2004 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL - DIRECTORS' FORTNIGHT
Wellspring in association with Nightlight Films
Presents
TARNATION
A Film By Jonathan Caouette
EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS
Gus Van Sant
John Cameron Mitchell
PRODUCER
Stephen Winter
Jonathan Caouette's spellbinding debut TARNATION re-imagines the whole idea of what a documentary can be. This wholly original and breathtaking film establishes Caouette as a cinematic visionary to reckon with.
Caouette has been documenting his life since he was 11 years old. With TARNATION, he weaves a psychedelic whirlwind of snapshots, Super-8 home movies, answering machine messages, video diaries, early short films, snippets of '80s pop culture and dramatic re-enactments to create an epic portrait of an American family torn apart by dysfunction and reunited through the power of love.
TARNATION is a raw and sensual display of self-destruction and rebirth that announces the arrival of an exceptional new filmmaking talent.
"A powerful and heartbreaking film Caouette shows himself to be a documentarian of rare skill in the way he uses his materials... TARNATION is a moving and technically impressive work."
- Roger Ebert
"I feel transcendence in reality, watching TARNATION, in which Jonathan Caouette, like a digital Kenneth Anger, takes a deathless swan dive into the fractured memories of his strange, tormented, beautiful life..."
- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

D-Figgis: The Futures Bright, The Futures Figgis
Despite the imminent release of Cold Creek Manor, Mike Figgis spent
last week promoting artistic autonomy and experimentation.
Returning to the very cinema in Newcastle where he was first infected
with the film bug, Figgis performed an enthralling remix of his real-time,
split-screen LA story Timecode. The performance was the final act of the citys
pioneering Audio Visual Festival which included the European premiere of
Cold Creek Manor.
