady’s favourite horse, to keep their trailer home.

The Rider premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight section at the Cannes Film Festival where it won the Art Cinema Award, and at Sundance Film Festival 2018. It was written, produced and directed by Chloé Zhao and stars a real-life Lakota Sioux Bronc rider Brady Jandreau and his actual sister Lilly Jandreau and father Tim Jandreau playing versions of themselves.

Reclaim The Frame events feature guest speakers connected to the various themes of the film to open up a conversation with the audience, hosted by Mia Bays and Jo Duncombe from Birds’ Eye View. There will then be a craft workshop connected to some of the themes in the film afterwards, for everyone to mingle and enjoy.

Event Details

Take One Action Film Festival present Strike a Rock:

After the massacre of 34 striking mineworkers shakes their poverty-stricken community, two grandmothers lead their community in a historic fight for justice.

The women of Marikana, many of whose men died demanding a living wage and better living standards, have been determined to force the mine owner, UK-based Lonmin, to meet its legal obligation to improve living conditions for the miners’ widows and children.

Two of them, Thumeka Magwangqana and Primrose Sonti, have their friendship tested when Primrose is elected to Parliament. Leaving Marikana behind to enter the political arena, Primrose becomes gradually disconnected from the grassroots movement she helped to start, while Thumeka must step into the vacuum and lead the community.

Tracking the uneasy line between the personal and the political, Strike a Rock also offers a damning exposé of the ties between the ANC government and the extractive industry – contrasting political expediency, corruption and corporate hypocrisy with the women of Marikana’s struggle for solidarity, healing, respect and justice.

BEYOND THE SCREEN

Join Take One Action after the film as we explore representations of Marikana on screen and international solidarity with the community, with guests Justine Atkinson and Lizelle Bischoff (Africa in Motion Film Festival) and Lynn Williamson (UNISON Scotland).

Presented in partnership with UNISON Scotland and Africa in Motion.

Screening as part of the Take One Action Film Festival – the UK’s leading global change film festival, celebrating the people and the films that are changing the world | 12-23 September, Edinburgh & Glasgow

Event Details

In Māori, waru means “eight.” Following the death of a child, eight Māori women are confronted by guilt, pride, and defeat, but all will ultimately risk everything for the greater good of their community. Creating this feature-length film, eight female Māori filmmakers each contributed a 10-minute vignette—presented as a continuous shot in real time—which unfold around the tangi (funeral) of a small boy, Waru, who died at the hands of his caregiver. The vignettes are all subtly interlinked, each following one of eight female Māori lead characters during the same moment in time as they come to terms with Waru’s death and try to find a way forward in their community. In English and Māori with English subtitles.

Let’s try an experiment with “nonpreconception!” Let’s go to a screening without knowing what we are going to see.

The BFC/A, #DirectedByWomen, and IULMIA invite you to explore.

Author Frances Flaherty described her husband’s approach to filmmaking as one of “non-preconception”: Nonpreconception is the pre-condition to discovery, because it is a state of mind. When you do not preconceive, then you go about finding out. There is nothing else you can do. You begin to [explore.]” Frances H. Flaherty, The Odyssey of a Film-maker: Robert Flaherty’s Story (New York: Amo, 1972): 10.

This content of this screening will not be announced publicly beforehand. It begins promptly at 7PM followed by discussion with the filmmaker.

Event Details

“When they tear down the trees and strip the land, they tear down our people and strip away their lives.”

In 2005, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africa’s first elected female head of state. Fêted as an anti-corruption champion in the West, she brought Liberians new hope after decades of civil war. For activist Silas Siakor, who had spent years exposing links between illegal logging and the previous regime’s brutal dictatorship, this optimism was sadly short lived. Evidence soon emerged that corruption and illegal logging were continuing to thrive, with multinational corporations covertly acquiring over 50% of Liberia’s forests, often forcing tribes off their ancestral lands, in a web of nepotism and corruption that went to the very heart of government.

Silas captures its protagonist’s battle to expose and crush environmental destruction, paying tribute to his commitment and to the many communities emboldened to seize back control of their lands.

