CATALOGUE PART 4

THE OVERBROOK BROTHERS
MONDAY 5 OCTOBER AT 7:30PM
It’s Christmas time and Jason (Nathan Harlan) and Todd (Mark
Reeb) have assembled, complete with girlfriends at their father’s
house. Todd is a tricky character, devious and a bully who’s
seemingly always angling for a fight while aspiring writer, Jason,
seems like his exact opposite, a genuinely nice guy who’s just
trying to get along. Over a typically dysfunctional family dinner,
Todd begins fighting with Jason over pointless family issues
which eventually grows physical before Todd imparts his secret
knowledge as to why Jason was always, in his mind at least,
‘the least favourite’ of the family’s three children, courtesy of a
document he’s stumbled upon tucked away in a locked drawer.
The brothers soon discover the revelations don’t end there.
What ensues is a bizarrely comic road trip across the
landscape of the American south where the brothers set out to
discover the truth not only about their past but about each other.
Director John Bryant scores highly with this funny, original and
poignant comedy that will resonate long after you see it. This is
due not only to the acting skills of the two leads, Nathan Harlan
and Mark Reeb but the skill of writing and direction. SB

SEVENTEENTH RAINDANCE FILM FESTIVAL

REDLAND
SATURDAY 3 OCTOBER AT 8:45PM + WEDNESDAY 7 OCTOBER AT 1:45PM
Described as an avant-garde Western, Redland is the type
of American independent film we haven’t seen made for years.
Shot stunningly on 35mm, Redland is set during the 1930s
Depression era in a tiny outpost in the Redland County, California.
A family is struggling to survive in a mountain shack, whilst the
daughter conceals her love affair from her zealous father.
With starvation and death on the plate, the family have to make
painful moral sacrifices which entail dire consequences.
Asiel Norton’s debut feature has abandoned the digital school
of casual realism and adopted the stunning visuals of 35mm
supported by director of photography Zoran Popovic, better
known for shooting horror genre films. As a consequence,
Redland has a dreamy look, reminiscent of Altman, Malick
and Weir, combined with the glow associated to Capra.
Norton is quoted as saying he wanted ‘the film itself to look
alive, like the film was breathing’, reflected in the soundtrack full
of heavy breathing and rustling clothes, repeatedly suggesting
arousal or death throes. He has created a challenging film, and
with it almost certainty written his own ticket to success. EG

SON OF THE SUNSHINE
MONDAY 5 OCTOBER AT 5:15PM
Set in downtown Toronto’s underbelly, this is the story of Sonny
Johns, a young man who has spent his life growing up in lowincome housing, while juggling his Tourette’s Syndrome with
a mysterious ability to heal the sick and dying.
In addition, he is the product of a broken and dysfunctional
family and after having suffered years of rejection not only from
all he meets but also from those closest to him, he decides
to use his savings from years of government disability payouts
to go ahead with a risky and dangerous surgery which may
or may not cure him.
But it seems Sonny’s problems may extend beyond the medical
when he becomes entangled with a beautiful and mysterious
stranger who seems as broken as himself.
Meanwhile post surgery, Sonny’s Tourettes has disappeared
completely but so has his ability to heal.
Director Ryan Ward, a recent graduate of Toronto’s Ryerson
University’s Film Program has pulled off a filmmaking tourde-force by handling nearly every job connected with the film
himself. His debut feature marks the arrival of a distinctive
new voice in Canadian cinema. SB

STUCK!
SATURDAY 10 OCTOBER AT 9:15PM
Daisy is an innocent young woman who finds herself on death
row, framed for her mother’s murder. Confined to a women’s
prison where she encounters a brutal butch guard and sharptongued fellow inmates, whose spiteful clique has no place
for a sweet little blond girl. Berated by the media and the public,
Daisy must try to get through every day with the hope that the
truth will eventually prevail and she can escape to her former life.
Steve Balderson’s latest feature is a startling throwback to the
women in prison exploitation films of the 1970s, with a noir twist
and Tennessee Williams-style dialogue. It is a breathtaking fusion
of genres that, while unashamedly camp and tongue in cheek,
never seems less than totally genuine. Balderson’s passion
for these genres is shown in every frame, from the brilliant noir
cinematography to the authentic portrayals of the classic women
in prison archetypes. Rob Kleiner’s jazz score provides a suitably
atmospheric and evocative musical accompaniment. Though
it owes much to films from the past, it feels fresh and timeless.
Featuring cult queens Karen Black and John Waters regular
Mink Stole, who are ably supported by a perfectly cast set
of sassy vixens, Stuck! is a must for any B-Movie fan and proves
to be Balderson’s most assured film yet. JM

