Thank you

Welcome to IndieCork 7!

We’re a little surprised but delighted to find ourselves seven years old this year! Our delight is in presenting our strongest programme yet. The festival is book-ended by two strong Irish comedies and in between we have films from the Sundance, Berlin, Cannes, Rotterdam, Toronto, and Venice festivals among others. We are also honoured to screen three Irish world premieres - one fiction and two documentary features.

A founding purpose of IndieCork is to serve as a platform for emerging filmmakers and we present 12 programmes of new Irish short films, including three programmes of shorts competing for our Best Emerging Irish Female Director award. We welcome all those presenting their films to IndieCork audiences as they set out on their filmmaking careers.

A huge thanks to our sponsors, Blacknight and other funders for their crucial support to our programme and venue partners, to the IndieCork Members, to our many volunteers and of course to our supporters and audiences.

IndieCork is an international festival and, after seven years, one with an international reputation. However, we’re conscious of our place within the local creative community – of filmmakers, musicians and artists and for us this is important. Cork is a creative place and we’re proud to be part of that. Thank you for joining us for this special week!

Dark Lies The Island is an Irish comedy about a family spinning out of control in a small rural town where two brothers try to crawl out from the shadow of their domineering father while his young wife is trapped in a whirlpool of sexual jealousy.

It’s a story about life and death, sex and violence, dark memories, murderous intentions, jealousy, guilt, and betrayal. The film comes from the fertile imagination of award-winning novelist, playwright and now screenwriter, Kevin Barry.

“Martin and John Michael McDonagh watch out! Another Irish literary figure has made the jump to the silver screen, bringing something fresh to the country’s trademark dark comedies.“ Film IrelandSource: Break Out Pictures

Gate Cinema

Based on the true story of Hatun Aynur Sürücü, whose murder caused an outcry in 2005, this compelling film is the story of a confident young German woman of Kurdish-Turkish ancestry, who loves life and knows exactly how she wants to live hers. However, pressed into a forced marriage in Istanbul, her personal tragedy unfolds. Eventually returning home with her child to Germany and divorced disgrace, she rejects the faith in which she was raised. Through an innovative approach, the director restores Aynur’s voice by allowing her narrate her own fate and story.

“Sherry Hormann’s compelling feature finds a fresh angle on the ‘honour killing’.” Variety “A meticulous dramatic re-enactment designed specifically to give a victim back their voice.” The Hollywood Reporter

Corpus Christi

10th October

8.30pm

Gate Cinema

Inspired by real-life events, the film follows the story of a young troubled man, whose experience of a spiritual transformation while living in a youth detention center, eventually leads him to a small parish where he impersonates a visiting priest. His accidental taking over of the local parish as a charismatic preacher is an opportunity for the community to begin the healing process after a local tragedy.

“Bielenia captures a vivid sense of the emotions that Daniel experiences from the alertness of a trapped animal at the offenders’ institution to the euphoria that seems to surge through him after the delivery of a rousing sermon. His committed performance and Komasa’s assured storytelling convince us.” Screen Daily

Flatland

11th October

8.30pm

Gate Cinema

After her disastrous wedding night, Natalie flees her husband and her small town in South Africa’s desolate Karoo region. Reuniting with her best friend Poppie, the two women escape together across the endless winter landscape. Hot on their trail is Captain Beauty Cuba, a lonely policewoman intent on proving the innocence of her fiancé, who has been framed for Natalie’s crime. The fate of these three different, yet equally desperate women converges as they ride towards self-discovery.

“Jenna Bass’s blast of a third feature is a limber, lively and very South African fusion of western, road movie and film noir… something of a feminist milestone for a national cinema where genre film has hitherto been a boys’ game.“ Variety

Letters to Paul Morrissey

9th October

12:00pm

Gate Cinema

Drugs, vampirism, existential crises and melodies of another time mark the lives of several characters: a sex symbol of the underground cinema, two cursed lovers, a man seeking his salvation, an unsuccessful actress and a Japanese with a mysterious illness. Five stories apparently not related but have a curious relationship with each other. Paul Morrissey, film director and collaborator with Andy Warhol‘s Factory.

