Filmdagar 26-29 februari
PASOLINI WHAT HAS TO BE SAID
”I´m a man from another era”, says Pier Paolo Pasolini in an interview at end of his life. Not all true, but his statement translates his unease and criticism of Western society, more specifically Italian sociaty around 1970.
Pasolini, a man of great complexity, with broad interests and skills, moved from one creative expression to another. Poetry, politics, film making and philosophy, in all areas he choosed for the adequate mean of expression of his visions. Some of his films are among the most discussed, most appreciated and most critizized pieces ever made.
Pasolini had to talk and he talks in natural lyrics, playful erotic and even dark sado-masochistic violence. His work, whatever form choosen, expresses love for the simplicity of the uneducated and traditional peasants and workers, people living their own culture in local regions of Italy. It´s a world breathing Catholic faith and mythology, directness, joy, violence and eroticism. Pasolini gives witness to this popular world being destroyed by the rise of technocratic society, the consumism and the modern media world.
During our Film Days we present three very different pieces. The Gospel according to Matthew, Teorema and Mamma Roma takes place in different times and surroundings. In common they have the intense engagement and longing for life in contrast to conformism and destructive power.

LOVING CAPTIVITY
No movie director has started a career more successfully than Mike Nichols (1931–2014). His first two films are unanimously considered as masterpieces: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) and The Graduate (1967). Both were, each by themselves, groundbreaking accomplishments, fundamental to 1960s cinema, definite classics – not only for formidable acting by Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and debutant Dustin Hoffmann, but also for their novel presentation of a, for its time, provocative substance: hidden terms in love. WAVW displays the broken backstage of a bourgeois marriage, TG demonstrates a trap of desire. Nichols’s courageous treatment of such toxic affairs continued in Carnal Know- ledge (1971), a brutally honest and disarming portrayal of the sexually liberated America of the ’60s. The erotic theme was pushed further later on, in Closer (2004), but by then time had fled Nichols. He was a man of the late ’60s and early ’70s, when so many constraints were loosened but not lost; arguably, he is one of that era’s finest artists. The scheduled films are made with a maximum of expressive freedom. In them, we however meet captivated people – individuals imprisoned in systems like marriage, encapsulated in demanding desire and duty. Sometimes they are aware of their cirumstances and do what they can to endure. The situation is most acute in Catch-22 (1970), a “war comedy” scened in World War II. Its audience is thrown from hilarious jests to naturalistic imagery of bloody hell. The question it puts is this: Can you be sane in a crazy world? Indeed, a catch-22.

FILMKVÄLLAR
Filmer av Debra Granik och bröderna Coen
Debra Granik
Getting close
Debra Granik has a special ability. Her films breathes closeness and profound interest in what is different and put aside in the American – or more generally Western – society. Leaving the well-known, she goes out to find people at the edge, in situations where persistence in love is an urgent need. Her main characters, young girls, find strength in the impossible. Granik makes them speak to us and makes us listen, as she does herself. The girls portraited are living i close realtions. They are, as in the Mike Nichols films captured in their relations.
Debra Granik was born in Washington DC in 1963 and has made only a few longer films. In Winter´s bone 2010, she went to the Missouri Ozark mountains, to poor and desolated people and invited them to contribute in telling their story. Leave no trace made in 2018 enters an other outcast reality. Here the scenery of the forestian and wild northeast USA attracted Granik, making a film with the beauty and sensulity of the natural world in contrast to a hard and bleak modern society.
“It’s a very hard thing for mainstream society to accommodate non-conforming individuals, says Granik in an interview and concludes her view: ”I would say live and let live.”
Bröderna Coen
Commonplace, yet extraordinary
Joel and Ethan Coen, commonly known as the Coen brothers, were born in a Jewish family in the 50s and have gained international fame with films such as The Big Lebowski (1998), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) and No Country for Old Men (2007). As students Joel graduated with a bachelors degree in film and Ethan in philosophy. The brothers direct and produce their films together although up until 2004 Joel received sole credit for
directing and Ethan for producing. Their
perhaps most famous trademarks are their a
bility to tell a simple story in a complex
manner, mixing several already established genres and, to quote them, ”not giving a shit about peoples sensitivities” in their film making. By doing so they manage exposing the simple truths of everyday life and creating a world of believable and often flawed characters that manage to engage the viewer in a humbling and humane way.

