“Marco”, la película de Aitor Arregi y Jon Garaño, tendrá su estreno mundial en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Venecia, donde competirá en la sección Orizzonti.
Basada en una historia real, “Marco” sigue a Enric Marco, un deportado que nunca existió. Un hombre que durante años fue capaz de mantener, ante la opinión pública y su propia familia, una mentira difícil de imaginar: que había sido prisionero en un campo de concentración nazi. Carismático y convincente, Marco ascendió a la presidencia de la Asociación Española de Víctimas del Holocausto, donde se convirtió en una figura destacada y admirada por su supuesta valentía y sufrimiento. Hasta que un día un historiador descubre que su relato es completamente falso.

“Ane Is Missing,” the feature debut of Spain’s David Pérez Sanudo, begins with a fixed shot of a woman security guard sitting in a hut on a construction site. For a full 45 seconds absolutely nothing happens until a firebomb suddenly flares outside the hut. Lide, the security guard, grabs a fire extinguisher. Later, having picked up a far younger man in bar, she returns home and in another extended, two-and-a half-minute shot, the camera creeps round her apartment, building like a horror film as Lide discovers that her teen daughter, Ane, has not spent a night at home.
From there on, Lide sets out with her ex-husband to find Ane, discovering that she knows very little about her daughter, as her life and the public context of increasingly violent protest against a high-speed-train project for which Lide works increasingly collide.

Often, the life of a flight attendant is thought to be pretty great. Sure, you have to act as a server while on the actual flights, dealing with idiot guests, crying babies, and disgusting messes. But the perk is pretty great, as you are able to travel all around the country, or even internationally. That said, the life of a flight attendant might also include murder, as seen in the upcoming HBO Max thriller series, aptly titled, “The Flight Attendant.”

"There's something about this summer that brings the past back to life..." Vertical has released an official trailer for The Giant, a murder mystery thriller that initially premiered at last year's Toronto Film Festival. Odessa Young stars as a teenager about to graduate in a small town, whose life is changed forever when a series of murders begin on the same night that her missing boyfriend suddenly reappears. "Charlotte gets the unshakeable feeling that somehow it is coming for her – in ways more troubling than she could ever know." Also stars Ben Schnetzer, Jack Kilmer, Madelyn Cline, Danny Ramirez, and Pj Marshall. There's tons of dark, grainy, close-ups in this - which is annoying but it's a style choice. I'm most intrigued by the evil force, and that shot in the rain because it is a terrifying shot. Horror fans need to check this out. Here's the first official trailer...

This Danish/Swedish co-production from writer/director Johannes Nyholm (The Giant) tells the tale of Tobias and Elin; a thirty-something couple who stumble upon a troupe of art/circus weirdos while on a camping trip. Led by a shifty, white suit wearing sideshow artist with two dogs (one dead), the freaks beleaguer and torture the couple. Tobias and Elin then find themselves locked in a perpetual time-loop while trying to escape, so must find a way to evade the weirdos then disentangle themselves from the alternative realities.
Writer/director Nyholm brilliantly balances gnarly drama and austere surrealism; hurling tar dark humour, camp-site/invasion/circus horror and Dali/Bunuel-like lunacy into the cine-broth to make a gloopy, befuddling yet tantalising nightmare. But Koko-Di Koko-Da is not without its fissures. The story dawdles due to self-imposed structural limitations (because of the loop) which results in it slumping into a stultifying lull.

Places, objects, sounds, and smells each retain shimmers of memory we long to hold and struggle to forget. This is what’s happened to Charlotte’s (Odessa Young) childhood home—the place where her mother took her own life. Whether she hasn’t thought of it in a long time or it’s all she ever thinks about, this moment right now sees it taking control of her senses and refusing to let go. The lights in these nightmares extend out in a hazy blur, everything so much bigger and mesmerizingly essential due to the weight of the pain wrought within. This building is the death of her mother, but the town where she still resides is the death of her youth. As graduation and escape looms, everything good suddenly begins to decay.