“Armand Rovira’s Letters to Paul Morrissey is a true pleasure to witness, slightly echoing Guy Maddin’s experiments with found footage and certainly his weird sense of humour.” Cineuropa

North of Blue

10th October

12.30pm

Gate Cinema

Inspired by the chilling and mysterious winter landscapes of the Yukon, North of Blue is a mesmerizing non-narrative exploration giving form to the formless and offering shifting focal points and patterns that explore tensions between the recognizable and the strange.

“Bursting with lively colours and dynamic shapes, North of Blue is abstract art come to life. A dreamlike façade, North of Blue is a stunning symphony which speaks to the explorer in us all.” Ottawa International Animation Festival

Sibyl

12th October

8.30pm

Gate Cinema

The closing film of Cannes Film Festival 2019, this elegantly told tale of a psychotherapist, is in many ways, the story of a creative crisis. Sibyl, a jaded psychotherapist, returns to her first passion, writing. But her newest patient Margot, a troubled up-and-coming actress, proves to be a source of inspiration that is far too tempting. Fascinated almost to the point of obsession, Sibyl becomes more and more involved in Margot’s tumultuous life, reviving volatile memories that bring her face to face with her past.

“A witty, slinky, psychodrama with just enough on its mind.” Variety

Punk Never Ends!

11th October

11.45am

Gate Cinema

A thirty-year-old drug-addict punk lives in a decaying sublet at a dump with his partner and his two-year-old son. His ‘idyllic’ world is suddenly threatened by a letter from the social services. In fear of losing the child, the punk pulls himself together and seeks a satisfactory resolution to the situation. His impulsive behaviour, however, does not take account of the consequences, and all the opportunities result in a free fall. 

“Šlauka combines fiction and documentary realism to portray the obscure reality of a group of punks in the suburbs of Western Slovakia… an enthralling excursion into a setting unknown to most.” Cineuropa

Director: Soudade Kaadan Year: 2018 Country: Syria Running Time: 90 mins

The Day I Lost My Shadow

9th October

3.45pm

Gate Cinema

At the outset of the war in Syria, young mother Sana, is trying to maintain normality in her home for the sake of her son. But between power outages, the water being cut off, and gas shortages Sana’s daily duties are becoming increasingly difficult. Intent on cooking for her son, Sana takes a risk: along with brother and sister, she hires a cab to get propane. When the trio is caught in a misunderstanding at a checkpoint, they find themselves lost on the outskirts of Damascus. With night falling, and her son alone at home, Sana is dragged deeper into the conflict and, at times, into another world.

“An impressive depiction of one of the most tragic realities of the past decades.” Variety

Advocate

11th October

6.00pm

Gate Cinema

Lea Tsemel defends Palestinians: from feminists to fundamentalists, from nonviolent demonstrators to armed militants. As a Jewish-Israeli lawyer who has represented political prisoners for five decades, Tsemel, in her tireless quest for justice, pushes the praxis of a human rights defender to its limits. As far as most Israelis are concerned, she defends the indefensible. As far as Palestinians are concerned she’s more than an attorney, she’s an ally.

Advocate follows Tsemel’s caseload in real time, including the high-profile trial of a 13-year-old boy, her youngest client to date, while also revisiting her landmark cases and reflecting on the political significance of her work and the personal price one pays for taking on the role of ‘devil’s advocate’.

BecomingAnimal

10th October

11.30am

Gate Cinema

With its dizzying diversity of wildlife, trails of curious humans in RV’s and billion-year-old geology, the film is a geyser of provocative ideas and heightened sensations related to the sublime circuitry that connects us to our ever-shifting surroundings. Driven by wonder, curiosity and a desire for balance between ecological and technological imperatives, Becoming Animal is an invitation to explore our relationship with this “more than human world” and recognise it for what it is: an exquisitely intricate system in which everything is alive and expressive, humans, animals and landscapes are inextricably interdependent, and there is no such thing as empty space.

“Something actually new and full of life came in the form of freewheeling audiovisual essay, Becoming Animal... A big-screen viewing recommended.” Sight and Sound

Hungary 2018

6th October

6.00pm

Gate Cinema

In a politically-ruptured Hungary, left-winger Ferenc Gyurcsány battles against nationalism. Twenty-eight years after the fall of communism, and on the eve of a new presidential election, Hungary arrives at a political crossroads. Is it another four years of far-right populism, with Viktor Orbán, or will former Prime Minister Gyurcsány and his pro-European left-wing party prevail? This film transcends political battles and seeks to understand the rise of nationalism, and right-wing extremism in Europe. The majority of the crew still seek anonymity out of fear of revenge under Orbán’s regime.

