A COMPLETE HISTORY OF MY SEXUAL FAILURES/CANDID CAMER

This is a fun and dangerous concept: Track down and chat with old girlfriends to find out what went wrong. Add in a hero for whom the term "slacker" might have been invented and the story becomes surprisingly revealing as well.

Full review: http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/a-complete-history-of-my-sexual-failures-candid-camera.html

THE REST IS SILENCE + NAE CARANFIL

The Rest Is Silence comes like a breath of fresh air at a time when it’s easy to assume that currently ‘hot’ Romanian cinema is all grungy, DV-shot, miserabilist dramas. Writer-director Nae Caranfil’s lively, witty widescreen costume picture, about the making of Romania’s first feature-length movie (The Independence of Romania, 1912), is an intelligent crowd-pleaser made with affection for its characters and era. Caranfil, has fictionalised the characters but remained broadly true to actual events. The central character is Grigore Ursache (Marius Florea Vizante), the son of a well-known theatre actor who’s obsessed with making “the longest film ever produced” and joins a nascent film academy run by a rich, half-mad boyar. The film takes a while to get down to business, but it’s time well spent with the characters. With the acting cranked up a notch, and the whole film shot in saturated, ochre colours, Caranfil shoots for a big, widescreen entertainment that generally hits the mark.
We are delighted that director Nae Caranfil and leading actor Marius Florea Vizante will be present to introduce their film and answer questions after the screening.

WMM ACQUIRES THE SARI SOLDIERS | NEW RELEASES SHOWCASED AT HRWIFF



WMM has acquired
THE SARI SOLDIERS by filmmaker Julie Bridgham, recipient of the 2008 Human Rights Watch International Film Festival (HRWIFF) Nestor Almendros Award for courage and commitment in filmmaking. The riveting documentary will make its North American debut as the festival centerpiece. Filmed during Nepal's transition from dictatorial monarchy to fledgling democracy, THE SARI SOLDIERS is the extraordinary story of six women and their conflicting efforts to shape the political future of their country.
A festival opening night selection,
TO SEE IF I'M SMILING, winner of the Silver Wolf and Audience awards at The International Documentary Film Festival, Amsterdam (IDFA) and the Special Jury Prize at Hot Docs, profiles six Israeli women as they wrestle with memories they would rather erase of their compulsory military service. HRWIFF will also present Sundance Special Jury Prize for Documentary winner, THE GREATEST SILENCE: RAPE IN THE CONGO. In addition, the festival will screen acclaimed cinematographer Ellen Kuras and co-director Thavisouk Phrasavath's The Betrayal (Nerakhoon), which was produced with support from the WMM Production Assistance Program.
