When a young woman suspects that her biological father is a man she's never met, her stubborn effort to uncover the truth draws her sister into uncharted waters... Odoul's characteristically elegant direction sets the stage for sterling work from the ensemble cast, which includes Emmanuelle Béart in a star turn as the sozzled, vindictive stepmother. An absorbing drama from one of France's most distinctive filmmakers.NEW PERSPECTIVESUK PREMIEREPostcards from the Zoo (Kebun binatang)Edwin/Indonesia, Germany, Hong Kong, China/2012/96 minCast: Ladya Cheryl, Nicholas Saputra, Adje Nur Ahmad, Klarysa Aurelia RadityaFRI 29 JUNE 20:00 FILMHOUSE 2SUN 1 JULY 15:30 FILMHOUSE 2PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONCS)A charming and unclassifiable work. Instead of a linear narrative, one-named director Edwin uses a gently drifting series of images and episodes to follow the life of a young girl who is abandoned by her father to be brought up in a sprawling zoo in Jakarta. The second half of the film takes a different course as our heroine is lured outside her animal paradise into the more perilous world of humans.DIRECTORS' SHOWCASEUK PREMIERERent-a-Cat(Rentaneko)Naoko Ogigami/Japan/2012/110 minCast: Mikako Ichikawa, Reiko Kusamura, Ken Mitsuishi, Maho Yamada, Kei Tanaka, Katsuya KobayashiFRI 22 JUNE 18:25 CINEWORLDSUN 24 JUNE 14:15 CINEWORLDPRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONCS)This engaging comedy probes the loneliness beneath the decorous surface of contemporary Japan. Every day Sayoko pushes a cart along a river, renting out cats to lonely people in order to fill the empty spaces in their hearts. Somehow Sayoko herself, though she has no trouble attracting felines, has a hard time finding human love. "A film made for cat lovers that will no doubt win over the hearts of anyone who's ever felt a yearning for unconditional companionship" (Patrick Gamble, Cine-Vue).MICHAEL POWELL AWARD COMPETITIONWORLD PREMIEREPusherLuis Prieto/UK/2012/86 minCast: Richard Coyle, Agyness Deyn, Bronson Webb, Mem FerdaTHU 21 JUNE 20:20 CINEWORLDFRI 22 JUNE 21:15 CINEWORLDPRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONCS)A London drugs dealer finds himself on the wrong side of a ruthless Mr Big when a massive deal goes disastrously wrong in Luis Prieto's striking, energetic remake of the 1996 feature that propelled Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson, Drive) into the international spotlight. Revolving around an outstanding lead performance from Richard Coyle (also seen in this year's Grabbers, page 30), the break-neck action underpinned by an atmospheric and rousing original score by Orbital, this is sharp, fast-paced, gripping crime cinema at its very best.20 June - 1 JulyALL ABOUT CINEMA ALL IN ONE PLACEnews . interviews . reviews screenings . gossip . festivalsLIST.CO.UK/FILMGUIDESDAILY FILM FEST NEWSList-banner.indd 130/04/2012 17:05POSTCARDS FROM THE ZOOFeATure FilmS, SHorTS & evenTS

The filmmaker uses testimonies from those who tried to ride the horse and those who witnessed the attempts, together with archival footage in various formats. Through the creative treatment of these materials, the filmmaker generates both a strong narrative momentum and a deep empathy with the proud horse.LOOKING SOUTHRosalinda + Everybody Says Long Live Bobby Holly71 minTHU 21 JUNE 21:45 FILMHOUSE 3FRI 22 JUNE 21:30 FILMHOUSE 3PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONCS)These two short films highlight the richness of recent South American cinema. From one of Argentina's most important new directors, Rosalinda is not only an original meditation on Shakespeare's As You Like It, but a rich and enjoyable work that sustains a brisk comic tempo within a mellow, sunlit atmosphere. Everybody Says Long Live Bobby Holly is an ingenious and farcical fake rockumentary chronicling the achievements of an unknown giant of Uruguayan music.Edinburgh International Film Festival 2012Proud supporters of the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2012www.line.uk.comFeATure FilmS, SHorTS & evenTS