TRUE ADOLESCENTS
FRIDAY 2 OCTOBER AT 7:45PM
Sam (Mark Duplass) is a 34-year-old, headphone-wearing slacker
intent on pursuing a career as a rock musician (despite any
industry interest) who plays with his own band, ‘Effort’. When his
girlfriend abruptly dumps him, rendering him homeless and he’s
turned down by the few friends he asks – it’s time to call in the
family. He finds himself begging his Aunt Sharon, an ex-hippie,
single mom (Oscar-nominated Melissa Leo,) to let him stay.
She agrees but there’s strings attached; her ex-husband has
just bailed out of a camping weekend with their teenage son
and she’s looking for a replacement. Despite his initial misgivings,
self-involved Sam soon finds himself taking his 14-year-old cousin
Oliver and his best friend Jake on a camping trip.
They set off for the woods where Sam temporarily puts aside
his own problems to focus on showing the boys a good time.
The boys however resist his awkward attempts at male bonding
and a power struggle ensues until an accident occurs and the
tone significantly darkens, forcing all concerned to grow up.
Mark Duplass, who also stars in our opening night film,
Humpday, once again demonstrates his considerable acting
ability, while debut director, Craig Johnson keeps things moving
in this well- paced, nuanced tale of latent rites of passage. SB

YOU WONT MISS ME
THURSDAY 1 OCTOBER AT 7PM + FRIDAY 2 OCTOBER AT 2:30PM
Meet Shelly Brown (Stella Schnabel), 23, just discharged from
a psychiatric unit by her shrink – ‘This place is not good for you’
–and heading back to her life as a sometime struggling actress.
As she heads home to Manhattan on the back of a friend’s
motorbike we’re also swept up in the whirlwind of her existence.
She’s a free spirit, sexually impulsive, non-judgmental of her
friends and seemingly up for any and everything We witness her
fumbling sex with chain-smoking boys and her struggles through
acting auditions held by directors who take pretentious to a
whole new level. Throughout, Shelley is presented as a bundle
of contradictions, tough yet weak, confused yet together,
obnoxious but divine.
While there is no surfeit of plot, there is nonetheless much
to delight. Stella Schnabel for a start is old-school ravishing as
Shelly Brown. In only her third feature (Basquiat, Before Night
Falls) and her first starring role, she gives a flawless performance
as the self-involved 20-something.
For Ry Russo-Young’s second feature, she skilfully juggles five
different shooting formats from 16 and 8mm all the way down to
consumer video. The result is a stylish and very intimate film that
has been compared to the photographs of Nan Goldin. SB

BELIEVE
Believe chronicles comedian Eddie Izzard’s rise to fame from
his early influences – losing his mother to cancer at a young age
before being sent with his brother to boarding school to his close
present day relationship with his supportive father.
At school, when he saw what getting into the Cambridge
Footlights Revue could do for your career his goal became to
follow Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson and try
for a place at the university. When that didn’t happen he headed
up to the Edinburgh Festival, equipped with nothing but a unicycle
and some banter, eventually figuring out how to draw a crowd.
He’s been working hard at it ever since.
Believe is the mantra of Eddie Izzard – if you want to be a
singer, you’ve got to believe you can sing, if you want to be a
comedian you’ve got to believe you can be funny. Eddie believes
in Eddie and it was this rock solid self-belief that allowed him to
perform onstage as a transvestite when it was considered career
suicide. When his West End show, Dressed To Kill won critical
acclaim he had only himself to thank for booking the theatre.
Director Sarah Townsend skilfully combines home video,
stills and archival footage in this intimate and edgy portrait
of the performer. SB

HOUSE OF NUMBERS
THURSDAY 1 OCTOBER AT 2:30PM
A film that has already been branded as controversial, defamatory,
denialist and propagandist, The House Of Numbers has already
attracted huge pressure to be dropped from the festival. The
furore the documentary (largely unseen) has provoked, focuses
around allegations that the film denies the existence of HIV.
Brent Leung’s investigation into the history of AIDS/HIV
is thought-provoking, raising a number of questions regarding
the assessment and treatment of the virus and the immense
discrepancies in the categorisation of the disease. Touring the
world, interviewing figures in the field, Leung makes a number
of disturbing statements. He identifies the historic ‘causes’
of the disease, initially known as GRID (Gay-Related Immune
Deficiency). Examining the causes for ‘denialist’ movements,
he pins out the inconsistencies in the initial researches, and
the fatality of the primary medications for the disease, supported
by balanced contributions from its contributors.
Most interestingly, Leung’s attempt at exploring the theories
behind claims HIV does not cause AIDS, show an underlying
issue in so far as the scientific world remain divided over the virus
and is a fascinating insight into the denialist movement.

