SILVER BEAR BEST DIRECTOR 2017 BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL HHHH! “A gently romantic film.”—Dave Calhoun, TIME OUT LONDON “Quietly remarkable…A British Brokeback Mountain, but better.”—Jude Dry, INDIEWIRE “Beneath the grey veneer of rural realism, this is a magical film, one of the best you’ll see this year.”—Tara Brady, IRISH TIMES

Johnny Saxby (Josh O’Connor) works long hours in brutal isolation on his family’s remote sheep farm in the north of England. He deadens the daily frustration of his lonely existence with nightly binge-drinking at the local pub and joyless sex with other men. When a handsome Romanian migrant worker (Alec Secareanu) arrives to take up temporary work on the family farm, Johnny suddenly finds himself having to deal with emotions he has never felt before. An intense relationship forms between the two which could change Johnny forever, teaching him how to welcome tenderness and vulnerability into his life. At times reminiscent of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, GOD’S OWN COUNTRY is a unique and powerful story of repression and love. Winner of the Directing Award for World Cinema (Drama) at the Sundance Film Festival, as well as the Audience Award for Best Feature at the Frameline San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival. Gemma Jones and Ian Hart co-star. Written and directed by Francis Lee. (UK, 2017)

HHHH! “A deeply humane film, as well as a quietly hilarious one.” —Dave Calhoun, TIME OUT LONDON HHHHH! “Screamingly funny…simply sublime.”—Allan Hunter, THE LIST “This delightful comic fable expresses a belief in human decency…that feels wise and hopeful rather than naïve.”– Justin Chang, LOS ANGELES TIMES

This wry, melancholic comedy from Finnish legend Aki Kaurismäki (THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST, LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA), a clear-eyed response to the current refugee crisis, follows two people searching for a place to call home. Displaced Syrian Khaled (Sherwan Haji) lands in Helsinki as a stowaway; meanwhile, middle-aged shirt salesman Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen) abruptly leaves his prickly wife and unfulfilling job and buys a conspicuously unprofitable seafood restaurant, which he tries to turn into a success with a hilarious series of culinary re-inventions. After Khaled is denied asylum, he decides not to return to Aleppo, staying on illegally in Helsinki—and the paths of the two men cross fortuitously, with unexpected results. As deadpan as the best of the director’s work, and with a deep well of empathy for its down-but-not-out characters (many of them played by members of Kaurismäki’s ever-reliable stock company), THE OTHER SIDE OF HOPE is a bittersweet tale of human kindness in the face of official indifference. Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 2017 Berlin International Film Festival. (Finland/Germany, 2017)

GRAND JURY PRIZE QUEER PALM 2017 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

“Compellingly combines elegy, tragedy, urgency and a defiant euphoria…This film has what its title implies: a heartbeat. It is full of cinematic life.”—Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN “Sexy, insightful, profoundly humane...A sprawling, thrilling, finally heart-bursting group portrait of Parisian AIDS activists in the early 1990s.”—Guy Lodge, VARIETY

BPM (BEATS PER MINUTE) is set in the early 1990s, when AIDS has already claimed countless lives for nearly ten years. The Paris branch of the activist group ACT UP meets weekly to debate strategy in their fight against government and big pharma indifference, trying to force them to speed up development and distribution of AIDS treatments. Driven by a sense of life-and-death urgency, their tactics include invading posh corporate offices and throwing fake blood over everything. Though frequently disagreeing, the group is a close-knit band of comrades, including radicals, those who favor more conservative approaches, a middle-aged mother of an HIV-positive teenage son, and even one HIV-negative man. Nathan (Arnaud Valois), a shy newcomer to the group, has his world shaken up by outspokenly flamboyant Sean (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart), a radical militant. Funny and erotic at times, BPM is heartbreaking and inspiring, told with riveting urgency. Co-starring Adèle Haenel. Winner of 4 Awards at the Cannes Film Festival, including the Grand Jury Prize. France’s Official Selection for Best Foreign Language Film consideration at the 90th Academy Awards. Directed and co-written by Robin Campillo (EASTERN BOYS, co-writer of THE CLASS and TIME OUT).

AUDIENCE AWARD BEST FEATURE 2017 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL

“Vibrant…A beautifully rendered work of animation that tells a powerful story.” —Steve Pond, THE WRAP “Twomey animates [Parvana’s storytelling] as though cut paper, a gorgeously playful complement to the exquisite cell drawings of the whole.” —Jared Mobarak, THE FILM STAGE

From executive producer Angelina Jolie and Cartoon Saloon, creators of the Academy Award-nominated THE SECRET OF KELLS and SONG OF THE SEA, comes the wonderful new animated feature based on Deborah Ellis’ award-winning novel. THE BREADWINNER tells the story of Parvana (voice of Saara Chaudry), an 11-year-old girl growing up under the harsh rule of the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. She helps her father Nurullah, a storyteller, in the marketplace in Kabul, but they draw the disapproving attention of a Taliban soldier and Nurullah is arrested. With her family facing starvation, Parvana cuts her hair and dresses as a boy to go out and look for work, risking discovery to try to find out if her father is still alive. Honoring her father, Parvana makes up stories of a magical quest to entertain her little brother, stories that become intertwined with her real life adventures. The gorgeously colored animation is a visual delight. Directed by Nora Twomey, co-director of THE SECRET OF KELLS. In English. (Canada/Ireland/Luxembourg, 2017) thebreadwinner.com

