A faithful and articulated reconstruction of the events which led to the ritualistic and “political” suicide of the author Yukio Mishima in 1970. The second-to-the-last film by the great Koji Wakamatsu, a profound and detached dissection of Japan’s history, the other face of United Red Army and the second chapter of an ideal diptych. Essential and complex, suave and cutting. In its own way, enigmatic.

They meet in a hotel and spend the night together: the first of 28 adulterous and secret rendezvous, in a crescendo of complications, mounting jealousies, and complex relationships. The impossibility of sex without involvement and the hypocrisies of emotions, told in a flow of words that are both light-hearted and intense, in a series of frigid non-places. The debut film by actor Matt Ross.

April 1974: a boy and a girl play tennis; on the other side of the fence, they discover a world that is new to them. The Carnation Revolution according to Miguel Gomes, in a semi-serious political film, part slapstick, part home movie and with a focus on newsreels of the time.

In June 2011, as a sign of transparency, TEPCO installed a live webcam at the Fukushima nuclear reactor and it revealed the extent of the disaster: a window onto the spectral landscape of an apocalyptical future, populated by creatures straight out of the imagery of Honda Ishirō. But the unexpected gesture of a workman, facing the camera, reminds us where we are and what our responsibilities are.

“Until you’re thirty, you have the face God gave you; after that, you have the face you deserve.” This is what they all tell Francisco on the day he turns thirty. In the meantime, he wanders around the party dressed like a cowboy, as though he were one of the children he teaches but can’t stand. Adulthood, between mystery and adventure, in search of a story to interpret, among the many which were learned as children. Including love.

Nora did something illegal in the past to help her husband. Many years later, she continues to be the “doll” of the house. But the past returns and Nora changes. Based on Ibsen, with a screenplay by David Mercer, a film which has echoes of feminism and the social commitment of its star, Jane Fonda. “To me, Nora is a woman who does what she wants in a man’s world; Jane struck me as the ideal actress.”

“Thirty years later, I’m on my way to Macao, where I haven’t been since I was a child. I received an e-mail from Candy, a friend I hadn’t heard from in a long time. She told me she was mixed up with the wrong people again. She was in danger and she was asking me to join her.” Beyond the confines of a documentary, in search of the perfect Film Noir, made of places, gazes and secrets, where memory is a mysterious island you might never return from.

Abigail (Amanda Plummer) is getting on in years; she warms her solitude by wearing the cloak of the good Samaritan, taking care of her father and the blind (Burt Young). Love – the real thing – arrives like an “angel,” a gift from a down-and-out fellow (Will Patton). A tender apologue about dependence and freedom, soul searching and communion with the world, which the Asian-American Lee Isaac Chung (whose film Lucky Life is also in Waves) has based on a Korean legend.

One night, two young men are in a car wreck near the house of one of their professors, who reconstructs their life over the last few weeks. Even more agonizing than The Servant, a merciless portrait of the grudges, jealousies and subtle desperation hidden below the peaceful surface of Oxford life. Pinter’s screenplay is right on target, the friends-rivals Bogarde and Baker are very sharp, the “prey” Jaqueline Sassard is impenetrable.

The slow movements, the half-awake condition of memory: the feeble resistance of time in an elegy to old age. The film testament of Stephen Dwoskin (who died on June 28^th, 2012) is a legacy of tenderness to a world which is hanging on to the margins of existence. Beyond the pain and the memories, in the persistence of the present. Filmed (in part) by filmmakers who were close to him and with music by Alexander Balanescu.

26-year-old Lara is restless and dissatisfied; she spends her nights roaming clubs with her friend Nora. One day, she realizes she is pregnant after having had  some occasional sex and has to decide whether or not to keep the baby. An all-female drama, with dry and measured tones, a story of solitude, maturity and maternity, without sidestepping doubt, pain and tenderness.

