Recent Posts on The Case for Global Film- LIFF 2019 #3: The Wild Goose Lake (Nan Fang Che Zhan De Ju Hui, China-France 2018) November 14, 2019The Wild Goose Chase was in competition at Cannes in 2019. I think that the Cannes competition place was won because this is a French co-production of the fourth film of writer-director Diao Yinan, a filmmaker who began as a writer for the Sixth Generation director Zhang Yang in the 1990s soon after his graduation […]Roy Stafford
- LIFF 2019 #2: Ghost Tropic (Belgium-Netherlands 2019) November 14, 2019My first screening at this year’s Leeds International Film Festival proved to be a treat. At festivals I tend to choose films that fit with the time I have available rather than choosing specific titles. Whilst this is not necessarily the best way to select viewings, if I had read the synopsis about this film […]nicklacey
- Sorry We Missed You (UK-France-Belgium 2019) November 12, 2019I, Daniel Blake told it how it is in Tory Britain; as does Sorry We Missed You.

- LIFF 2019 #1: One Last Deal (Tuntematon mestari, Finland 2018) November 11, 2019It’s time for the Leeds International Film Festival again and this Finnish film is a solid if low-key drama that doesn’t fall too far into simple feelgood territory. There was something about the production package which seemed vaguely familiar but as I hadn’t researched the film before the screening I didn’t realise that this comes […]Roy Stafford
- The Florida Project (US 2017) November 6, 2019Sean Baker (he co-wrote and directed) manages to get sensational performances from the ‘little rascals’ who live in motels adjacent to Disney World; the title of the film was Disney’s original name for his theme park. The adults are excellent too even though they are mostly inexperienced; Baker apparently found Bria Vinaite on Instagram. Willem […]nicklacey
