JULY
2008 - 26th FILMFEST MÜNCHEN
•••This
year's FILMFEST MÜNCHEN FILMFEST MÜNCHEN
will be taking place June 20-28, Munich will be the
site of Germany's sunniest film
festival.
Some of this
year's highlights include:
•Central
Revisited
•••We
will be focusing on the heart of Europe this year,
on new films from Poland, the Czech Republic,
Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as
Serbia-Montenegro - films that will contrast old
clichés and new prejudices with the actual
realities of these societies today.
•Cinema
québecois
•••Another
exciting film region we are spotlighting is
Québec. The culturally and linguistically
independent Canadian province has been producing
innovative films for years that are increasingly
popular far beyond Québec‚s borders.
The success of films like SEDUCING DR. LEWIS (2003)
and THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS, which won an Oscar in
2004, are no longer a surprise. They are the
logical consequence of the enormous creative
potential in Québec's film capital,
Montreal. We are presenting six films from
Québec.
•Makhmalbaf
Retrospective
•••Director
Mohsen Makhmalbaf has single-handedly changed the
cinema of Iran with his poetic yet realistic film
parables. He has demonstrated, under various
administrations, that making oppositional as well
as esthetically innovative films can not only be
done but that the films can receive international
acclaim as wells as causing problems for the
director with government censors. His last two
films, however, could not be made in Iran and he
sees no possibility of continuing his work there
because of the present political situation. He
emigrated to Paris with the entire Makhmalbaf Film
House, which includes his wife Marziyeh Meshkini,
his daughters Samira and Hana, and his son Maysam -
an entire family of filmmakers in exile. Filmfest
München will be screening all available films
of the Makhmalbaf Film House and all members of the
family will be present. It is the first time that
films of the entire family will be screened at one
venue.
•Mike
Figgis - Retrospective
•••We
are also honoring the cinematic work of British
director, writer and musician Mike Figgis with a
retrospective. Since his feature film debut
with
STORMY
MONDAY (1988), Figgis has constantly expanded
the borders of filmmaking. After his Academy
Award-winning LEAVING LAS VEGAS, Figgis has
continued to develop innovative forms of
storytelling which have a great influence on
contemporary cinema. Mike Figgis will be in Munich
as a guest of the Filmfest.
•CineMerit
Award 2006 ˆ Barry Levinson
•••His
very first film, DINER, was a sensation and rightly
so. The native Marylander soon established himself
as one of Hollywood's most creative and versatile
directors. An Oscar-winner (for RAIN MAN in 1989),
he seems to combine artistic excellence and
commercial success with relative ease. There are
not many directors who have made over a half dozens
films that were popular with both audiences and
critics.
•••
GOOD MORNING,
VIETNAM and TIN MEN (1987), AVALON (1990),
DISCLOSURE (1994), SLEEPERS (1996), WAG THE DOG
(1997), to mention a few, are among the most
interesting films produced in Hollywood in the last
25 years. We are proud to announce that Barry
Levinson will be in Munich to receive Filmfest
München's CineMerit Award for his
extraordinary contributions to motion pictures as
an art form.
•••The
roughly 200 films that we will be showing in 2006
will be arranged in the sections that have
traditionally made up our program: International
Program, New German Cinema, German TV Movies,
Silent Classic, Open Air, Nouveau Cinéma
Français, American Independents and the
Kinderfilmfest.
•The
theme of this year's Open Air screenings on the
terrace of the Gasteig festival center is: Movie
Pirates!
•••We'll
be showing classic pirate movies like THE CRIMSON
PIRATE but also more arcane jewels of the
genre.
•Filmfest's Movie Mile runs from the RIO
Filmpalast past Gasteig (the festival center), the
Museum Lichtspiele, and the MaxX Cineplex all the
way to Munich's Filmmuseum.
•The Press Center (with computer work
stations) is located in the Glass Hall on the upper
level of the Gasteig festival center (Rosenheimer
Str. 5).
•We will continue to provide you with updated
information on the program and guests. Press
conferences will be held on June 12 in the
Vortragssaal der Bibliothek in Gasteig (the
festival center) and on July 6 in the Filmmuseum.
Invitations will be sent out separately. As of June
22 the complete program will be available on our
website. The catalog will be available as of July
8. Starting July 3, tickets can be purchased
online. Advance ticket sales begin on July 8 at the
box office in the Gasteig festival center.
