Tripping with Nils Frahm is having its world premiere on Mubi on December 3, 2020.With Nils Frahm's new concert film premiering today, the German musician, who scored Sebastian Schipper's Victoria and the multi-screen Cate Blanchett art work Manifesto, has generously shared a list of his favorite film music. Featuring scores by Miles Davis (Elevator to the Gallows), Eleni Karaindrou (Eternity in a Day), Vincent Gallo (Buffalo 66), and Air (The Virgin Suicides), the selection is eclectic and inspiring, cutting across genres, decades, and music styles. Frahm writes:"I have always respected and admired filmmakers. I believe no other type of artist generally works harder than the director. A good director is like a great musician, since films are like long songs or albums, only even more complicated.
One could add: a musician is even more like a filmmaker, so his or her compositions respect the art of storytelling, timing, and the change of atmosphere.

What’s going on with Terrence Malick’s “The Last Planet” movie about Jesus? Well, not much publicly anyhow. As usual, most of it is under the radar, but a new sign suggests it’s entering the post-production stages and perhaps inching towards completion.
Film Soundtrack Reporter says Greek composer Eleni Karaindrou has written the original score for the upcoming drama. She is known for writing the score to Theodoros Angelopoulos’ 1995 Grand Jury Prize Cannes winner “Ulysses’ Gaze” and some of her existing music was used in both “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and Malick’s own “Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey” (the longer version with Cate Blanchett narration that never came out theatrically beyond film festivals).

The plurality and panoply of 2020’s disasters has made it easy to forget there’s a new Terrence Malick movie in post-production. (Something to say about this horrifying year and its focus on Christ and Satan? I don’t know.) And it’s been a bit since word filtered on The Last Planet—not since Malick made a rare public appearance, fittingly at the Vatican, to share details. A source relayed that work’s been slow amidst Covid—that’s not a surprise; much as anything we want you to know we have sources—but signs of life persist: our friends at One Big Soul tell us musician Eleni Karaindrou has completed work on the film. [Athina 984]
Whether that’s a full score or individual pieces remains to be seen, and of course Malick is not wont to rely on one composer. Karaindrou is no stranger in any case: her track...

Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Japanese composer who will this week be honored as the Asian Filmmaker of the Year in Busan, will head the jury for the best original score prize at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards. It is the first time that the APSAs, now in their 12th edition, present a best original score prize.

Also on the jury are Indian composer and music director Sneha Khanwalkar (“Gangs of Wasseypur”) and Australian composer, conductor and musician Nigel Westlake (“Babe,” “Paper Planes”).

Close-Up is a column that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Theo Angelopoulos's Ulysses' Gaze (1995) is showing April 27 - May 27 and Landscape in the Mist (1988) is showing April 28 - May 28, 2017 in the United States.Landscape in the Mist“We Greeks are dying people. We've completed our appointed cycle. Three thousand years among broken stones and statues, and now we are dying.”—Taxi driver, Ulysses’ GazeIt seems that no essay on the films of Theodoros Angelopoulos can neglect to mention that, despite being recognized as one of cinema’s masters in Europe, he has repeatedly failed to cross over to the United States. A retrospective at the Museum of the Modern Art in 1990, a Grand Prix at Cannes Ulysses’ Gaze in 1995, a Palme d’Or for Eternity and a Day in 1998, and, most recently, a complete 35mm retrospective at the Museum of the Moving Image and Harvard Film Archive...

Theodoros AngelopoulosSo consistent was the vision of Theodoros Angelopoulos that nearly any of his films could stand as a leading representative work. When viewing all 13 of his features within a condensed period of time—an extraordinary opportunity to be offered by New York's Museum of the Moving Image July 8 - 24—one sees just how exceptional Angelopoulos’ filmography is, and how each title is an emblematic entry in the late Greek director’s catalog of persistent themes, tonal frequencies, plot points, and, perhaps most indelibly, sheer visual boldness.Landscape in the Mist (1988)IMAGESIt is in this last regard that Angelopoulos instantly and emphatically impresses. His cinema is punctuated by a remarkable succession of single images that linger long after the film has concluded, often retaining in the viewer’s consciousness more than an overall story or specific characters.

