Description:

A documentary from a director who specializes in uncovering the secrets of the fashion world. After the life stories of fashion guru Valentino and Diana Vreeland, icon of 'Harper's Bazaar' and 'Vogue', it's time for the House of Christian Dior. At what is one of the world's most famous and biggest fashion houses, preparations are under way for the debut of Raf Simons as the new artistic director. The documentary presents unique behind-the-scenes footage and conversations together with the team's nervous all-night bustling against the background of the Dior brand's almost 70 years of history. The tense atmosphere is fuelled further by the fact that there's just eight weeks to go and Simons doesn't speak French. An extremely interesting portrait of the House of Christian Dior.

French filmmaker. He studied civil engineering. He moved to New York City in 2002 to attend Columbia University's film school. His co-produced film 'Valentino: The Last Emperor' was shortlisted for the Best Documentary Oscar. 'Dior and I' is his solo directorial debut.

Gui Lai

dir. Zhang Yimou

China, 2014 - 111

The love story of Lu Yanshi and Feng Wanyu during the Cultural Revolution in China. Between 1966 and 1976 a brutal return to communist ideology brought death to millions of people. Further millions were left physically and mentally mutilated. Lu Yanshi is one of the intellectuals who fall victim to Mao Zedong's purges. Arrested by the regime and sent to a labour camp, he leaves his wife at home. When he's gone she is injured and loses her memory. When Lu returns home after his term is up, he finds to his dismay that his beloved wife remembers little from her past. She doesn't recognize him and patiently waits at the railway station for her husband's return. Then there's his daughter. Indoctrinated by the communist party, she renounced her father years before, considering him a dissident and a traitor. Alienated from his family, Lu is determined to resurrect memories of their past together. An adaptation of Yan Geling's novel. Zhang Yimou's previous film, 'The Flowers of War' (WFF 2012), was an adaptation of another novel by the same writer.

dir. Jon S. Baird

United Kingdom, 2013 - 87

Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson hates his work, but desperately wants a promotion. He is certain it'll help him win back his wife and daughter. When a new investigation begins, he will keep things under control because it's an opportunity that knocks once. He knows he'll be the best because his co-workers are idiots. Enlisted to solve a brutal murder, he senses he is only threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues. Fighting for the job, this corrupt schemer and manipulator will deal with them unscrupulously. Creating his own game rules, he will go to any lengths to move everyone around his chessboard. But soon he gets entangled in his own web of lies. His past starts catching up with him, and his addiction to sex, alcohol and drugs affects his physical and mental state. How much longer can he pretend he's in control?
