MVFF36 ANNOUNCES TRIBUTE TO
ACADEMY AWARD� WINNING FILMMAKER
COSTA-GAVRAS
Friday, October 4, 2013
Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center,
time TBA

Each year MVFF recognizes acclaimed filmmakers from around the globe. This year the festival is pleased to present famed Academy Costa-GavrasAward� winning filmmaker Costa-Gavras with a special tribute.  In addition to showing clips from his past work, his latest film, CAPITAL, will have its Bay Area Premiere at the festival and Costa Gavras will be in attendance for a live on-stage interview. In his  breakneck new thriller CAPITAL, legendary filmmaker Costa-Gavras (Z, Missing) explores a world of economic turmoil in which a young CEO of an investment bank, set up to be a patsy figurehead, finds his survival instincts while navigating through treacherous international waters buffeted by money, power, sex and vengeance. multinational corporations supplant traditional nation states as the new global mega-powers. French comedian Gad Elmaleh (Midnight in Paris), in a charismatic change-of-pace, plays Marc Tourneuil, a novice investment bank CEO who demonstrates a savvy balance of na�ve populism and cutthroat instinct as he sails the chaotic waters of international finance. By fending off hostile takeovers and backstabbing coups-most notably from an American financier played by Gabriel Byrne-Marc channels the director's take on class warfare, the morality of convenience and the mercenary swiftness of fortunes lost, found and taken. Are Marc's greed and ambition too big to fail? Costa-Gavras has made a career of offering few easy answers to tales of political turmoil, and the endlessly entertaining CAPITAL is no exception as it wades through sex, money and power with the auteur's cinematic instincts alive and flourishing.
