Grandson of a rugby legend, son of a
rugby legend and himself a rugby
legend, Jo Canavaro is raising his
thirteen-year-old son, Tom, on his own in
a small village in the south-west of
France. Much to Jo’s disappointment,
Tom is as good in math as he is bad on a
rugby field. For Jo, the family legend
cannot end now, even if it means starting
a rugby team just for Tom... despite the
opposition of the entire village... and
even that of his own son!

OF HORRORS
Horror Thriller
Language: English
Director: Javier Gutierrez
Writer: James Wan and Max La Bella
Delivery Status: Pre-Production
Year of Production: 2011
Country of Origin: US
The House of Horror is a horror-thriller
that centres around a gruesome crime
scene. The film is shot with a blend of
found footage, interrogation video, news
cameras and classical cinematography.
The film focuses on the aftermath of a
horrific massacre; five college students,
brutally murdered inside a decrepit,
abandoned home. We are thrown right
into the mix as the lead Detective, Mark
Lewis, and the police department’s
psychologist, Dr. Elizabeth Klein,
question a suspect. The young man at the
centre is John Ascot, bound by handcuffs
in a mobile command station.
During the interrogation, John explains
everything leading up to the deaths of his
friends. We discover that they were
amateur ghost-hunters, seeking out
paranormal phenomenon at the
abandoned house believed to be haunted.
What started out as a harmless activity
turned into something truly terrifying
and more than they ever could bargain
for.
John explains to the police that he isn’t
responsible for his friends’ deaths, but
rather, it was the house. He tells them he
believes the house is a gateway to hell; a
place of concentrated evil.
We slowly witness an eerie change in
John’s demeanour through the course of
the movie. Things take a disturbing turn
when John hints at the notion that he is
possessed by the Devil.

infamous El Pueblito prison – a hell on
earth where the prison gangs run the
show. Driver has no ID or fingerprints
but he still gets a visit from a corrupt
American Embassy official who has
heard about the money. If Driver doesn’t
find a way of paying him off while he’s
inside, then he’s going to let the
authorities know where Driver is. And it
won’t be long before the guys he stole
the money from find him too. Driver
knows it is sink or swim. He hooks up
with a young boy who shows him how to
survive in the prison, but the kid has a
terrible secret. He shares a rare blood
type with Javi – the criminal who
ruthlessly controls the prison and
everyone in it. The kid is Javi’s life
insurance policy and he has doctors on
standby to transplant his liver whenever
the time comes. But Driver has other
ideas and pretty soon he devises an
audacious plan to escape with the kid,
the kid’s mother and the money.

Wonderfully archived, and told with a
remarkable sense of intimacy, visual
style, and musical panache, Susanne
Rostock’s inspiring biographical
documentary, SING YOUR SONG,
surveys the life and times of
singer/actor/activist Harry Belafonte.
From his rise to fame as a singer,
inspired by Paul Robeson, and his
experiences touring a segregated country,
to his provocative crossover into
Hollywood, Belafonte’s groundbreaking
career personifies the American civil
rights movement and impacted many
other social-justice movements. Rostock
reveals Belafonte as a tenacious handson
activist, who worked intimately with
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., mobilized
celebrities for social justice, participated
in the struggle against apartheid in South
Africa, and took action to counter gang
violence, prisons, and the incarceration
of youth. Because of his beliefs,
Belafonte drew unwarranted invasions
by the FBI into both his personal life and
career, which led to years of struggle.
But an indomitable sense of optimism
motivates his path even today as he
continues to ask, at 84, "What do we do
now?" His example may very well
inspire you to action.

