'Clouds of Sils Maria' official synopsis & market poster
Click pic for larger view.
Synopsis:
At the peak of her international career, Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche) is asked to perform in a revival of the play that made her famous twenty years ago. But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena.
She departs with her assistant (Kristen Stewart) to rehearse in Sils Maria; a remote region of the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Chloë Grace Moretz) is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.

IFC Films Acquires North American Rights to "Camp X-Ray"
IFC Films announced today that the company is acquiring North American rights to Peter Sattler’s directorial debut film CAMP X-RAY. The film, with a screenplay by Sattler, stars Kristen Stewart, Payman Maadi and Lane Garrison, and was produced by Gina Kwon, and executive produced by Emmy Ellison, Lindsay Williams, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, David Gordon Green and Sophia Lin. The film made its world premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. Dramatic Competition section.
In the film, a young woman (Stewart) joins the military to be part of something bigger than herself and her small town roots, but ends up as a rookie guard at Guantanamo Bay. Her mission is far from black and white, as she is surrounded by hostile jihadists and aggressive male squadmates. When she strikes up an unusual friendship with one of the detainees (A Separation‘s Maadi), both of their worlds are forever shifted. Written and directed by Peter Sattler, CAMP X-RAYis a deeply human story of two people, on opposite sides of a war, trapped and struggling to find a way to live together.
“Peter Sattler has made a stirring, sensitive and thought-provoking film that features two powerhouse performances by Payman Maadi and Kristen Stewart,” says Jonathan Sehring, president of Sundance Selects/IFC Films. “Maadi proves once again that he is a force to be reckoned with and Stewart undoubtedly gives the best and most moving performance of her already remarkable career.”
The deal for the film was negotiated by Arianna Bocco, SVP of Acquisitions and Productions, at Sundance Selects/IFC Films, with UTA Independent Film Group and André Des Rochers, Esq. of Gray Krauss Stratford Sandler Des Rochers LLP on behalf of the filmmakers.
IFC Films is a sister label to IFC Midnight and Sundance Selects, and is owned and operated by AMC Networks Inc.

Lane Garrison mentions Kristen
“We shot at this abandoned prison outside Los Angeles in Whittier, California. That’s where we shot the bulk of the movie. The facility had been abandoned, and they say it’s among the most haunted places in America. Kristen [Stewart] definitely believed it was haunted; it had an eerie vibe to it, and I think that definitely helped us on set.
I brought my golf clubs to set every day. Kristen’s an amazing athlete, so we set up a driving range outside the prison and we would each hit 100 golf balls a day. She’s got a perfect swing. We’d do that in between scenes just to clear our heads because the material was so heavy.”

Fan photos of Kristen in Paris - 4 February
Fan encounter: @WarriorKristen
We arrived around 7 pm there and they were nobody, no papz, not her car with her driver & bodyguard, but we were sure it was there. Actually after waiting some minutes, people went in and out of the photoshoot studio and it confirmed that Kristen was really in it because they talked to us and they were so surprised we knew that Kristen was there with Karl for a photoshoot hahaha. They told us that she would have finished in a really long time so two of our friends couldn't stay late they went back home, then we were 3! I have to tell you that during all the evening we waited, Chanel's work team and Karl Lagarfield, himself, were so nice and caring, they always told us 'you have lots of courage to wait in the cold guys' 'aren't you freezing too much?' each time they went out and Karl came out to say hi to us and he told us 'don't get a cold girls' haha and he thought it was cute we were waiting for Kristen! I have a really good memories of the waiting even though we were dying because of the cold!
We really ordered a pizza in the street hahaha because we were hungry i never did that! Anyways finally around midnight 30 the photoshoot ended all the people went out, the set of the photoshoot was removed from the studio and all ! Suzie went out a little bit too happy (i think she was a bit drunk) so cute and talked with one her friend who arrived few minutes before. We waited, we were stressed because we thought it was too late for Kristen to stop for us, it began to rain and all, we were so anxious!!
