Leeds International Film festival

A reminder that the full cultural force of the Leeds International Film Festival swings into operation this week (Nov 2nd - 12th)
Festival Website at http://www.leedsfilm.com/
Especially check out Lumen's Devotional Cinema strand in the festival which promises to be very good indeed - http://www.leedsfilm.com/2006/liff/show/strand/Devotional_Cinema


The Devotional Cinema section of the Film Festival presents rare moments in film, moments where our senses and psyche are united and the ritual of cinema feels to be lifted into a spiritual dimension. Inspired by the writings of US avant-garde filmmaker Nathaniel Dorsky, the programme presents exquisitely crafted films that move through time with poetry and grace, and balance sensitively between our experience of the world and the infinite depth and luminosity of the screen.
The first half of the series presents six essential features including Into Great Silence, Philip Groning's new meditation on monastic life in the Grande Chartreuse; Ordet, Carl Dreyer's rarely screened masterpiece about faith and compassion; Diary of a Country Priest, Robert Bresson's pure and exacting story of a new priest's struggle with his own belief; and films by Michelangelo Antonioni, Yasujiro Ozu and Kim Ki-duk. The Devotional Cinema section continues with a carefully selected programme of avant -garde film, including the ravishing, complex and rarely screened work of Gregory Markopoulos; Nathaniel Dorsky's sublime meditations on the everyday; Jonas Mekas' intimate and monumental diary films; and other key works by Stan Brakhage, Phil Solomon and Jack Chambers.
