  MBC December-February Photography Exhibition

   

  (Exhibition continues throughout January and February, before all film screenings)

   

  “BETTIE PAGE: MIAMI NOIR" by BUNNY YEAGER

   

  

   

  in collaboration with

  The Dezer Schauhalle and

  Schuster Gallery Berlin

  From the moment she took her name from Lana Turner’s character in “Weekend at the Waldorf”, Bunny Yeager’s life and work has been inspired by film. Originally set on a career in movies, Bunny happily chose modeling and photography after re-locating to Miami from Pennsylvania in high school. She loved Miami and her images helped define our city for the rest of the world.

   

  A new exhibition at MBC focuses on some photos of her favorite model, Bettie Page, entitled “BETTIE PAGE: MIAMI NOIR” by BUNNY YEAGER. Many of the images have never been exhibited or published before, which is the case for much of the work in Bunny’s vast archive. Most were shot in a private home in

  Coral Gables.
  
  

  As Bunny enjoys renewed interest in her work from the international art market, we can celebrate with one of the icons of 1950’s glamour.

  TOMBOY

  Directed by CELINE SCIAMMA/France/2011/84mins.

  With Zoé Héran, Jeanne Disson, Malone Lévana, Sophie Cattani

  

  In Tomboy, filmmaker Céline Sciamma’s (Water Lilies) second feature, the director brings a light and charming touch to this contemporary coming-of-age story, which is also about relationships between children, children and parents, and the even more complicated one between one’s heart and body. A family with two daughters, 10-year-old Laure and 6-year-old Jeanne, moves to a new suburban neighborhood during the summer holidays. With her Jean Seberg haircut and tomboy ways, Laure is immediately mistaken for a boy by the local kids, and decides to pass herself off as "Mikael," a boy different enough to catch the attention of leader of the pack Lisa, who becomes smitten. Finding resourceful ways to hide her true self, Laure takes advantage of her new identity, as if the end of the summer would never reveal her unsettling secret. (In French with English subtitles)

  “Rebel With A Cause: Nicholas Ray”

  WE CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN/

  DON’T EXPECT TOO MUCH

   

  Directed by NICHOLAS RAY / SUSAN RAY

  USA – 1973 / 2011 – 94 mins. / 70 mins. (164mins)

  With Nicholas Ray and the students of SUNY Binghamton

   

  From the legendary filmmaker of REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, WE CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN is Nicholas Ray's radical angle on

  America 's turbulent 70s. Filmed in close collaboration with his students at SUNY Binghamton, this newly-restored film utilizes multiple images and avant-garde sound techniques to capture the "history, progress, manners, morals, and mores of everyday life" at a critical moment in American history. Susan Ray's contemporary documentary DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH illuminates the story behind the making of WE CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN as well as the philosophies and Hollywoodexperiences of her husband Nicholas Ray. Contains never-before-seen interviews with Jim Jarmusch and Victor Erice.

  About WE CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN:

   

  

   

  The most complete, newly restored version of Nicholas Ray’s experimental masterpiece, made with his students at the State University of New York at

  Binghamton, WE CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN embodies Ray’s approach to filmmaking as a communal way of life. The film records Ray’s groundbreaking use of multiple image as a way of telling more than one story simultaneously, and of colorization as a way to heighten emotional expression. He called it a “journalistic” film, one that shares the anthropologists’ aim of recording the “history, progress, manners, morals, and mores of everyday life,” at a critical moment in American history. Ray plays himself in the film, serving as mentor, friend, and reference point around whom the students’ stories constellate.

  About DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH:

   

  

   

  Did Nick Ray leave Hollywood, or did

  Hollywoodleave him? What was he up to when he returned to the States after a decade in Europe? What was his intention with We Can’t Go Home Again, that experimental film he made with a bunch of college students? What was he doing with so many images on the screen all at once? How did he do it? Why was the film never finished? Did he lose his way, his talent, his sanity, his common sense? Don’t Expect Too Much, a full-length documentary helmed by Ray’s wife Susan, investigates these questions and the relationship forged by Ray between his life and his art. Drawing on the director’s archive of never-before-seen film, video, and stills, Susan finds answers to our questions about Nick Ray in Nick Ray’s own words and images. And we learn from interviews with members of the original crew of We Can’t Go Home Again, directors Jim Jarmusch and Victor Erice, and others, how this man lived, saw, learned, and taught, how he fought and danced with his demons, how he loved.

