like all the best maine film festivals, the camden international film festival presents a unique challenge to a film columnist with a limited word count. the four - day nonfiction film festival, whose 13th season opens on sept. 14 in the midcoast movie havens of camden, rockport and rockland, is a uniquely immersive film experience. apart from the 80 - plus features and short documentaries in this year’s lineup, ciff, as ever, presents festivalgoers with a rich banquet of filmmaker q - and - as, panels of documentary industry professionals and filmmakers, world premieres, maine - centric documentaries, works - in - progress, the occasional secret screening (this year from an unnamed, academy award winner) and, as ciff founder and executive director ben fowlie put it, “the best parties of any festival anywhere. ”

wow, yet again time out trashes a smart, sparky brit film. the magazine seems hate the idea of commercial films aimed at the under 30' s market! i thought it was spot on
hi gamboisthatyou thank you for your review! it' s very useful to us to get feedback and we try to get better every day. the ibiza weekender production was a one time thing and i am sorry to hear that it made you feel uncomfortable. i can assure you that you won' t be seen in the program if you have not signed the consent form handed out by the production company. still, i apologize for the inconvenience. we tried to make it as unobtrusive as possible and made sure that only guests that agreed are shown at the ibiza weekender next january on itv2. i also want to apologize for the security guard. for us it is very important that we have a save hotel and that everyone enjoys his holidays in ibiza, so in general i have to stay that i feel comfortable having security at the hotel. but since in your case you had a bad experience, i' ll talk to the security guards and make sure that in the future they will be more subtle. we want our guests to have a perfect time at our hotel and i' ll do everything possible to guarantee that. the ibiza weekender was a one - time thing and i' ll look into the security guards' attitude. thank you for staying with us and hope you come back to ibiza thomas
this film is terrible, anyone that was into the house scene in 1990 will agree. the music is wrong, the fashion is wrong. in fact everything is wrong. there is such a niche to do a film about this era, and some muppet like chris coghill gets the chance and makes a mockery out of it. someone who lived the scene needs to make a film about this and it could be low budget and be massive (just like it was, no glamour just for the love of the music and scene) also where was the 20 inch bottom jeans and hooded psychedelic tops we all wore. eastern block, afflecks palace, spin inn records, konspiracy club? not going to mention the hacienda because i think chris has read a book about the hac and tried to make a film. losers .
there will also be an opening night after - party at bj’s restaurant and brewhouse in hazard center at 9 p. m. both parties are open to all - access badge members and opening film ticket holders .
the opening night film is poi e: the story of our song. this documentary tells the story of a community that came together to preserve culture and language under the vision of the inspiring soul singer dalvanius prime. the song “poi e, ” which fuses maori tradition and a disco beat, topped the charts in 1984 and went on to becoming new zealand’s unofficial national anthem. the film starts at 7 p. m .
well i' ve just seen it, loved it! i was at primary school when the film is set so no expert on the period by any means, but it felt like they got the period right, what with the music and clothes. but it had a contemporary buzz about it as well. it' s a film that' s been made to just entertain, i think the reviewer kind of missed the point... shame
penned by actor and writer chris coghill, the film is produced by benchmark films / foundation films' ian brady and stephen salter and alliance films' robert walak and executive produced by xavier marchand, david hayman and mark jaffray .

in hong kong, sunday is the one day a week overseas filipino workers get to congregate in the streets to commune, crack jokes, celebrate birthdays, and, every now and then, throw beauty pageants. in the north american premiere of sunday beauty queen, director baby ruth villarama captures the details of play and fantasy between the harsh, thankless labor that so often reminds the women of the families they left behind in the philippines. the film won best picture at the 2016 metro manila film festival official selection .
two decades after the house - music rave scene touched the lives of a generation of young hedonists, the search for a definitive bigscreen tribute continues with the early - 1990s - set “weekender. ” latest low - budget feature from dublin - born karl golden sees a pair of amateur hustlers from manchester graduate from petty thieves to illegal party organizers before falling in with an opportunistic criminal gang. a modest - size nostalgic aud should come along for the ride following the pic’s edinburgh debut, at least in native blighty. attracting a younger generation of club kids to this generic tale will prove more problematic .
prieto has the lush city of new orleans and surroundings to work with, but except for some nice aerial shots of the huey p. long bridge, the film could have been shot anywhere with highways, pedestrian - cluttered streets, and ready - to - bash traffic .
