Lyman 1 hour, 15 minutes ago http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080219/film_nm/polanski_dc ROME (Hollywood Reporter) - Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski, a fugitive from American justice, will be honored at the Turin Film Festival in November. Polanski, 74, won a best director Oscar for 2002's "The Pianist" and received nominations for "Tess" in 1979, "Chinatown" in 1973 and "Rosemary's Baby" from 1968. He fled the United States in 1978 rather than risk serving extended prison time after being convicted of having unlawful sex with a minor. A documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired," suggests he was the victim of a gross miscarriage of justice. Monday's announcement, which precedes the start of the November 21-29 festival by a full nine months, comes on the heels of Polanski's cameo appearance in "Caos Calmo" (Quiet Chaos), which Turin festival artistic director Nanni Moretti co-wrote and starred i... | | Read Entire Entry |

Toronto is a rich, young, and historic city with tons of stuff to do. Whether it has to do with music, film, art, shows, and anything else in the likes of those departments. It is the perfect city to cultivate different ethnicities and backgrounds to bring together a wider audience range for films that are not mainstream friendly or understood. Many high-profile and well-known celebrities, filmmakers, producers, music artists, fashion stylists, designers have graced Toronto with their presence but the lasting impression that Torontonians and the city give to these tourist are always the same: as friendly and captivating as the place and people in it.

From 14th to 24th August silent films - mostly two per night - will be shown open-air in the inner courtyard of Bonn University. The films are always accompanied by Germany's and Europe's top silent film musicians, such as Aljoscha Zimmermann, Günther Buchwald and Joachim Bärenz. The festival is well-established and - as it is free as well! - draws quite a steady crowd even in bad weather! You can tell the regulars by the amount of bivouac equipment they carry. The programme is always a good mixture of German, European and American films. Silent drama normally takes precedence over comedy. New restorations are showcased and the best quality prints are obtained from around the world. This is a big affair under the patronage of, among others, the Munich Film Museum. On the two Sundays there is normally a programme of film lectures in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn, where rare gems are shown to the discerning (and paying) few.

The programme includes a wide range of features and documentaries by directors from Poland, Sweden, Italy and several other countries. Among the highlights of the event is The Cult of the Body, a feature by the prominent Polish director Michal Waszynski dating from 1930. The film is the screen version of Mieczyslaw Srokowski's novel of the same time, which was a literary sensation in the early 20th century because of its erotic content. The book and the film tell the story of a sculptor's love affair with his model. Believed to have been lost, Waszynski's film was discovered several years ago in the Royal Film Archive in Brussels. The screenings of silent film are accompanied by live music performed by groups combining jazz with electronics. The Festival is organized by the Polish Film Archives (Filmoteka Polska).