Event Details

Directed by by Kimi Takesue

In 95 AND 6 TO GO, a resilient widower’s memories become intertwined with the fictional screenplay his granddaughter is writing, revealing the fine line between life and art, rumination and imagination. Filmmaker Kimi Takesue captures the cadence of daily life for Grandpa Tom, a retired postal worker born to Japanese immigrants in Hawai’i in the 1910s. Amidst the solitude of his home routines – coupon clipping, rigging an improvised barbecue, lighting firecrackers on the New Year – we glimpse an unexpectedly rich inner life. As his granddaughter queries his history of love and loss, a stalled film project becomes a collaborative inquiry into mortality and how one constructs a personal narrative with memories that span almost a century. Shot over six years in Honolulu, this intimate meditation on absence and family expands the vernacular of the ‘home movie’ to consider how history is accumulated in the everyday and how sparks of humor and creativity can animate an ordinary life.

“What initially feels like a conducive format for a miseof meta proportions, in which a speculative fiction is scaffolded within a documentary, reveals itself as an affectionate and occasionally circumspect portrait of familial discovery, a version of the home movie that reaches back a century to reveal a backstory ripe with love and loss but absent any shattering disclosures. […] The film is in many ways a mutually somber homecoming; the proverbial return to care for one’s elders becomes an active accounting of the past and provokes an unforeseen source of humble creativity. The subject of Japanese American identity during the war is broached as a matter of course, thus rendering the now quotidian gestures of this resilient nonagenarian all the more affecting.” –Jay Kuehner, CINEMA SCOPE

Revered French filmmaker, Agnès Varda, and enigmatic photographer, JR, embark on a road trip across rural France onboard a giant mobile darkroom. Along the way, they stop by villages, meet the locals and immortalise memories, faces, and goats in giant photographs they then install in public spaces. Tender, playful and inspiringly humanist, FACES PLACES, is a moving tribute to small communities and those who live within them, and a charming record of two artists’ budding friendship and partnership.

“FACES PLACES is a film of sheer joy, its exuberance surpassed only by its tenderness and purity of purpose.” Washington Post

Event Details

In hillbilly directors Sally Rubin and Ashley York show the evolution of the uneducated, promiscuous `hillbilly’ stereotype in film and television, linking it with corporate exploitation of Appalachia’s natural resources. The narrative anchor is York, a liberal feminist living in L.A. who returns to her hometown in eastern Kentucky in the weeks leading up to the election. The film seeks to illuminate the experience of white rural voters and to expand cultural understanding of the region. The film showcases the African-American Affrilachian Poets workshop and the Appalachian Media Institute at Appalshop, where queer young adults find community and refuge. The film aims to challenge viewers perception of Appalachia and to offer folks within the region a cinematic portrayal of which they can be proud, ultimately creating dialogue between urban and rural America.

A film that examines the experience of Palestinians living within Israel’s borders for the first time with deft humour, Wajib is a moving tale that dances along the easily blurred line between love and duty.

Event Details

Chloé Zhao’s (Songs My Brothers Taught Me) award-winning impressionistic drama casts real-life wrangler Brady Jandreau as a South Dakota cowboy struggling to chart a new course after a terrible injury sustained in the saddle. “A horse’s purpose is to run in the prairies; a cowboy’s is to ride.” So, what does a cowboy become when he can no longer ride? This is the question at heart the of The Rider, a compelling and wholly engrossing work that observes the aftermath of tragedy. Retaining a docudrama aesthetic, Zhao integrates the real lives of her actors into her storytelling and creates something truly transcendent that explores both notions of masculinity and the mythology of the American west.

MIKEY AND NICKY: Sun 23 September, ICA London, 4.00pm
ISHTAR: Sun 23 September, ICA London, 6.30pm

Ask any of the top American comedians of the past forty years to name their influences, and the name Elaine May is sure to come up. Alongside Mike Nichols she established a new kind of erudite, neurotic, satirical sketch comedy in the late 1950s, blazing a trail for a whole generation of performers to come. According to Lily Tomlin, “There was nothing like Elaine May. Her voice. Her timing. Her attitude.”

But it is as a director of four unique studio feature films that we can see the full flowering of May’s talents. She subverted the romantic comedy with A New Leaf (1971) and The Heartbreak Kid (1972), and then she tested the bonds of friendship under extreme duress in Mikey & Nicky (1976) and Ishtar (1987). The latter film never recovered from its toxic pre-publicity, and became a notorious big-budget flop. Thirty years on, it remains the last film she has directed.

Elaine May is a maverick artist who was uncompromising in pursuit of her vision, and the manner in which she has been neglected by Hollywood is shameful. “Her four films as a director are high points in American moviemaking,” Martin Scorsese has said, and The Badlands Collective is proud to present this small but extraordinary body of work at the ICA on rarely screened 35mm prints, giving a whole new audience the opportunity to discover and celebrate a great American director.