The first American film produced in the
country of Armenia, Braden King's
HERE is a landscape-obsessed road
movie that chronicles a brief but intense
romantic relationship between an
American satellite-mapping engineer
(Ben Foster) and an expatriate Armenian
photographer (Lubna Azabal), who
impulsively decide to travel together into
uncharted territory. Will's Shepard's
solitary work - land-surveying satellite
images to check for accuracy and resolve
anomalies - is called “ground-truthing”.
He’s been doing it on his own, for years,
all over the world. Gadarine Najarian is a
tough and intriguing art photographer on
her first trip home in ages, passionately
trying to figure out what kind of
relationship - if any - she still has with
her home country and culture. There is
an almost instant, unconscious bond
between these two lone travelers; they
impulsively decide to continue together.
The two become deeply connected as
their sense of themselves - and their
worlds - expands. As their trip comes to
an end, each must deal with the
conclusions to which their journey has
led them – and each must decide where
to go from HERE.

Everything is complicated in Yoni's life:
He's almost 13, really smart, but
physically underdeveloped and struggles
daily to quickly grow into the physique
of a man before his up-coming Bar
Mitzvah. He sells homework in order to
secretly buy a body-building wonder
powder, which so far does nothing, he
stretches every night with heavy weights
tied to his legs and screams with full
force in the wind to deepen his girlish,

unstable voice, which earned him his
nickname – Helium. His classmates, a
year older and two heads taller, bully
him every chance they get and his
parents barely say a word to each other
or, if at all, communicate through him.
As if all this weren't enough - only a
week before the ceremony - his autistic
brother, Tomer, 17, locked away for
years in an institution which has been
shut down, returns home. This shakes up
not only Yoni's life, but the unstable
foundation of the entire family. Being the
only real adult in his family, Yoni ends
up dealing on his own with a brother he
hasn't seen in ten years and who
becomes obsessed with "Noah's Tale".
Perceiving the world a little differently,
Tomer internalizes every word of the
Torah excerpt Yoni will sing during the
ceremony. He starts collecting and
pairing animals, places them in an old
boat in the shed and invents "The
Flood"-game. It is a pretty rough
growing up and growing together for the
entire family as painful truths, mistakes
of the past and sorrows of the present are
confronted. Although his voice hasn't
changed, his height and his muscle mass
have stayed the same Yoni arrives at his
Bar Mitzvah a grown boy. Together with
his father he even manages to create a
magical, almost real flood for his
brother. A flood no one will forget.

An adaptation of Nigel Slater’s best
selling memoir, TOAST is the ultimate
nostalgia trip through everything edible
in 1960’s Britain. Nigel’s Mother was
always a poor cook but her chronic
asthma and addiction to all things canned
isn’t helping. Nigel on the other hand
laps up cookbooks like they are porn,
spending all his time gazing longingly at
the delights on offer in Percy Salts
grocers. As his mother’s illness worsens
so do Nigel’s relations with his father.
The bolognaise he cooks is far too
exotic; the uncooked Fray Bentos pie
MUST be finished; and his father’s rage
as Nigel insists on picking every last bit
of jelly off the tinned ham at the annual
picnic hits an all time high. Just before
Xmas, Nigel’s mother dies, leaving Nigel
and his father heartbroken. His Father
begins to spend his evenings at the
Masonic lodge until a new cleaner, Mrs
Potter, arrives on the scene. Mrs. Potter’s
figure, charms and lemon meringue pies
quickly bewitch Nigel’s father and much
to Nigel’s horror, the three soon embark
on a move to the country. The one silver
lining in the cloud of a new school being
Domestic Science class, through which
Nigel can finally shine and cooking soon
becomes the key weapon in the battle for
Dad’s affections. Ironically, the main
casualty of these culinary skirmishes is
Nigel’s father, as his waistline grows and
grows as Mrs Potter’s cooking turns
obsessive. When Nigel lands a job in the
kitchen of his local pub his eyes are
opened to a world of opportunity, both
culinary and sexually. He soon becomes
smitten with both the new owner’s
cooking and with her son. When his
father dies, Nigel’s mind is set as he
packs a bag for London and arrives at
the door of The Savoy Hotel.

