CURE SEANCE PULSE BRIGHT FUTURE TOKYO SONATA
“Kiyoshi Kurosawa is one of the few directors to succeed in what might be the
hardest thing in cinema: transcending existing categories while feeding on their
rhetoric, merging primary, gusty feeling with the most intense thought,
combining impulse with cold abstraction. Characters and concepts, ghosts and
reality, human beings and ideas, all of these you will find in Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s
films. It was the late 1990s. Some of us had discovered, in such and such
festival, a peculiar horror film, and a really terrifying one too, made by some
director with a somehow suspiciously famous surname (can there be another
Kurosawa?). The film was Cure, the weird story of a series of killings, in which
each murder had a different perpetrator and hypnosis played a key part. With
its cold and precise framing, its dark and nerve-racking atmosphere, its
complete rejection of lyricism and the feeling of something both familiar and
utterly strange it conveyed, Cure was indeed a fascinating if slightly scary thing.
Its director was then entering a phase of intensive work. From 1999 to 2003, he
frantically shot one film after the other, thereby building one of the most
important and original works in contemporary cinema…”
Jean-François Rauger, Head of Programming at La Cinémathèque française

The Festival will pay tribute, in his presence, to the Japanese screenwriter and

Kim Jee-woon in 2011, a masterclass will be chaired by KIYOSHI KUROSAWA on
Saturday, March 10, 2012, at 1.00 pm, in the Lexington auditorium, at the CID.

A GLANCE AT THE WORKS OF
PEN-EK RATANARUANG
©2011 Local Color Films All right reserved
TRANSISTOR LOVE STORY INVISIBLE WAVES PLOY
“The conviction that a director is building an ambitious and daring project, that
of a cinema in which Asia wouldn’t be a wide indistinct land, but rather a
territory with unsettled distances and shifting variations.”
It was the day after the release of Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s fifth film, Invisible
Waves, and the Cahiers du cinéma magazine wasn’t mistaken.
Together with Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who had won the Jury Prize at the
Cannes Film Festival for Tropical Malady four years earlier, it was then clear
that we definitely had to count on Pen-ek Ratanaruang, the other rising star in
new Thai cinema. Long before his fellow director’s Palme d’Or - which was to
establish the revival of Thai cinema after its slump in the early 1990s – cinema
festivals around the world, including the Deauville Asian Film Festival, were
already shining the spotlight on this other emblematic director who, from Fun
Bar Karaoke to Ploy, not forgetting Transistor Love Story (selected for the
Directors’ Fortnight in 2002), or Invisible Waves (also selected for the Directors’
Fortnight in 2007), was already making his own peculiar destiny. On the
occasion of the release of Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s latest film next summer, the
Deauville Asian Film Festival is to look back at his work.

Pen-ek Ratanaruang will be back on the Planches to present as a French
premiere his latest feature film: Headshot. The following films will be screened
as a part of this glance at his works:
2006 INVISIBLE WAVES

