In 1990 Chile transitioned to democracy, but all of that seems a world away for 16-year-old Sofia, who lives far off the grid in a mountain enclave of artists and bohemians. Too Late to Die Young takes place during the hot, languorous days between Christmas and New Year's, when the troubling realities of the adult world--and the elemental forces of nature--begin to intrude on her teenage idyll. A vivid and sun-splashed portrait of youth--and a country-- on the cusp of exhilarating and terrifying change.

We are all familiar with the pyramid structure of the food chain. Over the last 50 years, though, scientists have pieced together a more nuanced understanding of how ecosystems work and what happens when human development removes "keystone" species -- often predators -- from the picture. The good news: this is reversible. This fascinating doc looks at 5 scientists from different fields finding common patterns of destruction and regeneration.

FRI JUL 12 - 7:30PM ? SAT JUL 13 - 7:15PM TUE JUL 16 - 8:15PM ? THU JUL 18 - 6:30PM

Evoking the desperate defiance of Fish Tank and Ratcatcher, Richard Billingham's deeply personal portrait of working class life in Thatcher's Britain is powerfully etched, grim, funny, and terribly human. Ray and Liz are the filmmaker's parents, and almost grotesquely ill-equipped for the task, yet somehow children survive neglect and abuse, and as this memorable movie proves, live to tell the tale with compassion and poetry. "All hail an instant classic." London Evening Standard

This free screening will be followed by a conversation with the leading advocate for wild salmon, scientist Alexandra Morton.

But there is another kind of bubble, one that allows us to assume this is a unique experience. In fact citizens in cities across North and South America, Europe, and Asia have been priced out of their homes as global investment companies buy up buildings as assets with little or no regard for their occupants. This investigative doc from the director of Bikes vs Cars follows UN Special Rapporteur Leilani Farha as she probes for answers. *Vancity Impact Talk on Friday July 19th

It's a film about appearances and disappearances, about perception, corruption and power... a film about South America in the 70s and about the world today.

The Times of Harvey Milk

ROBERT EPSTEIN, USA, 1984, 88 MIN. PANORAMA

TUE JUL 23 - 7:30PM Winner of the Best Documentary Oscar 1985, this film rings with passion. It isn't just about the brave and influential political career of Harvey Milk, but of the movement in San Francisco in the 1970s to accept the gay community and other minorities as proud equals. The murder of Milk and Mayor Moscone who supported Milk by their ex-colleague Dan White did nothing to suppress Milk's work, which spread across America for decades to come.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Definitive Cut

SERGIO LEONE, ITALY, 1966, 162 MIN. PANORAMA

TUE JUL 9 - 6:30PM

Introduced by filmmakers and Sergio Leone-aficionados Will Ross and Devan Scott, this is the nearest you will get to the definitive director's cut of the Italian's 1966 masterpiece. The third and the best of the so-called `Dollars' trilogy amplifies Leone's baroque style: crane shots, shock cuts and Morricone music all vying for attention as three rogues hunt buried gold in a series of triangular variations.

"The best directed movie of all time." Quentin Tarantino

The Right Stuff

PHILIP KAUFMAN, USA, 1983, 193 MIN. PANORAMA

MON JUL 15 - 1:45PM

Fifty years ago this week, man walked on the moon for the first time. The Right Stuff, released in 1983, is the story of the daring and expertise it took to get there. Based on Tom Wolfe's best-seller, the movie is an idiosyncratic epic about the loner test pilots who became world famous astronauts, a satire on the Space Race, and a reverie for the pioneering spirit.

Introduced by Tom Charity, VIFF Vancity Theatre programmer and author of the book, The Right Stuff (BFI Modern Classics). Tickets $15

Happiness:

Live Cinema by The Little Chamber Music Series That Could

ALEKSANDR MEDVEDKIN, SOVIET UNION, 1935, 65 MIN.

