SUMMARY:JERRY LEWIS: THE MAN BEHIND THE CLOWN - CALIFORNIA PREMIERE + 2 shorts
DESCRIPTION:JERRY LEWIS: THE MAN BEHIND THE CLOWN\n  CALIFORNIA PREMIERE\n\nSince the early days\, Jerry Lewis – in the line of Chaplin\, Keaton and Laurel – had the masses laughing with his visual gags\, pantomime sketches and signature slapstick humor. Yet Lewis was far more than just a clown. He was also a groundbreaking filmmaker whose unquenchable curiosity led him to write\, produce\, stage and direct many of the films he appeared in\, resulting in such adored classics as The Bellboy\, The Ladies Man\, The Errand Boy\, and The Nutty Professor. By becoming a “total filmmaker\,” Lewis surpassed expectations as a comic performer and emerged as a driving force in Hollywood. He broke boundaries with his technical innovations\, unique voice and keen visual eye\, even garnering respect and praise overseas. However\, American critics and the cultural elite tended to reject his abrasive art. While they viewed Lewis as nothing more than just a clown\, others like the French recognized him as a true auteur\, giving rise to questions that have perplexed American pop culture for over 50 years: Why do Europeans love Jerry Lewis? What is this inexplicable aversion Americans have towards him? Is he just a brash\, anything-for-yuk buffoon? Or is he a creative genius? Who is the man behind the clown? \nFeaturing Interviews with Martin Scorsese\, Sean Hayes\, Tony Lewis\, Pierre Etaix\, Jonathan Rosenbaum\, Rae Beth Gordon\, Ted Okuda\, Shaun Micallef.  With appearances by Jean-Luc Godard\, Louis Malle\, Robert Benayoun and more. \n\n\nFESTIVALS:  Telluride Festival\, World Premiere\, September 2\, 2016\nRunning time:  61 min\nDistributor:   Seventh Art Releasing\nLanguage:  English | French \nShowing with:\nTHE LAST BLINTZ  (30 min) \nThe closing of the The Cafe Edison (aka The Polish Tea Room)\, the Broadway diner immortalized in Neil Simon’s 45 Seconds from Broadway\, is not just a story about another famous show business haunt shutting its doors\, it is the fading away of a piece of an America past. \nDirector:  Dori Berinstein\nDistributor:  Seventh Art Releasing \nand \nBAGELS IN THE BLOOD (5 min) \nNestled between shops in a residential neighborhood in French Montreal lies a quiet brownstone building—an old converted house with a wood fired oven in the back. \nIrwin Shalafman\, third-generation owner of famous bagel shop Fairmount Bagel\, shows us how it all started \nDirectors:  Jonathan Keijser and Daniel Beresh\nDistributor:  Seventh Art Releasing

SUMMARY:DON'T CALL ME SON  (Brazil)
DESCRIPTION:WEST COAST PREMIERE \n“Tall\, dark\, androgynously handsome\, Pierre wears eyeliner and a black lace g-string\, while having sex with both boys and girls. The confusion only goes deeper when the teenager’s single\, working-class mom is arrested for having stolen him at birth. Thanks to the wonders of DNA\, he’s returned to his biological parents: bourgeois\, straight-laced and thrilled to have him back — at least until he joins them at a bowling alley in a zebra-print mini dress. The turmoil of adolescence is plumbed with wit and compassion by writer/director Anna Muylaert\, whose earlier film\, The Second Mother\, also dealt with familial loyalty and class tensions. Actress Dani Nefussi gives completely believable knock-out performances in the role of bothmothers\, and newcomer Naomi Nero makes short shrift of anyone’s expectations as a broodingly intense\, potentially volcanic six-footer in stiletto heels.”  –Karen Cooper\, Director\, Film Forum \nRunning Time:  82 min \nDistributor:  Zeitgeist Films \nLanguage:  Portugese \nDirector:  Anna Muylaert (‘The Second Mother’\, ‘Chamada a Cobrar’) \nStarring:  Naomi Nero\, Daniel Botelho\, Daniela Nefussi\, Matheus Nachtergaele\, Lais Dias\,Luciana Paes\, Helena Albergaria \nWritten by:   Anna Muylaert \nTrailer:http://www.flicks.co.nz/trailer/dont-call-me-son/14243/ \nFESTIVALS:  Several festivals in 2016\, including the Berlin International Film Festival and the International Festival of Melbourne. \nDon’t Call Me Son will open in New York on November 2\, 2016 before playing around the country.

SUMMARY:MY KING / MON ROI   (France)
DESCRIPTION:PREVIEW \n\nTony (Emmanuelle Bercot\, in a performance that won her the Best Actress Award at Cannes) and Georgio (Vincent Cassel) are an odd match—or so Tony’s brother Solal (Louis Garrel) thinks when she tells him that they’re falling quickly\, recklessly in love.  Director Maïwenn’s 4th feature captures the couple’s tempestuous 10-year relationship\, in retrospect\, as a string of flash points – eruptions\, betrayals\, tender reconciliations\, and life-altering decisions. Maïwenn’s impressive new film is one of French Cinema’s most memorable recent “amour fous” (crazy love.) \nWriters:  Maïwenn\, Etienne Comar\nDirector: Maïwenn\nRunning Time:  124 minutes\nGenre:  Drama|Romance\nDistributor:  Film Movement\nCountry:  France\nLanguage:  French w|English Subtitles\nStarring:  Vincent Cassel\, Emmanuelle Bercot\, Louis Garrel\, Isils Le Besco\nRating:  N|R \nFESTIVALS:  France\, Cannes Film Festival; Brazil\, Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival; Finland\, Helsinki International Film Festival; Switzerland\, Zurich Film Festival; Germany\, Hamburg Film Festival; Netherlands\, Leiden International Film Festival; Canada\, Cinemania Film Festival; Sweden\, Göteborg International Film Festival; Serbia\, Belgrade Film Festival; USA: Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival\, COLCOA Film Festival\, Los Angeles; Republic of Macedonia\, Skopje Film Festival; South Korea\, Jeonju International Film Festival; Philippines\, French Film Festival; Japan\, Festival du Film Français au Japon \nAWARDS:  Cannes Film Festival\, Emmanuelle Bercot\, Best Actress \n  \n“Emmanuelle Bercot (Toni) and Vincent Cassel (Georgio) shine in this simple drama about a couple of extroverts who have too much in common for their relationship to be everlasting. We learn all about this roller coaster ride of a marriage via Toni’s reflective thoughts as she recovers from knee surgery after a skiing accident which we witness\, partially\, in the opening scene. The thrill of this flashback technique holds us suspended\, most particularly concerning Georgio’s fate.”  A Sliver of Film \n  \nOfficial Website w|Trailer:  http://www.frenchflicks.com/film-31/alias/mon-roi-2.html \n\n\n\n\n\nClick here: Vincent Cassel – Wikipedia\, the free encyclopedia\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Bercot is heartbreaking\, and Cassel has never been better… it’s clear that Maïwenn has something to say – and a clear\, strong style with which to express it.” \n– Peter Debruge\, Variety
