Comedy. France, Germany 2016, 122 min. Directed by Bruno Dumont. Starring: Juliette Binoche, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, Fabrice Luchini, Jean-Luc Vincent, Didier Després, Laura Dupré. In French with Russian subtitles. Summer 1910. In the north of France, tourists are disappearing one after another, having ventured into the quiet cove where the Bréforts live – a strange, practically penniless family of oyster farmers who don’t reserve their torture for sea creatures alone. Not far away, the Van Peteghems are spending the summer at their family mansion – a bourgeois family, bordering on decadence, but with clear signs of some psychiatric disorder. These two families are clearly not friends, but their children have some sort of interest in each other… Yet another source of chaos is introduced by the idiotic policemen, Machin and Malfoy, who have arrived on the scene to investigate the mysterious disappearances. Perennially outré star of European art film Bruno Dumont (“Humanity,” “Twentynine Palms,” “Camille Claudel 1915”) had already drastically shifted tone in his previous comic mini-series “P’tit Quinquin” (2014). In “Ma loute,” the director’s brilliant new comic talent continues to develop, mixed with the grotesque, the absurd, and the surreal. Juliette Binoches plays one of the main roles. Nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.

The events of the film unfold during the development of the migrant crisis in Europe, on the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, once a supply point used by pirates and now serving as the “gateway” to Europe for hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants from Northern Africa.

Despite regular rescue operations, thousands of migrants perish every year off the island’s shores. A documentary film by Italian director Gianfranco Rosi, and recipient of the Golden Bear at this year’s Berlin Film Festival. In 2013, Gianfranco Rosi was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for “Sacro GRA".

Short films. France, Canada, USA, Argentina, UK, Nederland 2013-2015, 91 min. In oroginal language with Russian subtitles. A collection of eight romantic comedies from Europe and North and South America in a new almanac from Utopia Pictures: “Loveseat”, “Qui de nous deux (Who’s Paying?),” “Love is Blind,” “Een vrije dag (A Day Off),” “Érotisse (Eroticism),” “En las Nubes (In the Clouds),” “Sure Thing,” and “The Girlfriend Experience.” Only the best rom-coms, all filmed with a sense of fantasy, fresh humor, a fair helping of erotica, and harmless tomfoolery. The eternal theme of relationships between men and women to this gives an opportunity for scheming and never fails to surprise. Worth mentioning in the programme: Latin American festival hit “En las Nubes;” “Sure Thing,” a screen adaptation of a play by David Ives, one of today’s leading American playwrights; the directorial debut of Robert Zemeckis’ permanent assistant, Matthew Richmond’s “Loveseat,” which was worthy of turning into a major Hollywood blockbuster; the French rom-com “Qui de nous deux” with Alice Isaaz, famous for last year’s “Un moment d’égarement (That Awkward Moment)” and Paul Verhoeven’s recent “sex drama,” “Elle,” in the leading role.

Comedy/Fantasy/Romance. USA 1985, 82 min. Directed by Woody Allen. Starring: Mia Farrow, Jeff Daniels, Danny Aiello, Stephanie Farrow. In English with Russian subtitles. According to Woody Allen, “The Purple Rose of Cairo” is one of his favorite films, and more completely than most adhered to Allen’s ideal for the project. The action takes place in the United States, during the Great Depression. The heroine (Mia Farrow) finds relief from her depressing workaday life and unhappy marriage in film, over and over watching her favorite film “The Purple Rose of Cairo” – to the point that one day, her hero-lover (Jeff Daniels) climbs out of the screen into the theater and extends his hand to her. A poignant story about the thin line between reality and fantasy, escapism from the everyday and the shattering of illusions, about the dramatic collision between cinema and life, inspired by the atmosphere of Hollywood of the 20s and 30s, magically recreated by Allen here. The film earned major accolades, including a Golden Glove for best screenplay, a FIPRESCI award from the Cannes Film Festival, and a César for best foreign film.

Exhibition Film. Great Britain 2014, 87 min. Directed by Phil Grabsky. In English with Russian subtitles. Monet, Ceaznne, Degas, Renoir: some of the world’s most popular artists. Their works, and that of their contemporaries, fetch tens of millions of dollars around the globe. But who were they really? Why & how exactly did they paint? What lies behind their enduring appeal? To help answer these questions, this unique film secured unparalleled access to a major new exhibition focussing on the man credited with inventing Impressionism as we know it: 19th century Parisian art collector Paul Durand-Ruel. This eagerly anticipated international exhibition is possibly the most comprehensive exploration of the Impressionists in history. It was Durand-Ruel’s brave decision to exhibit the Impressionists in New York in 1886 that introduced enlightened wealthy Americans to this modern French painting. In doing so, he not only filled great American galleries with Impressionist masterworks, but kept Impressionism alive at a time when it faced complete failure. This energetic and revealing film will tell his remarkable story along with that of the Impressionists themselves. Featuring universally loved masterpieces by Monet, Degas, Cezanne, Renoir, Pissarro and many more.
