Two girls, Inga and Marie give him secret sanctuary at the school while they work on a way to raise money for his return to his home in Kazakhstan. Marie and Inga are teenagers, talented musicians, and blind. At the school where they live they work on their brail, their music, and their ability to function independently. Through their friendship, talent, and ingenuity they find a way to get their music heard and get their friend home. Curriculum links: German language, social science and humanities, music, guidance. Director: Bernd Sahling / Feature / German with English subtitles / 88 minutes / Germany 2004
THE ART OF VISUAL STORYTELLING Monday 21st November, 2:00pm–4:00pm Documentary Film maker and Animator Chris Shepherd will lead students through the art of visual storytelling through moving image with particular reference to their collaboration in the Channel 4 documentary Bollocks To Cancer. They will explore how their individual creative approaches work, explaining how they conceived and realised such award winning films as Dad Is Dead (Chris Shepherd) and The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off (Patrick Collerton). The intention is to demystify the creative approach and reveal how technical skills should always follow ideas rather than the other way around. The aim is to promote individuality and risk taking as the key to interesting work. The evening events on Monday 21st are closed VIP events.
THE GOURMET CLUB (15) Monday 21st November, 4:15–5:15pm Described as a tasty little comedy from Finland. Dr. Paavo Ylonen is a member of a small exclusive gourmet club where at each sitting the members must guess a secret ingredient in the main course of the meal they are eating. Every week the members wager money, and the person who correctly guesses the basis of the mystery meal wins the cash. When Dr. Ylonen's gambling problem catches up with him, leaving him in debt to his friends, the bank and worst of all a vicious loan shark, he comes up with a mystery ingredient nobody would ever think of. Director: Juha Wuolijoki / Feature / Finnish with English subtitles / 65 minutes / Finland 2005 |
