Special Screening: GOODBYE MOROCCO

Sex, murder, mysterious death and a spooky old legend all come into play, in this complex mystery thriller from writer/director Nadir Moknèche. While the backdrop may well be modern-day Tangiers and Casablanca, there is something engagingly old-fashioned about this murder-mystery as it flits back and forth in its timeline and comes up with a satisfactory conclusion. At the heart of the film is the impressively moody Lubna Azabal as Moroccan woman Dounia Abdallah. She is overseeing construction work on a beachside villa with her boyfriend Dimitri (Rasha Bukvic), when the team of illegal workers uncover a 4th century AD Christian fresco which Dounia and Dimitri realize could be worth a good deal of money. Goodbye Morocco not only dwells on the good old-fashioned love-triangle/murder-mystery, but also makes great play of the superstitions of the Nigerian workers at unearthing the old burial ground. The film which had its world premiere at the Doha Tribeca International Film Festival will be shown in celebration of the “Mois de la Francophone” at Alliance Française.

Special Screening: WHAT TIME IS IT THERE?

For two decades the Malaysian-Taiwanese auteur Tsai Ming-liang has explored spatial, temporal, and psychological displacement in the global city. Here Tsai’s perennial leading man Hsiao-Kang sells his dual time wristwatch to a young woman about to leave Taipei for Paris. Despite the earthly time zones that separate them, they find a connection via memory, ghosts, and—thanks to Truffaut alter ego Jean-Pierre Léaud—the cinema itself.

LE RETOUR at the 2014 Outfest Fusion LGBT People of Color Film Festival

Childhood and adolescence can be bitter pills to swallow, especially when confronting racial identity and gender identity, and climbing up the hill of sexual discovery. These touching, poignant shorts capture the essence of the revelation, evolution and angst of youth as seen through the eyes of precocious girls both small and tall, two confused boys, and a trans teen.

LO'JO's Boston debut

Founded in Angers, France by singer-keyboardist Denis Péan and violinist and kora player Richard Bourreau, Lo’Jo’s musical adventurism is the stuff of legend. The globe-trotting French daredevils have traveled the world for 30 years, playing in remote outposts, soaking up sounds, and founding the annual Festival in the Desert in northern Mali with Tuareg rockers Tinariwen. The six-member band plays funky, dubbed-up chansons laced with a bewildering variety of jazz, pop, reggae, circus, cabaret, klezmer, Roma, West African, and Maghrebian traditions.

Special Screening: STRAY DOGS

Tsai Ming-liang searingly renders the situational and emotional experiences of a homeless family in remote, indifferent Taipei, with a pendant beauty that suggests memory and dream more than actual presence. Highly figurative and enigmatic, the film shuttles its characters between alienating atmospheres where the filmmaker’s languorous treatment of duration, and performances qualifying as almost pure pantomime, hauntingly pose the question: what is next for these human souls?

Paris Day and Night: Photography between the Wars

Between 1918 and 1939, Paris drew a diverse international community of artists and writers who nourished each other’s creativity to produce one of the richest cultural moments of the twentieth century. Photographers were among them, and in a city where social and artistic hierarchies had been unsettled by the war they played a central role in recording and defining a new vision of modern life.

SPECIAL SCREENING: MAUVAIS SANG

Leos Carax made his international breakthrough with this swoon-inducing portrait of love among thieves. In the near future, an aging crime lord (Michel Piccoli) recruits young delinquent Alex (Denis Lavant) to steal a locked-up serum designed to fight a mysterious STD. When Alex falls for his boss’s girlfriend (a radiant Juliette Binoche), Mauvais Sang becomes something rarer: an ecstatic depiction of what it feels like to be young, restless and madly in love. With its balletic gestures and bold primary colors, much of the film plays as if through the eyes of its lovesick protagonist. And it hinges on one of the most thrilling scenes in modern movies: Lavant sprinting and cartwheeling through the Parisian night to David Bowie’s “Modern Love,” a bundle of desires set briefly and wildly free. A Carlotta US release.
