Preemed at Locarno, winner of the Film Critic's Award at the Hamburg Filmfest, Alex Stockman's gripping Pulsar, the Belgian filmmaker's sophomore feature taps into the terrifying phobia of technology with this thriller. This is about Samuel (Matthias Schoenaerts), who works in Brussels as a pharmaceutical delivery man, while his girlfriend has found a prestigious job in New York. The internet is the only way they can keep their long distance relationship going -- this provides for a little sanity and security but doesn't do much for the loneliness and dissatisfaction in his life. When Samuel's internet connection is hacked, it derails this fragile equilibrium and he ends up fighting the invisible enemy who's bound to steal his identity and destroy his already strained relationship. Stockman reevaluates the role of online technology in ours daily lives as it both falsely unites and disconnects people from true interactions. I got to...

Computers have blessed society in many ways, from communication to accessibility of information. But as far advanced as the technology has gotten, they are still dangerous machines. Every minute of every day, people trust that the content they keep on their computer is safe and for their eyes only, but viruses, hackers and network infiltrators find their way in every day. Anyone with awareness of this fact is likely at least a little paranoid, and it.s that terror that writer/director Alex Stockman uses as fuel for his thriller Pulsar. Set in Brussels, Belgium, Sam (Matthias Schoenaerts) watches as his long time girlfriend, Mireille (Tine Van den Wyngaert), move to New York to pursue a job at an architecture firm. He misses her dearly and is they keep in touch using webcam chats, but a problem arises when Sam discovers that someone has found access into his wireless network.

Kudos to the AFI Fest for setting up an important sidebar that will expose the best that the next generation of filmmakers have to offer. Bumping up their crop of exciting new auteur cinema, sections labeled "Young Americans" and "New Auteurs" (Cannes heavy) are showcases you'll want to keep an eye on - I can vouch on a good chunk of titles already selected. Among the half dozen included names in "Young Americans" section we find a pair of filmmakers in Alistair Banks Griffin and David Robert Mitchell who were included in our own American New Wave 25 feature this summer. Two Gates Of Sleep, one of my top discoveries of the year from this year's Cannes will finally receive its North American premiere. Filling out the section, we also have the North American premiere for the Locarno preemed Kitao Sakurai's Aardvark (Sakurai was the cinematographer on You Wont Miss...