“A thrilling documentary… the film becomes a portrait, not only of the elections in Hungary, but of the rise of nationalism worldwide.” Cineuropa

Island

7th October

3.45pm

Gate Cinema

Across the water on the island, four individuals experience the year in which their lives will end. Illness progresses, relationships gently shift, and we are witness to rarely-seen and intensely private moments. One person shares their acceptance of death, whilst another is surrounded by a community in shock. Filmed over twelve months on the Isle of Wight, Island is a life-affirming reflection on the phenomena of dying, portraying the transition away from personhood and observing the last days and hours of life. The moment of death is shown to be natural and everyday, but also unspeakable and strange.

“Hauntingly evocative” The GuardianBest Observational Documentary, Docs Ireland, 2019Director Steven Eastwood will present the film. He will give a Documentary Masterclass in UCC on Tuesday Oct 8th. See page 38.

Born in Czechoslovakia, Miloš Foreman’s parents died in concentration camps and he grew up in an orphanage. This sealed his lifelong commitment to resisting authority. Fed a steady diet of propaganda films, he falls for Italian neo-realism, buys a 16mm camera and bunks into film school. Forman makes the Czech New Wave classic The Fireman’s Ball and after fleeing to New York in 1968 and a spell lounging in the Chelsea Hotel, he makes One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s nest. 

“Using illuminating footage from all phases of Milos Forman‘s life, veteran filmmaker Trestíková pays a warm tribute to a man who steered a roller-coaster route to an eventful and fulsome 86 years” The Hollywood ReporterCannes Film Festival, 2019

Losing Alaska

9th October

8.30pm

Gate Cinema

Sitting atop a melting permafrost, battered by coastal erosion and aggressive summer melt waters, Newtok, Alaska is set to be the first American town lost to climate change.

Losing Alaska tells the story of a small community dealing with a slow moving disaster. They have known for decades that their future was in peril; they have seen the land dropping away on all sides and the river growing stronger year after year. They will lose their first building sometime in 2019. The school, the highest building in the town, could be taking in water by 2020. This is the local story with global significance.

Director Tom Burke will attend the screening.

Lift

Lift is the inspiring story of Karen Barry, a Cork woman, dental receptionist and mum-of-three. Several years ago and feeling unhealthy she decided to get fit. She tried jogging but found it boring. She tried spin classes but they weren’t for her. Then one day she spotted the weights in the corner of the gym. She’d never lifted as much as a dumbbell but something about them appealed to her. Two months later she lifted 95kg and the gym’s owner’s jaw dropped to the floor. In powerlifting, Karen had found her sport and she went on to break Irish records. 

2017 is her biggest year yet. She aims to qualify for the World Championships in Minsk.  It’s a huge commitment but Karen faces into it with cheerful courage.

Pahokee

11th October

11.30am

Gate Cinema

This is a detailed and astonishing portrait of Pahokee, a rural village in the Everglades, Florida. Very close-knit, its inhabitants fight to face fragile financial situations and an uncertain future. The film captures the daily life of the city. From sporting events to beauty contests at school, the filmmakers explore social and community rituals, and how gender and identity are portrayed as new stories are created. Pahokee is complex multi-faceted work that recalls both the raw social realism of the new American cinema and the neorealist style, a powerful portrait of a forgotten America, absent from the current political discourse.

Push

8th October

8.30pm

Gate Cinema

Housing prices are skyrocketing in cities around the world. Incomes are not. Push sheds light on a new kind of faceless landlord, on increasingly unliveable cities and on an escalating crisis that has an effect on us all. This is not gentrification, it’s a different kind of monster. The film follows Leilani Farha, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, as she travels the globe, trying to understand who’s being pushed out of the city and why.

“I believe there’s a huge difference between housing as a commodity and gold as a commodity. Gold is not a human right, housing is.” Leilani Farha.“Push: a gripping new film about how global finance is fuelling the housing crisis and making cities unaffordable to live in.” The GuardianThe screening will be followed by a panel discussion on the housing crisis in Cork.

Splitting The Sop documents the rich history of the indigenous sport of Irish road bowling, its development over the years and its significance in Irish culture and heritage. 

