Carice van Houten has had head-turning roles in Paul Verhoeven's World War II thriller Black Book and the challenging Ingrid Jonker biopic Black Butterflies. But the strikingly gorgeous Dutch actress has reached a new level of fame thanks to her recurring role as the menacing red lady Melisandre on Game of Thrones, and she's putting her fame and classic Hollywood style beauty to use in making an English-language biopic about the iconic film star Greta Garbo. Screendaily reports van Houten will produce and star in the presently untitled biopic, which will follow Garbo from her beginnings as shopgirl in Stockholm, to her heyday as one of MGM's most celebrated stars, one who deftly made the tricky transition from silent films to talkies before retiring in her prime. The screenplay by Soni Jorgensen is currently in flux, but van Houten promises it will offer a respectful yet insightful perspective into...

Remember To see in my eyes The sun which I will now cover for ever With black butterflies. —Ingrid Jonker The tragic and mysterious story of a writer—oft described as the South African Sylvia Plath—is brought to the screen in Paula van der Oest’s Black Butterflies. In this biopic set in Cape Town, Ingrid Jonker’s words and experiences are carefully exposed in an attempt to capture her life and work as an Afrikaan writer.

Have we all recovered from the Oscars? I'm still steamed about Billy Crystal's blackface, but really, it's the horrible, groan-inducing jokes that were the most offensive of all. I just like to fantasize about the Tilda/Charlize/Fassbender crazy Oscar party they must have had together. That would be the place to watch! But now it's March, so awards season is over, and we must move on to new and greener pastures. You know what they say about March, in like a "Lorax" out like a lamb. Right? Something like that. This weekend, "The Lorax" ushers in spring with a little ecology lesson, and "Project X" ushers in Spring Break, Woo! We've also got curiosity "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie," somehow being released in theaters, Jafar Panahi's house arrest doc "This Is Not A Film" and plenty of other selections in our First Weekend of March Cornucopia.

The good news is we're finally out of the February doldrums. The bad news is March isn't really starting off much better. There are just two major releases hitting theatres this weekend: the CG adaptation of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax and the found footage party comedy Project X. The former seems to be getting okay reviews, but the latter... not so much. Fortunately, there are a few interesting things in select theatres including acclaimed Aussie crime thriller The Snowtown Murders, a Kiwi dramedy from the director of Eagle vs. Shark called Boy, and the Chinese action flick Let the Bullets Fly starring Chow Yun-Fat. Also, if you didn't catch it on demand, Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie is finally playing in a handful of theatres. It seems like a safe bet that The Lorax will take down Act of Valor at the box office, but hey, you never...

Based on a true story, the new drama Black Butterflies stars Carice van Houten-- a new addition to the cast of HBO's Game of Thrones-- as South Africa's answer to Sylvia Plath, the writer Ingrid Jonker. Set in the 1960s, the film follows her development as a writer as well as the tragedy of Apartheid, which provides a backdrop to the film's drama. As you can see in the exclusive clip we're premiering below, though, the film's primary story concerns Ingrid's many romantic affairs, as well as her turbulent relationship with her father (Rutger Hauer), a censor for the South African government. In the clip you see the beginnings of a love triangle unfold, as Ingrid is introduced to Eugene Maritz, a fan of her work who will soon become much more. The man who introduces them is Ingrid's current lover, Jack-- so you can see how the...

It's March! Which means spring is right around the corner. So why not celebrate the start of a new month with a few new movie releases? This weekend sees the opening of the colorful "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" and high-school party patrol flick "Project X." Will either film muster up enough strength to take on last week's surprise No. 1 movie, the Navy Seal-starring "Act of Valor"? For a guide to this week's slate of films, let's take a look at Moviefone's Weekend Movie Preview. Nationwide Releases "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" What's the story: Zac Efron stars as Ted, a boy who becomes fascinated with Audrey (Taylor Swift), the girl next door who's obsessed with Truffula trees.

Game of Thrones star Carice van Houten has dropped hints about her role as priestess Melisandre. In the second season of the HBO drama, the actress will reunite with actor Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos Seaworth), with whom she appears in the film Black Butterflies. "It's so funny to work with him again," she told Vulture. "And this time, I get to throw him in a prison. But I better not say too much about Game of Thrones, or Mr HBO will kill me." Van Houten admitted that she has not read George R R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, on which Game of Thrones is based. "I have them all piled up in my room, so the instant I'm (more)...

Cinema has endured through the years not because it's a good time, or because it's a concise, closed method of storytelling. The format endures because of its innate flexibility, utilizing sound and visuals with the natural storytelling techniques of writers and directors that allows for interpretations and re-interpretations of the very same ideas that shape our other art forms. Not to say it is hierarchically "better" or worse than literature, prose, poetry or illustrated artwork, but it is no less durable. This partly serves as the reason why filmmakers and audiences remain drawn to the dramatized lives of artists, such as Ingrid Jonker, the poet at the heart of "Black Butterflies," as the subject matter allows the medium to penetrate both creator and creation.
Jonker, a white Afrikaner, grew into an unprecedented upbringing underneath her father Abraham, a staunch apartheid ally and member of Parliament in the late '50s and early '60s.

