Relatives

Relatives

Rokonok

dir. István Szabó

Hungary, 2006 - 110

István Kopjáss becomes the attorney general instead of the corrupt Makróczy. Kopjáss is a clean character. His pockets are empty, but his head is full of beautiful, world-redeeming dreams. Alas, the position of an attorney general comes not only with power that can be turned to serve the cause of good, but also with an ungodly huge racket, called the Pig Breeding Co., as well as many, many relatives. Some of the relatives are up to their ears in the Pig Breeding Co. racket, with others dying to get in on some good, juicy scam. Kopjáss falls in love with power a bit and he falls madly in love with a relative. In the end, he has to decide whether he is a relative or a non-relative, and face the consequences. After 12 years making films with a strong international flavour, Istvan Szabo is back home for an adaptation of a critically acclaimed novel by Zsigmund Moricz about an ambitious but naive idealist who is sucked in by corruption.

Free Jimmy

Slipp Jimmy Fri

dir. Christopher Nielsen

Norway, 2006 - 80

Roy Arnie has a dream. One day he will run his own circus and conquer the world. Today, however, he is a stable hand working in the declining touring Russian circus of ringmaster Stromowski. One day, Jimmy the elephant, addicted to every drug, escapes from the circus. Jimmy is the key to Arnie’s dreams. A mad chase begins. A deranged bunch of animal activists are after Jimmy to front their cause. A Scottish hunting party think his head would look great mounted on their wall. The Lappish Mafia, the meanest men in the North, want to ‘hit’ him for a big payoff. Jimmy’s only chance is a benevolent moose who befriends him on the road. Can he help to free Jimmy, release him from his addiction, and save him from a million-dollar secret?

Burning Man

Burning Man

dir. Sławomir Grünberg, Ewa Pięta

USA / Poland, 2006 - 91

It all started 20 years ago in San Francisco when, after a bad break-up with a girlfriend, Larry Harvey spontaneously decided to go to the beach and burn a 20-metre effigy of a man. He invited some friends to watch; they all had great fun and decided to repeat the event the next year. They never thought that 20 years later, this greatest artistic event in the United States would draw a crowd of over 35,000. Participants in this neo-pagan ritual include business people and students, computer programmers and former hippies, with boundaries of age and wealth completely obliterated. Radical self-expression and taking part in creating reality are the most important elements of this festival of modern art that includes elements of Woodstock, Bacchanalia, and narcotic dreams. Slawomir Grünberg’s latest documentary features members of the Łódź Kaliska group.
