When composer and musician Jean-Michele Jarre received a call to craft a score for a photo exhibit, he said yes. As challenging as the task would be, the brief was to create music for the sounds of the Amazon for famed photographer Sebastião Salgado.
Salgado’s latest work. “Amazonia” (currently on show at the Peter Fetterman Gallery in Santa Monica’s Bergamot Station) is an immersive experience as Jarre’s score plays to photos from the Amazon. “A bird sings, the wind rushes through the foliage, passing men sing and chat, women bathe, the storm rumbles, a plane flies by, rain falls on the stone, all these random sounds, unaware of any orchestration or arrangement, nevertheless form a global harmony: the music of the forest,” says Jarre.
While the 52-minute score can be streamed, it is best experienced as a binaural version alongside Salgado’s “Amazonia.” The photographer spent six-years traveling through the region,...

Gojira sing about taming and facing their fears on “Born for One Thing,” the heavy and heady lead single form their upcoming album, Fortitude, which will come out on April 30th.
The video for the track takes place in a natural history museum where a man takes a pill and morphs into a girl before running away from a security guard. In another chamber of the museum, the French metal crew performs the song with all of its ebbing and flowing grit and a surprising amount of unheadbangable rhythms.

One of the most accomplished, sure-handed films of the Sundance Film Festival, "The Second Mother" is straightforward, socially aware and deeply rooted, not only in Brazilian but in world society class structures. That it It is also deeply rooted within the psyches of the actors and the director is what makes it so powerfully effective upon the audience.
Writer-director Anna Muylaert wrote the first version of this movie twenty years ago when she had her first child. It was called "The Kitchen Door" and was a magical realism story of a domestic servant who was a magician in her own village who could read the future of people
Twenty years ago when she had her first child, "normal" meant you brought in a nanny to care for your child and do all the housework. Anna was working and her boss assured her she would barely be able to manage three months at home when Anna informed her that she planned to take a year off to care for her child.
Her circle of friends was also aghast at the idea of her doing everything for her child And cooking dinner for them as guests. They persuaded her to bring in help at least twice a week. When the help came and told her to go relax, and closed the door on her, she began to write this script. For a year she had stayed at home to care for her child and during that time she had written books for television which earned her enough money to buy the house next door which became her office.
For herself, the idea of having a full time caretaker was confusing. When she was seven, her family hired a nanny. Anna recalled that at her school she was told to draw a picture of her family and she didn't know whether or not to include the nanny in the picture. Her younger sister was three and was so attached to the nanny that she is now the nanny of her children.
When Anna was 20 and moved out of her home, she realized she didn't know how to keep house, to clean, to cook, to do anything on her own. How stupid the middle and upper classes were, knowing nothing about life. She realized the power of the poor who knew how to cope with their own as well as their employers' lives.
Nineteen years after having her first child she returned to this script. Brazil had changed by this time. Brazil elected a president from the Workers Party. Labor laws were enacted that practically eradicated live-in labor. Maids no longer lived at their bosses' home because labor laws required paying them overtime.
Anna sat down and rewrote the script just as it was going into production. She made the nanny's daughter Jennifer, noble and strong enough to stand up to separatist social rules, throwbacks to the colonial past. She is full of curiosity and force of will, and she demands her due, her citizen rights. She offers a character model, a role model to be discussed after watching the movie. Anna considers her a super hero.
Val is a live-in housekeeper who takes her work seriously. She wears a crisp maid's uniform while serving perfect canapés; she serves her wealthy Sao Paolo employers day in and day out while lovingly nannying their teenage son whom she raised since toddlerhood. In order to do this to earn a living, she had to leave her own child in others' hands.
Everyone and everything in the elegant house has its place until one day, Val's ambitious, clever daughter Jessica arrives from Val's hometown to take the college entrance exams. Jessica's confident, youthful presence upsets the unspoken yet strict balance of power in the household; Val must decide where her allegiances lie and what she's willing to sacrifice.
Val herself has an inner strength which reveals itself in the course of the movie. In real life, this actress, Regina Case, is very strong, very influential, famous and wealthy. With a career of more than forty years, she is known for her work on stage, film and television. She is one of the most important artistic talents in Brazil today. She will soon be seen in the upcoming Emmanuel Benbihy franchise, "Rio, I Love You."
She produces For television and has a huge television following on TV Globo's "Esquenta!" which brings popular cultural personalities to the public. As an actress, she is like an anthropological museum, says Anna. She can display the characteristics of every sort of human being, recreating their gestures and personae exactly from a lifetime of research and re-creation.
When Anna directs, she likes the actors to suggest variations to the scripted words. Shooting digitally makes this even easier, and in this regard, the actors help write the script. Regina, with her broad range of experience and her own great reservoir of talent was a great resource.
I asked Anna what were her favorite films that she had directed. After some thought she said her first film, "Durval Discos" (2002) and this one. "The Second Mother" is more mature and a result of years of struggle. It has great actors and the cinematography by Uruguayan Dp, Barbara Alvarez_ ("Whisky") has created a particular look. The songs are also special. The crew worked very well together and the producers, brothers Caio and Fabiano Gullane, Débora Ivanov and Gabriel Lacerda were great. Caio worked with her on her last film, "Chomado a cobrar," as well. Gullane produced "A Wolf at the Door" and "Amazonia 3D".
It was not at all easy making this film. The star was so big; she is very critical and very forceful. But everyone was giving their best. She herself was totally devoted to the film for nine months, from July 2013 when she rewrote it to its completion in March 2014.
Anna's next film has been shot in November and December of 2014. She will go to the Berlinale where The Match Factory will offer it in the market and then home to rest for ten days before editing it. Its title, coincidentally is "There's Only One Mother". It's about two teenagers who don't know each other...the same actress plays both their mothers.
Perhaps we will see the new film in Cannes 2015.