IT CAME FROM KUCHAR
Filmmakers George and Mike Kuchar were pioneers of their time.
Known as the ‘8mm Mozarts’ their wacky, hilarious and sensitive
films inspired an era of filmmakers and helped shape the New
York Avant Garde and underground film scene of the ’60s.
Growing up in the Bronx in the 1950s, the young pair adopted
a passion for low-budget filmmaking, compulsively copying
Hollywood melodramas by borrowing their aunt’s 8mm homemovie camera and using their friends as cast, or neighbourhood
as film set. The intrinsic ability to create human films, combined
with their flair for the surreal and comedic, contributed
to noticeably different and ground-breaking films.
Having taught at the San Francisco Art Institute since the
’80s, George Kuchar’s film student Jennifer M Kroot, examines
the history of the two brothers, interviewing their admirers, their
history and intertwines clips from their ‘greatest hits’. It Came
From Kuchar is a compelling and affectionate account, with
a focus on the documentation of the latest class production;
an attempt to make an over-the-top ‘monster picture’.
A mesmerising and touching tale, Kroot’s portrait is an engaging
and emotional look at these inspiring filmmakers. EG

I THINK WE’RE ALONE NOW
TUESDAY 6 OCTOBER AT 9:45PM
The obsessed fan has long been an object of fascination for
writers and filmmakers, and here we’re subjected to a pair
of particularly deluded and slightly terrifying admirers of ’80s
pop singer Tiffany. Jeff Turner is a 50-year-old man who has
professed his love for the singer since 1988, appearing at
almost every concert and fan convention. Kelly McCormick is
a transgendered person who claims to have been best friends
with Tiffany since they were both teenagers. Following both of
them individually through their daily lives and their attendance
of Tiffany-related events, director Sean Donnelly explores
the psyches of this twisted pair; investigating their obsessive
motivations and their own perception of their place within her life.
Donnelly’s documentary could easily be labeled as a real-life
Misery, and indeed in parts there are Kathy Bates-esque qualities
to both Jeff and Kelly, though the film isn’t simply concerned
with the creepiness of its lonely subjects and at times it’s difficult
not to sympathise with them. The fact that Tiffany herself is now
playing local family festivals rather than stadium gigs adds a
further dimension to the film, as her own dwindling fanbase could
be seen to be somewhat reliant on people like this to maintain
her own sense of celebrity. JM

MY BIG BREAK
Breaking into the film industry is notoriously difficult no matter
what your chosen vocation, and if you’re an aspiring actor
the odds of making it are even tougher. When documentary
filmmaker Tony Zierra began following a group of college friends
who lived together under the same roof, tracking their hopes of
making it as Hollywood actors, he could never have predicted the
story that eventually unfolded. The roommates were Brad Rowe,
Chad Lindberg, Wes Bentley and Greg Fawcett. As the cameras
begin rolling, the careers of Rowe, Lindberg and Bentley rise at
an astronomical rate, as they gain the attention of the film media
and acting jobs become more and more frequent, while Fawcett
is the one left behind, struggling to get auditions while his friends
rapidly become superstars.
My Big Break is a fascinating film examining the psyche
of those on the brink of success. Made over a ten-year period,
and previously blocked from release, it offers an insight into the
realities facing struggling actors and the unpredictable nature
of Hollywood. Bentley’s story is particularly interesting as he
became the most successful of all with American Beauty, yet
is the most affected by his own fame, while Fawcett’s decent
to near-insanity is truly gripping. JM

THE NARCOTIC FARM
The United States Narcotic Farm first opened its doors in 1935 in
Lexington, Kentucky to treat those suffering from drug addiction.
The Narcotic Farm was a beautiful residence with sweeping
lawns and a vast garden, appearing like an exclusive country club
to those being admitted. Following the history of the Narcotic
Farm from the 1930s to its demise in the 1970s, it was the core
of the drug research centre as well as a social gathering for jazz
musicians, street hustlers, and drugstore junkies. From what was
a sanctuary to those being beaten on the streets, the Narcotic
Farm soon became a corrupt testing ground for scientists to treat
addicts like their very own guinea pigs.
The Narcotic Farm gives first hand accounts of patients who
have suffered the indignity of being falsely treated by doctors.
The government is exposed as funding novel experiments
involving drugs with volunteer inmates then rewarding them with
heroin at a department in the farm called ‘The Bank’. Startling
pictures, revealing film clips, and newspapers and government
documents divulge the travesties. The stories of actual patients,
doctors, and guards disclose the disquieting truths that went
on behind the quaint country doors. TN