And finally around 1 am Kristen, Ruth (her publicst for those who don't know her and are reading haha) and another girl i don't know (but she was a part of her staff) went out and just stopped right in front of us !!! The first thing that the unknown girl said was 'do you have things to make her sign' we didn't even reply because we were starstruck by Kristen !! First thing my friend Wallys said was 'Oh my god Kristen, i love your make-up' and Kristen was so shy and said 'um thanks' haha with a cute smile :') Then we immediately told her 'Kristen we are so glad to finally be able to talk to you after all this time seeing you" and Wallys started to tell how excited she was for Camp X Ray and myself i told her how excited i was for Sils Maria and how we are proud of her and how she is amazing, Berenice told her she was so talented, she asked 'you waited all the afternoon for me here?' we said yes kinda and she said 'ohh you waited for so long for me' she was worrying about us omg, we told her that we love her and she wasn't moving i was like 'isn't she supposed to go in her car right now' haha and Ruth said 'girls do you want a picture with her' and i said 'that'd be completely amazing but we don't want to bother you' Kristen said 'no sure no problem' and i took my camera in my bag and Ruth immediately took the camera from my hands as i was about to give it to Wallys so she could my pics haha
I went just near Kristen and like Kristen asked me 'which side you want to be my right, my left?' i was like speechless and thinking in my head 'i dont really care Kristen, you're the queen you choose i'm not supposed to have a choice' and Kristen took me by the shoulders and put me on her left. The unknown assistant or Ruth i don't remember said 'so i've heard you ordered a pizza' and we said yes we did and Kristen said 'oh that's so cool' haha she's so cute ! Of course, when we tried to take a pic my camera flash was not working, so Ruth was embarrassed and i tried to put the flash but i didn't succeed, we tried 4 times with the camera for the pics, me, Berenice & Wallys excused ourselves so much because we noticed Kristen was freezing and she was like 'don't worry about it man it is totally fine' and Ruth told me do you have an iphone i said yes i have i gave it to her while she gave my camera to the unknown assistant lol and just when Ruth took the pic with my iphone, the unknown assistant made my camera flash worked so ruth took the camera back and so without thinking i thought 'ohmygod she's gonna take a second pic' and so i asked 'can we do like funny face picture?' and Kristen was kinda surprised i think and said 'oh yeah!' haha and we took a funny pics haha
Then, she took a pic with Berenice & Wallys i remember they asked if we were friends and could take it on the same camera i said "we were great friends, nothing to worry" haha
Then, we thanked kristen sooooo much, wishing her a good stay in paris she was like 'no problem guys' she waved and just when she got in the car Wallys said 'oh and susie, happy late birthday' and i Suzie smiled so big and said thanks and they all laughed :')
AND THAT WAS IT! I was in the street, shaking, i couldn't believe what happened, we were all like 'oh my god, oh my god, oh my god' JUST THE BEST MOMENT EVER ! Kristen is SO nice & natural, down-to-earth, just the way all of us, fans, see her though our screen, she's the same as in interview, or on TV, i mean she doesn't change her attitude, she's amazing, and nice, and she loves us, she cares about us, the FANS, she is much more beautiful in real (yes it is true) but we already knew that! SHE IS JUST PERFECT, I DON'T THINK IT IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE SHE WAS ALREADY MY EVERYTHING, BUT I LOVE HER EVEN MORE NOW! Also, I was fucking surprised by Ruth who was completely ADORABLE omg and I noticed that Suzie was the sweetest on monday haha she is still so sweet even if she is kinda drunk haha
New Pictures & Interview for Balenciaga's Rosabotanica Press Junket
.jpg)
We sat down to talk with Stewart about her role with Balenciaga and yes, those sultry photos. Dressed in head-to-toe Spring 2014 Balenciaga — including the most insanely gorgeous rose-gold cuff/work of art — Stewart was frank, candid, and totally down to dish. Besides letting those gossip sites know what she really thinks about clickbait headlines, Stewart also dished on everything from her undying love of dry shampoo to her thoughts on mastering effortless style. She also shared her secret to the smudged-just-right liner look. Hint: It doesn't involve a billion makeup brushes and some crazy-complicated 10-step technique.
What do you love best about working with a brand like Balenciaga?
"If I wasn’t in the position that I’m in, I don’t think that I’d be able to find these sides of myself. I’m a pretty basic, practical dresser. But, you know at the same time when I go to an event or participate in a photo shoot or am involved with something like this, it can really make me aware that I have those things in me somewhere.
"I have no creative involvement in this whatsoever. But, the reason I’m into this is that I get to stand by and watch people who are really good at what they do and who really do what they do because it’s the love of their lives; it’s the art that they make. It’s not about a product — a lot of fashion can seem business oriented. And, this just has always felt really organic and in a really cool way, really compulsive.
"Nicolas [Ghesquière] always gave me that impression and then asked me to do this with him. I really appreciated being thrown into his world. Not everyone has such an elaborate story or idea behind their fragrance. It’s just like it smells nice or it’s a beautiful picture. And, that’s cool, too, but this was just a little bit more intriguing."
We've got to talk about the ads — they're a bit revealing. Did you have any trepidation or nervousness about being exposed like that?
"No, it’s funny. The concept was never centered around any naked idea. It was always like we want to have something really simple, and we like the character that we had in mind who was this wide-eyed, young, fresh girl in this sort of extreme environment and seeing how she copes with those elements.
"This idea was seeing that she is stripped down a bit but like much more conditioned and sort of one with the environment. And, it’s sort of grown into her, and she’s grown into it. [It's] the idea of making it all about the imagery and all about the idea of a fragrance rather than the clothes, because as soon as you put something [on], it’s a little distracting. It was never about my body, it was just about like, face. It’s just so weird… But, do you know why? [Website] clicks. I mean straight up — that’s so obvious."
You have this great, effortless look about you. Do you have any sort of beauty secrets to getting that kind of easy, low-maintenance glam?
"It’s funny — really the only way to look like you’re not trying is to genuinely not. But...specifically, I guess dry shampoo is a godsend."
Do you have a favorite?
