FRIDAY 21ST FEBRUARY VOLTA PRESENTATION JAMESON DUBLIN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2014 On 20 December 1909, with help from friends in Trieste, James Joyce opened the Cinematograph Volta Cinema on Mary Street in Dublin. Nearly a century later, in 2007, Jameson Dublin International Film Festival established the Volta Award to recognise individuals who have made a significant contribution to the world of cinema. The Volta Awards have drawn some of the biggest names in film to our shores, including actors like Al Pacino and Martin Sheen, directors such as François Ozon and Paolo Sorrentino, and a host of famous industry names. Last year’s prestigious recipients were composer Ennio Morricone, actor-director Danny DeVito, actor Tim Roth, director Costa-Gavras and writer-director Joss Whedon. We are delighted to welcome Terry Gilliam to Dublin for the presentation of his 2014 Volta Award and a screening of The Zero Theorem. Terry Gilliam, over a forty-year film-making career, has directed a number of visually stunning pictures which have championed the power of imagination and dared cinemagoers to view the world differently. Born near Minneapolis, Minnesota, Gilliam settled in London in the 1960s where he became a member of the Monty Python team, contributing the animations. He co-directed Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) with Terry Jones. He was production designer for Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979), for which he was also actor, writer, and animator. Gilliam’s first outing as sole director was Jabberwocky in 1977, which he then followed with Time Bandits (1981), an anarchic time travel romp featuring Sean Connery and John Cleese. In 1985, Gilliam released his ambitious Brazil, a satirical take on both Britain and America, which was given two Academy Award® nominations (Original Screenplay and Art Direction). This was followed by the sumptuous The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) with John Neville, Robin Williams and Oliver Reed. It gained four Academy Award® nominations. Gilliam made his next three feature films in the United States. The Fisher King (1991), starring Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams, was nominated for five Academy Awards®, and won one for Best Supporting Actress Mercedes Ruehl. Twelve Monkeys (1995) followed, a critically-acclaimed time travel story featuring Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. In 2011 he wrote and directed a 20-minute short film, The Wholly Family, which was awarded The Best Short Film by the European Film Academy. Gilliam made his opera debut the same year at London’s English National Opera, directing The Damnation of Faust by Hector Berlioz. His latest film, The Zero Theorem, screens at JDIFF 2014 (see opposite). 96 BOOK ONLINE AT JDIFF.COM
JAMESON DUBLIN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2014 CINEWORLD GALA FRIDAY 21ST FEBRUARY ‘Frank Kafka is alive and well and making films under the name of Terry Gilliam’ Screen International THE ZERO THEOREM Fri 21 Feb / Cineworld 9 / 9pm / 107 minutes Director: Terry Gilliam 2013 UK/Romania/France Writer: Pat Rushin Cast: Christoph Waltz, David Thewlis, Mélanie Thierry After modern classics Brazil and 12 Monkeys, Terry Gilliam returns with the final part of his dystopian trilogy The Zero Theorem, a colourful, ambitious and intelligent film about an angst-ridden computer programmer tasked with proving the titular theorem, and thereby revealing the meaning of life. Christoph Waltz stars as the put-upon protagonist Qohen Leth, whose quest is supported by charming love interest Mélanie Thierry and hampered by David Thewlis (in a hilarious turn as his supervisor) and Matt Damon as Management, owner of the mysterious Mancom Corporation. Tilda Swinton also pops up as the ebullient and scene-stealing Dr Shrink-Rom, an artificial-intelligence psychiatrist who counsels Waltz from within his computer. Gilliam’s inimitable visual style and unique voice are on full display here, creating a world filled with his trademark Orwellian technology and loud, garish colours. But while The Zero Theorem delivers a biting critique of corporate culture, the satire is tempered by a surprisingly warm and humane core. By turns hilarious and pleasingly bizarre, The Zero Theorem is the work of a unique film-maker and a worthy conclusion to a masterful trilogy.