THE JURY
ELIA SULEIMAN PRESIDENT!
Once again this year, a jury panel made up of distinguished members of the
artistic community will award the Lotus du Meilleur Film (Best Film Prize) and
the Lotus du Jury (Jury Prize) to one of the ten films in competition at the
Deauville Asian Film Festival. After Amos GITAÏ in 2011, the 2012 jury will be
chaired by director, screenwriter and actor Elia SULEIMAN.
©Marcel Hartmann
Elia Suleiman was born on July 28, 1960 in Nazareth. He lived in New York City
from 1981 to 1993, and directed his first two short films there, including
Introduction to the End of an Argument (1990), a film essay which attracted a
lot of attention. Using extracts from TV broadcasts, the editing underlined the
stereotypes used by western films and media in their portrayal of the Arab
world.
Two years later, he met Tunisian producer Ahmed Attia, who was setting up a
collection of short films, The Gulf War…What Next? Elia Suleiman directed one
piece in the collection, Homage by Assassination: “A critical diary about the
Gulf War, one night in New York.” In 1994, the European Commission entrusted
him with the task of creating a Film and Media Department at BirZeit University
in Jerusalem. He kept working as a film director though, shooting his first
fiction feature film, Chronicle of a Disappearance, in 1996.
Suleiman played himself in the film, and introduced with subtly composed
discretion the figure of a character always on the watch, on the look-out,
waiting for an image to come and stir up the bunch of clichés and
commonplaces which “pollute” the media… The film won the Best First Film
Prize at the Venice Film Festival. His next project, commissioned by Arte
Network, was to bring him back to Jerusalem, Nazareth and Ramallah. In The
Arab Dream (1998), “the director was pondering over a way to preserve
aesthetics and creativity in a land undermined by despair and fascism on a daily
basis…” Another film followed, this time commissioned by the Palestinian
National Authority for the Bethlehem 2000 project, aimed at celebrating the
city’s entering into the new millennium: Cyber Palestine, a kind of “parable of
8
our times, in which Mary and Joseph, now a modern-day Palestinian couple,
come back to Gaza and have to live under Israeli occupation”.
Divine Intervention (2002), the first Palestinian film ever to be selected in the
official competition at the Cannes Film Festival, marked Elia Suleiman’s
breakthrough on the international scene: it was awarded the Jury Prize, the
FIPRESCI Prize from the International Federation of Film Critics, and the Best
Foreign Film award at the Rome International Film Festival. The screenplay
looks into the specifics of the political situation in the Middle East, and its
absurd and tragic consequences on the population. Suleiman is often compared
to Buster Keaton for his sense of humour bordering on despair, and to his film
The General in particular, in which the hero has to find her beloved in enemy
territory.
He then made an appearance in Abderrahmane Sissako’s film Bamako. In 2007,
he was among the 35 directors to take part in To Each His Own Cinema, a
collective film celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival. In
2008, he showed in Cannes The Time That Remains, a tale “with
autobiographical overtones, based on four moments in the life of his family,
from 1948 to 2008, in his homeland, Palestine.”
His latest film, Diary of a Beginner, to be released in 2012, is a segment of
another collective project with fellow directors Laurent Cantet, Gaspar Noé,
Benicio del Toro…, called 7 Days in Havana, a contemporary snapshot of the
Cuban capital.

THE COMPETITION
This year, the Deauville Asian Film Festival competition is to offer a selection of

Festival de Cannes in 1998, in the Un Certain Regard section. After trying his
hand at acting in The Red Violin, alongside Samuel L. Jackson and Greta Scacchi,
Wang Xiaoshuai won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival with his fifth
feature film, Beijing Bicycle (2001). Now used to Western film festivals and to

FRENCH DISTRIBUTION | URBAN DISTRIBUTION FRENCH PUBLICITY | LES PIQUANTES
Kanjuro Nomi is an aging samurai who only has a scabbard. With a past that
made him throw away his sword and refuse to fight, he now journeys to
nowhere with Tae, his only daughter. Kanjuro becomes a wanted man for
deserting his lord and is sentenced to the “Thirty-Day Feat”: a formidable task
to restore a smile to the sad prince who has lost his mother. He has thirty days
to complete his assignment and one chance per day. If he succeeds, he walks
free. If he fails, he must commit seppuku, the Japanese ritual suicide by
disembowelment.
HITOSHI MATSUMOTO
A comedian and a director at the same time, Hitoshi Matsumoto started out in
television and has enjoyed enormous popularity in Japan every since. He was
discovered in France in 2007 when his first feature film, Dai-Nipponjin, was
featured at the Directors’ Fortnight. The story of this film revolves around a
man named Daisato with the unique ability to transform into a giant superhero
whenever he receives a high voltage shock. Daisato is a descendant of a longlasting superhero family in Japan.
Matsumoto favors farcical humor, bordering on the absurd. As in his previous
film, Symbol, which was presented at the Deauville Asian Film Festival, and his
third film Saya Zamurai, he brings a new twist, this time, to the classic samurai
period drama.

overtures from an old man, who sacrifices his own comfort to watch over the
boy.
SONTHAR GYAL
Born in 1974 in Tongde in the province of Qinghai (China), in the Tibetan
autonomous region of Hainan, he studied Fine Arts and entered the Beijing
Film Academy. He started to paint in 1994 and made more than fifty paintings
before becoming cinematographer on several documentary films. In 2005, he
worked on the feature film The Silent Holy Stones directed by Pema Tseden

