“Testament of Youth” Opens the 28th Leeds International Film Festival

Testament of Youth

Testament of Youth opens the 28th Leeds International Film Festival (LIFF28) on Wednesday 5th November, with very special guests James Kent (director) and Rosie Alison (producer) in attendance. Backed by Screen Yorkshire and filmed primarily in the region, Testament of Youth is the first big screen adaptation of Vera Brittain’s iconic and powerful WW1 memoir. Irrepressible and free-minded, Vera Brittain overcomes the prejudices of her family and hometown to win a scholarship to Oxford. With everything to live for, she falls in love with her brother’s close friend Roland Leighton as they go to university to pursue their literary dreams. But war is looming and everything will change. From award-winning television director James Kent, Testament of Youth stars Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, Dominic West and Emily Watson.

LIFF28’s Opening Night will be a double Yorkshire spectacular of particular interest to fans of the festival’s Fanomenon horror and cult film strand, as we follow Testament of Youth with the World Premiere of The Taking. Two market stall holders’ dreams of opening a tea room are shattered when they fall foul of a sociopathic loan shark in this intense new thriller directed by Dominic Brunt, who will make a special guest appearance along with cast members. Known foremost for his role as Paddy on ITV’s Emmerdale, Brunt is an emerging filmmaking talent with a penchant for suspense.

Catch Me Daddy

Catch Me Daddy and X+Y, two other films which were supported with investment from Screen Yorkshire’s Yorkshire Content Fund also feature at the festival. Cast and crew will be in attendance for Cannes Film Festival selection Catch Me Daddy, a remarkable and visceral chase thriller by Daniel Wolfe (the award-winning director of Plan B’s music videos), in which a girl on the run from her family is hiding out in West Yorkshire when her brother arrives in town with a vicious gang to track her down. British screen favourite Sally Hawkins and Asa Butterfield star in Toronto International Film Festival hit X+Y, about an autistic maths prodigy who begins to experience the world differently under the guidance of an unconventional maths teacher.

Other screenings in LIFF28’s Yorkshire film line-up include Mr Somebody?, about eccentric Huddersfield resident Jake Mangle Wurzel; To Hell With Culture, exploring the life of Yorkshire poet Herbert Read and the Yorkshire Short Film Competition.

LIFF28’s Testament of Youth screening coincides with Remembrance Sunday this coming weekend, and leads an important programme of films and events commemorating the centenary of World War One in the festival’s War on Film programme.

Produce – 2014 Heartland Film Festival Audience Choice Award Winner, Narrative Feature

In St. Matthews, Kentucky, Calvin, a professional baseball player sent to an early retirement due to his panic attacks at the plate, is struggling with the curveball life has thrown him. With his two best friends, he sleepwalks through his days and the challenge of raising his teenager daughter. His life is awakened and invigorated by the most unlikely person – a kid with Down syndrome named Produce who works at the local grocery store.

Calvin slowly loses the chip on his shoulder as he begins to see the world through Produce’s eyes. Family, faith and purpose work their way back into Calvin’s life as their friendship develops. The unlikely pair becomes intertwined in a way that gives Calvin meaning and purpose, ultimately leading to tragedy due to a single decision echoed from Calvin’s past.

Becoming Bulletproof – 2014 Heartland Film Festival Audience Choice Award Winner, Documentary Feature

A.J. Murray, 29, has cerebral palsy and lives with his mother, Cynthia, who takes care of him full-time in their Atlanta home. To their great surprise, A.J., who has always dreamed of acting in films, is invited to participate in a camp designed to help build a community (rather than paid “staff and clients”) to support friendships between people with and without disabilities.

Weaving between 1890s period drama and behind-thescenes realities, this documentary follows A.J. mastering lines, pushing through take after take and showing up in costume on time. As A.J. grapples with these high expectations and grows and gains in spirit, he becomes part of a vibrant community of friends working together to produce a lasting artwork. Through his story we gain a moving vision of what a more inclusive, creative, desegregated world might look like.

