Festival Reports

1.

Randolph Jordan stretches his writer's arms in his two-part Fantasia 2003 report, using part one to reflect on cult cinema spectatorship.

2.

Jordan uses part two of his report as an extended mediation on Fantasia (and Jordan) favorite Takashi Miike.

3.

Low budget excels at FanTasia 2003.

4.

In September 2002, at the Toronto International Film Festival, I was very pleased to meet Cheng-Sim Lim, the Head of Programming at the UCLA Film and Television Archive, who told me she was curating a series of films celebrating the history of Chinese Martial Arts on film!

5.

The long wait is over. After a one year hiatus for economic and logistical reasons, the FanTasia International Film Festival is back (July 17-August 10, 2003).

6.

Director Teruo Ishii was a featured director at the 5th Udine Far East Film Festival. Curti analyzes Ishii's ero-guro (erotic-grotesque) cinema.

7.

In a first of a two-part essay, Rist looks back at 25 years of attending the Montreal World Film festival.

8.

A recurring element that struck me during the 2002 Festival International Nouveau Cinéma Nouveaux Medias’ and which I have decided to use as my anchor for this report, is the fragmented narrative, and/or the anthology or omnibus format. Many films at the FCMM were structured using this time honored tradition. Films covered in this report include 11’09’’01, Ten, Gambling, Gods and LSD, Dolls, and Elsewhere.

9.

While lamenting the FCMM's decision to eliminate live performances (at least for this year), Randolph Jordan points to the short film as the one area where the FCMM continues its cutting edge, innovative programming.

10.

Hospitality Korean style makes Professor Rist's first (and certainly not last) trip to Pi-Fan (5th Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival) an event to remember.

11.

Offscreen welcomes Vancouver correspondent Tim Newman as it extends geographically to the Western coast. As a first-time coverage for Offscreen, Newman's descriptive prose captures the all-important ambience of one of Canada's premiere Film Festivals.

12.

Iranian cinema once again leads the way at the Montreal World Film Festival.

13.

Professor Peter Rist visits and revisits one of the most exciting Film Fests anywhere.

14.

Perhaps still an appendice to the mega-Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, the new programming crew are out to make a mark.

15.

A focus on the documentaries and shorts, with a special attention given to How's Your News?