has snuffed out their fire. Simon is

Life will never be the same in this quaint
village, nestled among the hills of
Northern Italy. After ten years of devoted
research, Professor Sebastian needs only
one final piece of the puzzle to confirm
his discovery of a new star. Tonight he
finally holds that piece close to his heart,
the Herschel Catalog, a very rare
astronomy book that will validate his
work and realize a life-long dream.
While destiny will rob Sebastian of this
very special moment, fate will provide
quite another. At the train station, the
professor is anxiously leafing through his
precious book as the Express from
Monte Carlo comes to an unscheduled
stop. The moment turns to magic as
somewhere between the star-studded
night and the rolling steam of the engine
we discover Mona; a divine appearance,
a stunning beauty, draped in the most
elegant Parisian fashion imaginable.
Mona is being taken off the train for not
having a ticket, money or any
identification. The only contents of her
tasseled silk handbag are a solid gold
lighter, a tube of lipstick and a few
casino chips. Inspired by Sebastian’s
pure soul, Mona will discover true love
and the courage to face her destiny. Will
this romantic encounter survive the
prejudice and intolerance of this tiny
village? Will the arrogant Jack, the
millionaire boyfriend Mona was running
from, succeed in his persistent attempts
to take her back? As the stars gravitate
silently on their eternal orbits these
questions will be unveiled as we are
pulled into a magic story of hope,
dreams and the power of love.

Water” brings together the latest findings
on this matter in biology, anthropology,
physics and neuroscience, as well as
seeking the opinions of leading
authorities on the written word,
cinematography, art and religion. Filmed
in four continents, “Love” proves that
the emotion is as vital for humans as
water and food. A challenging study of
MRI brain scans by world-renowned
scientists explains why love is so
powerful, and why being rejected is so
painful. The documentary unlocks the
physiological secrets behind why we feel
what we do when we fall in love, and
why romantic love is not really an
emotion. Most amazing, though, is the
notion that you cannot make a person
love, an opinion shared by all those
interviewed – religious believers,
agnostics and atheists alike. They all
agree that love defies all known laws of
science, as the sublime truth.

This question has perplexed mankind
throughout the ages. Little has changed
since Plato’s proclamation in the fourth
century BC: “To fear death is nothing
else but to take credit for wisdom which
one does not possess, that is to have too
high an opinion of oneself that one
knows something that he actually does
not know. No one knows whether death,
which people fear to be the greatest evil,
may not be the greatest good”. This
insightful documentary from the creators
of the awardwinning “Great Mystery of
Water” seeks to give an unobtrusive
answer to the issue of death, drawing on
opinions of leading scientists from
around the globe, including Nobel Prize
laureates, practicing medics,
philosophers and religious figures.
Filmed in Europe, the US, Japan, Russia
and the Middle East, the interviews are
skilfully interwoven with historical
reconstructions and scientific
experiments. This thought-provoking
film delivers some striking findings,
such as the reason why those who die “in
loving arms” or who are in love go to
“the other side” much more easily than
those who are not so blessed.

to throw an opera in his lavish country
retreat. Once his friends see him belting

Charlie needs to recover it. In the search

Michel Rolland, who thinks that he has
to “wash” his palate with the best wines
of the region. Charlie starts a journey
from huge wineries through small

the failure of the advice, his journey
becomes a return, getting away from that
glamorous world where he thinks he
belongs. It turns into a new journey
towards his essence, his loved ones, his
pains and real ghosts. “The ways of the
wine” oscillates with cruelty between
comedy and the true drama of a man
who got lost because of his desire of
belonging to a world, other than his own.