A NORMAL LIFE PLEASE [FUTSU NO SHIGOTO GA SHITAI]
Video activist Tokachi Tsuchiya exposes the ugly face of
Japanese industry in this jaw-dropping documentary about truckdriver Nobukazu Kaikura and his struggle with his employers.
A sub-contractor for the Fucox cement haulage company,
Kaikura works a staggering 552 hours a month without benefits
nor sick pay, a regime that barely affords him time to wash or eat
and which is driving him towards an early grave. Following a fatal
accident involving another driver and two innocent bystanders,
refused sick leave by his employers, Kaikura is encouraged to
join his workers union, an act that pits him against his company
and their ‘associate’ Mitsuo Kudo, a dubious character with
a snarl, tattoos, and an entourage of hired thugs.
A Normal Life Please examines the repercussions of the
Japanese government’s steps to relax labour regulations since
the 1990s under the pretext of increased competition in the global
market. As a result, there are now more than 16 million irregular
workers in Japan employed under rapidly worsening conditions.
Most have no idea of the basic rights available to them. Will
justice prevail as Kaikura and his fellow union members take
on the company and the yakuza in a battle in which the camera
is the most powerful weapon? JS

THE PHILOSOPHER KINGS
WEDNESDAY 7 OCTOBER AT 4:15PM + FRIDAY 9 OCTOBER AT 3:15PM
The Philosopher Kings is an intimate account of the stories,
anecdotes and lifetimes of a handful of custodians working
in leading universities in America. Filmmakers Patrick Shen
(director) and Greg Bennick (producer) follow up from the highly
acclaimed Flight from Death: The Quest for Immortality.
What seems most fascinating with their work is the incredible
subtlety with which they approach their subjects. Masterfully
edited, shot and orchestrated, The Philosopher Kings is a
captivating piece that challenges our basic perceptions and
prejudices, but also, and most unexpectedly, delivers a revealing
insight into a range of stories, each and everyone gripping
and contagiously mouth-watering.
One janitor, for instance, discusses his story of being left
for dead in Vietnam, whilst others recall their failed relationships.
Making a point of emphasising that the custodians are rarely
considered, Shen’s film offers something more enlightening than
just a simple account of tales. Through revealing insights into the
experiences of five custodians, we discover workers who are not
only comfortable in the roles, but tremendously happy, and the
Philosopher Kings doesn’t only teach us about ill-perceptions,
but about how we could live our own lives. CDB

PLANEAT: HOW TO FEED A PLANET
Recent scientific investigations have increasingly suggested that
simple changes in diet could turn off major diseases and, most
shockingly cancer. In an age of documentaries that challenge
social mores, Planeat is a compelling investigation.
British filmmakers Shelley Davies and Or Shlomi conduct their
research into an emerging pattern in dietary related illnesses, one
which suggests that dairy products may be a cause of prevalent
diseases or illnesses. Through a gastronomic enquiry, and through
interviewing figures within the scientific, academic, farming and
catering industries, one corroboration seems evident, all agreeing
that dietary practises and beliefs are generally flawed.
One scientist demonstrates how increasing and decreasing
the animal protein content in lab rats could turn on and off
cancers. Then there’s the ‘detox’ clinics on the US East Coast
who only offer raw fruit and vegetable regimes and whose
customers all share one thing in common: the inexplicable cure
to a string of potentially life threatening diseases.
Planeat touches on a number of baffling and original questions,
and it reflects on the backlash amongst conservative agricultural
economies of America, whose food production impact may
be more devastating than just on the human. EG

PLAYING COLUMBINE: A TRUE STORY OF A VIDEO GAME
When Danny Ledonne discovered a computer program that
makes it easy to construct a video game without any prior
knowledge of programming, he decided to make a game about
one of the most headline grabbing events in recent history –
the Columbine high school massacre. He wanted a game that put
players in the minds of the shooters and went on to make Super
Columbine RPG, where the gamer plays Eric Harris and Dylan
Klebold, re-enacting the massacre and their suicide before pitting
them post death against creatures from the video game, Doom.
In 2005, Ledonne made the game freely available on the
internet where, despite little or no promotion, it instantly attracted
major media attention. Predictably, it garnered much criticism
for its subject matter but the game also had its supporters.
As a way of defending the game, Ledonne went on to make
this documentary where he gives his reasons for creating the
game, alongside discussions of broader issues such as the
media’s demonisation of video games, their potential value
as an artistic medium and issues such as censorship and public
responsibility. He also includes an interview with Slamdance
director, Peter Baxter who defends his decision to pull the game
from the festival’s Guerrilla Gamemaker competition. SB

