    Doesn’t look too exciting. I don’t know most of these names. Would like to see the Wiseman film though.

  • filmcapsule

    Ross McElwee has a new film?! Yes!

  • msmichel

    Whit Stillman!!!!!!!!!!!

    Metropolitan and Last Days of Disco were so great. Gave up on him ever coming back.

  • David Phelps

    “Hermitage (Carmelo Bene, 1967)”

    Restoration?

  • Daniel Kasman

    Here’s hoping…do you know anything else in that section, David?

  • David Phelps

    Nothing. Marie-Pierre, are you out there?

  • David Ehrenstein

    The new Garrel is his first color film since “J’entend plus le Guitaire.” His DP is Willy Kurant (“Masculine Feminine,” “Le Depart,” “The Immortal Story,” “Pootie Tang”)

  • Kurt Walker

    NICHOLAS RAY – WE CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN [NEW RECONSTRUCTED AND RESTORED VERSION] [NICHOLAS RAY 1911-2011]
    USA, 93’
    Nicholas Ray, Tom Farrell, Jill Gannon, Jane Heymann

    :D

    Also, I think the new Ferrara is called 4:44 Last Day on Earth. Very exciting lineup, I do hope TinTin gets added soon!

  • Nicole B

    Garrel, Polanski, Cronenberg, Sokurov, Sono, Ferrara, McQueen, Hui, Arnold, Akerman, Olmi, Stillman, Demme, Karmakar? That’s plenty to be excited about already. How can anyone in his right mind not know who these people are?

    Far more exciting than Cannes.

  • Bobby Wise

    I guess I’m in my right mind then (whew!), because I know 10 of the names you listed. Maybe I was paying attention to an old list that wasn’t yet updated. It seems fuller now. Anyway, I’m no expert on international contemporary cinema. So don’t use me as a measuring stick. Even though I know 10 of those names it doesn’t mean I’ve seen films by all of them.

  • Daniel Kasman

    Yes, all due credit to Bobby, most of the names Nicole mentioned were officially announced today, which is when the listing was updated. Bobby commented when only the Venice Days program was confirmed.
