INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL SEPTEMBER 22 - OCTOBER 5 ¥ 300 FILMS FROM 50 COUNTRIES Cadences (Canada, 95 min.) Ranging from modern dance to experimental film to opera and jazz, this eclectic mix of shorts encom- passes the beats and inflections of a range of artistic media. Cadences includes /carus, Curtis Wehrfritz s stunning dance piece, and Dissonance, Mitchell Kezin’ s short drama about jazz and dating. Werckmeister Harmonies (Hungary/Ger- many, 145 min.) Bla’ s back! From the nihilist that bought us the monumental epic Stntang6 comes another grave, hypnotic and visionary work of bubbling civil unrest in a wintry Hungarian village. Four years in the making, the result is a deeply poetic melancho- lia sure to enthrall. Beau travail (France, 90 min.) Claire Denis’ gorgeous adaptation of Billy Budd, set amidst a French Foreign Legion troop in Africa. Denis Lavant is a sergeant who sets out to destroy a recruit he deems too good to be true None [of Denis] _ previous work has prepared us for the voluptuous austerity of Beau travail.— The New York Times. IMPORTANT DATES: Pandora’ s Beauty (Canada, 92 min.) In con- temporary Montreal, Vincent (Jean-Franois Casabonne) goes on a personal ad date and meets the beautiful Pandora (Pascale Bussires). Recognizing their genuine love, Vincent and Pandora set out on a classic ill- fated love story--one that turns potentially fatal for Vincent... Berlin-Cinma_ (Titre provisoire) (Switzer- land/France, 106 min.) An astonishingly gor- geous, static road movie contrasting philosoph- ical views on film and art by Wim Wenders and Jean-Luc Godard with images of a once-divid- ed city in the process of being rebuilt. A pas- sionate, beautiful meditation on a subject that concerns us all: the moving image. Tuvalu (Germany/Bulgaria, 92 min.) A fantasia that brings to mind the works of Mlies, Keaton, Vigo and Jeunet and Caro, Veit Helmer’s fea- ture debut — set in a dilapidated Eastern European bathhouse and concerning the tribu- lations of Denis Lavant’ s acrobatic attendant — is a surreal and almost wordless dreamscape, awash in images of hypnotic beauty.