“beyond the darkness” was originally released in 1979 under the original italian title “buio omega” but was released under a number of other names including “the final darkness, ” “buried alive” and “dark holocaust. ” the film still remains highly controversial and is banned in a number of countries .
rivertown film screens zero days — the story of the stuxnet computer virus. this sobering documentary focuses on the spread of computer malware – specifically stuxnet, which the u. s. and israel unleashed to destroy a key part of an iranian nuclear facility. the film asks this question: in a hypercompetitive world, when do we decide not to pursue innovation and hold back for the greater good? after the screening, stay for the talk back with zero days director alex gibney. 8p at the nyack center, 58 depew ave at s broadway .
why give one star based on the trailer! ? just bought the cd which is complied by terry farley no less... .. seems the film has got all the tracks from the trailer... so i' ll defer to mr f' s expertise !
the seventh annual san diego asian film festival spring showcase will be taking over ultrastar at hazard center for eight days with over 20 films from 10 countries. this year’s program is the largest one yet, ranging from socially - minded documentaries to uplifting comedies and award - winning films .
as other reviewers have already pointed out, this film is a million miles away from the rave scene in 1990. the fashion and music are both completely incorrect for the time. how can somebody making a film get the simple things so wrong? chris coghill is a clown. he obviously has no first hand experience of the time and has clearly compiled a film from reading accounts from people who weren' t there either. to add insult to injury his other offering is' spike island'. another film in which he gets things completely wrong. there' s enough material on the internet if you want to see and hear what things were really like in the late 80' s / early 90' s, just don' t rely on any of coghill' s work to paint a true picture. back to the film. not much i can say really. badly acted with a poor plot. the list of mistakes is endless. did the makers not consider watching some videos from the time? watch how the people danced back then. look at the fashion and the hairstyles. sorry, i' m starting to rant again. it' s just so frustrating when someone gets something so simple completely wrong and misleads those who didn' t experience such a great time in british youth culture. do yourself a favour and save 90 minutes of your life by avoiding this rubbish .
i was living in manchester & leeds from 1989 to 1993 (from age 18 to age 22) - i thought this film was a brilliant recreation of that time - some of the tunes came a bit later but the soundtrack was amazing - brought back loads of memories for me and my friend (both in our 40s now !) - jack o' connell plays his part brilliantly right down to the bowl cut hairdo and football gear - i was also part of ibiza' 90 - i feel that this film represents the time just before the rave scene went overground and people started to make huge amounts of money from drugs and ripping people off - anybody who was up north in' 90 and part of this scene will know what i mean - a cracking film - brought a real smile to our faces. freedom to party: )
i' ve just finished watching this film, and it greatly surpassed my expectations that previous reviews / ratings had given. the film is essentially about a group of mates who decide to host a warehouse rave in the early 90' s, realise that they made easy money from partying so continue with it. for a while all goes well until eventually it all gets a bit much for them as fights over drug dealing begin to escalate, with the stress of the situation eventually tearing the characters apart. all in all this film is entertaining to watch, and if you have knowledge of the scene you' ll easily be reminded of some of the best times of your life. as well as entertaining some of the characters were fantastic, i won' t go into detail, but you really can' t help but hate the antagonist, especially as we' ve all had experiences with people like that, thinking they' re better than other people and forgetting what made the party great in the first place. this film isn' t perfect, but definitely worth watching if you enjoyed human traffic, although it is noticeably darker
flynn: we have a film called “tree” that is one of the more remarkable vr experiences i’ve had. no spoilers, but there are a lot of different sensory elements to it — it’s a fully immersive experience of being a 150 - year - old - tree in the rainforest .
chadwick: the collaboration between the festival programming and the forum programming is remarkable. we’re putting together films that have synergies, with q - and - as, where we don’t just slate a film but see the films as part of a larger conversation on the art of the real .
dennis perkins is a freelance writer who lives on the west end with his lovely wife emily, where they watch all the movies ever made. when not digging up stories about the maine film scene, he can be found writing for the av club and elsewhere. the rest of the time, he' s worrying about the red sox .
why chris coghill even attempted this as a film is beyond me. to say it' s a' poor man' s human traffic' or' an account of the rave scene as seen by your great - aunt' are complete understatements. it' s features range from bad acting to badly chosen music (it' s meant to be 1990, and half the tunes are from' 92 onwards) i' m surprised i lasted watching it as long as i did. i put this down to being ill and couldn' t be bothered to move. it' s also a who' s - who of annoying telly actors... i' m surprised coghill didn' t cast himself. imdb say i must write ten lines about this film, but i' m really struggling without swearing. it' s bad... don' t watch it... human traffic made me miss the 90s, if this film was true - to - life it would make me feel like i had missed the 90s .
