Courmayeur Noir Film Festival 2009Towards evening after a day out skiing at Courmayeur, the so named “vasca” is a habitué. Shopping, aperitif, wonder around the shops. The 19th Courmayeur Noir in Festival is also a must, for all the fans of cinema and literature.
Five film awards, from the hot Messico of Welcome to Tijuana to the snowy cold of repression in Chechnya with Entre ours et loup. the frightening topicality of a massacre that becomes a game (Playing Columbine) and the massacre of Main basse sur l’Europe. At last the recent American politics traversed by the madness of The Killer Poet, told by Susan Gray, director of Citizen Berlusconi. There are four highly anticipated film premieres. The funny catastrophes in 3D of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, from the children’s book by Judi Barrett; the Italian cartoon film Cuccioli – Il Codice di Marco Polo, presented in world premiere by director Sergio Manfio; the TV series Casper’s Scare School, presented by Cartoon Network and the fairytale Lilly the Witch: The Dragon and the Magic Book by Stefan Ruzowitzky. ![]() This year’s guests are: Oscar-winning author-screenwriter Diablo Cody with her new film, Jennifer’s Body, directed by Karyn Kusama and interpretated by the beautiful Megan Fox, Amanda Seyefred and Adam Brody.