“An unexpected delight.”—Ren Jender, THE VILLAGE VOICE “A mainstream crowd-pleaser adept at inspiring and amusing in equal measure.” —Nick Schager, VARIETY “Massively entertaining…A funny, tear jerking, heartwarming movie in the best Hollywood narrative tradition.”—Paul Weissman, FILM-FORWARD

Winner of the Audience Award for Best Narrative Film at the Tribeca Film Festival, THE DIVINE ORDER is set in Switzerland in 1971 where, despite the worldwide social upheavals of the previous decade, women are still denied the right to vote. Unassuming and dutiful housewife Nora (Marie Leuenberger, Best Actress award winner at Tribeca) lives in a small Alpine town; she loves her husband and their two boys, but she is bored stiff washing socks. When she tells her husband that she would like to get a part-time job he forbids it—and has the legal right to!—causing her to take an interest in the women’s suffrage movement. Reluctantly becoming the local leader of the cause brings her scorn, threats and friction in her marriage. But refusing to back down, Nora convinces the women of her town to go on strike...and makes a few startling discoveries about her own liberation. Hilarious, uplifting and crowd-pleasing, this captivating film is a time-capsule that could not be more timely. Switzerland’s Official Selection for Best Foreign Language Film consideration at the 90th Academy Awards. Written and directed by Petra Volpe.

Darkest Hour

COMING IN DECEMBER

NOVEMBER 10, 2017 – JANUARY 11, 2018

SAN DIEGO FILMCALENDAR “Kate Winslet is stunning in Woody Allen’s gorgeous ‘50s romance.”—INDIEWIRE “The most beautiful film Woody Allen has made in years thanks to Vittorio Storaro’s exquisite lighting.”—Graham Fuller, SCREEN DAILY “There are moments in Wonder Wheel that color in the characters’ experiences in a way that can leave you breathless.”—Owen Gleiberman, VARIETY

Written and directed by Woody Allen, WONDER WHEEL tells the story of four characters whose lives intertwine amid the hustle and bustle of the Coney Island amusement park in the 1950s, in the shadow of the giant ferris wheel: Ginny (Kate Winslet), an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress in a clam house, beaten down but still dreaming of a better life; Humpty (Jim Belushi), Ginny’s rough-hewn carousel operator husband, who loves but doesn’t understand his wife; Mickey (Justin Timberlake), a handsome, young and incurably romantic lifeguard hoping to become a significant playwright; and Carolina (Juno Temple), Humpty’s long-estranged daughter, broke and now desperately hiding out from gangsters at her father’s apartment. Poetically photographed by legendary cinematographer Vittorio Storaro (CAFÉ SOCIETY, THE LAST EMPEROR, APOCALYPSE NOW), WONDER WHEEL is a powerful dramatic tale of passion, violence, jealousy and betrayal that plays out against the picturesque tableau of 1950s Coney Island. (USA, 2017)

“Gary Oldman is terrific as Churchill! This is not so much a period war movie as a highoctane political thriller.”—Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN “One of the year’s very best movies! Darkest Hour is a rousing, monumental cinematic achievement.”—Scott Mantz, ACCESS HOLLYWOOD

Gary Oldman (Academy Award nominee for TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY) gives a masterful, gripping performance as Winston Churchill, leading his country in its darkest hour. In the early days of World War II, with the fall of France imminent and the Allied army cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk as the seemingly unstoppable Nazi forces advance, the fate of Western Europe hangs on the leadership of the newly-appointed Prime Minister Churchill. While maneuvering his political rivals, he must confront the ultimate choice: negotiate a peace with Hitler and save the British people at a terrible cost or try to rally the nation and fight on against incredible odds. DARKEST HOUR is the dramatic and inspiring story of four weeks in 1940 during which Churchill’s courage to lead changed the course of world history. Written by Anthony McCarten (THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING) and directed by Joe Wright (ATONEMENT, HANNA, PRIDE & PREJUDICE), the biographical drama also stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James, Stephen Dillane, Ronald Pickup and Ben Mendelsohn. (UK, 2017)

Master storyteller Guillermo del Toro (PAN’S LABYRINTH, CRIMSON PEAK, HELLBOY) casts an other-worldly spell with THE SHAPE OF WATER, an imaginative fairy tale set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1962. In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works as a cleaner, mute Elisa (Sally Hawkins, BLUE JASMINE, MAUDIE) is trapped in a life of lonely isolation. Elisa’s life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer, HIDDEN FIGURES, THE HELP) discover a secret classified experiment. Visually dazzling and emotionally daring, THE SHAPE OF WATER merges the pathos and thrills of the classic monster movie tradition with shadowy film noir, stirring in the heat of a love story like no other to explore the fantasies we all flirt with, the mysteries we can’t control and the monstrosities we must confront. Also starring Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Doug Jones and Michael Stuhlbarg. (USA, 2017)