Mocking and histrionic, Hamlet sits on the throne, dressed like a woman. With him are a boy and a girl, who the prince touches and caresses, abandoning himself to an overwhelming flow of verbosity. A monologue or not a monologue? Oof! Shakespeare and Petrolini, blood on the stage, the queen with legs akimbo, Ophelia and Lucio Battisti. In 3D, the cult show written and performed by Filippo Timi.

In early March 1991, a number of ships laden with men, women and children appeared off the Adriatic coast of southern Italy. It was the beginning of the so-called “Exodus of the Albanians.” Never before in the post-war period had a mass emigration of such proportions taken place. Who were they? What were they running away from? And where are they today, 20 years later?

Anita is a film of encounters and timeless characters, met during the course of the imaginary journey of Guido and Anita, the lovers and protagonists of the unpublished screenplay by Fellini, Viaggio con Anita. A hypnotic trip back  to the childhood of a secret Italy, the subconscious of a country, safeguarded in old super8 movies that had been forgotten in the attic.

Sumptuous, crazy, supremely kitsch, the literary adaptation you wouldn’t expect: the tragic story of Tolstoy’s heroine, encapsulated on a stage that expands and deforms itself until it envelopes the streets of Moscow and balls at the Imperial palace. Somewhere between Baz Luhrmann and Kenn Russell, a pop piece directed by Joe Wright and written by Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love), starring Keira Knightley, Jude Law and Aaron Johnson.

Village celebrations, karaoke, fireworks, wild boar hunting, diving off the bridge, the loves which are consummated in the one month of the year when Portugal’s inland regions are repopulated. Part anthropologist and part storyteller, Gomes captures the soul of his country, transforming a small innocent world into a universe of faces, places and stories to be told.

Arianna uses thread to sew clothes. Her boyfriend, Adolfo, keeps bees which fly away. He loves her deeply but he feels a growing need to go away. She waits for his presence to become an absence, holding within the breath of love. A film about the nostalgia that already inhabits a house that will soon be left, written with patient yet taut gestures, reminiscent of Garrel, with break-ups and embraces that give no respite to love.

The drawings of the opening credits are by Roland Topor. The film is paired with the rare documentary portrait from 1979 that Humberto López y Guerra dedicated to the artist.

Dorota lives in a village in Slovakia with her family and makes plans with her boyfriend. The local unemployment situation forces her to look for a job in the Czech Republic, where she works shifts in a textile factory and renounces all her dreams. Suspended between her stubborn refusal to give in, resignation and a glimmer of hope, the first movie by documentary filmmaker Iveta Grófová deals head-on with a theme of vital relevance.

After the clashes in Tahir Square on 2/2/2011, a wealthy and modern-thinking revolutionary woman and a poor and manipulated man develop a strong relationship. Yousry Nasrallah (at the 2004 TFF with La porte du soleil) depicts the Arab spring in a nervous and direct style, influenced by documentary filmmaking and Rossellini’s neorealism, and with a strictly “insider’s” viewpoint.

Ken Jacobs, a master of the American avant-garde, recounts Zuccotti Park and Occupy Wall Street. An attempt to make an abstract film about City Hall’s fountain becomes an ironic and mocking letter to Mayor Bloomberg and his “army” of policemen.

A young, penniless, Dutch painter goes to the apartment where he usually meets his lover; instead, the police show up and accuse him of having killed the woman. A merciless noir about non-involvement, the relations between the classes and bourgeois cynicism; a claustrophobic voyage back in time and into the tricks of memory and perception.

A screen adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ play The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore, a pompous drama which John Waters loved, with a bejeweled Liz Taylor and Richard Burton in a black kaftan (their marriage was going through a stormy period).

Stockholm, 1976: two fourteen-year-old inmates at a detention center for minors are recruited by a prostitution ring frequented by politicians and diplomats. Based on a true scandal, the film is both a personal drama and a political thriller, with overtones of the vintage aesthetics of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and the moral rectitude of All the President’s Men. With an unbridled Pernilla August in the role of the Madam.

