Absurdistan in Bucarest 200 http://www.filmfestivals.com/pixus/festivals/generic/Asurdistan.jpg May 3 2009 12:00AM News Award "We did it! We won the best award any festival has to offer--the Audience Award. At 8:30 PM last night, me and my producer Lauren Versel and my editor David Leonard mounted a small stage at a Union Square boite upon hearing that "City Island"--the movie that many of you dear readers have investested much of the last year in reading about and following the progress of--was the winner of the coveted Heineken Audience Award. Out of the eighty-five movies that Tribeca selected to show this year, we were chosen by the public as the favorite.
Damn I'm happy." The eighth annual Tribeca Film Festival, co-founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff, and presented by founding sponsor American Express, announced the winner of The Heineken Audience Award - City Island - tonight at the Tribeca Filmmaker Lounge, sponsored by Union Square Ballroom, in New York City.

The voting process for The Heineken Audience Award had been taking place throughout the duration of the Festival, as audiences were encouraged to fill out nomination ballots upon exiting screenings of Festival films. Final results were tabulated and announced during the Festival wrap party. Raymond De Felitta, director of City Island, will receive a cash prize of $25,000.

City Island, which made its World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, is directed and written by Raymond De Felitta. The film tells the story of the Rizzo family, who lives on a little-known island in the Bronx that is as quaint and sleepy as any New England town. But the Rizzos are not as picturesque as the island they inhabit, and like most families, they all stop at nothing to avoid the truth. Vince (Andy Garcia) is the worst offender. He is a prison guard who is secretly taking acting lessons and plotting a new career. His daughter is moonlighting as a stripper, while young Vinnie Jr. has a hidden fetish involving a 300-pound neighbor. Vince's wife Joyce (Julianna Margulies) is the family's rock—usually—but lately she can't get her mind off of the mysterious hired help, whose identity only Vinnie knows. The film draws refreshing comedic performances from Garcia and Margulies, and memorable turns from Emily Mortimer and Alan Arkin as, respectively, a fellow student and the teacher in Vince's acting class.

"We have had a rich tradition of documentaries taking the audience award at Tribeca, and this year we are delighted to have a smart, crowd-pleasing comedy with an outstanding ensemble cast, led by Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies, take home The Heineken Audience Award for Raymond De Felitta's City Island," said Nancy Schafer, Executive Director, Tribeca Film Festival. "Raymond is a returning filmmaker who has made a smart family comedy, and we hope that audiences around the world will get to enjoy the film as much as Tribeca audiences have."

City Island will screen tomorrow (Sunday, May 3) at 12:30 pm and 6:30 pm at AMC Village VII, as will the rest of the films that won awards at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival. Specific times for the other films are available on the Festival website, www.tribecafilm.com/filmguide. All other 2009 Festival award winners were announced previously at an awards show on Thursday, April 30, 2009. A full list of winners can be found at www.tribecafilm.com/festival.

city island http://www.filmfestivals.com/pixus/festivals/generic/cityisland.gif Apr 16 2009 12:00AM News Award You may not know Pilsen, but any beer connoisseur can guess from its name that the Czech town is a source of ferment. Pilsner Urquell calls it home, as does the annual festival of Czech films, Finále Plzeň, which runs April 19-25.

The festival dates back to 1968, when the Communist Party allowed a "Spring" thaw. Finále Plzeň sought to acquaint Czechs with their own New Wave of films sweeping world festivals, but three years later packed itself on ice as Czech cinema ran afoul of "Normalization." Revived in 1990 following Velvet Revolution, it has since showcased domestic fare produced from April to April of each year.
You may not know Pilsen, but any beer connoisseur can guess from its name that the Czech town is a source of ferment. Pilsner Urquell calls it home, as does the annual festival of Czech films, Finále Plzeň, which runs April 19-25.

The festival dates back to 1968, when the Communist Party allowed a "Spring" thaw. Finále Plzeň sought to acquaint Czechs with their own New Wave of films sweeping world festivals, but three years later packed itself on ice as Czech cinema ran afoul of "Normalization." Revived in 1990 following Velvet Revolution, it has since showcased domestic fare produced from April to April of each year.

As befits a place with an active brewery and Beer Museum, its film festival mixes new releases alongside dusty gems. How does the present reflect the past and visa-versa? Pilsen brings together filmmakers and films across generations and rolls out the funhouse mirror.

Its 22nd edition screens 150 titles, including 12 fiction features in competition for the coveted Golden Kingfisher award. Turnover (Proměny) opens the revelries in the big hall at Měšťanská beseda. The feature debut by Tomáš Řehořek arrives amid mounting ado, says festival executive director Pavla Kormošová, both about the director's tender age of 21 and about the film's European sensibility. Ironically, the success of the Czech New Wave left a legacy of talky, discursive work lacking the pulse of a more voluptuous cinema, and word is Turnover swerves from what self-deprecatory Czechs see as a national filmic rut.

