'Congorama,' 'Volver' tapped for Nouveau fest
MONTREAL -- Montreal's Festival du Nouveau Cinema announced its full lineup Tuesday, with Philippe Falardeau's Congorama set to kick off the festival's milestone 35th edition on Oct. 18. Pedro Almodovar's Volver will close the festival Oct. 26. With a focus on innovation and new media, FNC director Claude Chamberlain unveiled 189 films from 39 countries -- comprising 111 features and 78 shorts -- that run from the somber to the surreal. Included are such dramas as 12:08 East of Bucharest, by Romania's Corneliu Porumboiu, and South Korean filmmaker Chang-ho Cho's The Peter Pan Formula. One sidebar will focus on genre groundbreakers like Tachigui: The Amazing Lives of the Fast-Food Grifters, a film with photo-scan animation from Japan's Mamoru Oshii, and director Satoshi Kon's Paprika, an animated feature that uses more conventional filmmaking techniques.