Historian Séamus Ó Tuama tells the story of the sport and its place in local folklore. We learn of the legendary Mick Barry and notables such as Liam O’Keeffe from Waterfall, his sister May who represented Ireland and Kieran Gould, from Fairhill, three-time King of the Roads champion. John O’Driscoll and his cousin Jim O’Driscoll are two of the many prominent bowlers from the Traveller community who’s success shows that community’s considerable presence in the sport.

A documentary on the life and work of one of Ireland‘s greatest prose writers, Aidan Higgins (1927 – 2015). The film traces his extraordinary life from his birthplace in Celbridge, his years in London, Berlin and Kinsale; his triumphs and failures; his travels in quest of what he termed “a trade recondite as Falconry“, the dedicated writer‘s life.

“This is a rich filmic profile of a complex artist. Indeed, it succeeds at two levels, which is unusual. It is both a revealing portrait of a complex man but also of the complex body of work he has left behind him.” Tom KilroyDirector Neil Donnelly will attend the screening.Source: [email protected]

Lamis and Wilson are migrants in New York. She’s a Lebanese who’s just arrived, and he’s a Brazilian who’s lived there illegally for 10 years. A hybrid narrative constructed with a poetic approach; a travel diary that becomes a chronic and takes us into the essence of human micro-politics in times of globalization: an uncertain kingdom of desire, hope and fears.

“A poetic, philosophical, romantic tale told using elliptical images and literary voice- over, While We Are Here is a delicately crafted Brazilian gem that proved one of the finds of this year‘s Rotterdam Film Festival.” Film Review

Rotterdam Film Festival, 2019

To the occasional random visitor the quiet courtyard with its dreamy linden trees presents itself as an enchanted garden right off the busy life of Torstrasse. ‘What does it mean to inhabit a space?’ asks filmmaker and resident Matthias Lintner at the beginning of the film. The answer lies in the affectionate portraits of his neighbors. The director closely watches and listens to his house-mates, who have built a world of their own, and refuses to focus on the outside world. Ideas on vacantness and void appear as a subversive act against the utopia of the well-ordered spaces and echo the thoughts of writer Georges Perec, his quotes adding an essay-like layer.

Alessandro and Pietro are 16 years-old and live in Naples, district of Traiano where, in the summer of 2014, Davide Bifolco, also 16, was shot by a policeman who mistook him for a fugitive. They are inseparable friends, Alessandro works as a waiter in a bar, Pietro dreams of becoming a hairdresser. Alessandro and Pietro accept the director’s proposal to shoot themselves with an iPhone, commenting live on their daily experiences, their close friendship, their neighbourhood, and the tragedy that ended Davide’s life.

“I cannot forget that the story that sparked off my project, the tragedy of Davide’s death, is all about injustice and the pain and marginalisation felt by a boy, his family, his friends and their neighbourhood.” Agostino Ferrente

Beatlebums: The White AlbumThe Beatles 1968 ‘White Album’ has a unique place in the history of popular music, having emerged during a tumult of social change. Its songs are incredibly diverse in style, and though some are household favourites others are highly experimental, political and still challenging. To mark the 51st anniversary of its launch, Cork’s own Beatlebums will perform the entire album from ‘Back in the USSR’ to Goodnight’. And you can sing along! A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

Thursday oct 10th The Guesthouse / 7pm / €6

Angel: An Evening Without Scott Walker (1943-2019)Scott Walker’s musical journey took many unusual turns. In the 1960’s he was the poster boy of the Walker Brothers, but his ambitious solo work took him far from the mainstream rock scene. His last decades produced his most stark and artistically uncompromising material. This even, in partnership with The Guesthouse, presents responses to Walk-er’s music by renowned Irish sound artists.

Friday oct 11th Blacknight @ Dali / 7pm / €8

Myles Manley + ShithättShithätt are the hättest garage/noise band to ever come out of Co Mayo. Live, they are simply blistering. And..after two years of trying we have managed to book them on their farewell tour so this is definitely not a gig to miss. As if Shithätt was not enough, they are paired this evening with the magnificent Myles Manley and his long-term collaborators Chris Barry and Solamh Kelly. The Thin Air describes Myles as a ‘completely one of a kind artist with a brilliant and unconven-tional mind.’ You won’t hear pop as intelligent as this anywhere in Ireland.