Reality Transcended – Three films by Robert Bresson
To manipulate feelings cinema is a strong medium. The plot told with dramatic tension and peaks, acting emphasizing feelings of love or conflict, it all aims at seducing the audience. Beautiful sceneries contribute and not at least a soundtrack that directs the story more than any image. Shots taken from always new camera angles fulfills the variations. The audience should be shrilled and why not? The distractions do have their place. But will they ever satisfy the ones hungry for not only sweets but really nourishing food? To get nourished in the spirit, food for the inner person to live and to be lifted up demands other means.
The repetitions of everyday life can seem monstrously dull. Days comes and goes and life passes by. The films of Robert Bresson make use of the cold reality to create films where the factualities of the everyday is underlined. That is what is in focus, but does not have the last word. Amazingly enough the continous flow of the films has the quality of opening the door to a bigger reality. The small details of actions in everyday life transcends to a spiritual opening. Man´s aspiration to freedom and brotherhood breaks through. The walls of imprisonment of the everyday is torn down by an insisting human presence.
This is a spirituality from below where it isn´t supernatural vision opens reality, no extra sentiments is used to fill the void. It is the harsh reality that counts. The transformation of the human person arrives in the middle of his normal activities, accomplishing his tasks and failing to fulfill the expectations of the surrounding environment.
Is that the end? Finally there is a burst out from the surface of which the everyday life reality is made, the dictatorship of the factual all breaks down. Relief and beauty is all there against a still greyish background.

End of semester two films by Wim Wenders:
Wim Wenders – Poet of the open road
Wenders was born in 1945 into a catholic family living in Düsseldorf. He studied medicine and philosophy until he dropped out and instead moved to Paris in order to become a painter. He was almost obsessed with film and cinema and often watched up to five films a day at the local movie theatre, and later applied to the national film school of France but failed to enter. Despite having been let down, he decided that film making was to be his life’s work back in Germany.In the 1970s, together with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog, Wenders was one of the founding members of the New German Cinema. Today he is perhaps best known for his documentaries but is equally adept at dramas. Because of his reoccurring cinematographer, Robby Müller, Wenders films often feature a particularly impressive visual imagery. Another common trademark is his interest in finding identity in a greater context and the searching for truth in the world that surrounds us, following the journeys of people as they search for themselves.
TORSDAG 28 MARS

Bergman 100 – Fear, revolt, joy – FilmDays 12-16 of September 2018
With his many films and theatre plays Ingmar Bergman, 100 years 2018, stands out as a remarkable director.

Filmklubben presents on these Filmdays three films very different from each others.

19.30 TROLLFLÖJTEN/The magic flute
Ingmar Bergman, Sverige 1974, 92 min
The classic opera by Mozart made alive again through the interpretation of Bergman. In an interesting take where we watch both scene and audience in an attempt to explore the “noble magic of the illusory theater” Bergman creates something new, but still stays true to the original.
Bergman 100- fear, revolt, joy
by Magnus Ingvarson, editor, Lund
Ingmar Bergman was the first to treat existential issues on the silver screen. What Dostoyevsky is to literature, Bergman is to cinema. On his 100th year, Sweden celebrates its greatest artist, and Domino joins in.
As the son of a Lutheran priest, Bergman’s narrative often takes the form of religious doubt, themes of humiliation and, eventually, the search of a dignity within the human spirit, beyond a burdensome notion of God. But as previous discussions in Domino FilmForum have shown, Bergman never really leaves the Christian realm, and his world famous atheism is, on a closer look, not that convincing.
On a psychological level, Bergman depicts the constant, inescapable interplay between layered human masks, put on for protection but causing personal breakdown.
But be not fooled. The play, and indeed even the mask, carries also joy. Fundamentally, Bergman is a man of the theatre, with a loving embrace of all its genres from drama to comedy. This becomes evident not the least in the festive adaptation of The Magic Flute, not to be missed.
Cinematographically, Bergman was daringly innovative. In Summer with Monika (1953), an actor (Harriet Andersson) for the first time in the history of cinema makes eye-contact with the audience. The close-up of the human face is, in Bergman’s view, the true soul of film, and his zooming technique vitalised the intimate co-operation with the actors, which became legendary.
Sawdust and Tinsel and Torment were shot 65 and 74 years ago. They still speak to us. This is to say: Bergman made films in black and white, but we can see the colours.