well i' ve seen it and was thoroughly entertained, its not a documentary on the music as some of these comments seem to want, just a fun journey of two lads who get caught up in the rave / club scene. if you bother to watch the film you' ll see why the (fantastic) music spans a few years! !
our annual celebration of the alt - wonderful world of artist film is crammed with special guests, premieres and discussions. we launch with artist clara casian and musician robin richard’s new collaboration, birdsong – stories from pripyat, featuring footage captured in the famously abandoned ‘ghost city’ adjacent to the chernobyl power plant blended with archive material and unique soundtrack by a live quartet .
a short satisfying romp. deceptively satisfying as the ending is not so. i really got to like the characters and would have hoped for a better resolve, alas the pill bashing, money grubbing, bouncer smashing film came to a very bad ending. fine good - looking believable cast and a great development of the relationships between characters, especially between matt and dylan who i enjoyed watching as a fun boyish pair. there was a lot of good music, pretty girls and heavy drugs which made for an exciting yet hardly novel adventure. i' m not sure if i recommend this film as it' s finalle isn' t really a finalle atall. it' s like a really well built up tune that once fully ascended drops into nothing but a whistle and rolling credits .
sean flynn: there’s been a big growth in terms of artist support programs, like the camden / tfi retreat (in collaboration with the tribeca film institute), and we’ve launched a collaboration with kickstarter and the school of visual arts in new york to help filmmakers of color travel here to connect with those in the industry. just more projects and more support for artists in their creative process .
considering house music’s far - reaching impact, worthwhile film representations have been few and far between. michael winterbottom’s “24 hour party people” (2002), also set in manchester, captured the scene as part of its lively chronicle of seminal record label factory. justin kerrigan’s fondly remembered “human traffic” (1999) eschewed origin - story nostalgia, opting instead for a celebration of a lost weekend in cardiff, wales .
first off, let me say that i' m absolutely shocked that this is rated only 4. 8 / 10. this movie is bloody fantastic. i can guarantee that this will become a cult film in the future the same way requiem for a dream is today. while not without flaws, this movie has so much to offer someone looking for a good time. it starts out with the 2 main characters dillon and matt getting into the uk underground rave scene. they meet up with captain awesome and begin hosting their own raves. that' s when the fun begins. there are so many twists and turns, and epic moments in the film that i won' t spoil anything. give this movie a chance and you may find that you really enjoyed it, a guilty pleasure with a great ending .
also, “heroin (e) ” is a short documentary by elaine sheldon that’s been picked up by netflix about three women on the front lines of the opioid crisis in west virginia. it’s the best film in years on this story, it has parallels to what’s going on in maine, and we’re bringing in front - line leaders in maine for a discussion about the novel conversations and solutions being done already in the state .
on the eighth and final day of the spring showcase, the closeout film will be gook, directed by justin chon (the twilight saga, 21 & over, seoul searching). this asian - american dramedy takes place on april 29, 1992, the day of the los angeles riots. it follows eli and kamilla, two individuals caught between the black - asian divide exacerbated by the mainstream media and the frustrations of poverty .
this film is far better than i expected it to be. i thought it would be ok having read some of the press reviews, but the storyline was far better, the characters interesting, intriguing and you definitely cared what happened to them as it got darker. ok i' ve never been to a rave or taken the drugs, but am of that generation - but have been to plenty of clubs, all night parties etc so think they recreated' the scene' ok. it was very well shot & edited, and some really cool little bits of camera action that take things a bit further on than guy ritchie might do to tie trips abroad etc nicely into the rest of the film. saw it on dvd - reckon they' d be wicked on bluray! anyway well worth buying - i shall be recommending it highly to friends... great soundtrack too !
fowlie: “this is congo” is from a journalist - turned - first - time - filmmaker named daniel mccabe. it’s a complex portrait of the m23 rebellion that is just a remarkable achievement for someone so early in his career. he had incredible access, and it articulates both sides really well in a very cinematic way. mccabe will be here along with his congolese “fixer, ” who had to leave the country due to his participation in the film .
despite o’connell’s natural charisma, increasingly idiotic dylan is hard to care about, while lloyd - hughes’ matt, who briefly narrates, proves an unexceptional point of identification. despite having been apparently inspired by fables from clubland’s rich history, several plot - points fail to convince, while the film lacks the wild energy that might more easily permit instances of “print the legend” embroidering. contributing the most vivid character, and the most persuasively interesting performance, is batt as the quietly menacing john .
