Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired.
July 25 - 31
|
SIFF presents with its
co-presenter European Weekly the documentary "Roman
Polanski: Wanted and Desired"
In
1978, after pleading guilty to having “unlawful sexual
intercourse” with a minor, director Roman Polanski boarded a
plane to London, never to return to his home in the United
States. Months earlier, Polanski was arrested at the Beverly
Wilshire Hotel and charged with rape after plying
13-year-old Samantha Geimer with champagne and a partial
Quaalude at the home of his friend Jack Nicholson. He was
released on $2,500 bail and eventually indicted on six
felony charges, including child molestation and sodomy.

Paris | Theater
November 5 - 9
US
Debut

French director Gisèle
Vienne’s interest in bodies, space and macabre
subject matter inspires her latest theater project
JERK, a
one-person puppet show made in collaboration with the
American writer Dennis
Cooper about the Texas serial killer Dean Corll,
is the latest of several recent works by the team of Vienne
and Cooper. Cooper was recently awarded France’s Prix Sade

who [defy] the moral or political order against all forms of
intellectual terrorism.” This engagement will be the only US
performance of JERK.