Event Details

ISO presents two isolationist parables exploring parental control gone mad. Deniz Ergüven’s César award winning Mustang is an intimate, naturalistic portrayal of familial dysfunction, patriarchal oppression and forbidden sexuality. Yorgos Lathimos’ Dogtooth (one of David Lynch’s favourite films!) takes these themes to their surreal, demented, and blackly comic extreme. Both films offer a sharp indictment of modern society by exploring the dark side of a parent’s attempts to preserve a child’s innocence.

Come and experience these two unique and thought provoking films in ISO’s basement screening room as part of Scalarama 2018.

New Restoration!

1972, Eagle Rock Entertainment, 68 min, USA, Dir: Steve Gebhardt, John Lennon, Yoko Ono

A window into the lives of two of the world’s most beloved artists, IMAGINE depicts John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s artistic processes as they compose the classic albums “Imagine” and “Fly” at their home in 1971. With a killer soundtrack and rare studio footage, this made-for-television gem is rarely screened in theaters, and its impressive surround sound offers a chance for Lennon and Ono fans to hear the music in a way that cannot be duplicated at home. Don’t just imagine this unique celebration of love, dreams and music – see it on the big screen!

Event Details

An Aotearoa New Zealand Parliamentary screening of two works about women and employment, by invitation only.

Even Dogs Are Given Bones is about a group of women workers who occupied the Rixen clothing factory in Levin for eleven weeks in 1981, after its owner made them redundant and closed the factory without giving them redundancy payments. The film documents the occupation and highlights the courage of the women who occupied the factory, the challenges they faced and how the experience changed them. It was partially funded by the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, has rarely been screened and has now been digitised thanks to Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision.

Kanya Stewart

As well as her work for Auckland Women’s Community Video, director Kanya (formerly Carole) Stewart edited Some of My Best Friends Are Women (dir Deirdre MCartin, 1975) and the equally legendary Women series (dir Deirdre McCartin, 1977).

Minimum is about women who work low-wage, precarious or under-appreciated jobs in Aotearoa. It was funded by New Zealand on Air (NZOA), with thanks to Wellington City Council Creative Communities Scheme and the Emerging Artists Trust. (68% of Aotearoa’s minimum wage workers are women.)

Director Kathleen Winter is a filmmaker and photographer whose last documentary was the short He Kākano Ahau – From the Spaces Between, produced by Jaimee Poipoi, about a courageous takatāpui activist fighting for true diversity in Aotearoa’s Pride celebrations.

Event Details

After the massacre of 34 striking mineworkers shakes their poverty-stricken community, two grandmothers lead their community in a historic fight for justice.

The women of Marikana, many of whose men died demanding a living wage and better living standards, have been determined to force the mine owner, UK-based Lonmin, to meet its legal obligation to improve living conditions for the miners’ widows and children.

Two of them, Thumeka Magwangqana and Primrose Sonti, have their friendship tested when Primrose is elected to Parliament. Leaving Marikana behind to enter the political arena, Primrose becomes gradually disconnected from the grassroots movement she helped to start, while Thumeka must step into the vacuum and lead the community.

Tracking the uneasy line between the personal and the political, Strike a Rock also offers a damning exposé of the ties between the ANC government and the extractive industry – contrasting political expediency, corruption and corporate hypocrisy with the women of Marikana’s struggle for solidarity, healing, respect and justice.

Event Details

13-year-old Sadie lives in anticipation of her father’s bi-weekly letters in the mail. He’s been overseas for the past few years serving repeated tours in the U.S. military, and Sadie knows the only reason he isn’t coming home is because their country needs him more—he’s a hero. But waiting isn’t easy. Sadie lives in a trailer park with her mother, whose relationship with her husband is strained if not non-existent. She spends her days writing troubling and violent essays at school, and her evenings messing around the park and adjoining junk yard with her best friend and neighbor, Francis. When a cocky ex-pilot moves in across the way and develops a romantic relationship with her mother, Sadie makes a dark decision to stop at nothing to protect her family from crumbling beneath her.

