Current news of the eighth Beat Film Festival Automatic translate

MOSCOW. At the Beat Film Festival, an independent film forum, a screening of the Grant Jee Zeald Patience tape took place.

The Beat Film Festival, the eighth in a row, traditionally kicked off in the last decade of May. The content of the festival program remains unchanged - documentaries about various aspects of modern culture. Beat Film is a successful project of the Documentary Film Center, which operates on the basis of the Moscow Museum.

The festival’s schedule includes a national competition with the latest innovations in domestic cinema, hits Sundance, BAFTA, CPH: DOX, Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica, Oscar, meetings with directors, lectures, and informal communication. Over the past week, the public got acquainted with the documentary-game Polish film All These Sleepless Nights (winner of Sundance-2016). The hectic life of Warsaw at night, vivid emotions, risky experiments, a love triangle, loneliness. The New Zealand Tickled is a funny story about an absurd contest leading to unexpected conclusions.

The creators team includes writer and actor Stephen Fry. The film Bird on a Wire Toni Palmer (Toni Palmer), dedicated to the tour of Leonard Cohen, was released only this year. The author of films about The Beatles and Stravinsky has been waiting for his release for many years. Faced with the negative attitude of the protagonist, survived the disappearance of the footage, did a gigantic work on his "rebirth from the ashes." German journalist Susanne Meier’s Raving Iran tape is a rare opportunity to “peek” at underground rave parties in Tehran. A co-production of Australia and Germany Manifesto is a firework of the reincarnation of Cate Blanchett, who “tried on” the images of 13 diverse characters.

One of the main events of the Beat Film Festival is the screening of Patience: After Sebald by British director Grant Gee. The acquaintance of domestic readers with the German writer and essayist Winfried Georg Zebald (Winfried Georg Maximilian Sebald) took place only in 2006, five years after his tragic death in a car accident. The epithet "great" in relation to the author of philosophical prose and essay does not seem an exaggeration. "Patience" is a successful attempt to film one of the best novels of Zebald "The Rings of Saturn."