Highway to Dhampus – 2014 Heartland Film Festival Best Premiere Award Winner, Narrative Feature

Elizabeth James is in trouble in the tabloids again, and her parents (and publicist) have had enough. In an attempt to turn her image around, she has been sent to Ghandruk, Nepal to do charity work at an isolated orphanage with jaded photographer Colt Morgan in tow. The fastest way to reach Ghandruk is by air, and they are flown by young but accomplished mountain pilot Ajit Thapa, who bristles at Elizabeth’s caustic demeanor. When they reach Ghandruk they meet Laxmi, the beaming head matron of the village’s orphanage, which lies in the shadow of the majestic Mount Machhapuchchhre, or “Fish Tail” mountain.

These four individuals from four different worlds will learn what it means to be charitable, to give and to love, but what unfolds will change their lives forever.

Dukale’s Dream – 2014 Heartland Film Festival Best Premiere Award Winner, Documentary Feature

Actor Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness traveled to Ethiopia in their role as ambassadors for World Vision Australia in 2009. During that visit, they met Dukale, a coffee farmer. Growing up, poverty had deprived Dukale of an education, but he saw an opportunity to create a new future for his family when World Vision offered access to a new kind of economic empowerment. Jackman was so inspired by Dukale’s story, that he made – and kept – a promise to him that is revealed in the film.

WILD Starring Reese Witherspoon Added to Lineup for 2014 Lone Star Film Festival

WILD directed by Jean-Marc Vallée

WILD directed by Jean-Marc Vallée has been added to the lineup for 2014 Lone Star Film Festival. WILD was written by Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Nick Hornby (ABOUT A BOY, AN EDUCATION), directed by Jean-Marc Vallée (DALLAS BUYERS CLUB) and stars Academy Award-winner Reese Witherspoon. It world-premiered earlier this year at the Telluride Film Festival.

A self-destructive woman (Reese Witherspoon) attempts to leave behind her years of drug abuse and reckless sex with a solo, 1,000-mile hike along the Pacific Crest Trail, in this adaptation of Cheryl Strayed’s best-selling memoir from director Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club).

Reese Witherspoon delivers one of the year’s best performances in Wild. Adapted by writer Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy, An Education) from Cheryl Strayed’s bestselling 2012 memoir, director Jean-Marc Vallée’s follow-up to his Oscar-winningDallas Buyers Club is an extraordinary odyssey of loss and self-discovery, powered by Witherspoon’s award-worthy characterization. A dramatization of Strayed’s solo 1,100-mile hike along the Pacific Crest Trail, Wild is at once an epic cinematic experience and a profoundly intimate personal narrative.

Devastated by the death of her mother from cancer in 1991, the twenty-two-year-old Strayed soon spirals into a deeply self-destructive decline that destroys her marriage and leaves her addicted to heroin. Four years later, in a bid to leave her demons behind, she embarks on a life-changing journey. Wild tells the story of that journey, alternating remarkable moments from the novice hiker’s unaccompanied trek with powerful flashbacks of the traumas that triggered her inspiring feat.

Vallée, who is rapidly becoming one of Hollywood’s foremost filmmakers, relates these parallel narratives with a dexterous touch, balancing vivid depictions of Strayed’s gruelling exertions with instances of heartfelt introspection. Hornby’s screenplay, meanwhile, retains the compelling blend of humour and pathos that won Strayed’s book such wide acclaim.

And, then, of course, there’s Witherspoon — a triple threat at this year’s Festival, also appearing in Philippe Falardeau’s The Good Lie and joining us for a live onstage Mavericks conversation. Her portrayal of Cheryl Strayed in Wild is every bit as rich as this astonishing true story deserves. – Toronto International Film Festival –

The LSFF also announced that THE IMITATION GAME will screen with the film’s screenwriter, Graham Moore, in attendance on Wednesday, November 5. THE IMITATION GAME was originally scheduled to screen on Friday, November 7, but has been replaced in that time slot with WILD. These additions complete the Modern Cinema section of the festival.