i saw this film in the local dvd hire shop and thought' wow' this looks good acid house music, 1990, the guy out of eden lake, it should be good. this film could have been amazing, there were too many anachronisms (the phone box, the bank notes, the vehicles that can be seen on the amsterdam scene and the majority of the soundtrack! notably nakasaki from 1995). the warehouse scenes were poor, no gurners, no sweaters no wide eyed crazy dancers. the costumes could have been better i was expecting acid face t shirts, shell suits, baggy jeans and some curtains or mushroom haircuts. on the plus side i liked dylan' s hair do, the acting was good from the main characters, john the rat and his mob looked the part. younger audiences will probably enjoy this but as someone who was around in 1990 wearing a shell suit and listening to tunes on a walkman i wanted more .
indie studio filmrise quietly dropped a trailer today for a new james franco thriller, the vault, which is set to drop on - demand on september 1. normally this kind of trailer / imminent release date is a one - two punch signifying... bluntly... the movie may not be all that good. but what starts out as a very
been there, done that
- looking film takes a major turn, and i & apos; m extremely here for it. here we go :
i don' t think they nailed the drug scene accurately, but its a cool film none the less. i liked the music and sound track. i liked the venues and different locations. the plot was easy to follow and i didn' t get bored at all. difficult to compete with the original human traffic movie but i collect clubbing movies so i can happily add this one to my movies shelf; -) i don' t really have much more to say about it. i have no idea why i must write 10 lines of review .
fowlie: immersion is what you can have here. with a festival pass, you can bounce from a film to a master class to a reception to a party. it’s one community built up around all this programming, and the pieces are more integrated than ever before. but there’s also a reason why we decided to start the festival in a small town and then grow it — we wanted to provide accessibility. we’re growing larger, and deeper, with more filmmakers and more strands of different types of filmmaking, but we’re still where anyone can plug in — for one or two screenings or for the whole festival — and have a transformative experience .
as far as i, m concerned the film was cool it gave an idea as to how impulsive and mental the seen was whether it be rave, acid hordcare, jungle, it all came from the same thinking of the freedom to party and the music was mad mental and still brings a big gurning grin to my face just thinking and listening to it even now, and whether it be 1988 - 89 or later, cos it was a time when girls stoped dancing round there handbags and when white man found out he could dance lol so... ...... does it really matter on being anal about dates, cos if you can remember then you really was not there .
charming little bit of early 90' s nostalgia that deserves far more than the 3 out of 10 currently being offered up by imdb users. i can only assume that the people giving this film low ratings were not the people who were partying in the early 90' s - if they were they' d be rating it far higher just from the nostalgia perspective. great soundtrack that pretty much corresponded chronologically (except for kendo nagasaki which was a much later track, but hey its a great track so who' s complaining! !). no where near as dark as trainspotting and less schmaltzy than human traffic this is well worth a watch if you are looking for a trip down memory lane or if you fancy an glimpse of how it was .

ok, we' re 40 seconds in and kariya, baby let me love you for tonight, one of the greatest records from this era is playing. this movie is going to be amazing, i can tell... this however is the highlight. the acting starts, if you can call it acting. the characters are pathetic, and it' s not the actors fault as i have looked at their bios on imdb and they have done decent work before, so the fault can only be laid at the feet of the director. the character development stopped and started at loading a stolen cigarette machine into the back of a van. all other characters were ugly, uninteresting, and offered little to no acting skills also and can only think they were friends of the director that had an afternoon spare. after 45 minutes i was struggling to think of a reason not to press stop on the remote. i lived through this era, and not for a second (after the intro) did the movie transport me back. stick with human traffic to see how it should be done .
i was there and this is not what it was like at all, this movie fails to capture the rush of it. poor acting, bad plot & poor choice of music. the reviewer who said it will become a cult classic is having a laugh, maybe he wrote this rubbish. not very original and poorly executed. not worth wasting your time, just watch human traffic. i struggled to stay with it until the end. character relationships and development were not believable, a sorry effort all round. i went in with high hopes but it was very disappointing .
i' m not sure how i come across this movie but i can safely say, it is a must watch. from start to finish its amazing. you follow matt and dillon through highs and lows. i don' t want to spoil it for you so watch it, you wont be disappointed. plus the music is great, makes you want to go out and party! things start off with m + d (matt and dillon) doing what they can to make money with their friend to pay into a rave. m + d then come up with the idea of holding their own rave and thats when the trouble starts but also the good times. you follow their journey from warehouse party kings to the up and coming mass raves in amsterdam but the money comes at a price. anyway, thats all i have to say but like i' ve said, watch it and see for yourself. my favourite movie of all time and a must watch. you will not be disappointed .

