The CMax International Film Festival is a collection
of eight films from around the globe. It again was
a tough decision on what films to put into the
festival, but as you will see we have a good mix from
different countries and genres.
I am very excited to be launching this year’s festival
with THE HUNT an incredibly powerful film from
Denmark. It was a standout at the Cannes Film
Festival, for which Mads Mikkelson won best actor.
It will be a wonderful week – surrounded by great
food and wine, award winning International Films
and Documentaries, films to make us laugh and films
that will touch our heart.
I hope you can join us for this unique festival – a
festival not to be missed.

“Superb... Wonderful”
Margaret Pomeranz, AT THE MOVIES
Mads Mikkelsen (A ROYAL AFFAIR) delivers a
superb, award-winning performance in this
electrifying new film from Thomas Vinterberg, the
acclaimed director of THE CELEBRATION (FESTEN).
Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen) is beloved by his students
and fellow teachers at his local kindergarten.
After a divorce, made especially painful when his
wife moved away from town with their teenage
son, Marcus, Lucas’ life is recovering with a new
girlfriend, and the reforging of his relationship with
Marcus. His world comes crashing down, however,
when a young girl in his class accuses him of
inappropriate behaviour. It’s a simple lie that spirals
out of control and the small community suddenly
finds itself in a collective state of hysteria. Long held
friendships are tested as mistrust takes hold, and
Lucas must summon all his strength in a brave fight
for his life and dignity.

Based on the poignantly optimistic
autobiographical writings of
California-based journalist and
poet Mark O’Brien, THE SESSIONS

to an iron lung who is determined
- at age 38 - to lose his virginity.
With the help of his therapists and
the guidance of his priest, he sets
out to make his dream a reality.

Directed by Gilles Legrand, You Will
Be My Son stars Niels Arestrup as
Paul de Marseul, a prestigious winemaker and owner of a renowned
chateau and vineyard in SaintÉmilion, whom is disheartened by
the notion of his son Martin (Lorànt
Deutsch) taking over the family
business. Martin does not seem to
have inherited the qualities that
Paul esteems in a wine-maker:
persistence, creative insight and
technical prowess matched with
passion for the job and the product,
and Paul frequently reminds him of
this, whether explicitly or in subtle
gestures. When Philippe (Nicolas
Bridet) appears at the vineyard,
Paul leaps at the chance to name
him as his successor, neglecting the
wishes of his own son. The tension
in this familial triangle comes to a
head when an unexpected event
changes everything.
Like a fine wine, this drama is
full-bodied and complex and
provides a fascinating look at
the matter of the transmission of
knowledge, heritage and tradition
in the world of wine.

A prizewinner at the Cannes,, Gael
García Bernal (The Motorcycle
Diaries) stars as René Saavedra,
an advertising executive who risks
his life by devising a campaign
to defeat dictator Augusto
Pinochet in Chile’s 1988 leadership
referendum. Directed by Pablo
Larraín, this chapter in recent
Chilean history is an absorbing
account of one country’s
unlikely route from oppression to
democracy. “Mr. Larraín blurs the
line between the fiction and the
clips from the real ‘No’ campaign
woven throughout” (New York
Times). Note: film’s pictorial quality
is purposely degraded by the
director to create era-centric
authenticity.

In SILENCE IN THE HOUSE OF GOD:
MEA MAXIMA CULPA Oscarwinning filmmaker Alex Gibney
exposes the abuse of power in the
Catholic Church and a cover-up
that winds its way from the row
houses of Milwaukee Wisconsin,
through the bare ruined choirs of
Ireland’s churches all the way to
the highest office of the Vatican. By
investigating the secret crimes of a
charismatic priest who abused over
200 deaf children in a school under
his control – the film shows the face
of evil that lurks behind the smiles
and denials of authority figures
and institutions who believe that
because they stand for good they
can do no wrong.
From acclaimed director Jacques
Audiard, who delivered such
powerhouse films including the
Oscar-nominated A Prophet,
Read My Lips and the eight
Cesar-award winning The Beat
That My Heart Skipped, comes
Rust and Bone. Penniless and
landed with a 5-year-old son to
look after, he goes to stay with
his sister in Antibes and starts
looking for work. At a nightclub
he meets Stephanie (Cotillard),
a killer whale trainer at the local
Marineland Water Park. Alain is
fascinated by her, but Stephanie
isn’t interested in him, until she
suffers a tragic accident that
leaves her handicapped. An
unusual, physical and codified
relationship develops between
them. As in Audiard’s previous
films, with Rust and Bone he takes
two characters in an unlikely
relationship, on the margins of
society, plagued by their inner
demons and obsessions, and
delivers a deeply dramatic punch.
Based on the extraordinary
true story of President Francois
Mitterand’s private cook.

Laborie, a renown chef from
the Périgord, is astonished when
the President of the Republic
appoints her his personal cook,
responsible for creating all his
meals at the Élysée Palace.
Despite jealous resentment from
the other kitchen staff, Hortense
quickly establishes herself, thanks
to her indomitable spirit. The
authenticity of her cooking soon
seduces the President, but the
corridors of power are littered
with traps…
