We are thrilled to launch JIFF in Perth, the Gold Coast and Auckland.

BAYSIDE FILM FESTIVAL
website
Cold in July...but red-hot in August at the
BAYSIDE FILM FESTIVAL
TICKETS
annual Bayside Film Festival just around the corner, there’s no need to venture far afield to get a five star ‘cinematic fix’ as the 2014 Festival has a show-stopping line-up, along with a fabulous new home at Palace Dendy Brighton!
Screening from Wednesday 27 to Sunday 31 August, Artistic Director, Richard Moore, who is helming Bayside for the second consecutive year, has continued to expand the program by sourcing an outstanding and varied slate of independent features from around the globe. There’s also the renowned Youth Documentary and Digital Stories Program, which, in keeping with the event’s proud tradition, continue to showcase the talent of young, local filmmakers.
Opening night will see the Victorian premiere of the US thriller, Cold in July, directed by Jim Mickle (Stake Land, We Are What We Are) and starring Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard and Don Johnson. Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and screening courtesy of Umbrella Entertainment, this genre-bending tale follows an average family man whose uneventful life erupts after he accidentally kills a home intruder. Screening with Cold in July will be the award-winning claymation short No More Mr. Mice Guy, from Sydney-based teenage brothers
Ben and Josh McCarthy – which takes a comic look at a couple’s efforts to rid their home of some pesky, movie-mad mice. Rounding off Bayside’s five-day filmic journey will be a trip of a different kind with the endearing Land Ho (Sony Pictures) in which two aging buddies – Mitch, a lewd American loudmouth and Colin, a gentle, soft-spoken Australian, set off to Iceland in an attempt to reclaim their youth on a tour of Reykjavik nightclubs, trendy spas and rugged campsites.
Additional highlights of the 2014 Festival include:
ELSA AND FRED (USA) – Australian Premiere
Screening courtesy of StudioCanal

The story of two people who discover that it’s never too late to find love. Both set in their ways,

There Fred discovers Elsa, a woman obsessed with the Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini and his film La Dolce Vita. Elsa dreams of playing Anita Eckberg in her famous scene walking through Rome’s Trevi Fountain pursued by the devilishly handsome Marcello Mastroianni. When curmudgeonly Fred meets Elsa’s frenzy, he’s moved to try and make her dream come true. A bittersweet comedy for the young at heart.
A PROMISE (France) – Australian Premiere
Screening courtesy of Vendetta Films
Directed by Patrice Leconte and starring Alan Rickman, Rebecca Hall & Richard Madden

Screening courtesy of Potential Films
Directed by Daniel Burman and starring Guillermo Francella, Ines Estevez, & Alejandro Awada

The award-winning new film from Uberto Pasolini (producer of worldwide smash The Full Monty), STILL LIFE is a poignant and life-affirming drama that follows in the best tradition of humanist British cinema. For 22 years, life for the calm and insular John May (the incomparable Eddie Marsan) has been his work for the local council in South London, finding the next of kin for those who have passed away alone. But in this age of ‘efficiency’, John’s meticulousness is no longer considered an asset. He’s made redundant, and left with one final assignment: a search for the relatives of a neighbour, Billy Stoke. John methodically pieces together fragments of Billy’s life; a mix of mischief, misadventure, love and regret, most of all for an abandoned daughter, Kelly (Joanne Froggatt, Downton Abbey). John and Kelly are naturally drawn to each other, and as their friendship blossoms, his outlook opens imperceptibly to life’s infinite possibilities...
Beautifully observed, profoundly affecting and laced with moments of Ealing-esque humour, STILL LIFE is a celebration of dignity and personal connection.