Present-day Thailand is rife with corruption. Tul, a straight-laced cop, is
blackmailed by a powerful politician and framed from a crime he did not
commit. Disillusioned and vengeful, he is soon recruited to become a hitman
for a shadowy group aimed at eliminating those who are above the law. But
one day, Tul is shot in the head during an assignment. He wakes up after a
three-month coma to find that he sees everything upside down, literally.
PEN-EK RATANARUANG
Born in 1962 in Bangkok (Thailand), he studied at the Pratt Institute in New
York, majoring in Art History. He went on to work as a freelance illustrator and
graphic designer. In 1997, he directed his debut feature film, Fun Bar Karaoke,
that broke the mold of Thai cinema. He is nowadays one of the directors who
have helped to reinvent the Thai film industry, looking back at retro Thai pop
culture for inspiration.

their parents’ divorce and Koichi’s only wish is for his family to be reunited.
When he learns that a new bullet train line will soon open, linking the two
towns, he starts to believe that a miracle will take place the moment these new
trains first pass each other at top speed. With help from the adults around him,
Koichi sets out on a journey with a group of friends, each hoping to witness a
miracle that will improve their difficult lives.

FRANCE/JAPAN : ECONOMIC
PERSPECTIVES
Conferences & economic meeting
Friday March 9, 2012
Rely on a major cultural event to encourage economic relations between countries
For four years, the Festival has been adding to its large cultural programme an economic
dimension which aims at encouraging and developing economic relations between France
and Asian countries. These economic meetings, open to the public and primarily organised
for companies developing or wishing to develop their relations with Asia, are carried by
CreActive Place - the Foresight Center of Deauville, a center that helps businesses and
communities to lead foresight works and stay aware of economic and socio-cultural trends.
Each year, the Festival celebrates an Asian country.
After South Korea in 2009, China in 2010 and India in 2011, the 2012 edition of this
economic meeting is dedicated to Japan and stands with the exceptional presence of His
Excellency Ichiro Komatsu, Ambassador of Japan in France, and many economic personalities
and representatives of French and Japanese firms.
During conferences and roundtables, and through the testimony of many business leaders,
the debates endeavor to highlight the economic relationships that are today developed
between Japan, France and Normandy, the specificities of Japanese market and its
evolution, and the opportunities of investments and partnerships between the two
countries.
Since their inception, these economic days encounter a real success and mobilize more and
more participants each year, who come to learn, listen to the experts, interact with each
other, and also enjoy in the evening or through the week end, the screenings and other
meetings of the Deauville Asian Film Festival.

Lucien Barrière Hôtels et Casinos will be hosting the Asian Film Festival in Deauville
for the 14th year running. And, as from the beginning in 1999, our company is proud
to be the event’s loyal partner once again from 7th to 11th March 2012.
Last year South Korean films topped the bill. This year we pay tribute to Japanese
director Kiyoshi Kurosawa via a retrospective of his work presented with the
Cinémathèque Française (film archives), which will be the main theme during the 5
days of projection. All the films were shot in Asia (notably in Thailand and South
Korea) and most of them have never been screened in Europe or internationally.
Every year, through the relationships that Lucien Barrière Hôtels et Casinos builds
during major film events, our company’s commitment is confirmed thanks to Cannes
International Film Festival, Deauville American Film Festival, Dinard British Film
Festival and the famous French César Awards at Fouquet’s in Paris.
The event’s founding partners and generators of connections between the Arts and
the general public assert the desire of a company anchored in values of excellence,
expertise, sharing and opening towards modern ways without which there can be no
artistic or cultural evolution. A desire and commitment that are also visible via the
promotion of young directors’ and producers’ first works chosen and rewarded by the
Diane Barrière Foundation.
Lucien Barrière Hôtels et Casinos was started out in Deauville, and we are
celebrating our 100th anniversary this year and will therefore be proud and delighted
to welcome the festival’s participants and jury.

