Eden is West
(FRANCE/GREECE/ITALY) - Rated M - English Subtitles
Sunday 8 November - 7pm
From Greek director, Costa-Gavras this is perhaps his most personal film. It is in the Aegean Sea that the adventures of Elias (Riccardo Scamarcio) begin. A rusting trawler packed with clandestine men, women and children slowly approaches the bright lights of an emerging shore, and we may not know where they all began but we know where they hope they’re going: the West, an actual as well as mythical place. For Elias this will literally be Eden Club Paradise, the name of the resort at which he wakes up, and his extraordinary journey from there to reach Paris takes him across a microcosm of contemporary Europe. Gavras has crafted an epic story for our times: full of heart, humour and wondrous complexities.
Running Time: 110 minutes

The September Issue
(USA) - Rated PG - Documentary
Sunday 15 November - 7pm
Anne Wintour, the inspiration for Meryl Streep’s character in The Devil Wears Prada, is the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue Magazine for 20 years, and is the most powerful and polarizing figure in fashion. With unprecedented access, filmmaker, R.J. Butler’s film The September Issue does for fashion what he did for politics in The War Room, taking the viewer inside a world they only think they know. Every August a record-breaking number of people can’t wait to get their hands on the September issue of Vogue. The 2007 issue was and remains the biggest ever, weighing over 2kgs, selling 13 million copies, and impacting on the $300-billion global fashion industry more than ay other single publication. An intimate, funny and surprising look at Anna Wintour and her team of larger-than-life editors as they create this must-have Bible of fashion, Butler explores the untouchable glamour of Wintour’s Vogue to reveal the extraordinary passionate people at its heart. He takes us behind the scenes at Fashion Week, to Europe, on shoots and re-shoots, and into closed-door staff meetings, bearing witness to an arduous, entertaining and sometimes emotionally demanding process. At the eye of this annual fashion hurricane is the two-decade relationship between Wintour and Grace Coddington, incomparable Creative Director and fashion genius. They are perfectly matched for the age-old conflict between creator and curator. Through them, we see close-up the delicate creative chemistry it takes to remain at the top of the ever-changing fashion field.
