Tallinn Film Review : ‘Night Accident’ (Tunku Kyrsyk) - Movie Review 2017
If the ancient, landlocked, scantily voweled Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan gave the 2017 festival circuit one of its more unexpected minor hits with Aktan Arym Kubat’s mesmerizing fable “Centaur,” it looks like it might repeat the feat in 2018 with Temirbek Birnazarov’s “Night Accident.” A hushed, heartsore, wholly immersive story of tentative human connection across a generational gulf, the film, which world premiered in the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, fully deserves to take up the baton for this distinctive and exciting national cinema next year. Its deceptive quietude imbues the most banal of incidents — the wrapping of a bandage, the cracking of an egg — with fascination, and lets faces and actions convey the simple but increasingly evocative narrative with almost silent-movie elegance. Like “Centaur,” it proves Kyrgyz cinema’s facility for spinning lyrical, quasi-mythic gold out of everyday straw, and though it bears the strain of stone-faced humor that saddens the soul a little, it’s a wise and soothing sort of sadness amid a story about a last chance.
The unlikely hero of this defiantly unheroic tale is referred to mostly as “old man,” occasionally with affection but mostly not, and is played with dignified but forlorn solemnity by Akylbek Abdykalykov (whose last credit was in 1992, in Kubat’s terrifically named “Where Is Your Home, Snail?”). Eking out a meager living as a digger of graves and toilets and other such demeaning tasks, we learn early on he was cuckolded by a local bigwig, who not only stole his wife away, but raised his sons in privilege; they now display nothing but disdain for their real dad. He lives in a scuffed two-room house by a horizon-huge lake. Sometimes he sits at its shores in his eternal Kalpak (the traditional white Kyrgyz hat), playing his accordion to its waters — which gives the often scoreless, spartan soundtrack a couple of offbeat musical interludes.

arrivi partenze highlights
Following over a Century of history of migration to Australia ...Arrivi ... Partenze offers now a new reading of the migration phenomenon in XXI Century Australia.
An Initiative of the Italian Consulate in Queensland and Officially opened by the Italian Ambassador in Canberra, H.E Stefano Starace Janfolla.
Produced by New Realm Media
Executive Producer, Alessandro Sorbello.
Featuring Jaider de Oliveira,
The dance-theatre piece ...Arrivi ... Partenze intends to explore the issue of movement and its various meanings: necessary condition for the human being, expression form and communication medium; need of a group resulting in nomadism and migration. The multimedia performance incorporates the use of music, dance, acting, video projections and various other art forms.
...Arrivi ... Partenze traces the path of the soul -- unchanged through the Centuries -- that the individual has to undergo whilst moving in a physical-geographical dimension during his migration process; the piece stages a variety of physical intersecting paths reflecting the complex empirical reality of our days.
The sedentary condition which marks Western contemporary culture exists in sharp contrast with the nomadic nature of our ancestors as well as that of many contemporary ethnic groups. The pressure generated by lack of material resources which has forced many migrants to leave their native country is only one of the many components of the inner drives calling for an individual to become a Wayfarer.
In a reality driven by external pressures which make the way faring process ever more difficult in an inner sense, the physical-geographical wayfaring offers perhaps the only possible socially acceptable alternative.
Improved means of transport and ever-changing communication technology have revolutionized the quality and speed of movement across continents. The physical aspects of this experience have been radically modified by today's technological progress and economic situation.
Various visit modalities: initial, short and long term temporary and ultimately permanent stay; present the same issues for the individual, family, group and the whole community in a broader sense that migrants to Australia have faced in the XIX and XX Centuries.
Shifting from the universal to a more specific dimension and following a path stemming from the analysis of the human being's nature ...Arrivi ... Partenze offers now a new reading of the XXI Century migration phenomenon to Australia.

INSPIRATIONS
Bruce Charles Chatwin ~ (13 May 1940 - 18 January 1989) was a British novelist and travel writer. He would not have considered being a nomadic writer as a career so much as a way of life, and he had hoped his greatest work would be about nomads. He collected a mass of relevant notes, mammoth, unpublished, that eventually became part of his work on Australian Aborginines, The Songlines. Anatomy of Restlessness was published in 1997 and is a collection of unpublished essays, articles, short stories, and travel tales. This collection spans the twenty years of Bruce Chatwin's career as a writer.
Rainer Maria Rilke ~ (4 December 1875 -- 29 December 1926) is generally considered the German language's greatest 20th century poet. His haunting images tend to focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche ~ (October 15, 1844 - August 25, 1900) was a German philosopher. His writing included critiques of religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science. His style of writing was distinctive, displaying a fondness for aphorism and paradox. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star
Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in neutral Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1920. The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature (poetry, art manifestoes, art theory), theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti war politic through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. The movement influenced later styles, movements, and groups including Surrealism, Pop Art and Fluxus.
