Red:Film - Belfast Film Festival
We've picked a couple of choice films from the vast selection that are being shown as part of the Belfast Film Festival. We agreed that it would be a good idea to plug into this instead of the event that was scheduled for monday 12th. Details of meeting and drinks before/after to follow before events. It would be great if we could get to these couple of films as a group but please feel free to organise going to other events, through the facebook red:film group wall. Let's make red:film patrons of Belfast's 10th Film Festival and really take advantage of this opportunity. Maybe at next years we'll be part of it in some way.... who knows? It's good to dream.... Book tickets early to avoid dissappointment please!
Greenberg
Date: Thursday, 22 April 2010
Time: 19:00
Location: Dublin Road Moviehouse
Director Noah Baumbach’s (Screenwriter of Life Aqauatic, Fantastic Mr Fox, The Squid and the Whale) new film. Greenberg (Ben Stiller) is at a crossroads in his life. Out of a job and not too interested in finding one, he agrees to housesit for his younger and more successful brother’s house, thereby getting a free place to stay in Los Angeles.
Once settled in, Greenberg sets out to reconnect with his old friend and former band-mate Ivan (Rhys Ifans). But times have changed, and old friends aren’t necessarily still best friends, so Greenberg finds himself spending more and more time instead with his brother’s personal assistant Florence (Greta Gerwig), an aspiring singer and herself something of a lost soul.
Over the course of several weeks, we watch an uncertain and wonderfully vulnerable courtship play out, and learn how funny, and terribly unpredictable, love in the modern world can be.

Winnebago Man
Date: Tuesday, 27 April 2010
Time: 21:00
Location: QFT
One day, Jack Rebney was working on a corporate video promoting the eponymous American touring vehicle; the Winnebago. Through the following decade, his outtakes become the stuff of legend becoming a phenomenon in the early days of YouTube.
Because of this exposure Rebney became a Salinger-like recluse because of his instant fame. The location and sight of Rebney becames the dream goal of filmmaker Ben Steinbauer.
Winnebago Man quickly starts with the discovery of Jack and everything that follows becomes an entertaining and hilarious rollercoaster ride of bluff and double bluff between filmmaker and subject. The irascible Jack is as angry as his outtakes suggest, a constant performer andconspiracy activist, a challenging friend to the filmmaker and a supposed enemy to the fan. Where will their explosive series of meetings end?
“Winnegabo Man is one of the funniest documentaries ever made.” MICHAEL MOORE