REACHING FOR THE MOON
Director: Bruno Barreto
Cast: Miranda Otto, Gloria Pires, Tracy Middendorf
Release Date: 17 July, 2014
Two iconic women. One passion.
Based on the true love story of Pulitzer-Prize-Winning Elizabeth Bishop and Lota de Macedo Soares REACHING FOR THE MOON is a sophisticated tale of an unlikely romance between two extraordinary artists, set against the backdrop of political upheaval and a clash of cultures.
Grappling with writer's block, legendary American poet Elizabeth Bishop (Miranda Otto) travels from New York City to Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s to visit her college friend, Mary (Tracy Middendorf). Hoping to find inspiration on Mary's sprawling estate, Elizabeth winds up with much more - a tempestuous relationship with Mary's bohemian partner, architect Lota de Macedo Soares (Glória Pires), that rocks the staid writer to her foundation. Alcoholism, geographical distance and a military coup come between the lovers, but their intimate connection spans decades and forever impacts the life and work of these two extraordinary artists. The attraction of two polar-opposite women has rarely been so volatile and so erotically charged on the big screen.
Coming Soon to Sun Yarraville, Belgrave Cameo and The Kino Cinemas

ANY DAY NOW
website
Winner of 10 Audience Awards at film festivals around the country and starring the amazing Alan Cumming, Any Day Now is a powerful tale of love, acceptance and family. When a teenager with Down syndrome (Isaac Leyva) is abandoned by his mother, a gay couple (Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt) takes him in and becomes the loving family he's never had. But when their unconventional living arrangement is discovered by authorities, the men are forced to fight a biased legal system to save the life of the child they have come to love as their own. Inspired by a true story from the late 1970s, Any Day Now touches on legal and social issues that are as relevant today as they were 40 years ago.

FILL THE VOID
website
Release Date: 28 November 2013
“I don’t know when I’ve ever seen a film as eerily perfect in tone and taste as Fill the Void.” — The Weekly Standard
Directed by Rama Burshtein.
Classification: M, 90 mins.
Country: Israel.
Language: Hebrew (subtitled).
Sweeping up at the 2012 Ophir Awards (Israel’s Oscars), this ground-breaking feature is the first film to be made by an ultra-orthodox* Jewish woman for a general audience. Following triumphant screenings at last year’s New York and Telluride Film Festivals, Rama Burshtein’s debut affords a glimpse into a somewhat exotic, secret and sealed world. At 18 Shira (Haras Yaron, who won Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival), the youngest daughter of an ultra orthodox family, is faced with a choice not unlike those of a Jane Austen heroine. When her elder sister, Esther (Renana Raz) dies, Shira’s mother, Rivka (Irit Sheleg), suggests a match for her daughter in a desperate attempt to keep her newborn grandchild close to her. Fill the Void boldly emphasises both the loneliness of the heroine’s predicament and its implications for those closest to her.

Director: Bille August

Duration: 112 mins
Rating: M - Mature themes, violence and brief sex scene
Release Date: 5 December, 2013
Based on Pierre Mercier's bestselling novel NIGHT TRAIN TO LISBON, Bille August directs a star-studded international cast headed by Jeremy Irons.
Raimund Gregorius (Jeremy Irons), affectionately called ‘Mundus’ by his students, is a high-school Latin teacher and an expert in ancient languages. His life is transformed following a mysterious encounter with a young Portuguese woman on the old Kirchenfeld Bridge in the beautiful Swiss city of Bern, whom he manages to save from jumping to her death in the icy waters below.
Raimund is intrigued but the woman disappears, leaving behind her coat. Inside it he discovers a book by a Portuguese doctor called Amadeu de Prado, which contains a train ticket. He spontaneously decides to use it, setting off on an adventurous journey to Lisbon. While looking for the author, Raimund revisits a dark chapter in the country’s history and unveils a tragic love triangle. He is drawn into a mysterious puzzle where the stakes are extremely high, riddled with political and emotional intrigue. Ultimately his journey transcends time and space, touching on matters of history, philosophy, and medicine, encountering love and evolving into a liberating search for the true meaning of life.

Director: Ruben Alves

Duration: 91 mins
Rating: CTC
Release Date: 12 December, 2013
Writer/director Ruben Alves’ enormously charming, semi-autobiographical Parisian comedy is the story of a loving, hardworking married couple whose long-held dream of returning to their homeland finally comes true – only to be secretly undermined by their friends and neighbours.
Maria (Rita Blanco) and José (Joaquim de Almeida) emigrated from Portugal 30 years ago. Ever since, they have lived in the modest ground floor lodgings of a chic apartment building in Paris, raising their now adult daughter and teenage son, and becoming utterly indispensible to all around them.
When José learns he has inherited the family winery and the couple’s dream of returning to Portugal is now possible, they are elated – but struggle with how to reveal the big news. However word spreads anyway, and soon their family, neighbours, friends and employers are scrambling behind the scenes to find ways to prevent them from leaving…
Richly informed by his own upbringing as the son of Portuguese immigrants in Paris, Alves’ warm-hearted, cross-cultural comedy features a terrific ensemble cast, spot-on comic timing and a thoroughly appealing central couple, whose dilemmas are portrayed with great tenderness and affection.