COMPOSERS
Hildegard von Bingen ~ 1098 -- September 17, 1179), was a German magistra and later, abbess. Approximately eighty compositions have survived, which is one of the largest repertoires among medieval composers In addition to music, Hildegard also wrote medical, botanical and geological treatises, and she even invented an alternative alphabet. The text of her writing and compositions reveals Hildegard's use of this form of modified medieval Latin, encompassing many invented, conflated and abridged words. Due to her inventions of words for her lyrics and a constructed script, many conlangers look upon her as a medieval precursor.
Jordi Savall i Bernadet ~ (born 1941, in Igualada, Spain) is a Spanish viol player and composer. He has been one of the major figures in the field of early music since the 1970s, largely responsible for bringing the viol (viola da gamba) back to life on the stage. His repertory ranges from Medieval to Renaissance and Baroque music.
In 1974 he formed the ensemble Hespèrion XX (since 2000 as Hespèrion XXI), together with the soprano Montserrat Figueras (his wife), Lorenzo Alpert and Hopkinson Smith. Hespèrion XX favored a style of interpretation characterised by great musical vitality and at the same time, maximum historical accuracy.
The Llibre Vermell de Montserrat (Catalan for Red Book of Montserrat) is a collection of late medieval songs. The 14th century manuscript was located at the monastery of Montserrat outside Barcelona in Catalonia.
The manuscript was prepared in approximately 1399. It originally contained 172 double pages, of which 32 have been lost. The title The Red Book of Montserrat describes the red binding in which the collection was placed in the nineteenth century. No composer is identified for any of the songs it contains.
The monastery holds the shrine of the Virgin of Montserrat, which was a major site of pilgrimage during the time it was compiled.
Gilbert Bécaud ~ (October 24, 1927 -- December 18, 2001) was a French singer, composer and actor, known as Monsieur 100,000 Volts for his energetic performances. His best-known hits are probably Nathalie and Et maintenant.
Philip Glass (born January 31, 1937) is an Academy Award-nominated American composer. Glass was born in Baltimore, Maryland as the son of Jewish migrants from Lithuania. His music is frequently described as minimalist, though he prefers the term theater music. He is considered one of the most influential composers of the late-20th centuryand is widely acknowledged as a composer who has brought art music to the public (apart from precursors such as Kurt Weill and Leonard Bernstein), in creating an accessibility not previously recognised by the broader market. Glass is extremely prolific as a composer; he has written ensemble works, operas, symphonies, concertos, film scores and for the piano. He is a strong supporter of the Tibetan cause. In 1987 he co-founded the Tibet House with Columbia University professor Robert Thurman and the actor Richard Gere. Glass lives in New York and in Nova Scotia.
Arvo Pärt ~ (born September 11, 1935 in Paide), is an Estonian composer, often identified with the school of minimalism and more specifically, that of mystic minimalism or sacred minimalism. He is considered a pioneer of this style, along with contemporaries Henryk Górecki and John Tavener. Arvo Pärt is best known for his choral works. Pärt's musical education began at age 7, while he began attending music school in Rakvere (his family lived there at the time) and by 14 or 15 he was writing his own compositions. While studying composition (with teacher Heino Eller) at the Tallinn Conservatory it was said of him that: he just seemed to shake his sleeves and notes would fall out. There were very few influences from outside the Soviet Union at this time, just a few illegal tapes and scores. Pärt describes some of his music as tintinnabuli - like the ringing of bells. The music is characterised by simple harmonies, often single unadorned notes, or triad chords which form the basis of western harmony. These are reminiscent of ringing bells, hence the name. Tintinnabuli works are rhythmically simple, and do not change tempo. The influence of early music is clear.
The Golden Gate Quartet is the most successful of all of the African-American gospel music groups who sang in the jubilee quartet style. Founded as the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet in Norfolk, Virginia in 1934 by A. C. Eddie Griffin, Robert Peg Ford, Henry Owens, and Bill Johnson, they began as a traditional jubilee quartet, combining the clever arrangements associated with barbershop quartets with rhythms borrowed from the blues and jazz.
AUTHORS
Saint John of the Cross ~ (San Juan de la Cruz) (June 24, 1542 -- December 14, 1591) was a major figure in the Catholic Reformation, a Spanish mystic and Carmelite friar born at Fontiveros, a small village near Ávila. He is renowned for his writings; both his poetry and his studies on the growth of the soul are considered the summit of mystical Spanish literature and one of the peaks of all Spanish literature. The third work, Ascent of Mount Carmel is a more systematic study of the ascetical endeavour of a soul looking for perfect union.
