FLM MAG. EXCLUSIVE - Writer/Director Jeffrey Blitz discusses "Rocket Science"

In Rocket Science, I gave Hal Hefner, a bright and deadpan 14-year-old who is the movie’s lead, the precise sort of stutter I grew up with. This choice was not because I wanted to represent my own childhood so perfectly. It’s that I felt my sort of stuttering gave itself to sometimes artful (and sometimes artless), sometimes cunning (and sometimes bland) turns of phrase, and I really wanted Hal’s intelligence… Continue

FLM MAG. EXCLUSIVE - Director Lajos Koltai discusses "Evening"

It was Fateless that led me to Evening. After my life’s work as a cinematographer, Nobel Prize-winner Imre Kertész asked me to direct the story of his days in Auschwitz, an interpretation that above all would preserve linearity in the Holocaust universe. There could be no manipulation of time or exploration of side streets. The story had to be told directly as it was lived: a year of the unknowa… Continue

FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
Leading Specialized Circuit Redefines Art-House Experience

First Snow - by director/co-writer Mark Fergus (FLM Magazine Exclusive Content)

My Auntie Theo, who lived in the hills above Dublin Bay, started my obsession with snow when she gave me James Joyce's short stories on my first trip to Ireland. We are all Irish in our clan, we are so very Irish. And it's that last paragraph of The Dead—my vote for the great short story—that put a splinter in me forever. The snowflakes begin falling, wet and heavy, down on everything living and… Continue

The Page Turner - by director/co-writer Denis Dercourt (FLM MAgazine Exclusive Content)

One thing I have learned: When an actor plays a musician, the first shot must show the hands. It must be a master shot—an uninterrupted sequence with no cuts.
