\"Marguerite\"
Marguerite<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Marguerite<\/strong> by Xavier Giannoli (France\/Czech Republic\/Belgium, 127\u2019) Venezia 72<\/p>\n

1921, the beginning of the Roaring Twenties. Not far from Paris. It is party day at Marguerite Dumont\u2019s castle. Like every year, an array of music lovers gathers around a great cause at the owner\u2019s place. Nobody knows much about this woman except that she is rich and that her whole life is devoted to her passion: music. Marguerite sings. She sings wholeheartedly, but she sings terribly out of tune. Blackmailed for a sex scandal, a famous homosexual opera singer will be forced to become her teacher and mentor, but it will not be enough.<\/p>\n

4 September 22:00 Sala Grande<\/strong> (official screening)<\/p>\n

\"In
In Jackson Heights<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Jackson Heights<\/strong> by Frederick Wiseman (Usa, 190\u2019) Fuori Concorso<\/p>\n

Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse communities in the United States and the world. The people who live in Jackson Heights, in their cultural, racial, sexual and ethnic diversity, are representative of the new wave of immigrants to America. Some of the issues the film raises \u2013 assimilation, integration, immigration, cultural and religious differences \u2013 are common to all the major cities of the Western world.<\/p>\n

4 September 13:30 Sala Grande<\/strong> (official screening)<\/p>\n

\"Human\"
Human<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Human<\/strong> by Yann Arthus-Bertrand (France, 188\u2019) Fuori Concorso<\/p>\n

Human, a diptych of narrations and images of our world, offers us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the deepest reaches of a human being. Through testimonies full of love and happiness, as well as hatred and violence, Human brings us face to face with the Other and takes us back to our own lives. Yann Arthus-Bertrand: \u201cI dreamed of a film in which the power of words would resonate with the beauty of the world. Putting the ills of humanity at the heart of my work\u2014poverty, war, immigration, homophobia\u2014I made certain choices. Committed, political choices. But people talked to me about everything: their difficulty in growing as well as their love and happiness. This richness of the human word lies at the heart of human. The movie relates the voices of all those, men and women, who entrusted me with their stories. And it becomes their messenger..\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

12 September 14:30 Sala Darsena (official screening)<\/p>\n

\"Na
Na ri xiawu (Afternoon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Na ri xiawu (Afternoon)<\/strong> by Tsai Ming-liang (Chinese Taipei, 137\u2019) Fuori Concorso<\/p>\n

At the ruins, in the afternoon. The conversation between a dying man and his most beloved person: director Tsai Ming-liang and his partner for the last 20 years, actor Lee Kang Sheng.<\/p>\n

\"Helmut
Helmut Berger, Actor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Helmut Berger, Actor<\/strong> by Andreas Horvath (Austria, 89\u2019) Venezia Classici<\/p>\n

The film is an intimate portrait of the aged Helmut Berger, exposing the brusqueness of his character for what it really is: a cry for attention, closeness and intimacy. The radicality and ruthlessness with which he lays bare his emotions and exhibits his body bear resemblance to the Viennese Actionism movement. And much like the Actionists Berger uses performance art as a means of articulating his discomfort.<\/p>\n

9 September 17:00 Sala Casin\u00f2<\/p>\n

10 September 22:00 Sala Casin\u00f2<\/p>\n

\"The
The 1000 Eyes of Dr Maddin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 1000 Eyes of Dr Maddin<\/strong> by Yves Montmayeur (France, 65\u2019) Venezia Classici<\/p>\n

Daniel N. Casagrande: \u201cGuy Maddin\u2019s cinema is intrinsecally surreal, happily anarchic, intellectually compelling, drastically poetic, fierce, cinephile; many of his works are a visually elaborate tribute, among others, to Jean Genet and Kenneth Anger; \u201cSissy Boy Slap Party\u201d is probably the best example of how the queer aesthetics is Maddin\u2019s cinematic grammar.\u201d<\/em> The documentary shows, among thers, interviews to John Waters and Kenneth Anger.<\/p>\n

8 September 15:30 Sala Casin\u00f2<\/p>\n

10 September 20:15 Sala Casin\u00f2<\/p>\n

\"Baby
Baby Bump<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Baby Bump<\/strong> by Kuba Czekaj (Poland, 89\u2019) Biennale College – Cinema<\/p>\n

Kuba Czekaj: \u201cMy intention was to create an unrealistic movie. A comic-book style film about physical adolescence\u2014about the body that changes, grows and turns into a monster. The story is focused on the corporeality of an 11-year-old boy and the frustration it causes\u2014the kid doesn\u2019t want to be noticed and belittled. He doesn\u2019t know what is happening with him. He rejects the fact that his transformation has begun. He escapes into his fantasy world\u2014a cruel fairy tale where his contacts with his community and his mother\u2014 unable to accept that her son changes\u2014assume final proportions. Baby Bump is a portrait of a child trapped in adolescence\u2014few say it out loud, but growing up really isn\u2019t for kids.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
