NEWS FROM PLANET MARS A FILM By DOMINIk MOLL

By the director of Harry, He’s Here to Help

With François Damiens (La Famille Bélier – César Nomination for Best Actor, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies), vincent macaigne (Eden, Tristesse Club, Nominated for the César for Best Upcoming Actor in La Fille du 14 juillet), veerle baetens (The Broken Circle Breakdown – Winner of the César for Best Foreign Language Film & Oscar Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film 2013) and léa Drucker (The Blue Room)

Philippe Mars is a reasonable man in an unreasonable world.He’s trying to be a good father, a kind ex-husband, a nice colleague, an understanding sibling... But the planets have not been exactly aligned in his favor lately. With his son turning into a hardcore vegan, his daughter into a pathological overachiever and his sister selling oversized paintings of their naked parents, it seems to our ever-so prudent Philippe that everyone around him is starting to behave more and more erratically...When his more than over the top colleague Jerôme accidentally chops off his ear and then moves into Philippe’s apartment, things start to go from bad to insane for our hero.

After the party in karsten’s apartment, everybody leaves except Anna. Admiringly, karsten approaches this mysterious woman. How could he have known, that in a moment of weak-ness, his well-established life would spiral out of control and turn into a disaster? In this small provincial German town, disappointment soon fuels anger, justice hides behind hypocrisy, and evil gradually unfolds.

GIRL ASLEEP A FILM By ROSEMARy MyERS

With bethany whitmore, Harrison Feldman and matthew whittet (The Great Gatsby, Sleeping Beauty, Moulin Rouge)

On the cusp of turning 15, Greta Driscoll is having a hard time fitting in her new town. Between the blonde brats clique, her too-cool-for-school big sister and her outspoken parents, the only person she seems to be able to talk to is Elliott, her weird yet endearing classmate.

When her mom decides to throw her a surprise birthday party and invite literally everyone, her biggest teenage fears take over and Greta is flung into a parallel world; a place that’s weirdly erotic, a little bit violent and thoroughly ludicrous – only there can she find herself.

A journey into the absurd, scary and beautiful heart of the teenage mind.

“Girl Asleep is the stylish, formally exuberant debut of theatre director Rosemary Myers. A funny and imaginative portrait of growing pains.” tHe HollYwooD reporter

“A fantastical fable of growing up.” tHe gUArDiAn

“With the endless production of superhero films and film remakes these days, it is refreshing to see a film with such raw acting and originality from start to finish.

It’s hard not to fall in love with the characters in Girl Asleep, and be left with the warmth of the film long after the credits have stop rolling.” tHe UpSiDe newS

Pierre, a 75 year old widower, has lived as a pretty solitary life since his wife’s passing. His daughter gets him a computer, hoping it will stimulate his curiosity and maybe — who knows? — meet new people. With the help of Alex, a young computer teacher, Pierre begins browsing and surfing, and soon stumbles upon an online dating website.Under Alex’s identity, Pierre meets Flora63, a young physiotherapist and rapidly falls under her spell. She in turn is charmed by this elegant yet rather unusual profile and asks him on a date. A real one, face to face.Feeling trapped and excited by this adventure, Pierre accepts and has no other choice but to convince Alex to go in his place.

With catherine Deneuve, catherine Frot and olivier gourmet (Two Days, One Night, The Kid with the Bike)

Claire is a wonderfully gifted midwife, with a natural talent to deliver babies with the most gentle touch. But over the years, her delicate ways, her sense of pride and responsibility are clashing with the more efficiency-driven methods of modern hospitals. Closer to the end of her career than to its beginning, she’s starting to question her place and her skills.One day she receives a strange phone call, a voice from the past. Béatrice, the extravagant and frivolous ex-wife of her deceased father, has important and pressing news and wants to see her again, 30 years after having disappeared without a trace.Opposed in every way, the over-conscientious Claire – bordering inhibition – and the free-spirit, life-loving Béatrice, will learn to accept one another and by revealing old secrets will start to make up for the lost years.

Summer 1910.Several tourists have vanished while relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the Channel Coast. Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather that the epicenter of these mysterious disap-pearances must be Slack Bay, a unique site where the Slack river and the sea join only at high tide.

There lives a small community of fishermen and other oyster farmers. Among them evolves a curious family, the Bréfort, renowned ferrymen of the Slack Bay, lead by the father nick-named

“The Eternal”, who rules as best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, especially the impetu-ous Ma Loute, aged 18.

Towering high above the bay stands the van Peteghems’ mansion. Every summer, this bourgeois family – all degenerate and decadent from inbreeding – stagnates in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure hours of walking, sailing or bathing, with the ordinary local people, Ma Loute and the other Bréforts.

Over the course of five days, as starts a peculiar love story between Ma Loute and the young and mischievous Billie van Peteghem, confusion and mystification will descend on both families, shaking their convictions, foundations and way of life.

With jana raluy, Sebastián Aguirre (Güeros), emilio echevarría (Amores Perros, y tu mamá también)

In a desperate attempt to save her husband’s life by accessing the medical treatment that he needs to survive, Sonia embarks on a chase against her corrupt and negligent insurance company and its complicit representatives – leading her son and herself into a vertiginous spiral of violence.A wounded animal doesn’t cry, it bites.

“Rodrigo Plá is back with the most commercially viable film, a tense, sometimes bleakly comic drama of exasperation that once again dips into genre conventions to

explore the ‘us against them’ social fault lines of contemporary Mexico...” Screen

“A lean, mean thriller. At a nervily compact 74 minutes, ‘A Monster With a Thousand Head’ often feels as if it’s unfolding in real time. Such is the considerable achievement of Uruguayan – Mexican helmer Rodrigo Plá’s agitated, on-the-move hostage thriller.”

vArietY

“A lean and efficient mix of thriller, drama and socio-political commentary... Shot through with dark irony and containing several genre elements.” tHe HollYwooD reporter

NEON BULL A FILM By GABRIEL MASCARO

By the director of August winds (Locarno 2014 – Special Mention)

With juliano cazarré (360, Tropa de Elite), maeve jinkings (Neighboring Sounds), carlos pessoa

Iremar works at the vaquejadas, a rodeo in the north east of Brazil where two men on horseback try to bring down a bull by grabbing its tail. It’s dusty and back-breaking work, but Iremar is a natural ‘vaqueiro’, feeding, prepping and taking care of the bulls.

Home is the truck used to transport the animals from show to show, which he shares with his co-workers; Galega, an exotic dancer, the truck driver and mother to the young & spirited Cacá, and Zé, his rotund compadre in the bullpen. Together they form a makeshift but close-knit family.

But Brazil and the Northeast are changing and the region’s booming clothing industry has stirred new ambitions in Iremar. Swinging in his hammock in the back of the truck, his head is filled with dreams of pattern cutting, sequins and exquisite fabrics as he mentally assembles elaborate new fashion designs…

“Neon Bull is the great discovery of this year’s TIFF… A unique gem.” inDiewire

“When I watched it I had the same feeling that I had the first time I saw a David Lynch film.” tiFF ArtiStic Director cAmeron bAileY

“Mascaro and Mexican d.p. Diego Garcia (who lensed Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s ‘Cemetery of Splendor’) demonstrate a masterful eye for composition.” vArietY

“An unexpected delight, at times as carnal, sweaty and instinctive as its main characters but also playfully original and thought-provoking…

A dreamlike mise en scene.” Screen