SUN JUL 28 - 7:30PM

Partnering with Mark Haney's The Little Chamber Music Series That Could, VIFF presents a lost classic of silent cinema with a brand new music score, performed live for the first time! Happiness is best known to cinephiles through the efforts of Chris Marker. It is a slapstick cinematic folktale in which a poor, lazy peasant is sent out by his wife, Anna, to find happiness. Unfortunately, his quest is hampered by priests, officials and other freeloaders along the way.

Vigil

VINCENT WARD, NEW ZEALAND, 1984, 90 MIN. PANORAMA

FRI JUL 19 - 9:30PM ? SUN JUL 21 - 3:00PM

The debut feature from Vincent Ward -- the Wizard of NZ --is an eye-opening tale of a young girl on a remote farm, and the interloper who comes in to help after the death of her dad, who she suspects may be the devil. The narrative is spare but layered with symbolism - what sets Vigil apart is the image-making: Ward has a singular way of looking at the world, at once elemental and supernatural. This is astonishing cinema, impure and simple.

"Extraordinary... a work of awesome beauty." LA Times

The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey

VINCENT WARD, 1988, 92 MIN. PANORAMA

Cumbria, 1348 ? the year of the Black Death. Griffin, a young boy, is plagued by apocalyptic visions which he believes could save his village. Encouraging a small band of men to tunnel into the earth, they surface in 1980s New Zealand, a future far beyond their comprehension...

"Almost three decades later, the film is still gobsmacking to watch and shows no signs of aging. It is the sort of head trip that leaves audiences gasping for air and critics lunging for adjectives." The Guardian

What Dreams May Come

VINCENT WARD, 1998, 113 MIN. PANORAMA

SUN JUL 21 - 6:45PM

A few years before The English Patient, Ward made this more eccentric but fascinatingly fervid war-torn romance. It begins in the arctic, where a drunken, elderly Inuit, Avik (Jason Scott Lee) recounts his extraordinary life story to a young mapmaker (John Cusack): how an aviator dropped out of the sky and whisked him to a sanitarium in Montreal to cure his TB; how he met his soulmate there, Albertine (Anne Parillaud); how racism and fate swept them apart, only to reconnect at the height of WWII...

SUN JUL 21 - 9:00PM

That shopworn phrase "like nothing you have seen before" surely fits this colour-saturated journey into the afterlife, a dazzling fantasy based on a novel by Richard Matheson (Twilight Zone; I Am Legend). Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra are lovers whose bond reaches beyond the grave... "So breathtaking, so beautiful, so bold in its imagination," wrote Roger Ebert. "Even in its imperfect form shows how movies can imagine the unknown, can lead our imaginations into wonderful places."

Traversing a musical journey from Liverpool to California, this Jakob Dylan-fronted doc casts a new light on 60s sounds so deeply ingrained in our culture we might feel we imbibe them at birth. The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas & the Papas were all influenced by the Beatles (and then went on to influence the Beatles in turn). The locus for this shift was Laurel Canyon, jammed with unparalleled creativity, and inspiring he likes of Beck, Fiona Apple and Cat Power to this day.

Finally released in North America 39 years since it premiered at Cannes, Franco Rosso's reggae rabble-rouser immediately claims its place beside The Harder They Come and Rockers as a lost classic of the genre. It's a palpably authentic picture of being young and black in south London, with racism constantly simmering in the background, but all fuel to the fire of the music (courtesy of Aswad, Johnny Clarke and Dennis Bovell, among others). "One of the greatest British films." Mojo

The great composer Arvo P?rt at work, whilst the artists who perform his music and are inspired by it illustrate the different aspects of the phenomenon the man is. P?rt's music has featured in films as diverse as The Thin Red Line, The Great Beauty, and Avengers: Age of Ultron (among more than 100 credits), and at 83 he's known as "the most performed composer of our times", but then as this appropriately understated portrait suggests, that's because he puts work first.
