DUKE OF YORK'S
Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and
screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga's third film BABEL,
is part of a loose trilogy folllowing AMORES PERROS
and 21 GRAMS. They all deal with the consequences
of random fateful acts, this time on a global level.
In Morocco two farm boys test out a rifle given
them to protect the family's goats. The bullet they
fire hits a tourist bus travelling down a dusty road
in the distance. Inside are two American tourists
(Pitt and Blanchett) on holiday whilst they try to
come to terms with the loss of a child. Back in
America their two children are being looked after by
a Mexican nanny. After failing to make alternative
child care arrangements the nanny decides to
take the children across the border with her in
order to attend a family wedding, accompanied by
her hot-headed nephew (Gael Garcia Bernal).
In Tokyo a rebellious deaf-mute teenager is
struggling to come to terms with the loss of her
mother and her failing relationship with her father.
BABEL deals with the personal, social and political
effects of the inability to communicate. Strong and
naturalistic performances from both the known
and unknown cast allows the film to carry the
weight of its message, whilst cinematographer
Roberto Prieto who worked previously with
Inarritu on AMORES PEROS and 21 GRAMS
gives the film its distinctive look and feel.

Documentarist Nick Broomfield's
second fiction feature is amongst the
most poignant and impressive of his
long career. Imbued with his trademark
interest in human rights issues, the
film is a dramatized account of the
events leading up to February 2004,
when 21 Chinese workers lost their
lives after being cut off by tides while
picking cockles in Morecambe Bay.
Filming only began after exhaustive
research (including visits to the
province in China from where many
of the workers originated) and the
Guardian articles by journalist Hsiao-
Hung Pai formed the inspiration for
a film which directly addresses the
circumstances that put these workers
in a position where they risked their
lives for pennies. An authentic, vital
and timely work, GHOSTS bristles with
Broomfield's trademark conviction.

This new feature from the
director, creator and star of
glorious musical HEDWIG AND
THE ANGRY INCH is a candid
and sexually explicit dramatic
exploration of the intimate side
of hip New Yorkers' lives. Among
other characters, the film offers a
sex therapist who fakes orgasms,
a dominatrix with connection
problems and a gay couple debating
making their relationship more
open. Despite both its overall
focus on the carnal, there is an
underlying investigation of the real
emotional issues at risk within the
characters' lives, giving the film
warmth and a strong core. With
some formidable performances,
as well as nice touches like an
animated 3-D cityscape plus a
cool soundtrack, SHORTBUS is
inventive, different and fun.

The debut feature from Williams, LONDON
TO BRIGHTON depicts 24 hours in the life of
a prostitute (Stanley) and a young runaway
(Groome), fleeing to Brighton in a desperate
attempt to save their own lives after they fall
foul of a London crime lord. A film of remarkable
assurance, it makes astonishing use of littleknown
actors, drawing performances of utter
conviction. Perhaps most impressively, it
manages to avoid the clichés of the British crime
thriller, creating a chilling realistic world of petty
crime, sexual depravity and violence. In this
portrait that is never squalid, viewers will draw
inspiration from the two young heroines clinging
together. Williams is undoubtedly a talent to
watch.

An exploration of the global coffee industry from
directors Marc and Nick Francis. Multinational
coffee companies now rule our shopping
malls and supermarkets and dominate the
industry worth over $80 billion, making coffee
the most valuable trading commodity in the
world after oil. But while we continue to pay
for our lattes and cappuccinos, the price paid
to coffee farmers remains so low that many
have been forced to abandon their coffee
fields. Nowhere is this paradox more evident
than in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee.
Tadesse Meskela is one man on a mission to
save his 74,000 struggling coffee farmers from
bankruptcy and travels the world in an attempt
to find buyers willing to pay a fair price.

Veteran Czech surrealist Jan Svankmajer
(LITTLE OTIK, FAUST) returns with a black
comedy exploring madness, sanity and taboo,
loosely based on two short stories by Edgar
Allan Poe and the life of Marquis de Sade. At a
remote inn, the central character Jean Berlot
meets a stranger known only as the Marquis.
With assorted body parts running wild to
the sound of a barrel organ and tongues
crawling across the screen, Svankmajer's
unique animation style intercut with the
live action takes the film onto another level.
Svankmajer himself describes LUNACY
as a 'philosophical horror story'.

