How do you advertise the most gruesome act of violence? By making sure the campaign carries soft whites. Camped out in front of the Carlton hotel we find Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones (missing an S in this pic). Alice Sebold's best-selling novel is a heartbreaking tale narrated by a 14-year old girl -- after she has been raped and murdered. From heaven, she observes her shattered family's attempt to heal, as a detective tries to solve the case and as her killer moves along his demented path.
"Thanks to Chang's unique ancestry, he has been able to gain the trust of his foreign subjects, presenting Chinese culture with an unfiltered view from a first world perspective. Adhering boxing as a backdrop, he has painted an inspiring and captivating impression of perseverance in the face of overwhelming adversity with great respect for the admirable coaches that instill life shaping values in their young students. China Heavyweight is a brilliant sophomore feature that proves Chang is a highly talented director who produces documentaries that transmit both authenticity and technical artistry."
Brit Daniel Mulloy is an award-winning short filmmaker (over 80 fest awards folks) who belongs to both the extended Sundance filmmaking family and a celluloid loving family of his own -- we've featured his sister Lucy and her debut film, Una Noche which is headed off to Berlin next month. We've been keeping tabs on the helmer since 2006's "Antonio’s Breakfast," and it was last year where I got to speak to Mulloy about what should be the last of a string of shorts, before he embarks on the feature filmmaking portion of his career.
Berlin: an exciting, cosmopolitan cultural hub that never ceases to attract artists from around the world. A diverse cultural scene, a critical public and an audience of film-lovers characterise the city. In the middle of it all, the Berlinale: a great cultural event and one of the most important dates for the international film industry. Around 300,000 sold tickets, more than 19,000 professional visitors from 115 countries, including 4,000 journalists: art, glamour, parties and business are all inseparably linked at the Berlinale.
