Premiile Gopo 2013 awards for Romanian film – nominations

$

The Asociaţia Pentru Promovarea Filmului Românesc (Association for Romanian Film Promotion) has announced the nominees for their 7th Annual Premiile Gopo (Gopo Awards) for Romanian cinema.

As with last year's Premiile Gopo when Cristi Puiu declined to submit Aurora (and as with this year's Österreichischen Filmpreis where Michael Haneke didn't submit Amour), Cristian Mungiu requested that his award-winning film După dealuri (Beyond the Hills) not be considered for awards contention. But whereas last year they nominated Aurora anyhow (and it ended up winning the top prizes), this time they chose to honour Mungiu's request. However, with its actresses Cosmina Stratan and Cristina Flutur removed (they had shared the Best Actress Award at Cannes), the jury decided that there weren't enough Best Actress options and so that category was dropped.

Silviu Purcărete's Undeva la Palilula (Somewhere in Palilula) led the field with 11 nominations.
Next were Radu Jude's Toată lumea din familia noastră (Everybody in Our Family) and Gabriel Achim's Visul lui Adalbert (Adalbert's Dream), each with 9 mentions. Tudor Giurgiu's comedy Despre oameni şi melci (Of Snails and Men) followed with eight nominations. All four leaders received nominations for Best Film and Best Director.

There were three French-language films in the Best European Film category – Le gamin au vélo (The Kid with a Bike) by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, Le Havre by Aki Kaurismaki and Holy Motors by Leos Carax. Tomas Alfredson's English-language Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was the lone exception.

The nominations were selected by a jury consisting of director Marian Crișan, actress Ana Ularu, producer Velvet Moraru, director of photography Alexandru Sterian, production designer Viorica Petrovici, and film critics Cristian Tudor Popescu, Cristi Luca, Alin Ludu Dumbravă, Cristi Mărculescu and Anca Grădinariu.

The jury selected the nominees from a total of 61 submitted films including 16 features, 13 documentaries and 32 short films released in cinemas or competing in festivals in 2012. This is a substantial drop from last year's 98 submitted films.

The 7th Annual will take place on March 25 at the Opera Națională in Bucharest.

On March 7th and 8th the Caribbean Studies Students Union (CARSSU) and the Cinema Studies Students Union (CINSSU) will be hosting the first-ever Caribbean Film Festival at the William Doo Auditorium on U of Tʹ St. George Campus.

This festival will showcase documentaries and narrative films that pertain to the Caribbean region, its diaspora, and will traverse a number of topics that delve into gender, race, ethnicity, popular culture, politics, sustainability of the environment, as well as the standing legacies of colonialism that still haunt the Caribbean. Our current line-up includes films with stories and histories from Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad. Prior to screening each individual film, an introduction will be made to the film and followed by a brief Q + A discussion with the director.

Our goal for this festival is to increase the accessibility and viewership of Caribbean-based films not only to its diaspora or within the University realm, but to the wider public. Moreover, we hope to portray the unique and differing inter-island narratives and perspectives. Please come out and support us in retelling and relaying our Caribbean stories and histories! It is a FREE event! Doors open at 5:30pm and screenings start at 6pm sharp.

TJFF's FilmMatters announces 2013 screening line-up

(Toronto - March 7, 2013) Now in its sixth year, FilmMatters is the Toronto Jewish Film Festival's popular educational outreach programme, that offers young students a unique opportunity to utilize film as a means to better understand cultural and religious diversity. The screenings are free and include a special guest speaker from the film, as well as a teacher resource package, prepared by FilmMatters curator Susan Starkman, and provided as part of the student-screening programme.

"FilmMatters offers a diverse range of films that inspire, challenge and engage students," says Susan Starkman, programmer and curator of FilmMatters, "in a manner that is relevant to their own experiences. We invite schools from across the GTA with this opportunity to view new topical films and to interact with the special guests in attendance. Our in-theatre programme has proved to be such a success over the last few years that we now offer an in-school programme for schools in the priority areas of the GTA.”

This year's FilmMatters exciting line-up:

Azrieili Short Film Series
Canada, 60 minutes
Recommended for Grades 9-12
Guest: Judy Abrams, author of the memoir, Tenuous Threads
Monday April 15, 2013
10 a.m.
Royal Ontario Museum


Inspired by the award-winning memoirs of Canadian Holocaust survivors, the Azrieli Foundation created five short films in 2012 with the hopes of broadening the reach of these impressive life-stories through the medium of film and animation. In the short films, the authors reflect on their histories from childhood through to their experiences during the war to their present lives in Canada. More than half a century later, the diversity of stories allows readers to put a face on what was lost, and to grasp the enormity of what happened to six million Jews – one story at a time. The films are divided into an animated excerpt from the author’s memoir and a four to five minute profile.

Nono, The Zig Zag Kid
The Netherlands/Belgium, 90 minutes
Recommended for Grades 5-7
Tuesday April 16, 2013
10 a.m.
Royal Ontario Museum


Based on the acclaimed novel by David Grossman, The Zig Zag Kid is a witty, spirited and entertaining coming-of-age tale for children and adults alike. Nono dreams of being like his father, a famous police inspector, but his free spirit and imagination keep getting him into trouble. With his bar-mitzvah days away, Nono is sent to his uncle to shape up. On the train he receives a mysterious letter that leads him to master criminal Felix Glick. Disguised and on the run, the pair set off on an action-packed adventure to the French Riviera, where Nono begins gathering clues about the identity of the mother he never knew. An exciting and uplifting story of discovering who you are.