  GRANITO:

  How to Nail a Dictator

  Documentary by PETER KINOY, PAMELA YATES, PACO DE ONIS

  2011/USA/Guatemala/Spain/80mins.

   

  

   

  Sometimes a film makes history; it doesn’t just document it. Such is the case with Granito, the astonishing new film by Pamela Yates. Part political thriller, part memoir, Granito takes us through a riveting, haunting tale of genocide and justice that spans four decades, two films, and in many ways, Yates’s own career. Embedded in Granito is Yates’s seminal 1982 film, When the Mountains Tremble, which introduced the world to the tragedy of the genocide carried out against the Mayan people by the Guatemalan government and propelled Mayan activist Rigoberta Menchú to the international stage. During filming, Yates was allowed to shoot the only known footage of the army as it carried out the genocide. Twenty-five years later, this film and its outtakes become evidence in an international war-crimes case against the former commander of the army, and Yates reunites with Menchú, now a Nobel laureate, and others who continue to contribute their granito (tiny grain of sand) in a continuing quest for the truth.-Cara Mertes, Sundance Film Festival

  “DOESN’T SIMPLY RELATE HISTORY; IT IS PART OF HISTORY.”

  “The film is gripping. But not only that, it is in itself evidence of the importance of filmmaking. IF YOU THINK FILMS CAN’T CHANGE THE WORLD, SEE THIS FILM AND THINK AGAIN.”-Jennifer Merin, About.com

   

  “Plays like a good thriller…one of the most unique documentaries [at Sundance this year] was Pamela Yates’ GRANITO. This is because the film is not just an investigation of social injustice but a commentary on the documentary filmmaker’s role in the events he or she chronicles…”-Stephen Farber, The

  With Jody Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, John C. Reilly

   

  

   

  Carnage, by legendary master filmmaker Roman Polanski, is a razor sharp, biting comedy centered on parental differences. After two boys duke it out on a playground, the parents of the “victim” invite the parents of the “bully” over to work out their issues. A polite discussion of childrearing soon escalates into verbal warfare, with all four parents revealing their true colors. None of them will escape the carnage.

  GRANITO:

  How to Nail a Dictator

  Documentary by PETER KINOY, PAMELA YATES, PACO DE ONIS

  2011/USA/Guatemala/Spain/80mins.

   

  

   

  Sometimes a film makes history; it doesn’t just document it. Such is the case with Granito, the astonishing new film by Pamela Yates. Part political thriller, part memoir, Granito takes us through a riveting, haunting tale of genocide and justice that spans four decades, two films, and in many ways, Yates’s own career. Embedded in Granito is Yates’s seminal 1982 film, When the Mountains Tremble, which introduced the world to the tragedy of the genocide carried out against the Mayan people by the Guatemalan government and propelled Mayan activist Rigoberta Menchú to the international stage. During filming, Yates was allowed to shoot the only known footage of the army as it carried out the genocide. Twenty-five years later, this film and its outtakes become evidence in an international war-crimes case against the former commander of the army, and Yates reunites with Menchú, now a Nobel laureate, and others who continue to contribute their granito (tiny grain of sand) in a continuing quest for the truth.-Cara Mertes, Sundance Film Festival

  “Plays like a good thriller…one of the most unique documentaries [at Sundance this year] was Pamela Yates’ GRANITO.

  GREENLIT

  How Green Is

  Hollywood?

  Directed by MIRANDA BAILEY/2011/50mins.

   

  

   

  Movie people are legendarily liberal and left-leaning, particularly when it comes to the environment. Greenlit puts their commitment to the test as filmmaker Miranda Bailey (executive producer of The Squid and The Whale) follows the production of The River Why starring Zack Gilford as it attempts to keep an environmentally friendly set thank to the supervision of a "green" consultant. What starts off with great enthusiasm quickly devolves into this insightful and hilarious film.

   

  OFFICIAL SELECTION: SXSW Film Festival

  Going Green Film Festival

   

  “…Bailey, in turn, learns that going green when making a documentary about a movie that's going green is, simply, too hard. Many gallons of fuel and bottles of water later, this tale demonstrates what not to do when making a green film.”-Austin Chronicle

  "BEST OF CANNES”

  (Grand Prix Winner 2011)

   

  ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA

  Directed by NURI BILGE CEYLON/Turkey/157mins.