This intriguing film asks the question: when admirable aims lead to disastrous deeds, does the intention or the aftermath win out?
Fringe-dwelling farmhand Josh (Jesse Eisenberg), his high school dropout girlfriend Dena (Dakota Fanning) and their ex-marine mentor Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard) plan an attack on a hydroelectric dam in Portland to protest the environmental devastation in their midst, but they are sidelined by the unforeseen consequences of their actions.

HANNAH ARENDT
website
Hannah Arendt is a portrait of the genius that shook the world with her discovery of “the banality of evil.” After she attends the Nazi Adolf Eichmann’s trail in Jerusalem, Arendt dares to write about the Holocaust in terms no one had ever heard before. Her work instantly provokes a scandal, and Arendt stands strong as she is attacked by friends and foes alike. But as the German-Jewish émigré struggles to suppress her own painful associations with the past, the film exposes her beguiling blend of arrogance and vulnerability – revealing a soul defined and derailed by exile.
Hannah Arendt provides an insight into the profound importance of her ideas. But even more moving is the chance to understand the warm heart and icy brilliance of this complex and deeply compelling woman.

THE ROCKET
A boy who is believed to bring bad luck to everyone around him leads his family and a couple of ragged misfits through Laos to find a new home. After a calamity-filled journey through a land scarred by the legacy of war, to prove he's not cursed he builds a giant rocket to enter the most dangerous competition of the year: the Rocket Festival. Set in the rarely seen tribal mountains of Laos, The Rocket is gripping yet heartwarming cinema in the vein of the Oscar winning Salaam Bombay, Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries and the kids' story in Slumdog Millionaire, with a touch of Little Miss Sunshine. It is a universal story about the determination of a boy who has the odds stacked against him, about overcoming self-doubt, about forgiveness and the power of unconditional love. The Rocket stars acclaimed Thai/Lao actor Thep Phongam in the role of a damaged but humorous former CIA soldier who becomes a mentor to our young hero.

THE OTHER SON
“suspenseful and touching… excellent casting and a thoughtful, layered script…” Screen Daily Two young men, one Israeli and one Palestinian, discover they were accidentally switched at birth. Two families divided by fate, but united by understanding. As he is preparing to join the Israeli army for his national service, a blood test proves Joseph is not his parents' biological son. An investigation reveals he was inadvertently switched at birth with Yacine, the son of a Palestinian family from the West Bank, both having been born in Haifa during a missile attack in the Gulf War. A touching deeply personal family drama, the filmmakers have steered clear of sentimentality or melodrama as each character is forced to reassess their respective identities, their values and their beliefs. |

KILL THE MESSENGER
website
With thanks to Transmission Films, we’d like to offer you a chance to work with us on KILL THE MESSENGER, an intense psychological drama starring two-time academy award nominee Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker), Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Michael Sheen. Opening in cinemas nationally on October 30.
Based on true events, KILL THE MESSENGER tells the remarkable story of a small-town reporter who uncovered one of the most elaborate criminal conspiracies in the history of the US government - unleashing a CIA smear campaign that turned the entire American political and media establishment against him.
Renner stars in this dramatic retelling of the remarkable true story of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb. Webb was a seasoned and respected reporter at the San Jose Mercury News. His career took a startling turn when an upscale cocaine trafficker’s girlfriend slipped him a Grand Jury transcript which revealed a link between U.S. intelligence and Central American cocaine smuggling. Webb soon realised that he has stumbled onto a story which led to the shady origins of cheap, seemingly limitless cocaine on the nation’s streets, all too apparent in South Central Los Angeles...
...and allegations that Nicaraguan rebels working directly with the CIA, were smuggling cocaine into the U.S., using the profits to arm Contra militias back home.