Good news, New Yorkers! The Tff 2011 favorite Black Butterflies opens Friday, March 2, at Cinema Village. Black Butterflies is a stirring portrait of Ingrid Jonker (Carice van Houten), the woman hailed as South Africa's Sylvia Plath. For her captivating performance as a woman ruled by her own genius and episodes of mental illness, van Houten was awarded the Best Actress prize at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. In 1960s Cape Town, as Apartheid steals the expressive rights of blacks and whites alike, Jonker finds her freedom through her poetry. Amid escalating quarrels with her longtime lover Jack Cope (Liam Cunningham) and her rigid father, a parliament censorship minister (Rutger Hauer), Jonker witnesses an unconscionable event that will alter the course of both her artistic and personal lives. Make sure to catch Carice van Houten's award-winning performance before she joins the cast of Game of Thrones when Season 2 debuts on ...

Inadvertently becoming a role model to his students and a runaway teen, Henry finds that he's not alone in a life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.

Now playing on VOD, the Tff 2011 biopic Black Butterflies is a moving portrait of the South African poet Ingrid Jonker (Carice van Houten, Black Book), who is often hailed as her country's version of Sylvia Plath. In Paula van der Oest's lush film, Jonker's turbulent, passionate life - which included bouts with mental illness - is viewed through the lenses of her expressive poetry, the combative politics of Apartheid - which she stood firmly against - and her tumultuous relationships with both her conservative father (Rutger Hauer) and her longtime lover Jack Cope (Liam Cunningham). At the center of the film is a powerhouse performance by the beguiling Dutch movie star Carice van Houten; she was named Best Actress for her performance in Black Butterflies at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. (Van Houten will also join the cast of Game of Thrones when Season 2 debuts on HBO this April.) We...

Despite striking turns in such noteworthy World War II dramas as Paul Verhoeven's Black Book and Bryan Singer's Valkyrie, Dutch actress Carice van Houten has yet to break through Stateside in a major way. But those of you who were captivated by van Houten's eye-catching role as a charismatic necromancer in the underwhelming medieval drama Black Death may be eager to catch van Houten in her latest effort, the bittersweet biopic Black Butterflies. Here van Houten portrays Ingrid Jonker, a poet often referred to as the South African Sylvia Plath because of the tender yet brutal nature of her verse and her self-destructive compulsions. Yet Jonker's story is more than the story of a brilliant poet, but the story of a movement. Her father was a political conservative who supported the South African government's established racial segregation and censorship legislation, but Jonker not only privately rejected her father's...

1. She Monkeys
When 15-year-old Emma lands a competitive spot on a young women’s equestrian acrobatics team, she is taken under the wing of her slightly older peer Cassandra. Obsessed with strength and control, Emma covets Cassandra’s natural grace and poise, while Cassandra in turn silently desires more than just Emma’s discipline. The psychological stakes of their friendship intensify as the two jockey for top position, and loyalty is traded for unbridled power. Meanwhile, Emma’s curious and innocent eight-year-old sister (in a remarkably complex performance delivered by rising star Isabella Lindquist) is prematurely spurred to confront the treacherous frontiers of sexuality and womanhood on her own.
Lisa Aschan’s award-winning directorial debut digs between the cracks of human behavior to reveal the seemingly naïve experience of girlhood as a feeding ground for underhanded brutality and rivalry. Using naturalistic direction, evocative imagery, and engrossing performances, Aschan smartly...

You can tell how massive and diverse a festival like Tribeca is by the fact that I saw 10 features and a whole bunch of shorts, yet only one film I saw won an award and none received special mention. I want to congratulate Rider & Shiloh Strong for winning best online short for their amazing film, The Dungeon Master. I have been pushing it as my favorite short of the festival and apparently many people agreed with me. Below is the list of all the winners & special mentions. Congratulations to all of them and congrats to everyone who just played at the festival, which is a huge honor by itself.

"At first it was about neighborhood," begins Eric Hynes in the Voice. "Then it was about stars, parties, and supersizing. But finally, for its 10th incarnation, the Tribeca Film Festival (April 20-May 1) seems to be about movies. Gone are the superfluous, attention-sucking Hollywood premieres (Tom Cruise on a Jet Ski, anyone?), and few are the big-name, low-quality vanity projects. Several years into a vital slimming of the slate — the fest topped out at 176 films in 2005; this year, it's a manageable 93 — Tff remains New York's largest film survey."