En el Nombre de la Hija cuenta la historia de una niña de nueve años cuyo nombre está en disputa. Manuela lleva el nombre de su padre, socialista y ateo; pero su abuela, católica y conservadora, insiste en darle el nombre que todas las primogénitas de la familia han llevado por generaciones: Dolores. La historia transcurre en un valle de los Andes ecuatorianos, en el verano de 1976. Manuela y su hermano menor, Camilo, quedan al cuidado de sus abuelos en la casa de hacienda de la familia, done comparten las vacaciones con los primos.
Empeñada en defender las ideas de su padre, Manuela se enfrenta a las ideas de sus primos y abuelos, pero un encuentro inesperado le obliga a enfrentarse a sí misma. Oculto en la bi-blioteca de la casa de hacienda, hay un tío loco dedicado a liberar a las palabras de las atadu-ras de los dogmas. Con él Manuela debe romper sus propias ataduras y esto cambia para siempre su relación con el lenguaje y con los nombres, incluido el suyo propio.

Event Details

In Māori, waru means “eight.” Following the death of a child, eight Māori women are confronted by guilt, pride, and defeat, but all will ultimately risk everything for the greater good of their community. Creating this feature-length film, eight female Māori filmmakers each contributed a 10-minute vignette—presented as a continuous shot in real time—which unfold around the tangi (funeral) of a small boy, Waru, who died at the hands of his caregiver. The vignettes are all subtly interlinked, each following one of eight female Māori lead characters during the same moment in time as they come to terms with Waru’s death and try to find a way forward in their community. In English and Māori with English subtitles.

ONE SINGS, THE OTHER DOESN’T (12A) at Hebden Bridge Picture House

Saturday 22 September 2018 at 4.30pm (doors open 4.15pm, film starts 5pm)

Dir: Agnès Varda | France | 1977 | 104 mins | French with English Subtitles

Cast | Thérèse Liotard, Valérie Mairesse, Robert Dadiès

When Agnès Varda made the miraculous One Sings…, her folk-pop abortion musical, abortion was only two years legal in France – thanks to the Veil law, for which Varda herself had taken to the streets. Charting the personal and political (and fashion) changes in two French women’s lives from the early 1960s to the mid-70s, One Sings… is a joyous feminist anthem for the right to choose in all things, embroidered smocks included.

Pauline (aka Pomme) sings, travelling the country to perform feminist songs, while her childhood friend Suzanne (who doesn’t sing) runs a women’s health clinic. Even rarer than a film that demystifies activism and abortion is one wherein a female friendship, constant and intelligent, braids the narrative beautifully together.

Event Details

Take One Action Film Festival present Naila and the Uprising:

Recontextualising a revolution: a unique opportunity to re-appraise the history of nonviolent resistance in Palestine from a feminist perspective.

Most images of the first Intifada are of stone-throwing Palestinian youths facing off Israeli tanks. This hopeful documentary tells the story that history overlooked, and pays tribute to the thousands of women whose grassroots organising – whether they were taking to the streets in their thousands, forming farming co-ops or community schools – was the unsung, beating heart of this spontaneous uprising.

Combining animation, exclusive archive footage and intimate, in-depth interviews with women who were on the ground in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, Naila and the Uprising sheds light on these resolute women’s sacrifices and contributions to the most vibrant nonviolent mobilisation in Palestinian history.

BEYOND THE SCREEN

Join Take One Action after the film for inspiring conversations and opportunities for creative, effective personal action. We are delighted to be welcoming the film’s main protagonist, Naila Ayesh, founder and director of the Women’s Affair Centre in Gaza. She will be joined by other guests including Sofiah MacLeod (Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign).

Presented in partnership with Christian Aid, UNISON Scotland and SPEAK!

To echo the restoration of Yellow Submarine (1968) earlier this June, there is more of The Beatles coming to Edinburgh in September! Curious Cat | Cinema Club is making its opening party with Across the Universe (2007) – a magical mystery party you won’t wanna miss! Featuring 33 Beatles compositions, Across the Universe is one of the most polarising musicals ever made. The urban legend says Paul McCartney loved it. >Curious Cat< undoubtedly does and invites you all for a sing-along, heaps of colour, explosive strawberries, rock’n’roll frenzy and an unforgettable psychedelic dream. Bring all the love you can carry – because love is all you need.

!¡!BYOB!¡!

*a small corkage fee may apply on the premises

Tickets on the door – CASH only!

Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.

Tara Petti, CEO, Southern First Nations Network of Care). Moderated by Nadine Pequeneza (Director/Producer/Writer The Invisible Heart).

