Deep red flowers bloom in an arid field
near the town of Kirkuk in Iraq. They
seem to be the keepers of a secret, a love
story as universal and timeless as it is
intimately bound to a place and to a
time. The bond between Najla and
Sherko is a profound story of impossible
love. Impossible, because it is set during
a moment in the history of the Kurdish
people at the height of the genocide
perpetrated against them by the regime
of Saddam Hussein. Based on true lives
and events, some of the darker moments
of recent history must be evoked. Yet,
this is a story of the courage and the
power of love. The power that can
transform, at least for a time, hatred into
compassion, cruelty into self-sacrifice,
betrayal into an act of loyalty. And,
against the tragic course of history, the
courage that can unite a man and a
woman forever.

Biography (1 X 52'/ 72')
Language: English
Origin: IRELAND
In the early ‘90s, writer John Healy was
everywhere – on TV, in the papers, being
interviewed, reviewed, profiled. He had
many qualities that made him appealing
to the media, but the most attractive one
was a sense of danger. As well as being
an award-winning author and the subject
of an award-winning feature film, John
Healy had a history of violence. First he
was a street wino, battling for survival in
a world of psychopaths, then a
tournament chess player, turning his
extraordinary talent into a means of
escape from the gutter, and then he wrote
his life story, The Grass Arena. But
success didn’t last. After a dispute with
his publishers made the front pages in
1991, his work was taken out of print
suddenly and remained unavailable for
many years. Now, after 16 years, he’s
making a comeback, launched once more
on the world stage, with the likes of
Irvine Welsh and Daniel Day-Lewis as
his cheerleaders. His book, The Grass
Arena, out of print since 1991, is selling
well, with a new foreword by DayLewis. Barbaric Genius chronicles one
man’s journey from violent oblivion,
through redemption and acceptance, then
back to where he started out. It tells a
story about what it’s like to be LondonIrish, freakishly talented but cursed with
an inability to escape your
circumstances.

REDUX is the outcome of that effort.
When it first hit the film and festival
circuit BUGIS STREET was a
groundbreaking film for the director and
for Asia. Shot on location in Singapore,
the actual spot (then called Bugis
Junction/Bugis Street) was long known
to locals as the center of the real
nightlife there. It was where one could
find local transvestites, prostitutes, and
transsexuals mixing it up with both
Singapore’s high society and
underground gay culture together with
US sailors and soldiers on military leave.
The film features actress Hiep Thi Le in
her first role right after her film debut in
Oliver Stone’s HEAVEN AND EARTH.
The film also featured and co-starred
many of the real locals from Bugis
Street. The film marked Yonfan’s first

served as screen writer and later went on
to become a renowned director in his
own right.

Independent.” And he taught the next
generation of film greats, including
Scorsese, Demme, Coppola, Cameron,
even Ron Howard. From Corman’s first

when it seems that the worst is over, a
terrible rumble can be heard in the

characters. Is it possible for something
beautiful to happen in this landscape of
war and death? Intertwining naturalism
with magic poetry, SILENT SONATA

An art film from a true artist. Yonfan
trains his celebrated eye on five

BREAKING THE WILLOW
(110')
Language: Mandarin
Director: Yonfan
Producer: Yonfan
Key Cast: ZHANG Jiqing, WANG Fang,
ZHAO Wenlin
Origin: Hong Kong
In this film, his only documentary,
Yonfan explores the world of kunqu -considered by many to be the most
exquisite form of Chinese opera with its
refined blending of drama, dance, poetry,
and music in this intricate and intimate
look at the stage production,
BREAKING THE WILLOWS. The story
centers on a phoenix coronet, a crown
worn by aristocratic ladies in ancient
China, connecting two Chinese women
belonging to different eras and different
classes. With a visual richness and
cinematic grace rarely seen in a
documentary, Yonfan captures the magic
C A N N E S M AY 2 0 1 2
of the taichi-style movements and
resplendent costumes as brought to life
by kunqu stars Zhang Jiqing, Wang
Fang, and Zhao Wenlin, performers
whose mastery of the art has elevated

treasures.
PEONY PAVILION
Drama (123')
Language: Mandarin
Director: Yonfan
Writer: Yonfan
Executive Producer: Chen Kun-Hou
Producer: Yonfan
Key Cast: Rie MIYAZAWA, Joey
WANG, Daniel WU
Origin: Hong Kong
PEONY PAVILION could only be a
Yonfan picture, and arguably 2001's
boldest production, incorporating
passages of traditional Kunqu opera into
a lush romantic story featuring superstars
from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan.
Yonfan’s movies have a thematic
consistency in their depiction of
idealized love that is fleetingly found
and then irrevocably lost. PEONY
PAVILION is no exception, taking place
in 1930s Suzhou and centering on the
intense relationships between the fifth
wife of an opium-addicted aristocrat (Rie
Miyazawa), her husband's female cousin
(Joey Wang), and a handsome instructor
(Daniel Wu) who himself learns a few
things in the process.
BISHONEN
Drama, Queer Interest (101')