ALL YOUR DEAD (TODOS TUS
MUERTOS)
Drama / Comedy (88 min.)
Language: Spanish
Director: Carlos Moreno
Key Cast: Alvaro Rodriguez
Delivery Status: Completed
Year of Production: 2011
Country of Origin: Colombia
In this eerie and fantastically shot
tragicomic satire, an ordinary farmer's
morning routine is interrupted when he
makes a grim discovery in the middle of
his cornfield—a huge pile of dead
bodies. Aghast, he reports the mysterious
massacre on what happens to be Election
Day. When the small-town mayor and
police lieutenant take notice, fearful of
unleashing a public scandal, they stall
and intimidate the farmer and his family.
Meanwhile, the sun beats down, and the
eerie corpses remain, refusing to be
ignored. All Your Dead Ones unspools a
disquieting allegory, a silent indictment
of Colombia's ongoing civil war. The
imagery and sound, crafted with
unsettling intensity, illustrate a
frightening crisis of social conscience.
Tinged with mordant surrealism, director
Carlos Moreno's return to Sundance
(Perro Come Perro screened at the 2008
Sundance Film Festival) demonstrates a
rare ability to transcend genre and a
remarkable storytelling vigor, anchored
within a haunting and arresting visual
motif.

Country of Origin: Mexico
Negus, Chale, Sapo, and Chata are
teenagers living in Mexico's Guerrero
colony. Friends since childhood, they
have too much time on their hands and
spend most of it drowning their problems
in a constant haze of marijuana, lusting
after the opposite sex, and hanging out at
skate parks, graffiti hot spots, and hiphop
jam sessions. One day, inspired by
the pain of empty pockets and the crush
against the gritty boundary between
adolescence and adulthood, the foursome
have a massive brainstorm that will solve
all of their problems—they decide to rob
the local cinema. Each finds his or her
reason to go ahead with the caper,
unaware that the ordeal may threaten the
only thing they have—their friendship.
The Cinema Hold Up is a vibrant,
authentic, and wonderfully observed
portrait of the tempo and texture of
today's Mexican youth culture. First-time
feature director Iria Gómez Concheiro
draws pitch-perfect performances from
the talented ensemble cast and registers a
strong and original voice in Mexican
cinema.

Year of Production: 2010
Country of Origin: Sweden
CORNELIS is a biographical music film
chronicling the life of Cornelis
Vreeswijk – a life unlike any other. A
hard life which started anew as many
times as it collapsed. A life lived in
euphoria and in darkness. It is the film
about one man’s constant search, restless
need to express himself, and enigmatic
contradictions. The shy, bourgeois man
who becomes a womanizer, a national
ruffian, banned from the radio. The
social worker with writer’s dreams who
becomes a musician. The people’s Poet
Laureate who never got his Swedish
citizenship. The penniless tax evader.
Crucified in the press for his reluctance
to conform. Loved on stage for just that.
Everybody’s friend, but nobody’s
confidante.

complex of crime stories substance and
’personality’, enabling audiences to

CANNES PRODUCT GUIDE
A strange, enigmatic and decadent white
diplomat arrives in central Africa,
looking like a mixture of Henry Stanley
and Karl Lagerfeld. He has recently
bought an ambassadorship and claims to
be a do-good rich business man, who has
come to spearhead a diplomatic mission.
Officially he is there to start a factory
that produces matches – this, to employ
locals and teach how to make this simple
piece of fire-making equipment.
Unofficially he is really there to gain
access to vast reserves of diamonds.
The Ambassador is a genre-breaking,
tragic comedy about the bizarre world of
African diplomacy.

hard to maintain as days go by. Through
mutual need, unlikely friendships bloom.
Somehow, they become comrades. War,
after all, is absurd.

(The Reader, Let Me In). Based on the
critically acclaimed bestseller by Allison
Pearson, I Don't Know How She Does It
follows a Boston-based working mother
trying desperately to juggle marriage,
children, and a high-stress job. Kate
Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker) devotes her
days to her job with a Boston-based
financial management firm. At night she
goes home to her adoring, recentlydownsized
architect husband Richard
(Kinnear) and their two young children.
It's a non-stop balancing act, the same
one that Kate's acerbic best friend and
fellow working mother Allison (Christina
Hendricks) performs on a daily basis,
and that Kate's super-brainy, childphobic
young junior associate Momo
(Olivia Munn) fully intends to avoid.
When Kate gets handed a major new
account that will require frequent trips to
New York, Richard also wins the new
job he's been hoping for-and both will be
spreading themselves even thinner.
Complicating matters is Kate's charming
new business associate Jack Abelhammer
(Pierce Brosnan), who begins to prove an

