ICEBERG / Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon & Bruno Romy BELGIUM, 2005, 84 MIN Not since René Clair and Jacques Tati have gags been so expertly constructed or characters looked more mournful than in Iceberg, a tasty concoction of poetic fantasy and slapstick comedy. In a tranquil seaside town, life goes through its predictable paces. Fiona, our sad-sack heroine, lives with her husband and kids and manages a local restaurant. One day she accidentally gets locked in the restaurant’s cold storage chamber, from which she emerges a woman transformed and obsessed with all things frozen. Before long, she meets a deaf sailor and embarks on a new adventure aboard a skiff named “Le Titanique” and then… These venturesome filmmakers are cinematic magicians and gifted clowns. Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon and Bruno Romy who are the writers, directors and stars of this feature film worked previously in the theater and circus. They met in the 1990s while on a theater tour in Normandy and since then have collaborated on a number of projects for video, theater and film. Rather than having defined roles when working on a project they are a truly collaborative team, sharing all phases of the creative process. Iceberg is their first feature film. Preceded by: TERRA INCOGNITA / Peter Volkart SWITZERLAND, 2005, 18 MIN Peter Volkart’s hilarious “mockumentary” explores one young physicist’s bizarre experiments and secret expeditions to unknown parts of the world. Peter Volkart was born in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1957. He studied art and film in New York City. Since 1990, he has worked as a freelance designer and filmmaker.
