First film in 20 years from Alejandro Jodorowsky, as Clio Barnard and Paul Wright fly flag for Britain
The line-up of this year's Cannes film festival is now complete after the announcement of the Directors' Fortnight and Critics' Week selections.
The Director's Fortnight has added 20 titles to its already-announced opener, The Congress, from Ari "Waltz With Bashir" Folman, a part-animated adaptation of Stanislaw "Solaris" Lem's sci-fi novel The Futurological Congress.
Highlights include La Danza de la Realidad, the first film for more than two decades from cult Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky (best known for El Topo), and a complementary documentary, Jodorowsky's Dune, about the director's disastrous attempt to film Frank Herbert's giant novel. Two more Chilean directors, Sebastian Silva, with his Sundance hit Magic Magic, starring Michael Cera, and Marcela Said with The Summer of the Flying Fish, have had films selected alongside.

Heavy on the French film items and with a side dish of Chilean influence, this year’s Directors’ Fortnight also known as the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs is offering “double” Alejandro Jodorowosky, and the highly anticipated titles we predicted from the likes of Clio Barnard (The Selfish Giant) and Serge Bozon (Tip Top). Repping Chile, we have Sebastián Silva’s Magic Magic (review) which is joined by another Sundance preemed title in Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are (fittingly this is the remake of Somos lo que hay (which was featured in the section in 2010). Upping the sci-fi quotient by joining the already announced The Congress, we find Ruairi Robinson highly anticipated feature debut with Last Days On Mars. Anurag Kashyap makes it two for two years, after unloading the almost six hour Gangs of Wasseypur, he returns with Ugly, while Tehilim (Main Comp in 2007) helmer Raphaël Nadjari returns...

A tale of "action, gore and laughs" whose budget was raised from donations, figures among the more unusual offerings in the Cannes Director's Fortnight whose full programme was launched today (23 April).
Jeremy Saulnier’s Blue Ruin will give the Brooklyn-based director his first taste of the madness of Cannes. Saulnier raised $37,828 last August with a short video pitch through Kickstarter, the world's largest funding platform for creative projects.
The other features competing for the Camera d’Or prize include Raphaël Nadjari’s Above The Hill a return to Cannes for the Israeli-French filmmaker after a 14-year gap.
After The Night by Basil Da Cunha is the first feature from the Swiss director who of whose previous short films were featured in the Director’s Fortnight.
A Voyager, the first film in 18 years from Oscar-winning documentarian Marcel Ophuls, 85, who turns the focus on himself and his personal history, promises to be.

I'm writing this the day after first posting this entry. I now regret it. The point I make about artists is perfectly valid but I realize I wasn't prepared with enough facts about the events leading up to the Festival's decision to showcase Tel Aviv in the City-to-City section. I thought of it as an innocent goodwill gesture, but now realize it was part of a deliberate plan to "re-brand" Israel in Toronto, as a pilot for a larger such program. The Festival should never have agreed to be used like this. It was naive for the plan's supporters to believe it would have the effect they hoped for. The original entry remains below. The first 50 or so comments were posted before these regrets.
¶ The tumult continues here about the decision to spotlight Tel Aviv in the City-to-City sidebar program of the Toronto Film Festival. The protesters say the festival...

Raphaël Nadjari’s A History of Israeli Cinema / Historia Shel Hakolnoah Israeli, Pts. 1 & 2, played at the Berlin Film Forum, then screened at this year’s San Francisco Jewish Film Festival (Sfjff), where Janis Plotkin wrote in her program capsule: “Israel as a nation is far younger than motion pictures; in fact, its modern identity has been formed in parallel with the medium of film. Israeli films, when seen unfolding over time as they do in this engrossing retrospective documentary, reveal a cinematic national identity that encapsulates the emotional reality of a country often torn by ethnic, religious and political conflicts.”
A methodical albeit sprawling three and a half-hour inventory, I was at first put off by this documentary’s somewhat nationalistic intensity, though—upon a second viewing—I could more easily digest its voluminous information, and came to appreciate—as Plotin has contextualized—how the history of Israel and the history of cinema have,...

There are 56 definitions offered for the word “cover” in the Random House Unabridged Dictionary (2nd edition, 1993), with the 13th definition applied to journalism (where a journalist is assigned to “cover” a story) and the 51st definition applied to music (where a musician is said to “cover” another’s song). Immediately following the musical definition, is one for mathematics wherein a “cover” refers to “a collection of sets having the property that a given set is contained in the union of the sets in the collection.” That 52nd definition—along with its journalistic and musical variants—could equally apply to John Greyson’s experimental short Covered, which is at once intricately journalistic, musical and mathematic.
Originally slated in Tiff’s Short Cuts Canada program and billed as “an inspired experimental documentary on the violent closing of the first Queer Sarajevo Festival”, Greyson has pulled Covered from the official selection at Tiff...