POPATOPOLIS: HOW TO MAKE A MOVIE IN THREE DAYS
It’s unlikely you’ll have ever heard of Jim Wynorski. He’s directed
and produced over 100 features, most of which unbelievably,
actually make money. Popatopolis follows one of B-movie’s most
notable figures as he embarks on a mission to shoot his latest
edition, ‘The Witches Of Breastwick’, in only three days.
Casting his lead Z-list porn actress in a car park, it’s apparent
from the start that his techniques are somewhat unique. Then,
arriving at the crew and cast accommodation, there are no towels
– and the actors, to say the least, aren’t impressed.
Then there’s the perpetual bulging breasts, ‘Breasts are
the cheapest special effects in this business,’ Jim confesses.
A 25-year veteran of the Hollywood B-movies, Popatopolis
asks from other leading B-movie directors including Troma’s
Lloyd Kaufman and Roger Corman what they think of Wynorski,
and it seems everybody corroborates in their opinion; that despite
his eccentricities, he always gets a movie complete on time and
on budget, something even his overstretched cast and crew seem
to respect. It might go a little far to call him a genius, but there’s
something deliciously tongue-in-cheek and exciting about the
way he shoots and the commitment that goes into making
a commercial feature film in less than a handful of days. EG

SPECIAL WHEN LIT
Pinball is one of America’s biggest obsessions, and in the years
leading to 1970 made more money than the entire film industry
in the country. Special When Lit, directed by ex-computer
graphics and desktop video expert Brett Sullivan, recounts the
history of the game, from its ban by the American government
in the 1940s, to its domination of the entertainment industry
and its near demise to the new era of video games.
It also recounts the stories of its hardcore fans, pinball addicts.
Masterfully shot, Sullivan brings out something nostalgic in his
documentary, it seems at times like an emotional and sensitive
area, with pinball’s fans describing of the game like a relationship,
their faces lighting up as if they were recounting their first kiss.
Special When Lit tells another message, drawing parrallels
with the consumerist and entertainment systems of today’s
youth, often obsessed with Sega, Playstation and Nintendo
video games, encapsulated within less social confines. Showing
an alternative love for a game which brought out a wealth of
memories for many generations, Special When Lit is an absorbing
watch, retracing the passion of pinball followers, but also the sad
dissolution of, what could be described as a certain way of living
and playing. EG

Chet Baker is one of the original jazz icons. It can be argued
that he was at his musical peak when he died in unusual
circumstances in Amsterdam on 13 May 1988. One of the
many things people find fascinating about Chet Baker is his
‘mysterious death’. He fell from the open window of his hotel
room, hitting his head on the concrete sidewalk two floors below.
Perhaps the only thing that makes it mysterious is that no-one
witnessed it. There appeared to be no struggle in his hotel room,
the door was locked from the inside and there was no planned
suicide. Perhaps it was just an unfortunate accident in that he
simply fell off out of the window. These are imaginary elusive
fragments of a fading icon, featuring his signature song ‘My
Funny Valentine’.

problems. Yet a robot programmed with artistic temperament
is rarely the solution. Director Jackie Smessaert-Breinan

a dash of Tijuana Brass and you’ve got gold, I tell ya, pure gold!’

An insight into the exhilarating life and cutting wit of lyricist
Fran Landesman. She reminisces with husband Jay about their
extraordinary lives and encounters that shaped her as a writer.
Fran Landesman, the acclaimed lyricist and poet, grew up in
the Upper West Side of New York during the turbulent yet wild
early days of bebop. She began her career in fashion and hung
out in Greenwich Village. It was there that she met her future
husband Jay Landesman, who was swiftly becoming the cultural
pioneer and bohemian trendsetter for the Beat Movement of
the ’40s and ’50s. He was the publisher and editor in New York
of the provocative Neurotica magazine – the first to print the
works of Kerouac and Ginsberg. Fran was equally a pioneer. As
a lyricist she translated TS Eliot’s phrase ‘April is the cruelest
month’ into hip language so that ‘Spring can really hang you up
the most’. They moved to St Louis and opened what has become
the hippest night spot in the midwest – the legendary Crystal
Palace. This place inspired some of the most innovative cabaret
and comedy performers of its era, including performers such as
Lenny Bruce and Woody Allen. This was a successful venture,
attracting big showbusiness names while still producing avant
garde theatre. They set the scene. In 1964 the Landesmans
moved to London, where they seamlessly happened to be with

laureate of lovers and losers – her songs are the secret diaries
of the desperate and the decadent.
