Fronton

Short movie by Aixalà and Marcel.lí about the adventures of a shepherd from Navarre who wants to go to the Moon.

Frontón, a shepherd from Navarre, tries to reach the Moon. His journey takes him through strange and dreamlike places. On his wanderings he meets a woman called Lax who dominates him psychically and sexually. Plo, a naive shepherdess completes the love triangle. In the end, Fronton reaches the moon by being born from the body of his new mother, Lax.
Fronton is 20 minutes long and was shot in 35mm. It was filmed in Navarre in December 1992 after extensive fieldwork in the area. The project originally came about thanks to a grant from the Department of Culture of the Navarre local government. It was awarded to the team made up of Ana Zabalegui, Dani Nicolay and Marcel.lÌ for a documentary project.
However, the creative process transformed the original content of the project into a narrative fiction. This relates a series of conflicting situations confronting the local Navarre traditions with the hedonism of the femme fatale Lax. The film was not very well received by the Department of Culture of Navarre, which explains the absence of their logo in the credits for the producers.
The film was shown in many festivals and it won the main award in the Festival Etrange in Paris 1993. The film was published in a compilation in France by L'Etrange Festival&Malta under the title "10 ans d'Ètranges courts metrages".

 ULTRAFREAKED FILTH!

"Ladies and Gentleman, the Fabulous Stains"

Some movies just stumble towards cult, mythic status; Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains is one of those magnificent accidents. Besides in-fighting, the few previews shown to the public were unanimously panned, Paramount was at a loss as to how to market it, and the movie had never been available on DVD (or VHS, for that matter). This has just compounded its status as a "lost" film, with the few people who have seen it being evangelical in their gossip about this pseudo punk 'n' roll documentary. Now that it’s here, was it worth the wait? Does it hold up over time? You bet it does. Orphaned girls (Diane Lane, Marin Kanter) along with their cousin (Laura Dern) channel their frustration into a band, The Stains. After a few gigs, the media picks up what they consider a novelty. This leads to a tour with The Looters--idealistic punks from London--and the Metal Corpses (headed by Fee Waybil of the Tubes in a perfectly oblivious performance). Head Looter takes head Stain under his wing, only to become disillusioned as he watches the American media, and by extension American teens, chose popularity over talent (as he sees it). Despite their differing views about how the movie should be handled, both the message of girl empowerment (screenwriter Nancy Dowd) and the idea that all great ideas become co-opted and watered-down (director Lou Adler) resonate throughout the film. The performances, while not uniformly great, work so well within the context of the documentary style that they have their own charm. And Diane Lane, as Stain leader Corinne "Third Degree" Burns, is simply outstanding, simmering with angst that bursts out at all the right points. A young Ray Winstone turns in a fine performance as the lead singer of the Looters, showing both contempt and sensitivity towards the fledgling Stains. Adding to its cult credentials, the rest of the Looters are played by Steve Jones and Paul Cook (Sex Pistols) and Paul Simenon (The Clash). This movie is not only great for any fans of Times Square and Rock 'n' Roll High School, but it’s a great addition to any library of music films in general. --Robert Arambel

I missed 3 days of school to do this movie and had the time of my life!...

I remember meeting and getting the autographs of the Sex Pistols and Clash members who were there...

I signed a contract with Paramount Pictures when the movie was still called "All Washed Up". I never did see it. Actually, when I was in Waikiki, Hawaii a couple of years later, we had been watching "sumo wrestling" on one of their channels and had fallen asleep. When I woke up, the credits to this movie were scrolling by!!!!!

I was soooooo upset about it, because I had never even seen the movie.

For this film not to be available to the public (with the exception of the odd midnight movie crowd) is scandalous!! It's a touchstone for the next twenty years of pop culture.

ab 22h45 (83min.), Macedonia1993, Mazedonisch mit englischen Untertiteln:

Zbogum na dvaesetiot vek

 Goodbye 20th Century" is a unique, surreal and visionary film that's divided into three parts. The film's three stories take place in the future, past and the end of the twentieth century.  It takes its viewers to another dimension. The two directors combine elements of mysticism, gypsy folk lore, sci-fi and surrealism for a bleak and bizarre view of the future. The first part of the film takes place in the 2019. A man is to be executed at gunpoint. Even when repeatedly shot at, the man cannot die. He continues to live. We later learn that he was cursed for having sex with a saint. He was impotent and could only get it up for this woman. The curse causes the town's children to die. He is now forced to go on living. A mysterious immortal prophet tells him a way to break the curse. There is also Lynch like elements such as a crazed green haired joker in the film who looks straight out of a batman comic. I know, it sounds strange. The bizarre costumes and abandoned environment is in a cinematic category of its own. The second part of the film takes place in the 1900's, Where we witness the first incestuous marriage and murder to be caught on camera. And finally, the film dives into the present which is New Years Eve, before the year 2000. A man in a Santa suit goes crazy at a funeral, or is it the family who's crazy along with their coke addicted relatives and farting grandmother.  If you enjoy the films of Jodorowsky, Arrabal, Zulawski and Kusturica, then "Goodbye 20th Century" is for you. 

ca. 00h30 (75min), Ungarn 1980, Ungarisch mit englischen Untertitel:

Habfürdö

Bubblebath is an almost lost classic of hungarian animation.  Enjoy this unique piece of experimental animation. The story in a nutshell: main hero starts to panic just before his marriage, escapes, etc. But this is definitely just an excuse for an animated frenzy.

“Seeing in motion is a philosophy of life.”
In all Kovásznai’s works images swish, paintings, pthotography and graphics jitter and soar. In 1963 he is the first to make a tentative film for adults in an animation filmstudio in Hungary. This way he becomes the enfant terribble of Pannónia Filmstudio. His films pertaining to the world of fine art are all surprising and yet familiar planets in the solar system of filmhistory, graced by the spirit of experimenting, bearing witness to masterful picture-building.