Like Turnover, Guard No. 47 (Hlídač č. 47) comes with whiff of excitement, having bagged four prizes and rubbed shoulders with George Lucas at Northern California's Tiburon festival. Filip Renč's story of a railway guard who feigns deafness to sleuth out his wife's infidelity picked up three Czech Lions, the Czech Republic's version of the Oscars.

Václav Marhoul's WWII drama, Tobruk, and Michaela Pavlátová‘s coming-of-ager Night Owls (Děti noci) are two other Czech Lion winners in the joust. One that conspicuously is not, Juraj Jakubisko's fantasy gorefest, Bathory, holds the distinction of being the costliest Czech or Slovak production ever, at roughly 300 million crowns (US $20 million). How these movies may fare at Pilsen is anyone's guess.

"Very often the juries at Pilsen have selected different films from those awarded elsewhere," says Pavel Jech, Dean of Prague film academy FAMU and 2009 Golden Kingfisher jurist. Case in point: Jan Sverák‘s Kolya (Kolja) walked away from the 1997 Academy Awards with a statue, but only earned audience trinkets at Pilsen. Or take Petr Zelenka's faux documentary, Year of the Devil (Rok ďábla), which took Grand Prize the 2002 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival—the country's premiere festival—and 11 Czech Lions, while settling for minor kudos at Pilsen. As Jech puts it, the forum "provides another way of celebrating films that have been overlooked."

Which brings us back to its fling with history. This year, Pilsen‘s review of the Sixties—"Czech cinema's most turbulent decade"—takes 1969 as its focus. Festival-goers will also sample forgotten films of 1990s vintage as well as titles from such "cranks" as Karel Kachyňa, Juraj Herz, Milan Kundera and Jan Švankmajer. And retrospective tributes are planned for two iconic Czech directors, Věra Chytilová and František Vláčil. The former may be known to American arthouse patrons for her prankish 60s romp, Daisies (Sedmikrásky) while the latter's epic masterpiece, Marketa Lazarová—considered by Czechs the nation's greatest work—awaits discovery on these shores some four decades after its making.

If raiding film archives is a festival tradition, Czech filmmakers plumbing early literature rides a more recent vogue. Two current titles look to 19th-century Czech literature for inspiration. Goat Story-The Old Prague Legends (Kozí příběh-Pověsti staré Prahy), is being hailed as the first 3D animated feature film in a country famous for its stop motion animation. Not only is Jan Tománe‘s comedic take on the hoary tale fueling chatter, but the Czech cuisine and goats planned for its party have tongues wagging as well. Nostalgia also surfaces in František A. Brabec‘s period drama May (Máj), drawn from the lyrical epic poem Karel Hynek Mácha penned in 1836. Taken together with Guard No. 47 (updated to the Soviet era from Josef Kopta's 1926 novel), Tobruk (inspired by The Red Badge of Courage) and Bathory (a reworking of the legends surrounding the titular Renaissance countess), time-travel is arguably a mini-trend on the Czech screen.

With noted exceptions like Jan Hřebejk's 1999 Cosy Dens (Pelíšky) and 2000 Divided We Fall (Musíme si pomáhat), set around Prague Spring and the German occupation, respectively, looking back hasn't been big in a country where it's often been more comfortable not to. (No surprise that contemporary comedies account for half of Pilsen's fiction slate.) Yet as computer technology eases the filmmaker's scrape with history and fantasy, perhaps more Czech filmmakers will be emboldened to stir up the past.

In the documentary category, where commercial stakes aren't as high, yesterday is more apt to crop up. This year, 24 new Czech non-fictions vie for trophies, selected from 62 submissions, while 10 are presented with no eye on a prize. One award contestant, Helena Třeštíková's René, chronicles two decades in the life of a repeat offender. Among its many garlands is the European Film Academy's prestigious Prix Arte, a first for a Czech film.

As with fiction work, high tech toys are nudging the limits of documentary expression. But whatever technology's impact, FAMU's Jech traces an evolutionary twist in the art form to his own institution. In 2002, filmmaker and "moral guru" Karel Vachek became head of documentary development at FAMU. The upshot, according to Jech, is a phalanx of young disciples who foreground moral issues, "often at the expense of form."

The merits of this approach join the likely topics of debate at forums ranging from discussions and talk shows to exhibits and concerts. Relaxed exchange is a guiding philosophy at what Pilsen's Kormošová likes to call a "workshop festival." She explains, "We're not about red carpets—though we have that too—but we're very friendly, open and non-hectic...so Czech filmmakers have a chance to get together with other filmmakers and industry people from other countries, not just with the audience."

Who says swapping ideas went out with the 60s? Happily, traditions die hard at Finále Plzeň.