plot perks up with the arrival of londoner gary mac (stephen wight), who invites the boys to sunny ibiza to show them what club hedonism is really all about. significant conflict is belatedly introduced in the form of john the rat (ben batt), a local thug who muscles his way into the valhalla operation, driving a wedge between idealistic matt and cocaine - abusing dylan. the gravitational pull of matt’s girlfriend (emily barclay, “in my father’s den”) further tests the pair’s friendship .
tech contributions occasionally betray limited coin, but are strong where it counts in the party scenes, which also benefit from tunes selected by music supervisors ian neil and terry farley, the latter a star dj of the era. budget permitted excursions to both andalucia and amsterdam, helpfully placing the tale in a broader european context .

one of the oldest button - pushing devices in cinema is the endangered child motif; it not only exploits a parent’s worst fears, it also taps into the suppressed anxieties adults may have had as children. spanish director luis prieto (“the disunited states of america, ” “pusher”) and screenwriter knate lee (“x - men: the new mutants”) belabor this concept to ludicrous and bathetic extremes in the seemingly endless (though only 82 minutes long) and listless thriller, “kidnap. ”
karla dyson (halle berry) possesses a very particular set of skills, skills acquired over a very long career, skills that make her a nightmare... . actually, she’s a waitress in a new orleans hash house. but she’s also a mother, a mother utterly devoted to her son frankie (sage correa) as a lengthy opening montage of cooing home movies of his first six years makes amply clear .
nonetheless, dyson’s attentiveness slips for a few moments when they are in the park. she’s distracted by a call from a lawyer informing her that her estranged husband wants to take full custody of the child (it seems he and his new girlfriend don’t think she has the financial wherewithal to match her maternal passion). in that unguarded moment abductors slip away with her son in a battered ’80s mustang and the terrified mother goes in hot pursuit in her minivan .
she’s off to a rough start (she loses her cellphone, otherwise this would be an even shorter movie), but in short order she develops driving expertise that would be the envy of characters in the “fast & furious” franchise. the pursuit is rough on the minivan and on innocent bystanders and on dyson herself, as dust - ups and collisions turn her face into a bloody mask. it won’t do much for the oscar - winning (“monster’s ball, ” 2002) berry’s reputation either, as her many close - ups reveal emotions ranging from tear - stained terror to tear - stained rage to tear - stained determination, repeated as necessary .

as easy as it is to be sidetracked by a mustachioed franco and what i can only describe as a
weird
accent (though nowhere near as weird as his tommy wiseau), the real star here is the big ol & apos; switcheroo this trailer pulls on us halfway through. this ain & apos; t no by - the - numbers heist survival movie. this is a mind - game horror in which franco unleashes a mysterious, otherworldly evil upon the ill - mannered thieves in the basement of his bank. almost everything else in this trailer is indecipherable nonsense, and that & apos; s fine. i can wait .
the vault will be everywhere on september 1, especially in my house. feel free to come over .

“beyond the darkness” follows taxidermist frank wyler as he deals with the death of his beloved fiancée anna völkl who dies suddenly of an illness in the hospital. it is revealed to the audience that she was actually killed via a voodoo doll that was handled by frank’s jealous housekeeper, iris .
frank in his grief stricken state decides it would be a great idea to dig up anna’s body, bring her back to the house, and preserve her to have and to hold forever. while the notion may be romantic and prove love never dies, sleeping beside a corpse is sickness .
firmly planted in the grotesque camp, frank decides to bring random women back to the house and while enjoying time together shows them the preserved lifeless body of anna. unsurprisingly the women panic and frank disposes of them in violent bursts of anger and gore .
the plot is extremely thin and seems to drive toward the repulsive and violent set pieces all with a bizarre underlying sexual tension on display .
“beyond the darkness” is far from a classic in any genre but it is beloved by those who enjoy gorier horror films that go far beyond what many are used to seeing in the theater. the popularity of such exploitation films stretches far and wide .
it should be noted that the soundtrack is incredible and is performed by the prog rock band goblin made famous in other italian horror classics such as “deep red” and “suspria. ”
