Gala de deschidere BIEFF aduce în premieră în România cel mai nou lungmetraj al maestrului filmului experimental TERRY GILLIAM, THE ZERO THEOREM. Proiecţia va avea loc în prezenţa regizorului la Cinema Pro, miercuri, 11 decembrie, și va fi precedată de un Masterclass susținut de acesta la Cinema Studio. Evenimentul și prezența regizorului în România sunt posibile datorită sprijinului generos oferit de British Council, JTI și MediaPro Distribution.
Prezentat în premieră mondială în cadrul prestigiosului Festival Internaţional de Film de la Veneţia 2013, retro-futuristul science-fiction THE ZERO THEOREM, filmat anul trecut în Bucureşti, este o satiră acidă, cu nuanţe orwelliene, la adresa lumii contemporane, dominată de computere şi de marile corporaţii. Amintind de BRAZIL, filmul poartă mărcile specifice lui GILLIAM: excentricitatea și umorul insolit, personajele burleşti şi contrastele dintre futurismul low-tech şi decorul clasic în descompunere. Într-o lume a zgomotului şi a claustrofobiei tehnologice, în care nu te poţi ascunde nicăieri de reclamele ce te urmăresc pe stradă – unele dintre ele promovând biserica lui Batman Mântuitorul – Qohen, un „zombie de cubicul”, inadaptat social şi genial în materie de computere, se luptă cu credinţa în propriul destin. Chinuit de angoase existenţiale, aşteaptă un telefon ce ar trebui să dea sens vieţii sale, în timp ce lucrează la „teorema zero”, un proiect misterios care sugerează că existenţa în sine, întregul univers, Qohen inclusiv, nu au niciun sens.
