An early taste of the International
Film Festival
A preview…
an early launch and a film not to be missed!
Come and check out THE
SQUARE - Oscar nominated film (Best Foreign Language) and Winner of the
Palme d’Or at 2017 Cannes Film Festival - on Saturday 24 March at
5:30pm. It is an early taster of what will be on offer at the annual
Armidale International Film Festival which is held on first weekend of
August.
THE SQUARE is both outlandishly funny
and a biting satire on the world of modern contemporary art. With a
stellar cast, including Elizabeth Moss (The Handmaiden) as an American
journalist and Dominic West (The Wire) as a visiting artist, it centres on a
dashing museum curator (Claes Bang) and his dysfunctional institution.
But it is much, much more. Provocative, challenging, at times
uncomfortable and disturbing to watch, the film also raises moral questions
about marketing, the media, performance art and the cultural elite. Its
fearless director, Ruben Ostlund (Force majeure), gradually but relentlessly
exposes the fragility of culture and sophistication that refined middle-class
humans surround themselves with and ultimately reveals their public selves in
juxtaposition with their private, animal natures. You will talk about it
for days.

International Film Festival. The