Director: Yonfan
Writer: Yonfan
Executive Producer: Sylvia Chang
Key Cast: Daniel WU, Stephen FUNG,
SHU Qi, Terence YIN, Jason TSANG,
Kenneth TSANG, CHIAO Chiao,
CHEUNG Tat Ming
Origin: Hong Kong
BISHONEN is perhaps the most talkedabout Yonfan movie, having been invited
to over 40 international film festivals
including Berlin, Toronto, London,
Tokyo and named "Best Picture" in
Milan. Yet when it was initially released
in Hong Kong, BISHONEN was also the
most censured. Produced by Sylvia
Chang and narrated by Brigitte Lin,
BISHONEN is the emotional travails of
a handsome gigolo (Stephen Fung) and a
hunky cop (played by Daniel Wu in his
debut role), who is trying to come to
terms with his sexuality. Extravagantly
breathtaking and lavishly romantic, the
film is considered to be one of Hong
Kong’s most homo-erotic cinematic
statements.
DOUBLE FIXATION
Drama (96')
Language: Cantonese
Director: Yonfan
Writer: Yonfan / Xiao Mei
Producer: Lin Tsui
Key Cast: Cherie CHUNG, Jacky
CHEUNG, Pauline WONG
Origin: Hong Kong
Hitchcock meets High Camp in Yonfan's
black comedy, DOUBLE FIXATION. It
is a mixture of mystery, murder, and
mirth that is as much BRAZIL as
VERTIGO. Asian audiences a quartercentury ago might not have been so "in"
on the humor of a film so ahead of its
time that DOUBLE FIXATION hasn't
aged a bit in the intervening years. In
one of his first major screen roles, music
megastar Jacky Cheung plays a
photographer madly in love with Cherie
Chung -- she's so breathtakingly
gorgeous but she's far more complex
than he realizes, disappearing and
reappearing in San Francisco. An added
attraction is that the scene was shot on
the actual San Francisco street where
Kim Novak tormented James Stewart in
VERTIGO. It all adds up to a unique
'80s blend of Hong Kong and
Hollywood, a stylistically Yonfan double
fixation.

woman, Rose, living an idyllic life with
her brother in Hong Kong. They are

subtle hint of incest. The bond is broken
when her brother dies, until one day
Rose meets a young guy named GaMing who looks like her deceased
brother.
A CERTAIN ROMANCE
Drama (92')
Language: Cantonese
Director: Yonfan
Writer: Yonfan / Chung-Ping-Yip
Producer: Yonfan
Key Cast: Anthony TANG, NG Mei-Chi
Origin: Hong Kong
In the vein of Jacques Demy’s romantic
films and the visual beauty of works by
Sarah Moon and David Hamilton, A
CERTAIN ROMANCE marks the
directorial debut of Yonfan. The story
follows the emerging sexuality of the
leading actress through encounters with
first love, secret love, one way love,
Electra Complex and same sex love. All
these themes were either hinted at or
overtly represented. Using soft focus and
grainy film stock, Yonfan creates a visual
world never before seen in Hong Kong
cinema. Working with a crew and cast of
then unknowns, A CERTAIN
ROMANCE marks the film debut of
many of its actors as well as its
cinematographer, art director and film
composer. Many of whom have become
major forces in Hong Kong cinema.

Key Cast: Dalai Lama, Lhasang Tsering,
Samdhong Rinpoche
Origin: USA
Unfortunately, the 14th Dalai Lama and
the Tibetan people receive little political
support in their drive to put an end to the
Chinese brutal regime, as international
governments are seemingly motivated by
economic interests in China. The lack of
progress toward a free, or even a truly
autonomous Tibet, urges more and more
young Tibetans to consider alternatives
to the Dalai Lama's Middle Way Policy,
a compromise on Tibet's Independence.
The controversial discussion about the
right strategy for achieving a free Tibet non-violent or violent, autonomy or
complete independence - is becoming
more emotionally charged day by day.
Monks have been leading Tibet and
Tibetans for generations, not only in
religious, but also in worldly matters.
But monks have vows that bind them.
And often those vows conflict with the
needs of politics. The Tibetan movement
today is divided and weakened by an
ongoing argument whether the Dalai
Lama"s Middle Way Policy is the right
strategy or not...

Reggaeton-La Clave is a fascinating

musical documentary film about the

genres known today as Salsa and
Reggaeton. We were fortunate enough to
have gathered the hottest stars of
reggaeton as well as the old school
greats of salsa. We have interviewed
salsa icons such as Ruben Blades,
Johnny Pacheco, Willie Colon, Ismael
Miranda, Gilberto SantaRosa and on the
reggaeton side we interviewed billboard
chart - topping artists such as Julio
Voltio, Tego Calderón, Hector "El
Father" just to name a few.These artists
all came together with the same purpose
to discuss how two different styles of
music can have so much in common and
how their music is all composed under
"La Clave," the five-note two-bar rhythm
pattern which generates rhythmic
measurement and is the foundation and
backbone of Salsa (and all Afro-Cuban
based music). They also take you on an
extraordinary journey back in time to the
roots that influenced all of these different
types of music, which is AFRICA and its
rhythm of "drums and percussion."