WISH I WAS HERE
Wish I Was Here is the story of Aidan Bloom, a struggling actor, father and husband, who at 35 is still trying to find his identity; a purpose for his life. He and his wife are barely getting by financially and Aidan passes his time by fantasizing about being the great futuristic Space-Knight he’d always dreamed he’d be as a little kid. When his ailing father can no longer afford to pay for private school for his two kids (ages 5 and 12) and the only available public school is on its last legs, Aidan reluctantly agrees to attempt to home-school them. The result is some funny chaos, until Aidan decides to scrap the traditional academic curriculum and come up with his own. Through teaching them about life his way, Aidan gradually discovers some of the parts of himself he couldn’t find.

RENOIR
To be released October 24
website
In his twilight years, Pierre-Auguste Renoir is tormented by the loss of his wife, the pains of arthritic old age and the terrible news that his son Jean has been wounded in action. But when a young girl miraculously enters his world, the old painter is filled with a new, wholly unexpected energy. Blazing with life, radiantly beautiful Andrée will become his last model, and the wellspring of a remarkable rejuvenation. Back at the family home to convalesce, Jean too falls under the spell of the new, redheaded star in the Renoir firmament. In their Mediterranean Eden – and in the face of his father’s fierce opposition – he falls in love with this wild, untameable spirit… and as he does so, within weak-willed, battle-shaken Jean, a filmmaker begins to grow.

BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR
website
Acclaimed French filmmaker Abdellatif Kechiche’s latest, based on Julie Maroh’s graphic novel, was the sensation of this year’s Cannes Film Festival even before it was awarded the Palme d’Or.
Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos) is a young woman whose longings and ecstasies and losses are charted across a span of several years. Emma (Léa Seydoux) is the older woman who excites her desire and becomes the love of her life.
Kechiche’s movie is, like the films of John Cassavetes, an epic of emotional transformation that pulses with gestures, embraces, furtive exchanges, and arias of joy and devastation. It is a profoundly moving hymn to both love and life.

Le Week-End is a beautifully observed, funny and poignant story about the nature of love and commitment where husband and wife yearn to recapture their youthful fearlessness, lack of responsibility and idealism.
A married couple, Meg and Nick (Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan), revisit Paris to revitalise their marriage, and run into an old friend (Jeff Goldblum) who gives them a new vision on life and love.
Le Week-End marks the latest collaboration between Roger Michell and his long-standing partners, writer Hanif Kureishi and producer Kevin Loader – the trio also worked on Venus, The Mother and TV’s The Buddha of Suburbia.

FAREWELL, MY QUEEN
At the dawn of the French Revolution, as turmoil brews in Paris, Versailles carries on, careless and unworried as if isolated from the rest of the world.

Sidonie is unaware that she is about to live out the last three days she’ll ever have at her mistress’s side, in the Versailles of pomp, extravagance, games of leisure and luxury. Movie link.
We also published a full movie review on our La Premiere page. In Cinemas June 3.

FILM! FILM! FILM!
SCANDINAVIAN FILM FESTIVAL 2014
website
The region of Scandinavia - culturally comprised of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Denmark - has produced some of the most iconic films ever made. From the masterpieces of Ingmar Bergman, to the radical, back-to-basics guerrilla-style filmmaking of the Dogme revolution, to the contemporary and transnational diversity of Nordic cinema, Palace is proud to present local audiences with a brand new event, created to offer a dedicated focus to an area of screen culture that has for too long been under-represented in Australia.
Indeed the mission of the inaugural Scandinavian Film Festival is to ensure that more films from the region are presented where they deserve to be seen: on the big screen. Too often some extraordinary films have never seen the light of day here (or rather, the darkness of a cinema), and Palace considers it an honour and a privilege to help correct this.
So with thanks to the support of SFF sponsors and cultural partners, Palace is proud to present a celebration of Scandinavian screen culture, cuisine and music with you, our world-cinema loving audience, via a curated selection of 21 outstanding films that range from critically acclaimed debuts of risktaking new talent, through to crowd-pleasing local blockbusters.
From our Opening Night Galas to the Special Events, including the live Q&As with our special guest, the fabulous Laura Birn (one of Finland’s rising stars, who was recently profiled by the Berlin Film Festival’s annual talent platform Shooting Stars as one of Europe’s Best Young Actors), there is something for everyone.
Please join us, and celebrate the art of cinema from one of the world’s most breathtaking and talent-rich regions.
