ALEXANDRE ROCKWELL
|
|
The
early 1990's new wave of American cinema set in motion the
highly successful careers of Quentin Tarantino, Rick
Linklater and Robert Rodriguez among others. Yet it
was Alexandre Rockwell's offbeat comic take on moviemaking,
'In the Soup', that won the coveted Grand Jury Prize
at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival. The Tirana Film
Festival will screen a print of this unjustly forgotten gem on
its closing night.
The
5th edition of TIIF is very pleased to welcome in-person
director Alexandre Rockwell as well as 'In the Soup's
original cinematographer, Phil Parmet (he recently shot
Tarantino's segment of 'Grindhouse').
The
black and white 'In the Soup' features singular performances
from Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs), Jennifer Beals (Flashdance),
Cassavetes favorite actor Seymour Cassel and director
Jim Jarmusch. Apart from screening this lost treasure,
TIFF will also show a print of Rockwell's 1994 'In the Soup'
follow-up, 'Someone to Love' with Harvey Keitel
and Anthony Quinn
|
|
GIANNI AMELIO
|
In the early 1990's,
Italian director Gianni Amelio had already been
hailed by international critics and audiences as
a singular voice tackling relevant social
dramas in the neo-realist tradition of the
1940's. Amelio travelled to Albania in 1994 to
direct 'L'America', the story of a corrupt
Italian businessman who discovers personal
salvation in the immediate years after the fall
of communism.
Upon it's release, the film further cemented
Amelio's reputation garnering over a dozen
awards including four prizes at the Venice Film
Fesival and the coveted
Felix Award for Best European Film.
But in Albania 'L'America' caused considerable
controversy and was denounced by many as a gross
exaggeration of conditions in the country. After
the film received wide distribution around the
world, many Albanians came to regard L'America
as furthering the kind of negative stereotype
that 'Midnight Express' gave Turkey.
Gianni Amelio will return to Albania to appear
at this years Tirana International Film Festival
for a special screening of 'L'America'.
Afterwards, critics and audiences will be
invited to discuss with the director the films
lasting impact and its place in Albania's recent
history.
The TIFF is also honored to screen two of Gianni
Amelio's most acclaimed films, his 1990 'Porte
Aparte' (Open Doors) and the 2004 'Chiavi di
Casa' (Keys to the House
|
|
MIGUEL HERMOSO
|
In cooperation with the
Embassy of Spain in Tirana at TIFF07 will be present the
well known Spanish director Miguel Hermoso. With his film
“La Luz Prodigiosa
(Marvellous Light)”
examines what might have happened if famed Spanish writer
Frederico Garcia Lorca had not been executed at the
beginning of the Spanish Civil War.

|
DUSAN MAKAVEJEV
|
The 5th edition of the Tirana
International Film Festival is very pleased to honor master
filmmaker Dusan Makavejev. The director will appear in-person to
introduce prints of his highly controversial 'WR: Mysteries
of the Organism' (1971) as well as the 1981 cult classic
'Montenegro'.
'WR', a dazzling half-documentary mediation on Stalin and sexual
liberation was banned everywhere from the director's native
Yugoslavia to the Venice Film Festival. Yet in the three
decades since its first release, 'WR: Mysteries of the Organism'
has come to be regarded as a masterpiece appearing on no less
than a dozen top ten lists as one of the greatest films of all
time.
The rarely-screened 'Montenegro' tells the story of a bored
housewife whose life is forever changed by a group of Yugoslav
immigrants. Over the years, 'Montenegro' has grown in reputation
as one of the finest moments in Makavejev's forty-year career
and features an astonishing performance by the American actress
Susan Anspach.
This is Dusan Makavejev's first visit to Albania.The staff and
programmers of the fest hope audiences will discover the
brilliantly original work of this living master of.

ANGELIKI ANTONIOU
|
|
The Greek director
Angeliki Antoniou is going to be
present for the Albanian audience with her many award winning
film “Eduart”. Based upon true events Eduart, a young man
raised in a cruel and oppressive family environment, leaves
Albania with the dream of becoming a rock star and living a
better life. His reckless character and the passions of his
youth lead him to commit a murder in Athens. Chased by everyone,
even by his own self, he is imprisoned under the harshest
conditions. Eduart, with the help of a German doctor, learns to
feel sympathy for others and guilt for his crime. His deep
remorse will lead him from darkness to light. Like the
Dostoevskian hero Raskolnikov, Eduart passes from crime to
punishment, by daring to admit his guilt. In international
criminal history, the "Eduart case" occurs once in a hundred
years.

MARY JORDAN
|
|
The American
award winning director in Tribeca Film Festival 2007 for
her documentary ” Jack Smiths” and the destruction of
Atlantis” Mary Jordan will be present for the Albanian
Audience during the days of the festival in Tirana. Highly
intelligent and well researched, this film by Mary Jordan is
the definitive film on Jack Smith. The editing of Jack's art and
the art of the film is so well integrated that you not only see
the many mediums of Smith but you get a psychological
examination of one of the most unknown influences of the 20th
century. The 93 minute movie rarely slows down as we see a young
mind overflowing with angst and creativity, followed by his
influencing of Warhol and later greats like Perry
Ferrell and Richard James. Ithe critics found this
in the same special club of great movies like "Crumb" and
"Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse." A
definite must-see for those unaware of Jack Smith's world or
well versed in his art.
Since she is from the Albanian origin from both
her parents her wish is to introduce her film for the Albanian
public.

in Steve Buschemi ” Animal Factory”,” Four
Rooms”, and many more.
This is Phill Parnet first visit to Albania and will introduce
for the audience one of his best works of his carrier such as ”
Animal factory”.
This is an good opportunity for the Albanian
filmmaker to have among them one of the most well respected d.p.
