It’s Only Talk
Three lovers – three different identities. Yuko is 35, single, unemployed, manic-depressive and divides her time between a variety of men - her university friend, a self-confessed pervert, a manic-depressive gangster, her cousin, who is separated from his wife and dumped by his lover. Ryuichi Hiroki explores the essence of “being alive” and “continuing to live” in this tragi-comedy.
often such attraction in its print Ad ( which leads me to this) often doesnt promise nice plots. - i shall not judge :) but stil.. dnt we just love the print ad ppl...nicenice.. itnk i love this ad.
A Ballad For My Son
International Premiere
Elad and Daniel have turned 18 and are about to be drafted into the Israeli army. They believe they each have made the right decision. Daniel is willing to sacrifice his freedom and Elad his life. As much as the film deals with difficult choices that confront young Israelis today, it is also the story of a people who are still beset by insecurity, guilt and fear, searching for solutions and identity.
Director: Tzipi Trope Country: Israel Duration:80min
Short Films About The Tsunami
Nine soul searching short films by 10 leading experimental artists and video/filmmakers are showcased in this feature. The project is part of Thailand’s tsunami memorial and headed by Thailand’s reputed experimental filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The programme is about loss and resurrection and how it has affected lives following the tragedy. The films build eerily on the unexpected that unfolds on that fateful day. Anger is also voiced for the lack of initiative taken to lessen the catastrophe.

When an accidental fire broke out, the theatre burned down. Its edifice is symbolic of performing artistes in Cambodia who are also on the verge of becoming extinct.