  With Muhammet Uzuner, Yilmaz Erdogan, Taner Birsel

   

  

   

  Winner of the GRAND PRIZE at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, Once Upon A Time In Anatolia is the new film from Nuri Bilge

  Ceylon , the celebrated director of Distant, Three Monkeys, and Climates. Late one night, an array of men- a police commissioner, a prosecutor, a doctor, a murder suspect and others- pack themselves into three cars and drive through the endless Anatolian country side, searching for a body across serpentine roads and rolling hills. The suspect claims he was drunk and can’t quite remember where the body was buried; field after field, they dig but discover only dirt. As the night draws on, tensions escalate, and individual stories slowly emerge from the weary small talk of the men. Nothing here is simple, and when the body is found, the real questions begin. At once epic and intimate, Ceylan’s latest explores the twisted web of truth, and the occasional kindness of lies. (Turkish with English subtitles)

  NORWEGIAN WOOD

  Directed by TRAN ANH HUNG/Japan/133mins.

  With Kenichi Matsuyama/Rinko Kikuchi/Kiko Mizuhara

  

  Published in 1987 and since translated into 33 languages, Norwegian Wood is a story of loss and heartbreak in a time of global instability. Haruki Murakami's bestselling novel is brought to the screen by Tran Anh Hung (Golden Lion winner for Cyclo and Academy Award nominee for The Scent of Green Papaya) and features Japanese rising star Kenichi Matsuyama (Death Note) and Oscar nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel) alongside newcomer Kiko Mizuhara. Tokyo, the late 1960s... Students around the world are uniting to overthrow the establishment and Toru Watanabe's personal life is similarly in tumult. At heart, he is deeply devoted to his first love, Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman. But their complex bond has been forged by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Watanabe lives with the influence of death everywhere. That is, until Midori, a girl who is everything that Naoko is not - outgoing, vivacious, supremely self-confident - marches into his life and Watanabe must choose between his past and his future.

  LA RAFLE (THE ROUNDUP)

  Directed by ROSE BOSCH/France/2011/2hrs, 4 mins.

  With Jean Reno, Mélanie Laurent, Gad Elmaleh, Raphäelle Agogué

   

  

   

  In picturesque Montmarte, three children wearing a yellow star play in the streets, oblivious to the darkness spreading over Nazi-occupied

  France . Their parents do not seem too concerned either, somehow putting their trust in the Vichy Government. But beyond this view, much is going on. Hitler demands that the French government round up its Jews and put them on trains for the extermination camps in the East. The collaborators start to put the plan into effect and within a short time, 13,000 of Paris’s Jews, among them 4,000 children, will be rounded up and sent on a road with no return. The fateful date: July 16th, 1942, 68 years ago. With a meticulously constructed script based on extensive research and first-hand accounts, writer/director Rose Bosch brings to the screen one of the most moving dramas of the year. (French, German, and Yiddish, with English subtitles)

  "BEST OF CANNES”

  (Critic’s Week Opening Night 2011)

   

  DECLARATION OF WAR

  (La Guerre est declaree)

   

  

   

  Directed by VALÉRIE DONZELLI/France/2011/100mins.

  With Jérémie Elkaïm and Valérie Donzelli

  The opening night film at this year’s Critics Week at the Cannes Film Festival, this exuberant and deeply moving film follows a new couple, Romeo (Jérémie Elkaïm) and Juliette (Valérie Donzelli), who must face the ultimate test when they discover their newborn child is very ill. Gathering their friends and family together, they confront the ordeal together as a form of warfare. Donzelli infuses the story with unexpected verve using a host of cinematic techniques, music and heartbreaking performances that results in a film about a contemporary couple who surprises even themselves with their ability to fight not only for the life of their child but for each other. The result is a film will bring tears to your eyes but will dazzle you with its contagious vitality for life. Declaration of War draws on the real life experiences of Donzelli and costar/co-writer Elkaïm and what they went through when their own son fell ill. (In French with English subtitles).

  In picturesque Montmarte, three children wearing a yellow star play in the streets, oblivious to the darkness spreading over Nazi-occupied

  France . Their parents do not seem too concerned either, somehow putting their trust in the Vichy Government. But beyond this view, much is going on. Hitler demands that the French government round up its Jews and put them on trains for the extermination camps in the East. The collaborators start to put the plan into effect and within a short time, 13,000 of Paris’s Jews, among them 4,000 children, will be rounded up and sent on a road with no return. The fateful date: July 16th, 1942, 68 years ago. With a meticulously constructed script based on extensive research and first-hand accounts, writer/director Rose Bosch brings to the screen one of the most moving dramas of the year.