The 52nd International Antalya Film Festival this year was a case of “The Show Must Go On”. In spite of several setbacks which made Turkey quite unstable and put it on the U.S. State Department’s Alert List, it took place in the beautiful Turkish seaside site of the recent G20 Conference. It rivals Cannes for its Croisette; its boulevards exceed any street in Cannes. Organized by the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality whose Mayor Menderes Türel, recently reelected for a five year term, is supporting this festival in a major way and directed by Elif Dağdeviren, the Festival’s Closing Night was an extravaganza of special effects as it announced its winners and handed out its Golden Orange 35 times.
The Festival’s industry component, the one year old, Antalya Film Forum (Aff), was directed by filmmaker Zeynep Özbatur Atakan. Industry guests included, among others, Jim Stark and his partner Nicolas Celis whom I had just recently written about. Idfa’s Ally Derks, Tiff’s Piers Handling, International sales agent Catherine Le Clef, BaseWerx for Film’s Claudia Landsberger, and Producer Linda Beath who all attended in spite of warnings of terrorism in Turkey. I also had the good fortune to meet the Bosnian Dp Mirsad Herović who seems to be working non-stop in Turkey these days, on his film “Iftarlik Gazoz/Pop A Revolution”.
At the ceremony I sat next to Alin Tasciyan, President of Fipresci who was also responsible for the international press in attendance. Days later, we went to a fabulous restaurant in Istanbul and talked more about the state of the industry and Turkey in general. This evening was one of the highlights of the trip and deserves an article of its own.
The jury was presided over by the elegant Ömer Vargi, known as the director who revitalized the Turkish cinema and who is also the head of the Istanbul Film Studios. The jury members included the award winning screenwriter Tarik Tufan and L.A.’s own James Ulmer, the entertainment journalist who created a ranking list of actors, known as "The Ulmer Scale" and who wrote the books James Ulmer's Hollywood Hot List -- The Complete Guide to Star Ranking and Directors Hot List, which measure the global value of stars and directors in a variety of areas including bankability, career management, professionalism, promotion, risk factors and talent. We again shared an evening together in Istanbul where we stayed at the same boutique hotel recommend to us by Israel’s Dan and Edna Fainaru , who unfortunately broke her foot at the festival.
The most notable film was “Ivy” which won four awards: National Competition for Best Movie -- plus 100.000 Turkish Lira (3Tl = 1Us$) and whose director-writer Tolga Karaçelik won the National Competition for Best Screenplay and for Best Director (for which he also won 1 million travel miles by Turkish Airlines) and whose actor Nadir Sarıbacak won the Best Actor Award of the National Competition.
“Ivy” is Tolga Karaçelik’s second film and previously played at Sundance 2015, Tiff 2015 Contemporary World Cinema, Thessaloniki, Istanbul and Karlovy Vary Film Festivals in 2015. The story is about a ship sailing to Egypt to load goods bound for Angola. The crew is forbidden to go to shore when a lien is put on the ship because the ship’s owner has gone bankrupt leaving the crew with no salaries paid which puts them into a nasty mood. While in anchorage, supplies run out, the crew fractures into parts, small arguments escalate into major conflicts and the ship becomes a battlefield.
“The Cold of Kalander” also won four prizes: the Dr. Avni Tolunay Jury Special Award, National Competition for Best Music to François Couturier, International Competition Best Actor to Haydar Şişman and National Competition to Nuray Yeşilaraz for Best Actress.
Winning three prizes, “Memories of the Wind," about an intellectual of Armenian origin hiding from Turkish militia by the Georgian border during WWII who falls in love with the wife of the farmer offering shelter, received a great round of applause with its Audience Award in International Competition, International Award for Best Music by Eleonore Fourning and Best Visual Director Award going to Andreas Sinanos. International sales by Arizona Flms.
“For Love of the Neighborhood” won the Special Jury Award, Best Art Direction Award and Best Editing Award. “The Apprentice” won for Best First Movie, and the Best Supporting Actress Award went to Çiğdem Selışık.
Elif Dağdeviren on the state of the festival and its mission today says,
"Our aim was and will continue to be a respected film festival on a par with all the important film festivals around the world. We choose all the films, events, national and international guests according to this mission and vision.
During the first 50 years, the festival served a very important purpose to support the cinema of Turkey locally. This was at a time when there were no other festivals and very few theatres in Turkey.
Antayla opened many doors for other successful local festivals and then needed to renew itself by becoming a meeting point of both the local and the world cinema sector. And it needed to modernize itself according to the technological innovations taking place worldwide. The first two years have proven that this is not a dream but a possible reality."

