A portrait documentary tracing the inspiration, philosophy and imagination of the celebrated theatre and screen writer - and Bunuel's long term collaborator - Jean Claude Carrière. Carrière predicts that between the house he was born in and the cemetery in which he will end there is a life journey of just 250 meters. "Carrière: 250 Meters" follows him as he reflects on the wealth of global traditions of storytelling, travelling through past and present, across countries and cultures from Paris to New York, Mexico and India and joined by his family, friends and collaborators. A testament to the life and work of an extraordinary man and a key architect in contemporary cinema.

The Midnight Sun Film Festival is held every June in the Finnish village of Sodankylä beyond the arctic circle — where the sun never sets. Founded by Aki and Mika Kaurismäki along with Anssi Mänttäri and Peter von Bagh in 1985, the festival has played host to an international who’s who of directors and each day begins with a two-hour discussion. To mark the festival’s silver anniversary, festival director Peter von Bagh edited together highlights from these dialogues to create an epic four-part choral history of cinema drawn from the anecdotes, insights, and wisdom of his all-star cast: Coppola, Fuller, Forman, Chabrol, Corman, Demy, Kieslowski, Kiarostami, Varda, Oliveira, Erice, Rouch, Gilliam, Jancso — and 64 more. Ranging across innumerable topics (war, censorship, movie stars, formative influences, America, neorealism) these voices, many now passed away, engage in a personal dialogue across the years that’s by turns charming, profound, hilarious and moving.

Nos primeiros anos do século XIX, em meio ao radicalismo da Inquisição e à iminente invasão da Espanha pelas tropas de Napoleão Bonaparte (Craig Stevenson), o gênio artístico do pintor espanhol Francisco Goya (Stellan Skarsgård) é reconhecido na corte do Rei Carlos IV (Randy Quaid). Inés (Natalie Portman), a jovem modelo e musa do pintor, é presa sob a falsa acusação de heresia. Nem as intervenções do influente Frei Lorenzo (Javier Bardem), também retratado por Goya, conseguem evitar que ela seja brutalmente torturada nos porões da Igreja. Estes personagens e os horrores da guerra, com os seus fantasmas, alimentam a pintura de Goya, testemunha atormentada de uma época turbulenta.

O filme conta a história do mestre em manipular sua platéia, Andy Kaufman que conseguia provocar gargalhadas, silêncios profundos, lágrimas e até gritos. Ao convidar o público para ir tomar leite com biscoitos ou desafiar mulheres para lutas mistas, ele se especializou em criar atuações tão reais que até seus amigos mais íntimos nunca estavam certo de onde estava a verdade. Embora tido, entre outras descrições, como duende niilista, guerrilheiro Zen, comediante dadaísta e o primeiro artista de verdade, Kaufman sempre preferiu pensar que era simplesmente um homem da música e da dança.

The first part of the block will be dedicated to the monograph Vojtěch Jasný: The Film Poet in Exile (2020) authored by the film historian Jiří Voráč. The monograph is centered on the legendary director’s life and career after his emigration to Western Europe and to the US after 1968, which have so far received little attention. In exile, Jasný established himself as a film director (he authored over thirty cinema and TV films and documentaries), stage director, photographer, and film studies lecturer. The first part will be followed by the screening of Jasný’s documentary Why Havel? co-produced by himself and Miloš Forman in Canada and Czechoslovakia in 1991. As remarkable as this reflection of the paradoxical transformation of a dissident into a president in the carnival-like atmosphere of the euphoric post-revolution period with the first question marks already appearing may be, it did not meet the expectations of the head of state.