A woman and her son get in a taxi to go home. But they have chosen the wrong cab: the man knocks them out and takes them to his isolated house, which they will never leave again. The years pass and the boy grows up, in chains. Vincent D’Onofrio, Eamon Farren and Julia Ormond star in the new nightmare by Jennifer Lynch (David’s daughter), who has matured greatly since Boxing Helena.

Calvin is celebrating Christmas with his wife and daughter when, from amongst the decorations and the lights, deathly pale faces and stumbling figures appear. Christmas at the Lansdales: based on a short story by Joe Lansdale (who is also the producer), a zombie story scripted by his son Keith and directed by T. L. Lankford. Shot near home (in Nacogdoches, Texas), on a low budget, an eccentric prank which recalls The Drive-In.

All media, including cinema, are hugely responsible for a crisis that goes beyond politics and money. In Greece it is hard to distinguish between the proverbial feces and the media ventilator that spreads the stench. There will always be shit, this is a search for a different ventilator.

After three youths assault and kill his wife, a young man develops a severe case of paranoid agoraphobia. It’s bad news when the three hooded figures return to threaten him and his daughter. An anxiety-ridden horror movie from Ireland, with a sick and squalid atmosphere; a metaphorical paean to overcoming metropolitan and existential fears. Which doesn’t forget to pay its dues to the genre and winks at Silent Hill fans.

CITTÀ BIANCA

A tribute to Francesco Pasinetti, the first Italian critic to consider cinema an art form. Active in Italy between the two wars, he also directed sophisticated documentaries primarily about his hometown, Venice. Like the urban elegies Città Bianca, Lumiei and Latte per la città, dedicated to  the professions in the Venice lagoon, and Il canale degli angeli, which inventively overlaps two images of Venice, a real one and a fantasy.

Two American tourists – a couple expecting a baby – are on a romantic get-away on a small island off the coast of Mexico: a paradise of sun, sea, and light, with lots of children and no adults. Directed by Makinov, the anonymous Russian director, a remake of the Spanish cult movie from 1976, Island of the Damned by Narciso Ibanez Serrador. The obsession of the Other, personified by childhood.

A composer, who is tired of accepting jobs he is ashamed of, goes to visit a friend in a village in Spain, hoping to find serenity and have an excuse to encounter  his daughter, whom he rarely sees. But he can’t avoid accepting a request to direct an amateur choir. A bittersweet comedy starring Miki Manojlovic, Maribel Verdù and Neri Marcorè as a Spanish barber.

A phone call from a self-styled policeman accuses a young waitress at a fast food restaurant of theft. The imposter convinces the manager and the employees to become the prison guards and then the torturers of the girl. A disturbing and incisive reflection on idiocy and the herd instinct, on blind faith in the face of “authority,” and on the ease with which we renounce our rights. The horror of “I was only following orders.”

Along with Le tecniche dell’assenza, Concerto per attore solo is the only existing video showing Carmelo Bene rehearsing onstage. Exceptional real time video recordings of 32 days spent rehearsing Macbeth show the basic elements of his poetics: the techniques of absence, un-thinking, the flow of conscience, the phoné (the voice), the thespian machine, the suspension of the tragic, incommunicability, unrepresentability.

A six-year-old Korean, Jung, is adopted by a Belgian couple who already have four children. After life in the orphanage, the boy starts a new life of contradictions and rebellion, until he learns to accept himself. The true story of one of the two directors becomes an animated film, with live action inserts and clips of family movies in super8. Audience Award at the 2012 Annecy Film Festival.

Two children wander around the streets of Brooklyn, guided by the drawings of stars they find along their way. With the help of a Cyclops and a giant, they end up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. McAbee, a former leader of the New York band The Billy Nayer Show, sets the movie camera at child level and, like a Peanuts comic strip, tells the moving and very serious fairytale of two innocents out to discover the world.
