THE PROPAGANDA
GAME
A film by Alvaro Longoria
By the director of Sons of the Clouds
North Korea. The last communist country in the world.
Unknown, hermetic and fascinating.
Formerly known as “The Hermit Kingdom” for its
attempts to remain isolated, North Korea is one of the
largest sources of instability as regards to world peace.
It also has the most militarized border in the world, and
the flow of impartial information, both going in and out,
is practically non-existent. As the recent Sony-leaks has
shown, it is the perfect setting for a propaganda war.

James White
A film by Josh Mond
By the Producers of Afterschool
and Martha Marcy May MarlenE
With Christopher Abbott (Girls,
A Most Violent Year), Golden Globe Nominee
Cynthia Nixon (Sex & the City),
Scott ‘KiD CuDi’ Mescudi (Entourage) “Knockout performances by Cynthia Nixon and Girls
alumnus Christopher Abbott. James White could
be considered Mond’s Amour, albeit seen through
the eyes of a child rather than a spouse.” VARIETY
“No film at Sundance this year hit me with more
force emotionally than Josh Mond’s James White.
Devastating. Abbott is simply phenomenal here.”
Robert Ebert.com
“This extraordinarily intimate drama marks an
arresting feature debut for writer-director Josh Mond.
A viscerally acted drama whose rich visual and sonic
textures intensify the plunge into the title character’s
messy life.” The Hollywood Reporter
“Standing high above the rest of the films at Sundance
this year, Mond’s directorial debut is a must-see.
Cynthia Nixon is stunning in the role of James’
mother, generous, unselfconscious and heartbreaking.”
THE HUFFINGTON POST
“One of the standouts in this year’s Sundance selection.”
THE GUARDIAN
“The team behind Simon Killer and Martha Marcy
May Marlene deliver one from the heart. James White
visits tragically familiar material. Bracingly authentic
and unique.” LITTLE WHITE LIES
James White is a troubled twentysomething trying to
stay afloat in a frenzied New York City. As he retreats
further into a hedonistic lifestyle, his mother’s battle
with a serious illness faces a series of setbacks that
force him to assume more responsibility. With the
pressure on him mounting, James must find new
reserves of strength or risk imploding completely.

Patient, Three Colors Blue), Fabrice Luchini

Tedeschi (Munich, Human Capital, 5x2)
Summer 1910.
Several tourists have vanished while relaxing on the
beautiful beaches of the Channel Coast.
Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather
that the epicenter of these mysterious disappearances
must be Slack Bay, a unique site where the Slack river
and the sea join only at high tide.
There lives a small community of fishermen and other
oyster farmers. Among them evolves a curious family,
the Bréfort, renowned ferrymen of the Slack Bay, lead
by the father nick-named “The Eternal”, who rules as
best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, especially the impetuous Ma Loute, aged 18.
Towering high above the bay stands the Van Peteghems’
mansion. Every summer, this bourgeois family – all
degenerate and decadent from inbreeding – stagnates
in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure
hours of walking, sailing or bathing, with the ordinary
local people, Ma Loute and the other Bréforts.
Over the course of five days, as starts a peculiar love
story between Ma Loute and the young and mischievous Billie Van Peteghem, confusion and mystification
will descend on both families, shaking their convictions,
foundations and way of life.

THE DARKNESS
A film by Daniel Castro Zimbrón
With Brontis Jodorowsky
(La Danza de la Realidad)
The Earth has stopped spinning and days have stopped
passing by. One toxic, dense fog covers the forest
immersed in eternal twilight.
Argel has spent his life, with his two siblings, locked
inside the basement of an old cabin. They believe that
a wild beast wanders in the forest’s depths. When his
older brother mysteriously disappears, Argel undertakes
a quest which will cause him to break the order and
the rules with which he has grown up.
Little by little he will discover the darkest secrets and
mysteries that both his father and the forest hide.

Philippe Mars is a reasonable man in an unreasonable
world.
He’s trying to be a good father, a kind ex-husband,
a nice colleague, an understanding sibling… But the
planets have not been exactly aligned in his favor lately.
With his son turning into a hardcore vegan, his daughter
into a pathological overachiever and his sister selling
oversized paintings of their naked parents, it seems
to our ever-so prudent Philippe that everyone around
him is starting to behave more and more erratically…
When his colleague (who also accidentally tried to
chop off his ear in a fit of misplaced anger) moves into
Philippe’s apartment, things start to go from bad to
insane for our hero.

Marguerite
A film by Xavier Giannoli
By the director of The Singer (Cannes 2006

With Catherine Frot (Haute Cuisine,
The Page Turner), André Marcon (Me,
Myself and Mum, On the Other Side of the Tracks),
Michel Fau (Cyrano de Bergerac, Harry,
He’s Here to Help, Swimming Pool) and Christa
Théret (The Man who Laughs, Renoir)
1921, the beginning of the Golden Twenties. Not far
from Paris.
It is party day at Marguerite Dumont’s castle. Like every
year, an array of music lovers gathers around a great
cause at the owner’s place. Nobody knows much about
this woman except that she is rich and that her whole
life is devoted to her passion: music. Marguerite sings.
She sings wholeheartedly, but she sings terribly out of
tune. In ways quite similar to the Castafiore, Marguerite
has been living her passion in her own bubble, and the
hypocrite audience, always coming in for a good laugh,
acts as if she was the diva she believes she is.
When a young, provocative journalist decides to write a
rave article on her latest performance, Marguerite starts
to believe even further in her talent. This gives her the
courage she needs to follow her dream. Despite her
husband’s reluctance, and with the help of a has-been
divo, both funny and mean, she decides to train for her
first recital in front of a crowd of complete strangers.

Poland | 2015 | 90 min | Polish
“A quirky, intriguing drama with supernatural overtones sees
Polish director Malgorzata Szumowska shift into an unexpected,
and refreshing, darkly comic mode. ‘Body’ is fresh and original.”
SCREENDAILY
“A darkly comic rumination on what it means to be alive.” VARIETY
“Szumowska employs her clever writing and camera work
in a new intense human subject: the body as a link between
the soul and the world.” CINEUROPA
“Performances are strong from all three principals, and promising
newcomer Suwala is especially memorable.” THE HOLLYWOOD
REPORTER
A pair of ten-year-olds discover an abandoned cop car in a field. When
they take it for a joyride they don’t know that a small town sheriff will
soon be on their trail to recover his car — and what’s inside its trunk…
The kids find themselves in the center of a deadly game of cat and
mouse and the only way out is to go as fast as their stolen cop car
can take them.
Produced by AUDAX FILMS, PARK PICTURES (INFINITELY POLAR BEAR,
ROBOT & FRANK) AND DARK ARTS FILMS
USA | 2015 | 85 min | English
“A tight, easily marketable genre exercise that pushes its lean
premise and all-around disrespect for authority to entertaining
extremes.” VARIETY
“The brisk 86 minutes fly by, keeping the story as lean and
efficient as possible. The premise delivers on its entertaining
potential with plenty of thrilling and often very funny surprises.”
INDIEWIRE
“Kevin Bacon, sporting a creepy moustache, is great, and both
boys give strong, naturalistic performances. Cop Car also marks
Watts as a director to watch.” THE GUARDIAN
“This film stands with the best of Americana independent genre films
like Mud, Shotgun Stories, Badlands and Blue Ruin as well as the best
of early Spielberg. An instant Americana genre film classic.” SOUND
ON SIGHT
“A cult classic waiting to happen. Cop Car is a damn awesome movie.”
