Mister FoeOctober 10th - October 16thBest Actress, BAFTA Awards, Scotland Prize of the Guild of German Art House Cinemas, Berlin International Film Festival Silver Berlin Bear, Best Film Music, Berlin International Film Festival Golden Swan, Best Cinematographer, Copenhagen International Film Festival Golden Hitchcock, Dinard British Film Festival Kodak Award for Best Cinematography, Dinard British Film Festival FIPRESCI Prize, Motovun Film Festival Critics Award, Verona Love Screens Film Festival "A dark, often funny Oedipal and erotic tale from Young Adam director David Mackenzie, Mister Foe benefits from the emotionally and physically agile performance of Bell." — Philadelphia Inquirer "Even in the earthiest moments of the film, there’s a sense of magic that reflects the filter of Hallam’s innocence, eccentricity and otherness." — Times [UK] "I like creepy guys," says Kate Breck (Sophia Myles), in a bar, after one too many drinks, to the young lad named Hallam Foe. In Mister Foe - a pervy and poignant tale of a boy on the brink of manhood, still reeling from the death of his mother - the late-20s Kate and the just-18 Hallam tumble into a strange romance. Jamie Bell ('Billy' in Billy
Elliot) is Hallam Foe, a troubled young man whose knack for voyeurism paradoxically reveals his darkest fears, and his most peculiar desires.
Driven to expose the true cause of his mother’s death, he instead finds himself searching the rooftops of the city of Edinburgh for love. Able to navigate the necessary social routes to gain employment and get along with coworkers, Hallam is nonetheless seriously lost in his own universe: grieving, fantasizing, plotting revenge. He's sure his stepmother killed his mum and made it look like suicide. And he holds his father in contempt for having an affair with this "white trash gold digger" who's now part of the family. Beautifully shot, with a melancholy, jangling pop soundtrack and a beguiling turn from actress Myles, Mister Foe is much more than just another well-made coming-of-age drama. It goes deeper, and stays longer, kicking around in your head. Featuring a lively soundtrack with Franz Ferdinand, Sons and Daughters and Orange Juice among others, MISTER FOE is a darkly twisted, entertaining work of magical realism from one of the leading lights of the new Scottish cinema. 95mins/ 2007/ Scotland/ NR

Hippodrome Art Gallery Since 1990, Shands Arts in Medicine has used the creative arts to engage adult and pediatric patients undergoing treatment for serious illness at Shands Hospital and Clinics. Our belief is that participating in the arts reduces stress, enhances communication and enables those who have been hospitalized to regain a sense of their healthy self. Many of the pediatric “artists” who participate in Arts in Medicine face lifelong health challenges. Year after year, we watch them grow from children into young adults, and gain inspiration from their determination. And when illness overcomes them, we grieve with their families. Through their art, they tell us of their hopes and dreams, and describe their life beyond being a “patient.” The paintings on display here were created by “artists” at Shands Children’s Hospital and will be auctioned off at the 7th Annual Art Through The Eyes of A Child Art Auction at the UF Orthopedic Center on October 30th. Over 150 paintings, ceramics and furniture items created through Arts in Medicine will be available. Funds raised at the auction support the arts at Shands, along with research and support programs funded through the Children’s Miracle Network. To learn more about the event, contact the Children’s Miracle Network office at 352-265-7953 or visit www.shandskids.org. To learn more about Shands Arts in Medicine, visit www.shands.org/aim. |