Att lita på – filmer av Kelly Reichardt
In the films of Kelly Reichardt we meet with people facing exceptional situations where trust is questioned. The storytelling is seemingly minimalist, days passing by with everyday events, but these are standing in front of the dramatic background. Reichardt takes no interest in telling the meaning of the plot: “That goes against everything that I just worked for. So I have no interest in summing it all up. It’s all out there”, as she says in an interview 2014. Life is interesting enough if you stay with it.

The French director Eric Rohmer invites us into the lives of two women on vacation, Pauline and her cousin, Marion.

With its surprisingly funny and natural (and very French) manner in which the characters of the film react to each other it is very easy to get involved and the story becomes almost like a part of your own life. Rohmer shows us that love and relationships, very difficult and complex although both engaging and beautiful.

Filmklubben Sandgatan 8
In Filmklubben Sandgatan 8 we bring together young adults and students to watch and discuss movies at Sandgatan 8. We watch movies which can give a background for reflections, movies which are made with human engagement. We are not looking for movies with “a message” but for movies which approach the world with curiosity and with open eyes.
Good movies can deepen life. There you can find what cannot be explained, man´s and the world’s mysteries. The truth of the Gospel, hidden in the ordinary, can also be found.
In the last years we have seen movies by Andrej Tarkovsky, Robert Bresson, Jim Jarmusch, Hirokaso Ozu, Kore-eda , Erick Rohmer, Ingemar Bergman, Ruben Östlund, Bo Widerberg and others. In that way we´ve been visting many places in the world, Japan and Senegal, USA and Iran, Rumania and France, Burkina Faso and Saudi Arabia. We mix “tougher” and “lighter” movies, Swedish and others – always with English subtitle.

FILM DAYS 2016: THREE FILMS ON THE THEME OF DREAM AND REALITY
Thursday September 23rd
19.15 American Beauty, by Sam Mendes, USA 1999, 117 min
A famous film on a man who fears growing older, losing the hope of true love and not being respected by those who know him best. Lester Burnham, the hero of “American Beauty,” is played by Kevin Spacey as a man who is unloved by his daughter, ignored by his wife and unnecessary at work. “I’ll be dead in a year,” he tells us in almost the first words of the movie. “In a way, I’m dead already.” The movie is the story of his rebellion.
Friday September 23th
16.15 Revolutionary Road, by Sam Mendes, USA 2008, 113 min
”Let´s move to Paris and start a new life”, April one day says to her husband, played by Leonardo DiCapro. And they start realizing their project, which opens unexpected feelings, possibilities and reactions. As in his previous film, Sam Mendes does not tell us what to think or how to react to the story, leaving the interpretations to the spectators.
18.45 Dinner – bring something to share
19.45 The Graduate by Mike Nichols, USA 1967, 106 min
Benjamin is young gradute who does not kow what to do in life, just hat he does not want to live like his middle-class professional parents. He is invited in a relationship with the much older Mrs Robinson and from there it will come many complications. The Graduate is a classic with eternal, undated appeal. It´s easy to feel with Benjamin, his woories and lack of self-confidence. The film includes the famous soundtrack by Sinon&Garfunkle, with songs like Sounds of Silence and Mrs Robinson that elegantly mingles with the story.
Retreats
One or several times each year we gather for a weekend for a retreat lead by a certain theme, e.g. in Rögle, praying, discussing and meditating in silence. One group has also traveled to Gotland for a week in summer sharing life and enjoying collective acitivites.