Dante Alighieri or simply Dante, (May 14/June 13, 1265 -- September 13/14, 1321) was an Italian poet from Florence. His greatest work, the Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy), is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature. The wrathful are purged by walking around in acrid smoke (Cantos XV through XVII). Souls correct themselves by learning how wrath has blinded their vision, impeding their judgment.
António Nogueira de Seabra Pessoa (b. June 13, 1888 in Lisbon, Portugal — d. November 30, 1935 in the same city) was a poet and writer. Critic Harold Bloom referred to him in the book The Western Canon as the most representative poet of the twentieth century, along with Pablo Neruda. Pessoa is unique as an author due to the importance of heteronyms in his writing.

Katriona Gilmore
Fiddle, Mandolin & Vocals
Fiddler Katriona Gilmore credits the 1997 incarnation of The Albion Band as the sparking point for her musical career: 'I saw Joe Broughton with The Albion Band when I was 12 and his playing just blew me away -- I was considering giving up the violin, and that inspiration arrived in the nick of time.' After several years of playing alongside her guitarist father, Katriona joined forces with innovative lap-tapping guitarist Jamie Roberts in 2006. The duo have since released two albums, toured with Fairport Convention and been nominated for the BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award. Katriona, also an award-winning songwriter, has previously toured as part of indie folk sensations Tiny Tin Lady and with Rosie Doonan's Snapdragons, and has appeared as session musician on several acclaimed albums.
Gavin Davenport
Vocals, Cittern, Gutiar & Concertina
Multi instrumentalist, singer and song writer Gavin Davenport spent his late teens and early twenties infiltrating the folk scene and encouraging people to buy him drinks in return for singing traditional songs culled from early Albion projects including Battle of the Field and Morris On. Spurred on by this he developed a deep love of traditional song which led him to academic research and mainstage performances from Europe to Canada with bands and solo projects and he toured solo in Canada once again in 2011. In last few years he has gained an enviable reputation as a powerful interpreter of English traditional songs and ballads, both accompanied and unaccompanied and has won acclaim and plaudits for his songwriting, with other contemporary formers including Folk Award nominees Lady Maisery picking up his material. He's played with an eclectic range of folk projects from the traditionalism of vocal harmony and instrumental group Crucible to the heavy metal excesses of dance band Glorystrokes and all points in between.
Blair Dunlop
Vocals & Guitars
Blair began playing guitar at the age of six and grew up around the music of The Albion Band I remember going to a lot of Albion Band gigs and falling in love with the music, Ken Nicol's guitar playing has stayed with me in particular and inspired me to learn and play music I really connected with. The son of Albion, Fiarport and Steeleye founder Ashley Hutchings, Blair began his career in entertainment in the film industry, in Tim Burton's production of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', playing the part of young Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp). After leaving school he then decided to follow a career in music with his first EP being released in the summer of 2010 and the follow up 'Bags Outside the Door' a year later. Blair has just completed a short tour of Italy and performed at the Southbank Centre at the 'In Search of Nic Jones' tribute concert. He has supported acts such as Fairport Convention, Cara Dillon and Georgie Fame and is a finalist of the 2012 Radio 2 Young Folk Award.
Tim Yates
Bass, Melodeon & Vocals
Benjamin Trott
Lead Guitar
Swift fingered lead guitarist Ben Trott has been exposed to English folk music as far back as he can remember, and grew up to the sounds of his father's folk flute playing. Ben has experience of a wide variety of musical genres, but loves folk first and foremost:
I find the role of the guitar in folk music very interesting, from the acoustic accompaniment styles of players such as Tim Edey and Martin Carthy to the flair and expression of Richard Thompson's electric guitar. I feel privileged to be a part of The Albion Band because of it's history and because I believe this line-up will live up to it and take it further!
Tom A Wright
Tom A Wright -- Drums/Vocals
Tom's love for roots music started to creep out during his time attending festivals and playing drums and guitar in local bands during his teens in Exeter. It was at this time that He first encountered and performed with people like Jackie Oates and Jim Moray.
Tom Studied Music Production at the Leeds College of Music (as did Katriona and a host of other folk musicians, producers and engineers) where he worked with a wide variety of Punk, Jazz, Folk and Dance acts. It was at this time that Tom's love for folk music was confirmed as He joined the ceilidh band Pepper in the Brandy (at the request of Nick Cooke, now of Mawkin) on Electric Guitar.
Since Uni, Tom has produced a number of records for and played with artists such as Park Bench Social Club, FolkEngine, Amanda Connell, Dogan Mehmet, Eliza Carthy, Cieran Boyle, Rosie Hood and The No Good Sinners. He continues to collaborate with various people including Will Lang in PBS6.
