REVIEW: Exit through the Giftshop
Sunday, March 14th, 2010
The Mysterious street artist/vandal/topic of controversy Banksy opens with his first film, a documentary about an attempted documentary maker. Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant in Los Angeles is a camera obsessive, who through his cousin ‘Invader’, gets gradually more and more involved in the subversive world of street art. Those of you wishing to see Banksy’s face or voice will be disappointed as he’s dubbed over, but the film, rather than being about him, is rather more directed by him, about the original filmmaker as a ‘more interesting character’.

REVIEW: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Saturday, March 13th, 2010
‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is the first of the Millennium trilogy, a big-budget adaptation of a series of books by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson. The story centres on both disgraced journalist Mikael and the violent and troubled young Lisbeth who, through alternate paths, become embroiled in a 40 year old mystery- the disappearance of a young woman. They investigate with an entire extended family of suspects over their shoulders. Needless to say, things get more mysterious as they get more dangerous.

COLUMN: Clarissa Long explains it all
Monday, March 8th, 2010
The enormous Queen’s University with its silent students and swapping those short New York minutes for Belfast hours -
I love New York City. I love walking in a group of hundreds of people, like we’re one great pack of sheep. I love the lights, the ambulances, yes, even the ‘New York Minute’ mentality. So why did I come here to Belfast? I wanted a change of scene. I’m someone who definitely likes being in their comfort zone, but I also think it’s really important to get out sometimes and live a little.

REVIEW: Little Moscow
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Little Moscow (Mala Moskwa) is the opening film of the QFT’s current Polish film festival – Kinoteka On Tour 4. Directed by Waldemar Krzystek, it’s the story of marital infidelity and troubled occupation in Legnica, the Soviet headquarters in Poland between 1945 and 1990, known as ‘Little Moscow’. Wiera (Svetlana Khodchenkova), the beautiful wife of Russian commander Jura (Dmitri Ulyanov), isn’t in Legnica long before she is wooed by Polish officer Michal (Leslaw Zurek). The affair has unfortunate consequences, flying in the face of the awkward Russian-Polish relations, which emphasize acceptance but not fraternization.

REVIEW: How to Become Myself
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Jun Ichikawa’s stunning film launched the QFT Girls on Film festival last night. The festival is a touring programme by the Japan Foundation that promotes contemporary Japanese cinema and sometimes by women in the foreground. The unique collection is only showing in five cinemas during February and March, so it’s a real cinematic treat that the QFT are offering. With more than a modest Filmography in both directing and writing, Jun Ichikawa seems the perfect choice to open with, and the film is one of the most interesting studies of society I’ve seen in a long time.