Jurors at the 10th annual Tribeca Film Festival followed GreenCine Daily’s own recommendations, awarding the best narrative feature prize to Lisa Aschan’s edgy, estrogenized psych-out She Monkeys and top doc honors to Alma Har’el’s sweet and lyrical Bombay Beach – one film rigorously composed, the other a shambling, handmade assemblage.
Also richly rewarding was best actress winner Carice van Houten’s performance in Black Butterflies. Biographical dramas about tortured artistic souls set against a tense historical backdrop can be predictable, grandiose and rather pious. Dutch director Paula Van Der Oest avoids many of the pitfalls associated with the genre, although part of that is the relative obscurity of her subject, a poet with whom most Americans are not familiar (and therefore unable to draw comparisons to real-life knowledge of the character). Known as South Africa’s answer to Sylvia Plath, Ingrid Jonker killed herself...

In an event held at the Union Square W Hotel in Manhattan, the 10th annual Tribeca Film Festival announced its major prize winners (with the Heineken Audience Award to be announced on Saturday, April 30). The festival has been influential in recent years in finding the best documentaries of the year, and often also in helping to bring them to fruition.
Consequently, the judges’ choices of winners of the documentary categories should be taken seriously, and those films tracked down as must-viewing over the year/s ahead.
For the filmmakers, one of the true rewards that sets this festival apart, in addition to the cash and in-kind prizes that come with these awards, are the Tribeca Film Festival Art Awards sponsored by Chanel, which gift original pieces of art to the winners below. Any endeavor where art inspires art across different media is worthy of support, and nothing could be more New York.

For the filmmakers, one of the true rewards that sets this festival apart, in addition to the cash and in-kind prizes that come with these awards, are the Tribeca Film Festival Art Awards sponsored by Chanel, which gift original pieces of art to the winners below. Any endeavor where art inspires art across different media is worthy of support, and nothing could be more New York.

New York festival honours Man and Boy but top awards go to Swedish and Israeli directors
A British film about the death of a suspected paedophile has won the award for best narrative short at the Tribeca film festival in New York.
Man and Boy, which was directed by David Leon and Marcus McSweeney, stars Eddie Marsan. It was inspired by the case of Scott Campbell, who fell to his death from a tower block in 2008 after trying to flee a mob who thought he had sexually assaulted a boy.
The jury said: "The jury liked this film's marriage of brilliant acting, superb technical prowess and provocative subject matter. It's a movie memorable for upending expectations."
There was another UK success at the festival when the British writer and director Jerry Rothwell won the best feature film prize in an online competition involving visitors to the Tribeca website.

She Monkeys, directed by Lisa Aschan, and the documentary Bombay Beach lead field at event co-founded by Robert De Niro
Films from two first-time female directors have taken the top prizes at this year's Tribeca film festival in New York, the event co-founded by Robert De Niro to help reinvigorate the area devastated by 9/11.
She Monkeys, which focuses on the tension between two Swedish girls who become friends and rivals on an equestrian acrobatics team, won the best narrative feature award for director Lisa Aschan. "This film speaks of sex, adolescence, power, and ambition. It is original and authentic," the jury said.
The best documentary feature prize – at an event which prides itself on pushing factual film-making to the forefront – went to Alma Har'el's Bombay Beach, the tale of a number of offbeat characters living in the titular community in southern California. Something of a ghost town after continuous...

“Black Butterflies” Ingrid Jonker (Carice Van Houten) lived an impossible contradiction, writing heart-rending poetry about being a woman of privilege living under apartheid rule, all the while dealing with pressure from the head of the censorship board (Rutger Hauer), a man who also happened to be her father. “Black Butterflies” is the story of how Jonker, a woman with unending sexual cravings and a noted mental imbalance, managed to cope with this dichotomy. In the opening, the least poetic of a number of unconvincing metaphors writ large, Jonker is saved from drowning by handsome publisher Jack Cope (Liam Cunningham), an…...

There have been so many films set in South Africa that have covered the decades of Apartheid over the years one would think there's very little ground to cover, but Black Butterflies , directed by Paula van der Oest, who helmed the Oscar-nominated Zus & zo , takes a different approach by looking at the country's civil unrest through the eyes of one of the country's great poets, Ingrid Jonker. Taking place in the early '60s at the height of Apartheid, Jonker is played by Carice van Houten ( Valkyrie , Black Book ), as the film follows her turbulent relationship with author Jack Cope, played by Liam Cunningham, from their first meeting. At the time, Jonker was rebelling against her racist father, a high-ranking official who was in charge of the censorship of literature, and...

Tribeca: Tell us a little about Black Butterflies. Paula van der Oest: Black Butterflies is the true life and love story of the talented young South African poet Ingrid Jonker, a strong-headed woman and disobedient white artist during the Apartheid regime. From an early age, Ingrid finds her freedom and solace in writing, whenever and wherever she can. Despite the love of many men and her relationship with the famous writer Jack Cope, no one can give Ingrid what she seeks. Rejected by her father, who worked as minister of censorship in the Apartheid regime of 1960s South Africa, she struggles to find a home and a love Tribeca: What inspired you to tell this story?
