CFF Rewind to 1984 - PARIS, TEXAS

Wim Wenders attended CFF8 to present PARIS, TEXAS in 1984. Just weeks after it had won the Palme d’Or at Cannes.


With his outsider’s view of America, Wim Wenders transforms PARIS, TEXAS into a haunting tale of loss, redemption and the ties that bind families together, and is arguably Wenders’ greatest achievement.


Travis Henderson (Harry Dean Stanton) walks out of the desert after four years, to the amazement of his brother, Walt (Dean Stockwell).  Reunited with Hunter, his seven-year- old son, Travis decides that they should search for his ex-wife (Nastassja Kinski) so that they can be a family once again.

CFF Rewind to 2016 - LETTERS FROM BAGHDAD

Directors Zeva Oelbaum and Sabine Krayenbuhl presented LETTERS FROM BAGHDAD to two packed screenings at CFF 36 in 2016.


LETTERS FROM BAGHDAD is the story of a true original—Gertrude Bell—sometimes called the “female” Lawrence of Arabia.


Voiced and executive produced by Academy award winning actor Tilda Swinton, the documentary tells the dramatic story of this British spy, explorer and political powerhouse. Bell traveled widely in Arabia before being recruited by British military intelligence to help draw the borders of Iraq after WWI.

Still to be REWOUND

In June REWIND to a 1984 cult classic with a star making performance from Vincent Cassel, LA HAINE.


July is Camera Catalonia month with a REWIND to CFF32 for BLACK BREAD (more Catalan titles to be added soon) while Festival favourite Lynne Ramsay is once again in focus in August with the powerful YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE.


Impossible projects are the focus in September with the fascinating documentary AN IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT and the Werner Herzog masterpiece FITZCARRALDO taking centre stage.


The October REWIND is Andrey Zvyagintsev's LOVELESS.