108 Worldwide. 24 Countries. 1 Promise. Filmed over three years in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, The Invisible Heart explores one of the fastest growing social innovations in modern history. An unorthodox marriage between capitalism and charity, Social Impact Bonds have made strange bedfellows: social workers and Wall Street bankers, the homeless and venture capitalists, conservative and liberal politicians. From the halls of power to the struggling underclass, The Invisible Heart follows an unusual cast of characters as they attempt to tackle everything from crime to homelessness to academic failure. With Social Impact Bonds governments repay investors only if the programs improve social outcomes, for example, lower unemployment or prison recidivism. Return on investment is tied to the success of a program.

Highlights from the programme confirmed so far include:

Roberta Cantow’s Emmy Award-winning Clotheslines (1982), about the artistic and symbolic role of laundry in women’s lives

Margaux Guillemard’s beautiful 26 rue Saint Fargeau (2017), a vertical journey through a Parisian social estate

Lisa Castagner’s spellbinding Pullman Court in 29 Parts (2014), a rhythmical short depicting residents’ shared experience of sunset.

Thresholds is thrilled to announce its first event! On Sunday 23rd September from 10:00-17:00, Pullman Court, the modernist, Grade II* residential estate, will host a compelling installation of innovative female filmmakers’ short films and moving image works. Each film will be situated within the estate’s remarkable architecture, using both private homes and communal spaces opened exclusively as part of the Open House Weekend 2018.

Thresholds will explore how identity is constructed in relation to architecture, homes and domesticity, from a feminist perspective. The season aims to re-frame and foster an understanding of how spaces develop, project and limit an individual’s potential and identity. By foregrounding spaces that have historically been dismissed as female, the films, in combination with the venue, will reclaim the once-erased labour of the home, and celebrating women’s agency.

Event Details

Cleo is a young singer. She is waiting for the result of an important X-ray which will be ready at 6.30. Cleo is suddenly faced with the prospect of death. During one hour and a half, she meets her lover, a pianist, a friend, then a soldier. She walks a lot and, little by little, she opens her eyes on the world.

We know that some of our audiences want to see a broader range of films, so, alongside our usual programme, between August – October this year we’re bringing six different films to six different locations. Each film has been chosen specially by one of six members from the Screen Machine team. This is an outstanding selection of international titles spanning decades, a variety of genres and innovative filmmaking styles. We’ve delved deep into our fondest memories of cinema-going to choose films that inspire, challenge and entertain. These are films we love – we hope you’ll love them too.

All films with English subtitles. Screen Machine has wheelchair access. If you are a wheelchair user, we ask you to please call our office in advance in order that we can prepare in advance of your visit – (0131) 550 3734. We can book your ticket and arrange entry for any carer who may accompany you. For hearing aid users, we have a personal inductive neckloop facility, If you would find this facility useful, please ask the operator or usher when you arrive.

If there are titles here that you want to see but won’t get the chance, let us know! Or if you see one of the Films We Love, tell us what you think. We’ll listen to all the feedback on this project and use it to inform our future programmes. You can get in touch via email at info@regionalscreenscotland.org or via:

TOAFF18 CLOSING FILM + AUDIENCE DISCUSSION, CHARACTER/ACTOR Q&A, SHORT FILMS

Recontextualising a revolution: a unique opportunity to re-appraise the history of nonviolent resistance in Palestine from a feminist perspective.

Most images of the first Intifada are of stone-throwing Palestinian youths facing off Israeli tanks. This hopeful documentary tells the story that history overlooked, and pays tribute to the thousands of women whose grassroots organising – whether they were taking to the streets in their thousands, forming farming co-ops or community schools – was the unsung, beating heart of this spontaneous uprising.

Combining animation, exclusive archive footage and intimate, in-depth interviews with women who were on the ground in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, Naila and the Uprising sheds light on these resolute women’s sacrifices and contributions to the most vibrant nonviolent mobilisation in Palestinian history.

Event Details

A beautifully crafted, feature documentary, rich with colourful characters, and set in the iconic musical backdrop of New Orleans. In 2005 the music stopped, when one of the most deadly and destructive hurricanes in American history struck. The flood defences failed flooding the Crescent City for weeks. Lives were lost and shattered. Many displaced musicians felt compelled to return to the chaos and bleak confusion to play again. This is the story of some who made it back, told in their own words, with those who fought alongside to resuscitate the music scene; In particular the founders of The New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, a unique medical facility with the motto, ‘Keeping the music alive’.

Venue is wheelchair accessible, Screening offers free ticket for carers
