LUMI Presents X European Arthouse Cinema Day: Daisies

Queen's Film Theatre · South Belfast · Film
Maybe the New Wave’s most anarchic entry, Věra Chytilová’s absurdist farce follows the misadventures of two brash young women (Ivana Karbanová and Jitka Cerhová). Chosen by our LUMI Programmers in celebration of European Arthouse Cinema Day . Believing the world to be “spoiled,” the women embark on a series of pranks in which nothing—food, clothes, men, war—is taken seriously. Matching her anarchic message with an equally radical aesthetic, director Chytilová, with the close collaboration of cinematographer Jaroslav Kučera, unleashes an optical storm of fluctuating film stocks, kaleidoscopic montages, cartoonish stop-motion cutouts, and surreal costumes designed by co-writer, Ester Krumbachová. The result is Daisies, an aesthetically and politically adventurous film that’s widely considered one of the great works of feminist cinema. LUMI is a free membership scheme for cinemagoers aged 26 or under. Our LUMI programmers are a group of creators who curate, run and host film events for LUMI at QFT. Find out more here .

Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. Filmed over the course of three years, the film captures Holmes as she continues to vehemently maintain her innocence, and evolves into something far stranger, more intimate, and more unpredictable than a conventional documentary. Beginning in 2023, in the 34 days leading up to disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ prison sentence, filmmaker and comedian Nathan Fielder moves into Holmes’ home with her husband, Billy Evans, and their children.

I Play Rocky

Queen's Film Theatre · South Belfast · Film
Featuring a career-making performance from Anthony Ippolito, Peter Farrelly vividly recreates the story of how an unknown named Sylvester Stallone got Rocky produced — and became a superstar. Sylvester (Ippolito) dreams of being an actor, but he grew up poor, shuttled from home to home, and at one point lived on the street. Now in his twenties, the closest he's come to the big screen is acting in a porno and working as an usher. Then he sees Muhammad Ali fight Chuck Wepner, and inspiration hits: in a few fevered days, he writes a screenplay about an underdog boxer who goes the distance. Studio executives love it — but they balk at Sylvester’s stipulation that he play the hero. The production of this ambitious indie film will prove more arduous than anyone could have imagined. Ippolito is supported by a dream cast that includes Tracy Letts, Stephan James, and Oscar nominee Matt Dillon.