Acclaimed actress and Oscar® nominee
Michelle Williams (Brokeback
Mountain) heads up an all-star cast in
this never-before-seen look at one of
Hollywood’s biggest legends, Marilyn
Monroe. Desperately wanting to be taken
more seriously in Tinseltown, the largerthan-life
actress (Williams) travels to
London in 1956 to star alongside acting
legend Laurence Olivier in The Prince
and the Showgirl. Based on actual events

Feeling abandoned by her husband,
Arthur Miller, and smitten with the
young Clark, Monroe’s true London
adventure takes place behind Showgirl’s
cameras and out of view of the
tyrannical Olivier (Oscar® nominee
Kenneth Branagh) and the film’s other
female star, Sybil Thorndike (Oscar®
winner, Judi Dench). But, as Colin
becomes indispensable to, and besotted
by, the volatile Marilyn, and a
burgeoning relationship begins between
the two, he also becomes Olivier’s only
hope for getting the film finished by
keeping the unpredictable actress in line.
Suddenly in over his head, it is Colin’s
heart which may very well soon be
broken...by the worlds biggest movie
star!

when it comes to getting his life together.
For sisters Liz (Emily Mortimer),
Miranda (Elizabeth Banks) and Natalie
(Zooey Deschanel), that person is their
perennially upbeat brother Ned (Paul
Rudd), an erstwhile organic farmer
whose willingness to rely on the honesty
of mankind is a less-than-optimum
strategy for a tidy, trouble-free existence.
Ned may be utterly lacking in common
sense, but he is their brother and so, after
his girlfriend dumps him and boots him
off the farm, his sisters once again come
to his rescue. As Liz, Miranda and
Natalie each take a turn at housing Ned,
their brother's unfailing commitment to
honesty creates more than a few messes
in their comfortable routines. But as each
of their lives begins to unravel, Ned's
family comes to realize that maybe, in
believing and trusting the people around
him; Ned isn't such an idiot after all.

defend his 15-year winning streak as a

against a young carving prodigy and
Bob’s jealous mistress to become part of
butter carving history! Directed by Jim
Field Smith (She’s Out Of My League),

Three inseparable childhood friends.
Franck's been a welder since he was 16.
Twenty years later, like thousands of

Hélène stuck by him, unswervingly
loyal. Without them, he'd have nothing.
One Friday at the factory, Franck
overhears a conversation that leaves him
devastated... all the machines are to be

of rage, Franck broods furiously, torn
between robbing the factory safe and
warning his co-workers about what is
being planned. He makes his decision -
before anything else, he'll talk to Max....

NYC. Unemployed bartender and failed
DJ August receives a 2 a.m. call from
beautiful Swedish Signe. Their onenight-stand
turns ugly when he discovers
footage of a murder on her phone – a
Caucasian man killing a young Latino.
August knows these men. The dead guy's
Jesus Guzman, a dealer. The killer is
Nicholas Feinman, son of New York’s
most powerful investment banker. Before
August can question Signe, there’s a
knock on the door - Angel, Jesus’ brother
and the most feared drug enforcer on the
Lower East Side. Jesus is missing -
maybe August knows where he is?
August hides the girl, gets Angel out of
his apartment, and searches desperately
for a way out of this nightmare. Signe
explains they both need money – for her
to get out of the country and for him to
get out of debt. They have to blackmail
Nicholas. Yet neither they, nor Nicholas,
anticipates that Angel Guzman will stop
at nothing to find out what has happened
to his brother. Soon, all are caught in a
deadly game of blackmail, double
crosses and escalating violence. When he
learns that Signe may have been playing
him all along, August has to choose - get
the money, get the truth, or get out alive.
THE GIRL IS IN TROUBLE - a thriller
that fuses a 21st Century sensibility to
the kinetic energy of the French New
Wave and the grittiness of classic
Americana noir.
