Friday February 1
Director Jean-Marc Vallee | french with subtitles | Drama | 120 min | MA15+
Café de Flore is a love story about people separated by time and place but connected in profound and mysterious ways. Atmospheric, fantastical, tragic and hopeful, the film chronicles the parallel fates of Jacqueline (Vanessa Paradis), a young mother with a disabled son in 1960s Paris, and Antoine (Kevin Parent), a recently divorced, successful DJ in present day Montreal. What binds the two stories together is love – euphoric, obsessive, tragic, youthful, timeless love.
“I think it’s been beautifully shot, beautifully performed and really heartwrenching… I loved this film.” Margaret Pomeranz, At The Movies.

INTERNATIONAL FILM PROGRAM &
GUESTS TO TOUR SOUTHWEST
The Revelation Perth International Film Festival regional program Rev on the Road announces its Southwest program of 10 feature film titles, one of Australia’s most recognised faces from the big and small screen, screenings of locally based films and one of cinemas classic titles with a live score.
Travelling to Albany and Esperance will be special guest Steve Bisley. Star of some of Australia’s most well known feature films (Mad Max, The Big Steal, Silver City) and television series (Water Rats, Police Rescue, Sea Patrol, Frontline), Steve will be presenting the Australian classic Mad Max.
“When I was asked to come on board for the Revelation Perth International Film Festival tour to Esperance and Albany, I had no hesitation in saying YES! Not only do I get a chance to see a collection of wonderful films, I get a chance to reconnect with the people of Southern WA who were so generous to me on my last visit. This is a great part of Australia and I look forward to being there in mid September“ says Steve.
Other guests include Perth band Viola Dana, who will provide a specially composed musical accompaniment to the 1926 Buster Keaton classic The General. Combined with Viola Dana’s wonderful mix of bluegrass and jazz sounds alongside this still remarkably fresh film, Rev on the Road promises an experience that will bring audiences to their feet and keep a smile on their face for days.
Other titles presented in the diverse international program include:
The stunning 1970 documenting the ill-fated Altamont performance by the Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter. One of the most gripping documentaries on the film festival circuit, The Imposter. The very beautiful Japanese cult kids film Komaneko the Curious Cat. A specially curated program of brand new international short animations (Esperance only). One of the most acclaimed new independent feature films released this year, My Sister’s Sister (Albany only). The bittersweet Irish coming of age film My Brothers. The surprise smash hit horror film The Cabin in the Woods (Albany only). A great Australian vampire film that goes all the way, The Caretaker (Esperance only).
To cap off this caravan of international cinematic delights, and in conjunction with ABC Open, Rev on the Road presents the Rev on the Road Awards with cash and other prizes of $6,000 in each location.
“We’re very overjoyed with this program and the way the communities have backed it” says Rev on the Road director Richard Sowada, “it’s high quality, vibrant, unique and surprising – and that’s hard to do.”
Rev on the Road is supported by the State Government through Eventscorp’s Regional Events Program, which is funded by Royalties for Regions.