BASTIAN, Adele SILVA
Origin: UK
At the Silvadollaz strip club, a stripper
named Justice performs a private lap
dance for Mickey, a man who violates
the no-touching policy ... by sprouting
fangs and claws and trying to eat her!
Justice panics and takes the only option
open to her: she drives a silver fountain
pen through Mickey’s eye, into his brain,
killing him instantly. Oops… Jeanette,
the club’s owner, believes murdering
customers is bad for business, so she
orders the club’s bouncer to quietly
dispose of the body. There the matter
should end ... if Mickey hadn’t been a
member of a bloodthirsty and vengeful
pack of werewolves. When Mickey’s
corpse surfaces, Jack Ferris, the
werewolves’ charming and vicious
leader, swears bloody vengeance and
sends his pack out to hunt down the
killers. Little does he know, Justice is
actually the fiancée of his second in
command, Scott. To make matters worse,
Justice bites Scott during sex and now
may be infected with the curse of
lycanthropy herself. Add to the mix
werewolf Barker, the masturbating manchild; Sinclair, the occultist with low
self-esteem; a bevy of the most beautiful
women this side of heaven and you have
the perfect recipe for balls to the wall,
skimpily clad, strippers on werewolves
action-packed goodness. Strippers v
Werewolves - stripping has never been
this hairy!

wander through brightly-lit Christmas
markets, much to the delight of the
children. But indigenous animal life pays
no heed to this human idyll. For them,
winter is a time of austerity. Squirrels,
boars and lynx all have their own
strategy for surviving the winter. But
despite an amazing ability to adapt, the
fight for survival is hard - and can often
only be won with the help of human
beings. The film takes us on a journey
through wintry Germany - underscored
by a childlike enthusiasm for the cold
season. Snow-covered fairy-tale
landscapes and touching tales about
animals create a special heart-warming
winter atmosphere that not even adults
can escape: Contemplative, amusing and
fascinating all at the same time, the film
lyrically illustrates the charm of an
enchanting Christmas Winter
Wonderland.

Lawrence Robert De Niro Jacki Weaver
Julia Stiles Anupam Kher and Chris
Tucker
Origin: USA
Adapted from the best-selling novel by
Matthew Quick, THE SILVER LININGS
PLAYBOOK is a touching, one-of-akind comedy about love and second
chances. Pat Peoples (Bradley Cooper) is
a man always trying to look on the bright
side of life –the title of the story takes
it’s name from the expression that “every
cloud has a silver lining.” Released from
the hospital after losing his wife to
another man, Pat believes this age-old
adage is just the ticket to trying to win
her back and get his life on track. Trying
to remain resolutely undiscouraged, Pat
moves back in with his parents and
devotes himself entirely to becoming the
man his wife always wanted him to be.
But it’s an uphill battle. Until Pat meets
Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a beautiful
young woman whose life also has not
turned out the way she wanted. Together,
the couple will try and navigate through
their lives and stay true to who they are,
always just one adventure away from a
unique friendship, and possibly even
love.

Garner, Alissa Phillips
Key Cast: Jennifer Garner Ty Burrell
Olivia Wilde Rob Corddry Ashley
Greene Alicia Silverstone with Yara
Shahidi and Hugh Jackman
C A N N E S M AY 2 0 1 2
Origin: USA
A tale of competition at its most cutthroat, BUTTER surveys the raw
ambition of Laura Pickler (Jennifer
Garner), the wife of Bob Pickler (Ty
Burrell), Iowa’s long-reigning champion
butter carver. For 15 years, Laura has
relished her high-profile role as the
beautiful, loyal helpmate to her affable,
artistically gifted husband. But when
Bob is pressured to retire and allow
someone else a chance at glory, an
indignant Laura decides to enter the
competition herself. She is first in line on
sign-up day, only to see her odds of
victory fall below 100 with the arrival of
an unlikely yet formidable contender:
10-year-old Destiny (Yara Shahidi), the
African-American foster child of local
couple Julie and Ethan (Alicia
Silverstone and Rob Corddry). And
that’s not all. Bob’s would-be mistress,
bad-girl stripper Brooke (Olivia Wilde)
also declares her candidacy, as does his
#1 fan, Carol-Ann (Kristen Schaal).
Facing three opponents, mocked by her
stepdaughter Kaitlen (Ashley Greene)
and furious with her husband, Laura
resolves to do whatever it takes to win.
And if that means resorting to sabotage –
and recruiting her dim-witted former
boyfriend Boyd (Hugh Jackman) as a coconspirator – then so be it. In the
tradition of Best In Show and Election,
BUTTER can be enjoyed as a
straightforward, albeit merrily twisted,
comedy about American life and culture.
But Laura Pickler probably wouldn’t be
surprised if the liberal media views
BUTTER as a veiled commentary on the
larger world of politics.
