THE SWEET HEREAFTER
Atom Egoyan
12:00 | TRISKEL ILLUMINATE
When a small mountain community is devastated by a school bus accident that leaves many of its children dead, the arrival of big-city lawyer Mitchell Stephens (Ian Holm) sparks more pain and division.
As Stephens sets about manipulating the parents into a class-action suit, whilst dealing with his own private trauma of a drug-addicted daughter, one teenage survivor of the accident (Sarah Polley) has to confront a different kind of damage. Guest Curator, Carmel Winters, selected this film for ‘the intricate and subtle connections it makes between public and private grief, personal and collective shame, and how it insinuates opaque links between the physical and metaphysical realms through landscape and weather.’ FC
Carmel Winters will present an extended introduction to the film.

Jacques Demy
13:00 | EVERYMAN
France 91 mins 1964 Subtitled
All the world loves lovers, and in Geneviève and Guy Jacques Demy created two of cinema’s most memorable. There are many reasons
for this. Geneviève and Guy inhabit a world that sears itself on your retina, a happy Edward Hopper world coloured by Mondrian. A musical without spoken dialogue, the film is driven by the exquisite continuous score of the great Michel Legrand, who sadly left us this year. Impossibly handsome they may be, but our young lovers Geneviève (Catherine Deneuve) and Guy (Nino Castelnuovo) have been given a story of real weight, one that will melt the frostiest heart. DOM