"I like Bumble and bumble. I like the loose powder, I don’t like the spray. I think just staying healthy, because if you want to look thrown together and you don’t want to try, I think it’s, you know, drink a lot of water, get sleep, and then you can have a sort of rolled-out-of-bed look without looking awful."
What about your personal style? Any tips to low-maintenance chic dressing?
"I'm such an L.A. kid. I always forget to wear socks — I'll be outside, like, 'Oh my god, I'm freezing!' I feel so un-chic. I feel like that's kind of my thing. Like, 'Oh, whatever, I'm gonna go to Paris, but I'm not gonna change my T-shirt.' But, I don't really approach it too much in my daily life. I have things that I gravitate towards, like I like things to look worn in... I don't really put too much thought into it."
One thing we've been loving lately about the red carpet is how we've moved away from this cookie-cutter notion of beauty — tanned, blonde, glamour waves, red lips — and are starting to see much more celebration of unconventional beauty. What are your thoughts on that?
"I think it's awesome. As soon as you start viewing all of this as anything more than just something fun and creative to do, and you feel like there are notes you have to hit to satisfy a certain thing, then why are you even doing it? You should be driven by something that you admire. You should be driven by impulses that are, you know, like experimentation. You should mess with things and find it naturally rather than trying to create this product.
"I feel bad for people who feel like they operate from this place of fear when you really should be risky and make mistakes. The happy mistake is always the one that's the best, when you go, 'Whoa, that is just different. I've never seen that, and she is rocking it.' I'd rather be around people that love what they do and that are really good and really artistic rather than, like, technically pretty looks. Pretty is never what you want to go for."
If you could do anything with your hair, not for a role but just for you personally, what would you do?
"I would like to chop it sometime soon. Everyone’s doing that, but it must feel really good. I had short hair when I was younger, and then it took me sort of so long to get to this point, I’ve held on to it. But, I would love to have a very straightforward boy cut… Everyone’s short hair looks great. I like the trend a lot, but there’s a cute aspect that I would like to get rid of and, like, have a dude’s haircut."
Like an androgynous cut or straight-up "boy" hair?
"Straight up like a guy’s haircut."
Would you consider doing a shaved sides thing like Natalie Dormer?
"I love that look. I like a buzz with long [hair]. I think it’d look great like that. Yeah, I would do that. I’m really into different looks. I need to keep slightly neutral because I always fear that I’m gonna sign on to a project, and I’m not going to be in a position to look how I want to look. So, I’m always a little bit scared to go extreme, but I love extreme."
Your signature look with your hair is that whole no-part, swept-back thing. Is that a look you had to cultivate or did it just kind of happen?
"That’s totally how I’m more comfortable. I think center parts are awesome. They look great on a lot of people. But, there’s a rigidity to it that makes me a little uncomfortable. I really like to be able to move around, and if you just texture your hair right, you can do anything and you don’t have to worry about it. I just had a center part in a movie that I did. It was really hard for me to keep it all day, too. I was just constantly wanting to be like, 'Ugh!'"
You look really fantastic with a smoky eye, and you do it really confidently. You’ve managed to just nail it where a lot of people just can’t get it. What draws you to that look?
"Probably that I don’t wear a whole lot of makeup when I’m not working. So, when I do, I like to really push it. And, also it’s that same thing: If you’re going to do something, if you're going to work with a makeup artist, I want to work with someone who’s really pushing it and doing bold things and not playing it safe.
"The cool thing about walking a carpet, if you want to reap the benefits, you get to do something that you wouldn’t normally do. So, instead of being like, okay, I’m going to appease these people, I’m going to be pretty — you probably won’t appease that many people if you’re just pretty. Just forget that and have fun with it. I like things looking a little bit more, not just lived in, but like a little messed up, rough around the edges. I don’t mind that."
Be honest, do you put the eyeliner on and just go to bed and wear it the next day, or do you actually do it and smudge it?
"Oh, both. Definitely, absolutely. I try to wash my face before I go to bed, but I don’t own eye-makeup remover. Not at all."
How do you get it off?
"I just make sure it’s out from under my eyes and then it looks great. There’s usually maybe one or two things you just have to wipe off. Instant smoky eye."
Why do you think an element of effortlessness and undoneness is so important to your particular aesthetic?
"It sort of goes along with everything that we’re saying. It’s just not very interesting for me to consume what somebody has decided to give me. I want to notice things myself — when I really admire someone’s style or someone’s work in any way, it’s always things that you’re like, 'Wow, I wonder if they know how cool that is? I wonder if they are aware how good that song is' — you know what I mean? It's typically more interesting if they don’t. Rather than being like, 'Oh, yeah, I really worked on that, I really thought about it.
"Obviously it really goes along with not being contrived, and in this business, as soon as you start taking credit for things, you’re now denying what makes it so beautiful. Which is that it’s natural; it’s an organic thing, it’s the process. You rely on the process, you have a creative impulse, you follow it. You can't really take credit for it, it kind of goes through you. So, that’s why, when people sort of look like they don’t give a fuck, it’s cool. It’s just like that’s classic. That’s always going to be cool."
