FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL -3- YOUR MOMMY KILLS ANIMALS

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 06:36:06 -0400

FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL 2007 - MONTREAL July 7th Video #3 Film (documentary) : YOUR MOMMY KILLS ANIMALS ------------------------------------------ Did you know that, according to the FBI, America's number-one domestic terrorist threat today is... animal activist groups?! Oscar-winning filmmaker Curt Johnson's incredible indie documentary on America's war on animal activism, activist's wars on irresponsible industry, activist infighting and how the extreme actions of a small minority threaten to destroy the movement for everyone, is one of this year's most important films. As a result of its remarkably even-handed approach, YOUR MOMMY KILLS ANIMALS, which takes its title from the name of a pamphlet that PETA once distributed to children, has already proven to be a confrontational experience for people on either side of the debate. An arsenal of uncomfortable shades of grey are addressed and hypocrisies are explored in all corners. ------------------------------------------- D'après le F.B.I. la menace terroriste domestique numéro un aux États-Unis serait, tenez-vous bien, les activistes pour la protection des animaux! L'un des films les plus importants de l'année nous vient du réalisateur Curt Johnson, déjà récipiendaire d'un Oscar. Voici donc YOUR MOMMY KILLS ANIMALS, un incroyable documentaire sur les activistes et la lutte contre l'activisme en Amérique. Indépendant et impartial quant à son sujet, Johnson nous dévoile toutes les facettes: les combats des activistes contre l'industrie irresponsable, les querelles internes entre groupes activistes, les mesures gouvernementales pour restreindre l'activisme... et ces gestes extrêmes d'une assez petite minorité, risquant néanmoins de détruire le mouvement pour tous les autres. Le titre a été emprunté à un tract jadis distribué aux enfants par la P.E.T.A. D'un côté comme de l'autre, ça fait jaser. Personne n'est tout blanc ou tout noir. Les deux côtés ont leurs torts, leurs hypocrisies; et c'est parce que ce film expl...

FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL 2007 - Video 7 - END OF THE LINE 1/2

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 06:21:00 -0400

FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL 2007 - MONTREAL July 13th Video #7 PART 1 Film : END OF THE LINE Young psychiatric nurse Karen (Ilona Elkin) has had a terrible night at the hospital, dealing with an unusually high volume of panicked schizophrenic admissions, which she writes off to a full moon and a coming lunar eclipse. Heading home on the last train of the night, Karen hears someone's beeper chime. What she doesn't hear is that beepers have gone off simultaneously in every car on the train. Contacted passengers pull out their pagers and turn white with a puzzling mixture of dread, relief and anticipation. Throughout the train, soft mumblings of prayer can be heard. Crucifixes are drawn. Followers grip them tightly at the base, and in a downward motion, they pull the bottoms out of their crosses, unsheathing specially ordained daggers. After final words of blessings, the flock begins to walk car by car, slaughtering everyone in sight. ------------------------------------------- Ilona Elkin interprète la jeune infirmière psychiatrique Karen. Celle-ci vient de vivre une nuit terrible à l'hôpital, traitant un volume exceptionnellement élevé d'admissions de schizophrènes paniqués, qu'elle impute à la pleine lune et à une éclipse imminente. Rentrant chez elle par le dernier train de nuit, Karen entend sonner un téléavertisseur. Ce qu'elle ignore, c'est que tous les téléavertisseurs, dans tous les wagons, sonnent simultanément. Les passagers contactés regardent leurs messages. Puis leurs visages blêmissent. Un mélange d'épouvante, de soulagement, et d'anticipation. Plusieurs marmonnements de prières peuvent être entendus. Des crucifix sont sortis. Ceux qui les tiennent, soudain, tirent sur la base de ces croix, dégainant des dagues sacrificielles. Après quelques ultimes mots de bénédiction, ce troupeau commence à avancer de wagon en wagon, massacrant tous ceux qu'ils croisent. ------------------------------------------- Credits Director: Maurice Deveraux Screenplay: Mauri...
