Arclight Films will have the pleasure of attending the Sundance Film Festival this year.
Arclight Films is pleased to announce that we will again be joining you at Sundance with two of our films selected for this year's festival: SLIPSTREAM, a mind-bending thriller written, directed and starring Anthony Hopkins and Christian Slater; and NOISE, from exciting new director Matthew Saville, which tells the story a young cop, beset with doubt and afflicted with tinnitus (ear-ringing), who is pitched into the chaos that follows a mass murder on a suburban train...
We will be in attendance and would love to meet with you, so If you would like to schedule a meeting with either Gary Hamilton, Jonathan Deckter or Ying Ye to discuss any of our titles, please contact Mark Padilla at mark@arclightfilms.com. |

Slipstream is the debut into independent filmmaking by Academy Award-winning actor Anthony Hopkins. If it is ever possible to sense the liberation and creative passion unleashed by such a newfound freedom, we can experience it with Hopkins's inventive and multilayered work. The film features a sterling ensemble cast, including Christian Slater, John Turturro, Stella Arroyave, Jeffrey Tambor, and Hopkins himself. Aided by acclaimed cinematographer Dante Spinotti and celebrated costume designer Julie Weiss, Hopkins takes on us an incredible journey into the combustion of a writer's mind and the nature of the creative process.
At times, this film appears to be a conventional, concrete, and straightforward tale about a screenwriter, Felix Bonhoffer. Then it turns riotously hallucinogenic, taking off on tangents and down rabbit holes into dream worlds and streams of consciousness. As the characters from the writer's fictional universe begin to appear in his "real" world, the audience starts questioning the limits of the human brain. We are given an opportunity to see into the vortex of a creative mind fulminating in "madness."
With a structured elegance, at times an overwhelmingly visceral kinesthesia, overflowing with film and artistic references, Hopkins announces he is a filmmaker with an unwaveringly artistic vision on a mission into the ineffable.
Director: Anthony Hopkins
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Christian Slater, John Turturro, Fionnula Flannigan, Kevin McCarthy, Stella Arroyave, Gavin Grazer, Lisa Pepper, Lana Antonova

This is a story about the wrong person in the right place at the wrong time. Two heinous crimes have left a suburban town reeling. Police quickly connect them but are desperate for witnesses as the local community enfolds itself in a shroud of secrecy, borne from fear and an untrammeled mistrust of authority.
A young police constable, Graham McGahan, suffers from a chronic hearing problem and applies for worker's compensation. To his chagrin, he is stationed at a police caravan near the crime scene. Living on the periphery of the investigation, McGahan crosses paths with the various people affected by the tragedies and uncovers an unraveling nightmare of guilt and suspicion.
Writer/director Matthew Saville utilizes exquisite sound and production design to bring to life his astonishing script. Saville shifts the police thriller genre away from the familiar and onto the fringe with a fascinating effect. Rather than following the killer or the investigating officers, Noise looks at the ramifications of the events on the everyday people. This perspective creates a far richer exploration of what it means to be a hero or a victim. Noise fuses art and genre as well as any film in recent memory to construct a humanistic portrait of a flawed man searching for a thread of hope.
Director: Matthew Saville
Cast: Brendan Cowell, Maia Thomas, Henry Nixon, Nicholas Bell