First-time feature director-writer-editor David Raboy certainly knows how to conjure up an atmosphere. Expanding his own short of the same title, Raboy’s elliptical psychological thriller “The Giant” gives us the story of a small Southern town beset by a killing spree, yet his real interest is in the constant changes in barometric pressure: the heaviness of the sticky, buggy Georgia air; the gathering storm that builds and builds just over the horizon for the entirety of the film. But he lays the atmosphere on so think that it threatens to suffocate everything within, and the film holds its audience at such a remove that eventually you stop trying to connect.
Containing little in the way of linear plot, “The Giant” is always willing to leave its viewers in the dark, often quite literally: much of the film (shot on 35 mm by Eric Yue) takes place in grainy darkness, and...

Madrid — The San Sebastian Intl. Film Festival announced at a press conference on Tuesday morning the fourteen projects selected to participate in this year’s Kutxabank New Directors section at the northern Spanish festival.
Of the participating films, eight are debuts and six are second works, three of the latter from semi-new filmmakers who previously participated in New Directors with their debut features. Notably, this year’s selection includes eight films from nine women filmmakers, a statistic which challenges the selections made by other, similarly-profiled festivals in their competition selections.
The number of returning directors suggests a usefulness of participating in the section. New Directors consolidated as the festival’s major sidebar, whose world premieres often go on to have a vigorous festival circuit career and break out at times to notable foreign territory sales.

So, to point out the obvious right now, I’m a rather big fan of professional wrestling. Yep, the world of spandex, drama, clotheslines and bodyslams has been part of my life for over 26 years. I guess some things in life change, but some things stay the same. My love for wrestling has remained throughout the years. When I first started watching wrestling it was obvious who were the big stars in the business, which guys were featured in the big roles, and which were the bigger names, larger than life, top of the card, front of the VHS cover. Hulk Hogan. “Macho Man” Randy Savage. The Ultimate Warrior. Andre the Giant. Back in 1992, when I began watching, Andre was pretty much finished as an in-ring worker, but his presence was still present, the aftershock of his run was still felt by the business, the fans and the wrestlers he’d worked beside.

Swedish filmmaker Johannes Nyholm jumped into the limelight of the international arthouse circuit with both feet, sweeping audiences and awards with his feature debut The Giant. It was a touching dramedy, absolved of sentimentality, about an autistic boy separated from his mother and convinced that winning the Scandinavian Championship of pétangue will win her back. A very mature offering, wherein Nyholm capitalized on his previous formalistic experiences and the unconventional storytelling of The Giant, combining the inside and outside worlds of the protagonist, earned Nyholm a rising-filmmaker-to-follow spot. The expectations revolving around his latest project proved to be high, since his sophomore feature Koko-di Koko-da screened at Sundance, Rotterdam and Goteborg film festivals in quick succession. Koko-di Koko-da, the title taken from a nursery rhyme...

Swedish filmmaker Johannes Nyholm’s “Koko-Di Koko-Da,” which is competing at the Sundance Film Festival, has been acquired by U.K. distribution company Picturehouse.
Represented in international markets by Paris-based banner Stray Dogs, “Koko-Di Koko-Da” had its U.S. premiere at Sundance on Friday in the World Dramatic Competition selection and played to a packed audience.
“Koko-di Koko-da” follows a couple who goes on a trip to find their way back to each other a few years after the tragic death of their only child. But the couple ends up reliving a traumatic night over and over again while camping. The story, told through their mutual dreams, is about relationships, grief and love as a healing force.
The Swedish helmer previously told Variety that the film’s story unfolded during the “wee hours of the morning when dreams are at their most relentlessly untamed” and was set during “this nightmarish landscape between wakefulness and sleep.

Barcelona— Tasos Gerakinis’ “A Simple Man,” Pelin Esmer’s “Queen Lear” and Ignas Jonynas’ “Invisible” compose the pix-in-post selection for the upcoming Glocal in Progress sidebar at September’s San Sebastián Film Festival.
Greek director Tasos Gerakinis will attend with his feature debut, a Greece-France co-production following a convict who flees prison and manages to arrive in the neighbor country where he holds up at a farm, taking a winegrower hostage. The relationship between the winegrower, his daughter and the convict will evolve in divergent directions.
Turkish director Pelin Esmer has previously participated in San Sebastián’s main competition with “10 to 11,” a Special Jury Prize winner in Istanbul festival in 2009.
