We are currently taking a poll to discover what the community would like to watch for the Lander Cinema Club's first film showcase, on Wednesday October 21. The polls will be closed on September 30. To help the decision making process easier we have uploaded the trailers from all the possible choices.
Pan's Labyrinth
Written and directed by Mexican film-maker
Guillermo del Toro.
Pan's Labyrinth takes place in Spain in May and June, 1944, after the
Spanish Civil War, during the
Franquist repression. Also present is the main character Ofelia's fantasy world which centers around an overgrown abandoned
labyrinth.
Koyannisqasti
A 1982 film directed by
Godfrey Reggio with music composed by
Philip Glass and cinematography by
Ron Fricke. The film consists primarily of
slow motion and
time-lapse photography of cities and many natural landscapes across the
United States. The visual
tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. In the
Hopi language, the word
Koyaanisqatsi means "crazy life, life in turmoil, life out of balance, life disintegrating, a state of life that calls for another way of living".
Metropolis
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Wes Anderson's fourth feature length film, released in the
U.S. on
December 25, 2004.
The offbeat comedy stars
Bill Murray as Steve Zissou, an eccentric oceanographer. In this ensemble cast, Steve Zissou sets out to exact revenge on the "jaguar shark" that ate his partner Esteban. Murray's character is both a parody of and homage to
Jacques-Yves Cousteau, to whom the film is dedicated.
