Saturday\u2019s morning discussion was with director Barbet Schroeder<\/b>. After the discussion the School screened Schroeder\u2019s Ma\u00eetresse <\/i>(1976). Starring the wonderful Bulle Ogier <\/b>as a dominatrix, the film shocked audiences when it was originally released.<\/p>\n
Olaf M\u00f6ller\u2019s <\/b>series of football films continued at the Small Tent with a screening of Substitute<\/i>, the story of French player Vikash Dorasoo. Instead of being a glossy hero story, the film documents the brutal reality behind the scenes of the sport. Dhorasoo was left on the benches in the 2004 World Cup, and bitterly spills out his disappointment in front of a handheld camera.<\/p>\n
The football theme continued with the festival\u2019s traditional football match. The teams Midnightsun<\/i> and Terrestrials <\/i>met on the Sodankyl\u00e4 sports field. The teams consisted of the festival staff and guests.<\/p>\n
This years series of accompanied silent films at the Big Tent culminated with the Hitchcock classic The Ring<\/i>. The audience got to enjoy the complex and precisely timed sound scape created by Kossi<\/b>, Becker<\/b> and Albrechtsen<\/b>. The tent bursted with spontaneous laughter and the applause at the end was deafeningly loud.<\/p>\n
Author Kjell West\u00f6\u2019s<\/b> Carte Blanche<\/i> choice for Saturday was the lesser known Coen brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis<\/i>. Set in West\u00f6\u2019s birth-year, the film\u2019s protagonist is a down-on-his-luck folk singer who is easily relatable for any artist, including West\u00f6 himself.<\/p>\n