Louder Than A Bomb
United States, 99 minutes
Recommended for Grades 9-12
Guest: Nate Marshall, slam poet featured in the film
Thursday April 18, 2013
10 a.m.
Royal Ontario Museum


Hailed as "one of the most inspiring and exhilarating documentaries in years" (Steve Pond, The Wrap), Louder Than a Bomb tells the story of four Chicago high school poetry teams as they prepare for and compete in the world's largest youth slam. By turns hopeful and heartbreaking, the film captures the turbulent lives of these unforgettable kids, exploring the ways writing shapes their world, and vice versa. Louder Than a Bomb is not about "high school poetry" as we often think of it. It's about language as a joyful release, irrepressibly talented teenagers obsessed with making words dance. While the topics they tackle are often deeply personal, what they put into their poems-and what they get out of them-is universal: the defining work of finding one's voice.

400 Miles To Freedom
United States, 60 minutes
Recommended for Grades 9-12
Guest: Director and subject of the film, Avishai Yeganyahu
Friday, April 19
10 a.m.
Royal Ontario Museum


Avishai Yeganyahu was 10 years old when his family, members of the Beta Israel, a secluded 2500-year old community of observant Jews in northern Ethiopia, began their dangerous escape from the country. Kidnapped from a refugee camp in Sudan, Avishai was eventually freed and his family was transported to Israel as part of Operation Moses. As part of a racial minority in Israel, Avisahi longs for a place where he won’t be called “falasha” (outsider). Using his own experience as a springboard, Yeganyahu launches an inquiry into other Jewish minority groups, leading him to other African, Asian and Latino Jews in Israel and the United States. 400 Miles To Freedom is a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of Jewish diversity across the world.

FilmMatters is made possible by the generous support of the Azrieli Foundation and the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The dates for this year's TJFF FilmMatters Program are April 15, 16, 18, and 19, 2013.

FilmMatters screenings are now held at The ROM Theatre - 100 Queen’s Park Circle (Museum subway)
All screenings are FREE and begin at 10:00am

The third annual Toronto Irish Film Festival (TIRFF) celebrates the best of Irish cinema on Friday, March 8 and Saturday, March 9, 2013. With 20 Irish films, including 15 Canadian premieres, the theme of TIRFF 2013 is “A Gathering of Irish film lovers” and echoes Tourism Ireland’s worldwide “The Gathering” campaign, which encourages the global Irish diaspora to return to their hometowns in 2013 for clan reunions. TIRFF will bring together the GTA Irish community at the prestigious TIFF Bell Lightbox, located at 350 King Street West, in the heart of Toronto’s entertainment district.

Pilgrim Hill is slotted for the Festival’s Opening Night on March 8 at 7 p.m., sponsored by Tourism Ireland. Pilgrim Hill is a cinematic love letter to Ireland’s rural countryside and an incredible achievement for first-time filmmaker Gerard Barrett, who was awarded the Irish Film Board’s Rising Star Award for his work on the film at the 2013 Irish Film & Television Awards this month. Immediately following the film will be an audience Q&A session with the film’s rising stars, Joe Mullins and Muiris Crowley, who will travel from Ireland to attend the celebration. Prior to the movie, the Irish Choral Society will perform a specially commissioned repertoire, “Ireland at the Movies,” for festival attendees.


A Gala Reception will follow the film at Quinn’s Steakhouse & Irish Bar, located at 96 Richmond Street West, at 9 p.m.

Jump will be the Closing Night feature on March 9 at 9 p.m., sponsored by KPMG. Kieron J. Walsh’s (When Brendan Met Trudy) award-winning modern-day drama looks at the lives of four young people who crash into each other on New Year’s Eve amid the ancient ruins of Derry, U.K. City of Culture 2013.

Other highlights include Dollhouse, the feature debut of writer/director Kirsten Sheridan, daughter of famed Irish director Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot). The film showcases the talents of Ireland’s newest acting talent. Dollhouse screens on March 9 at 7 p.m.

The festival’s lineup also includes a Free Screening for new arrivals, a Local Heroes Program highlighting the work of young Irish filmmakers who now call Toronto their home and a Shorts Program showcasing Ireland’s new wave of talented directors.

In keeping with Tourism Ireland’s ‘The Gathering’ initiative, this year’s festival brings together all four corners of the Irish community for a celebration of Irish film,” says TIRFF Executive Director Michael Barry. “Whether you’re here 20 years or 20 days, whether you’re from the North or the South of Ireland, the 2013 Toronto Irish Film Festival will celebrate all aspects of life in Ireland.”

In addition to gathering the Irish community through entertainment, TIRFF brings together members of the Toronto Irish community on a deeper level. Earlier this year, TIRFF launched its Volunteer Initiative for Toronto New Arrivals in collaboration with the Irish Canadian Immigration Centre (I/CAN) to help integrate new Irish immigrants to Toronto into the community. This year’s TIRFF volunteersare all from this group of newcomers. “I/CAN does great work with Irish communities coast to coast and we wanted to play our part by providing a community connection for new arrivals right here in Toronto,” says Barry. “Not only is the festival our way of connecting Irish in the GTA to their home through the magic of cinema, it’s also a way to connect the multiple Irish generations living here to one another.”

Tickets range from $15 to $20. To purchase tickets to the third annual Toronto Irish Film Festival, visit torontoirishfilmfest.com and click on the BUY TICKETS link or call 416.599.TIFF (8433).

Greta is on the verge of taking her own life and Pearse has a bounty on his head for asking difficult questions about his missing brother Eddie Kelly. As the clock ticks down to midnight and the night's events expertly fall into place, Jump weaves an existential portrait of our character's lives as their hopes, fears and secrets are revealed.
