  THE STRANGE LITTLE CAT  August 1, 2014
THE STRANGE LITTLE CAT has been captivating audiences since its premiere at the 2013 Berlin Film Festival. The film also played Cannes, Toronto, the Viennale, and most recently had its U.S. premiere this spring at the 43rd New Directors/New Films festival, where it delighted audiences with its quiet, cozy, and comedic portrait of the comings and goings of various members of a German family and the wondrous world of their everyday. The film will be released theatrically for a one-week exclusive run at the Film Society of Lincoln Center on Friday, August  1.  In the hands of masters like Jacques Tati, Lucrecia Martel, and Chantal Akerman, cinema that at first appears to merely observe and record is in fact masking intricately constructed commentaries, built from seemingly mundane experiences. In the case of The Strange Little Cat, an extended family-dinner gathering becomes an exquisitely layered confection ready for writer-director Ramon Zürcher’s razor-sharp slicing. A mother desperately trying not to implode and her youngest daughter who explodes constantly form poles between which sons and daughters, aunts and uncles, cats and cousins weave in and around each other in the tight domestic space of a middle-class Berlin flat. Fans of Béla Tarr and Franz Kafka will find much to love, as will devotees of The Berlin School, of which this film represents a third-generation evolution. Ramon Zürcher’s new film was produced by his brother Silvan Zürcher, Johanna Bergel, and German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB). A KimStim Films release.

A searing study of denial, deception, and self-delusion, AFTER is also a powerful portrait of the lengths we go to protect those we love. 

AFTER is Pieter Gaspersz’s directorial debut and was written by Sabrina Gennarino. Gaspersz and Gennarino also produced the film. With editing by three-time Oscar ® nominee William Steinkamp and music by three-time Emmy ® winner Jeff Beal. 


  THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY  August 8, 2014
The Hundred-Foot Journey Movie PosterIn “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of it. Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate into a heated battle between the two establishments until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine — and for Madame Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) — combine with his mysteriously-delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Madame Mallory cannot ignore. At first Madame Mallory's culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan's gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.

“The Hundred-Foot Journey” abounds with flavors that burst across the tongue. A stimulating triumph over exile, blossoming with passion and heart, it is a portrayal of two worlds colliding and one young man’s drive to find the comfort of home, in every pot, wherever he may be.
