Allegro

Allegro

dir. Christoffer Boe

Denmark, 2005 - 88

After a long absence, a famous pianist, Zetterstrom, returns to his native Copenhagen. A perfectionist by nature, he also has a major flaw: he can't remember anything from his past. So, when contacted by a messenger from the Zone, a mysterious other world situated in the middle of the city, Zetterstrom attempts to reconnect with himself, his lost memories, and what remains in his mind about a lost love. A rare cinematic treat. Boe creates a figurative universe, a realm both real and unreal, at once a fictional place and a concrete reality. The film eludes easy categorization, and sometimes even effortless comprehension, but is entirely engrossing and stimulating. Its exploration of metaphorical realities and the mysteries of memory and the subconscious is richly conceived and wonderfully acted and executed.

Vincent

dir. Giulio Ricciarelli

Germany, 2005 - 14

Eight-year-old Vincent is trying to make sense of the world by following the example of the adults around him, but this approach isn't really working out. So, with the help of his companion the turtle, Vincent embarks on a journey that leads him to a simple yet important realization: Adults can't always be trusted. Giulio Ricciarelli's short film is shot from a child's perspective and should delight young audiences.

You Am I

You Am I

You Am I

dir. Kristijonas Vildziunas

Lithuania, 2006 - 90

A lonely architect quits his office job and loveless relationships, and takes the only chance to change his life. Working hard and overcoming self-distrust and fear, he finally materializes his remarkable vision: a stylish tree-house, which he builds on three firs with his own hands. But when it is done, he feels a void creeping into his heart. Yes, it's truly great to swing with the wind, to feel the deep peace of surrounding nature, and to enjoy the pleasures of simple daily cares. But is there anybody with whom he could share his dream? "'You Am I'," according to Kristijonas Vildziunas, "is a form of Maya greeting which means: 'we are all one'. Like most paradoxes of thought, this phrase is more intended to be felt than understood. The film can thus be difficult to rationalize. Its essence doesn't lie in the intrigue or in what is said, rather it's to be read between the images."

Gambler

dir. Phie Ambo

Denmark, 2005 - 77

An entertaining documentary about the struggle of Nicolas Winding Refn, director of the cult Danish trilogy “Pusher”, to clear himself of a personal debt. Refn was forced to file for personal bankruptcy when “Fear X” became a box-office flop. His only chance to wipe the slate clean and continue his career as filmmaker was to produce “Pusher 2” and “Pusher 3”. Refn was haunted by a feeling of having sold out artistically by trying cash in on sequels, yet he needed to deliver in order to persuade the film consultants to grant him public money for his two films. Ambo was not primarily interested in how Refn’s films were made. She was more fascinated by the personal pressures on the filmmaker, the way the thumbscrews were turned financially, and how this had consequences for his private life. Ambo was interested in the drama of his potential demise. That's why she kept on filming where every other filmmaker would have stopped.