The Basse-Normandie Region is proud to be an official partner of the Asian Film Festival,
each year it gives the residents of Basse-Normandie a wonderful opportunity to open up to a
part of the world of which we still know little.
A cultural opportunity as the Festival offers feature films rarely shown in France. An
educational opportunity as it targets secondary school students by offering cinema
workshops and the prospect to meet with film directors. Its ticket offering was designed to be
affordable to students and job seekers, and, via the regional Cart’@too programme, to the 15
to 25 year-olds.
An economic opportunity as the Festival focuses for a full day and with the support of the
Region, on conferences and round tables exploring the themes of development and
innovation. This year, the presence of Japan as Guest of Honour will bring emphasis to the
exchanges initiated in 2010 between Basse-Normandie and the Prefecture of Kyoto, leading
up by next summer, to the signing of an agreement for decentralised co-operation in the
areas of economic development, agriculture, innovation and research, culture, and tourism.
As it is already the case with the Region of Fujian in China, Basse-Normandie will continue to
further one of its missions by facilitate contacts between our entrepreneurs, our scientists,
our cultural players and the international markets.
I wish you an enjoyable Festival! And may it contribute towards a deeper understanding of
Asian Culture!

President of the Basse-Normandie Region

High school students in the Deauville Asian film festival
An action supported by the direction régionale des affaires culturelles de BasseNormandie
The Direction régionale des affaires culturelles de Basse-Normandie, devolved
administration of the french Ministry of Culture and Communication, is contributing to
the programmes on the cinema for primary, secondary and high schools organized by
the Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée. These actions enable 25 000

the compulsory film and television teaching for the literary french A levels students
(baccalauréat option L) from six high schools of the region in cooperation with la
Maison de l'Image – a non profit organization supporting films productions in BasseNormandie - and le Café des Images, an art house cinema from Hérouville-SaintClair. Thus those school students can attend workshops with directors, screenwriters,
film editors and discover the various professions which help do the movie making
industry.
For school students, to be involved in such major cultural events as the films festivals
of Deauville, offers many gratifying moments – for exemple sharing the experiences
of a director - which allow them to understand the 7ème Art and how a movie is
made.
The Deauville Asian film festival show the diversity and the richness of the cinema of
an extraordinarily creative continent and invite important movie professionals.
Thanks to the partnership between the french Ministry of Culture and Communication
and the Deauville Asian Film Festival, more than one hundred sixty school students
will discover an aesthetically rich and various cinema. To open themselves in such a
fashion to the world is an extraordinary opportunity.

Press Release
Kiyoshi Kurosawa Retrospective
from March 14 to April 19, 2012
IN THE DIRECTOR’S PRESENCE
In collaboration with
A prolific filmmaker who began with B movies and genre productions, Kiyoshi Kurosawa has built a body of
work that is indisputably personal and regularly honored in the leading international film events. He is
considered to be a true artist of fear and anguish, although he often uses the rules of cinematographic horror
as a prism though which the cultural history and social reality of Japan can be observed. His talented direction
has contributed to making some of the most frightening films ever made. But these films are deep and subtle
philosophical interrogations as much as they are terrifying tales, since Kurosawa has happily been able to free
himself from the constraints of the horror genre, strictly speaking.

Mazda, Official Partner of Deauville’s Asian Film Festival
Saint Germain-en-Laye, March 8th 2012. Mazda is the official partner of the Asian Film
Festival for the next three years (2012 - 2014).
Mazda’s three-year partnership, starting this year, will be especially fitting for this 14th edition
which will have Japan as its main theme. Mazda has, of course, strong Japanese roots and a
very unique history linked to Hiroshima. It is therefore fitting for Mazda to promote Asian
culture to the French public and support the Festival’s development.
In Japan, craftsmanship is irreplaceable, and at Mazda, we are constantly seeking perfection.
Just as the Asian Film Festival rewards new talents, Mazda encourages its engineers to
continue in perfecting their skills. This results in breakthrough technology, such as
SKYACTIV, already available in the new CX-5, which will be presented during the Festival
in Deauville.
Through this partnership, Mazda also wishes to promote values present in Asian culture.
Indeed, attention to detail and emphasis on the aesthetic approaches are also areas which are
particularly important in the Mazda car design process.
As part of this partnership, 12 vehicles will be lent to the Festival for VIP needs.