Pollack and Gehry have been friends for

Selected for competition at this year's Cannes
Film Festival, BUENOS AIRES 77 is an intense and
gripping thriller based on true events. Set during
the 1970s military dictatorship in Argentina the
story is inspired by the memoir of professional
goalkeeper Claudio Tamburrini, who was
kidnapped before a match and falsely accused of
anti-government activity. Taken to an abandoned
villa outside of Buenos Aires, Tamburrini was held
and brutally tortured by the military police until he
and two other captives staged a daring escape.
Hugely successful in its home territory, director
Caetano successfully uses the edge-of-the-seat
thriller format to explore the chilling backdrop
to the film, the reality of which involved some
30,000 people 'disappearing' during the regime.

Set in a beautiful snowy landscape on the shores
of Canada's Lake Superior, SNOW CAKE is a
story of love and friendship and an unorthodox
relationship between a man escaping his
past, an autistic mother coping with the loss
of her daughter and a passionate woman who
keeps love at arm's length. The film ultimately
thrives on contrasts: Alex's (Alan Rickman)
reserved stillness versus Linda's (Sigourney
Weaver) uninhibited movement; the austere
cleanliness of Linda's house verses the snow
she likes to eat from her sunny yard; and the
survival of her unusual lifestyle amidst the
town's more conventional citizenry. The intimate
SNOW CAKE combines childlike wonder with
matters of life and death to surprising effect.
Followed by a Q&A with Angela Pell and

impressive talents of Owen Roe and Michele

Director Stuart Gordon makes an impressive
move from the cult horror of RE-ANIMATOR
and FROM BEYOND to tackle this urban thriller,
adapted by David Mamet from his early play.
The pair's relationship, building on Gordon's
successful direction for the world stage
premiere of Sexual Perversity in Chicago, is
again fruitful, the film having already caused
a stir at festivals earlier in the year. William H
Macy is impressive in the lead role, recalling
his powerful performance in MAGNOLIA, as
the middle-aged, white-collar Edmond who
walks out on his marriage in an existential
frenzy and sets off on a personal journey that
descends into a world of prostitution, racism
and violence. Darkly funny and powerfully
dramatic, EDMOND has an engaging and edgy
atmosphere, as well as great performances
from a star-studded supporting cast.

Egoyan's newest film charts a personal journey
undertaken with wife, Arsinée Khanjian, and son
to Arsinée's Lebanese homeland. An apparent
home movie shot on mini DV that focuses on the
shifting identities of contemporary Beirut and
Egoyan's own family dynamics, CITADEL raises
questions that will be familiar to followers of
Egoyan's work: how and why does the past linger,
and how does access to digital observation
mediate our lives? CITADEL is a barrage of
history, family events and 'found' images and
being an Egoyan film, nothing is what it seems.
In giving his permission for this screening,
Egoyan has encouraged CINECITY to convey that
CITADEL was shot well before the current crisis,
and offers a subjective view of the country, with
no claims to accuracy. In an age in which the
media is fixated on the conveying of 'real life',
CITADEL is a provocative and playfully selfreferential

adaptation of the Anglo-Saxon epic poem.
Beowulf, a battle-weary Norse warrior sets off
to rid the land of a murderous troll, Grendel.
However, he soon discovers that Grendel is
no beast, but has been driven to vengeful
acts because of the King's wrong-doings. Set
at the point when Christianity was beginning
to filter into the barbarous north of Europe,
Beowulf finds himself caught between loyalty
and vengeance. Filmed on location in the wilds

queen. She bears witness to the changes in
Shanghai over the decades, her intimate personal

The lives of Polish youth today are explored in this
triptych of short films by three graduate writerdirectors
from the Lodz film school. Trapped
between an Iron Curtain past and an uncertain
future, the three films become linked when the
protagonists all board a bus headed for London.
The lure of emigration - especially from Poland to
the UK- is topically at the heart of the film. In the
first part SILESIA, a young woman returns home
from London hoping to re-settle but is frustrated
by an industrial landscape torn by conflict. In
WARSAW a young rapper's hopes and ambitions
are thwarted, and finally in POMERANIA a young
man returns to his coastal town, where the
limited out-look of his parents and the lack of a
good wage make it impossible for him to stay.

