 The
Artist
Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist is not only
a throw back to the days before people spoke in films;
it almost makes you wonder why we ever added sound in
the first place. Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo shine
as the film's two leads able to say more with a look or
a soft shoe than most of us can in 140 characters. It's
Hollywood in 1927. George Valentin (Dujardin) is a silent
movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound
the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion.
For young extra Peppy Miller (Bejo), it seems the sky's
the limit - major movie stardom awaits. The Artist
tells the story of their interlinked destinies. Filmed
in stunning black-and-white, The Artist takes
us back to a time when men wore suits, women wore hats
and a simple dance could lead to love.
NOMINATED for 10 ACADEMY AWARDS incl
BEST FILM, BEST ACTOR and BEST
DIRECTOR

 Martha
Marcy May Marlene
Martha (Elizabeth Olsen ) is a young woman rapidly unravelling
amidst her attempt to reclaim a normal life after fleeing
from a cult and its charismatic leader (John Hawkes).
Seeking help from her estranged older sister Lucy (Sarah
Paulson) and her brother-in-law (Hugh Dancy), Martha is
unable and unwilling to reveal the truth about her disappearance.
When her memories trigger a chilling paranoia that her
former cult could still be pursuing her, the line between
Martha’s reality and delusion begins to blur. A
powerful psychological thriller.

Launching the 2012 Festival will be DECLARATION
OF WAR (La guerre est déclarée)
a powerful tale selected as France's official submission
for the 2012 Academy Awards. Based on real-life events,
DECLARATION OF WAR is the compelling
tale of a young Parisian couple whose carefree existence
is suddenly shattered by an unexpected twist of fate.
A massive box office success in its native France, this

vivant' in us all! DOWNLOAD