With the rise of the encroaching Toronto, the domestic competition offered by Rome and a hugely successful Cannes this year, the 70th Venice Film Festival - which begins on 28 August - is facing some pretty stiff competition. The lineup, however, is on the face of it relatively low-key, though there are some very interesting possibilities and potential surprises. Regular attendee George Clooney opens proceedings with Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity, whilst in the main competition lie a mix of old hands - Errol Morris with his Donald Rumsfeld documentary, Hayao Miyazaki's last fable - along with fresh talents such as Kelly Reichardt (Night Moves) and Jonathan Glazer (with his Birth follow-up, Under the Skin).
Terry Gilliam also returns after an elongated absence, his The Zero Theorem starring Christoph Waltz as a hacker searching for the meaning of existence. The film hopefully marks a return to form for a filmmaker who...

Among the titles (see list below – here’s our source) we find carry-over items from Cannes in Alain Guiraudie’s Stranger by the Lake, Rithy Panh’s The Missing Image, Guillaume Canet’s Blood Ties and Claire Denis’ Bastards (among one of our top films for 2013 – see pic above), while from Venice, we have the just-inserted Patrice Leconte title, A Promise and what will easily be among the most sought after Tiff 2013 coverage items in Catherine Breillat’s Abus de faiblesse.

Following the announcement that came earlier this week, launching yet another hugely impressive line-up at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, the respective line-up has now been announced for what is in some ways its European counterpart, the 2013 Venice Film Festival.
The announcement shows that the two will continue to have a number of films overlapping, including Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity (the Opening Night Film in Venice), Peter Landesman’s Parkland, Stephen Frears’ Philomena, and more. But it also brings with its news of where a number of films will be making their debut, including Terry Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem; the latest film from Hayao Miyazaki, The Wind Rises; James Franco’s Child of God; Lee Sang-il’s Yurusarezaru Mono, the Japanese remake of Unforgiven; and Steven Knight’s Locke, led by Tom Hardy, and shot in one take.

The Toronto Film Festival has 12 Years A Slave and Gravity, but the Venice Film Festival does not intend to be outdone. Gravity will open the festival, yes, but Terry Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem will also put in an appearance. Plus there are new films from Stephen Frears, Paul Schrader and James Franco, who brings his Child Of God to play at Venice. Hayao Miyazaki’s latest The Wind Rises will show up at Venice too, after its Japanese tour. Then there are films from Errol Morris, Kelly Reichardt, and Frederick Wiseman. Oh, and the Japanese Unforgiven remake Yurusarezaru mono.
All in all, it’s not a bad line-up for Venice this year. Lots of films that we’ve already heard of and, as usual, a whole slew that we probably haven’t. Festival season is always an exciting time, less for the major works and more for the ones...

Film Festival, it appears that 2013 will be a significant cross-over year for Venice titles (Joe, Night Moves, Parkland, Philomena, Tracks, Under the Skin) landing in the Canadian capitol and from the get-go, it appears that Toronto programmers have indeed stole some of the thunder from the Alberto Barbera’s Lido, specifically in the case where they grabbed world premiere rights to Steve McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave with the Fox Searchlight folks possibly looking to keep the film on North American soil.

Terry Gilliam, James Franco, and Errol Morris are among the filmmakers who will premiere their new movies in competition at the 70th Venice Film Festival in late August, it was announced today. Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem, which stars Christolph Waltz as a computer hacker close to cracking the code that explains humanity, is his first film since The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus in 2009. Franco directs himself in Child of God, an adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel, and The Unknown Known, Morris’ study of former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield, is the first documentary to ever compete in the main category at Venice.
