FILM SCHEDULE
MINE
“Credit helmer Geralyn Pezanoski and editor Jen Bradwell for clarity and pep in telling an ultimately inspirational story chock-a-block with activists, rescuers, owners, and volunteers.” Eddie Cockrell, Variety. Mine is the powerful story about the essential bond between humans and animals told against the backdrop of one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history, Hurricane Katrina.
80 minutes
DANCING ACROSS BORDERS
On a trip to Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia, in January 2000, filmmaker Anne Bass came across a sixteen-year-old boy who moved her immensely with his amazing natural charm and grace as a dancer. A longtime devotee of the world of dance, Bass felt compelled to give this young boy the opportunity to leave his home and follow a dream. From the serene countryside of Southeast Asia to the halls of New York’s School of American Ballet to the stage of the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, Dancing Across Borders is a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of dance and chronicles the intimate and triumphant story of a boy who was discovered, and who, in turn, discovered all that he had in himself.
THE ART OF THE STEAL
“The Art of the Steal is a smoothly assembled talking-head account of art commerce and art as commerce—how the rural, education-focused Barnes Foundation lost its squillion-dollar Post-Impressionist-heavy collection to Philly.” Nicholas Rapold, The New York Times. Informative and fascinating, this compelling documentary follows the struggle for control of Dr. Albert C. Barnes’s 25-billion-dollar collection of Modern and Post-Impressionist art.
A TOWN CALLED PANIC
“To really understand the zany and surreal comic madness of A Town Called Panic, you’re going to have to see it for yourself.” Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times.
Animated plastic toys like Cowboy, Indian, and Horse have problems, too. Cowboy and Indian’s plan to surprise Horse with a homemade birthday gift backfires when they destroy his house instead. Surreal adventures take over as the trio travels to the center of the earth, trek across frozen tundra, and discover a parallel underwater universe where pointy-headed (and dishonest!) creatures live. A Town Called Panic is zany, brainy and altogether insane-y!
VINCERE
“Momentous events require suitably powerful storytelling, which vet helmer Marco Bellocchio delivers in Vincere, the little-known story of Benito Mussolini’s ill-fated first wife and son. Conceived as grand opera set inside delineated space, it’s a thrilling, at times brilliant piece of staging that never forgets the emotional pull of either the tragic personal tale or the ramifications of history.” Jay Weissberg, Variety.
GIRL ON THE TRAIN
Belgian filmmaker André Téchiné’s latest drama focuses on a young woman who claims she was the target of an anti-Semitic attack and the subsequent media sensation it creates.
