IFFR 2002

Ludi Boeken

Farcical satire on the media. Desperate film-maker makes a fake interview with Britney Spears with the aid of the transvestite Robert Stephens; winner of the Britney Spears look-alike contest.

Looking Glass

Britney Baby - One More Time

Peter Bogdanovich

A murder mystery based on (some) true events in the Hollywood elite of the 1920s. With a nice Charlie Chaplin, but an even nicer Marion Davies (a sparkling role by Kirsten Dunst).

The Cat's Meow

Věra Chytilová

Committed film-maker fights many quarrels and setbacks while filming on a nudist beach. The most naked film of the festival.

Expulsion from Paradise

Henry Jaglom

Stylish satire on the film business that is held together by false promises, false pretexts and false loves. An entertaining glimpse behind the scenes of the Cannes festival.

Festival in Cannes

Douglas Underdahl

Douglas Leif Underdahl

Light-hearted descriptions of the experiences of five very different film-school students. About film, but also about boys and girls, birds and bees.

Film School Confidential

Richard Glatzer

Wash West

Young unemployed cameraman falls in love with the star of a gay-porn flick. He gets very intimate with the star, but his hopes of love remain in vain.

The Fluffer

Suwa Nobuhiro

Béatrice Dalle stars as herself in a film of filming the Japanese re-make of Hiroshima mon Amour. Successful portrayal of an impossible attempt.

H-Story

Mike Figgis

Ingenious film about making a film. An international film group goes down squabbling in a beautiful Venetian hotel. With slightly cannibalistic tendencies and many cameos.

Hotel

Griffin Dunne

Comic fake documentary about a nameless actress who will do anything to make her name. The film-maker hopes to record the moment of the great breakthrough.

Lisa Picard is Famous

François Truffaut

Of all films with a film in a film, this is the film of films. Classic satire on life, work and loving on a film set. Naturally with Jean-Pierre Léaud.

La nuit américaine

Hans-Christoph Blumenberg

In a black &amp; white world, cartoonesque characters take up arms against nonsensical aliens. Topical satire on the battle for the ratings in the form of a 1950s science-fiction B-movie.

Planet der Kannibalen

Bertrand Bonello

Ageing ex-porn film-maker makes one more attempt in today's high-speed porn business. With a few moments of explicit sex, but especially a fantastic Jean-Pierre Léaud as nostalgic pornographer.

Le pornographe

Philippe Garrel

A film about film. A film maker wants to come to terms with the drugs death of his wife by making a film about her addiction. As a warning. At the moment when he accepts a job smuggling heroin to finance the film, the actress who plays his wife also becomes addicted. A sad film in equally sad black &amp; white about the fatality of addiction.

Sauvage innocence

Elias Merhige

Clever and comic satire on the making of the vampire film of all vampire films, Nosferatu by F. W. Murnau. The ambitious director hires a real vampire to play the lead. The side effect are however a little too realistic.

Shadow of the Vampire

Todd Solondz

Two for the price of one. Part 1: girl publishes lovemaking with teacher as a literary story. Part 2: failed actor makes a documentary about a failed family. Black humour by the maker of Happiness.