Even with the elimination of cash prizes, Grecian austerity did not rule the 53rd annual Thessaloniki International Film Festival. The late master Theo Angelopoulos was honored with a number of tributes and screenings to mark nearly five decades of work cut short by his death in January from a speeding motorcycle. Aki Kaurismaki (“Le Havre”), Bahman Ghobadi (“Rhino Season”), Cristian Mungiu (“Beyond the Hills”), and Andreas Dresen (“Stopped on Track”) all attended with recent and older work. Thessaloniki did much to honor Greece's filmmaking tradition; highlights included a concert co-organized by the festival and the Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra of “Music and songs for the films of Theo Angelopoulos” starring the director’s regular composer, Eleni Karaindrou, as well as a tribute screening of Angelopoulos' four-hour, politically charged “The Travelling Players” -- a...

Two days after we tragically, absurdly lost Theo Angelopoulos to a motorcycle accident late last month, Ecm Records posted a remembrance I've come across just today, thanks to a pointer from Robert Koehler. In a text Angelopoulos contributed to the collection Horizons Touched: The Music of Ecm, he wrote, "There are moments when you hear a piece of music, have a chance conversation with someone or read a text and you get the unexpected feeling of communication at a deeper level, of a common language. In Eleni Karaindrou, I found a musical language which seemed to come into being at the same time as the images in my films. Sounds that were mine before they were born. This is why the way we collaborate has — or at least I think it has — its special characteristics."
Ecm founder Manfred Eicher said in a 1990 interview, "Angelopoulos looks at things in silence. His sense of time,...

Ulysses Gaze Review Pt.2: Harvey Keitel, Erland Josephson, Maia Morgenstern Ulysses' Gaze ends with his soliloquy of grief. The character's despair, even though he is now in sole possession of the reels, suggests that his real interest was never the old film footage. How it ties in to his own quest for past memories is uncertain. In fact, there is an air of self-delusion and disingenuity in his grief. As a performer, Harvey Keitel seems to be dreamily floating throughout much of the film. This approach mostly works, save for a few much too florid speeches. Erland Josephson seems a bit hyperactive as the historian, while Maia Morgenstern gives perhaps the film's finest performance — or rather, performances — even if some of the roles seem a bit too far out. Ulysses' Gaze also offers a magnificently effective score by Eleni Karaindrou, especially with great viola passages by Kim Kashkashian, which...

For a hotshot photojournalist, James Nachtwey comes across as a remarkably serene, quite shy individual whose soft-spoken demeanor stands in distinct contrast to the stark, visceral power of his extraordinary images.
Like its Massachusetts-raised subject, Christian Frei's Academy Award-nominated documentary is at its most effective when it focuses on those acclaimed photographs and the process involved to get them.
Closely following Nachtwey over a period of two years, during which time his work took him from war-torn Kosovo to war-torn Ramallah, Frei provides a keenly observed, amply illustrated portrait of the man and his not exactly comfy chosen profession.
Taking to heart noted war photographer Robert Capa's motto, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough," Frei outfitted Nachtwey's camera with a microcam, effectively enabling the viewer to take Nachtwey's point of view as he must make split-second decisions, finding the one lasting shot in the middle of a burning blaze or a hail of bullets.
Although the majority of his 25-year career behind the lens has been about documenting war, Nachtwey proves equally adept at turning in photographic essays not specifically involving armed conflict. In one highly tangible instance, he navigates the intense heat and blinding yellow dust of an Indonesian sulfur mine, with his stinging eyes barely able to get a lock on the viewfinder.
Determined to figure out what drives this conflicted man -- for whom the irony of profiting from someone else's tragedy is a constant personal struggle -- Frei turns to several of his professional colleagues, including CNN's Christiane Amanpour, insightful Stern magazine foreign editor Hans-Hermann Klare, magazine editor and former girlfriend Christiane Breustedt and screenwriter and longtime friend Denis O'Neill, for possible clues.
But while hearing Klare postulate that Nachtwey "needs that flow of adrenaline and that fear of dying in order to stay alive" might shed some light, at a noticeable 96 minutes, "War Photographer" should have trusted his soul-stirring pictures to do the majority of the talking.

Like its Massachusetts-raised subject, Christian Frei's Academy Award-nominated documentary is at its most effective when it focuses on those acclaimed photographs and the process involved to get them.
Closely following Nachtwey over a period of two years, during which time his work took him from war-torn Kosovo to war-torn Ramallah, Frei provides a keenly observed, amply illustrated portrait of the man and his not exactly comfy chosen profession.
Taking to heart noted war photographer Robert Capa's motto, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough," Frei outfitted Nachtwey's camera with a microcam, effectively enabling the viewer to take Nachtwey's point of view as he must make split-second decisions, finding the one lasting shot in the middle of a burning blaze or a hail of bullets.