Set in the distant past in Australia's far northern
Arnhem Land, TEN CANOES vividly brings
Aboriginal culture to the fore with style and
humour. Narrated by David Gulpilil (RABBIT
PROOF FENCE, THE PROPOSITION) the story is a
fairly simple one of forbidden love, but its relative
simplicity is fleshed out with narrative offshoots
cutting back and forward across time in an ageold
examination of what it takes to reach maturity.
A festival hit at both Cannes and Venice, the film
is sumptuously photographed with the majestic
landscape being as much a main-player in the
film as the cast. Director Rolf de Heer (BAD BOY
BUBBY) succeeds in presenting an authentic
yet beguiling examination of an ancient culture.

BLACK BOOK is Paul Verhoeven's first film
made in his native Netherlands for twenty
years. An action-packed World War II drama,
BLACK BOOK has all the high production values
of Verhoeven's Hollywood movies (e.g TOTAL
RECALL, BASIC INSTINCT) with the keen
intelligence of his earlier European films. Set in
German-occupied Holland towards the end of
the war, the film follows the fortunes of Rachel
(Carice van Houten) a young Jewish woman.
Attempting to escape the Nazis leads her into
resistance work before embarking on an affair
with a German officer. Epic in scale, the
film excels in capturing the war action but is also
a drama packing a considerable emotional punch.

director Terry Zwigoff and graphic novelist
Daniel Clowes' ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL
occupies the fringe world of the disaffected

suburban home for an East Coast Art School
with the aim of conquering the 21st century art
world by emulating his hero Picasso. Arriving on
campus, he finds his ambitions and influences
out of step with the trendy art world. Jerome is
further disappointed when he falls for the pretty
life model Audrey (Sophie Myles) but loses
her to a rival. Zwigoff's and Clowes' caustic
humour permeates the film and at times ART
SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL's darkness brings to

Part Travelogue, part home-movie but at the
same time so much more, GALLIVANT is the
result of Kötting's coastal road trip taken in the
company of his ninety year old grandmother,
Gladys, and nine year old daughter, Eden. What
is perhaps most striking is Kötting's openness
in his approach to both style and material.
Following 6000 miles of coast around England,
Wales and Scotland, GALLIVANT is at once a
history lesson, a picture of modern day Britain,
a celebration of life's eccentricities and a
discourse on mortality - Gladys is aging whilst
Eden suffers from Joubert Syndrome. Visually
remarkable, Kötting's photography captures
with equal brilliance the utterly garish and
breathtakingly beautiful. The film never fails to be
surprising and its emotional depth and poignancy
is contrasted with an essential upbeat core.

Godard originally wanted to call this film ONE
PLUS ONE, but after being given the chance to film
The Rolling Stones in the studio for their Beggars
Banquet album, the project metamorphosed
from its perhaps more straightforward polemical
background and gained a new title. The initial
thought remains with the film, however, in the duality
of its content, which presents 'one' - long, flowing
takes intimately catching the recording process
of the infamous, epic Sympathy For The Devil and
'plus one' - staged scenes offering radical political
comment on the racism, fascism and revolutionary
youth spirit of the era. Stylistically comparable to
the formal experimentation of LA CHINOISE and
WEEK-END, SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL is classic
anti-establishment Godard and also an exciting insight
into both The Rolling Stones and the creative process.

Pablo Aravena's documentary is a multi-sensory
exploration of graffiti, drawing, murals and graphic
design, intrinsically linked to the culture and
lifestyle of hip-hop. It is the art of the street and

documenting its different forms. Upbeat hip-hop
sounds accompany a history from the Brooklyn
streets, as many artists discuss and show their
work, as well as the thrill and dangers involved. But
