108 FILMS A – Z [L] The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival GREG GUND MEMORIAL STANDING UP FILM COMPETITION PAN-AFRICAN IMAGES 10% CINEMA The Last White Knight Directed by Paul Saltzman USA, CANADA 2012 78 minutes Saturday, April 6 Sunday, April 7 12:15 PM I Code LAST06 7:40 PM I Code LAST07 The courtly older Southern gentleman expresses pleasure at seeing the off-screen interviewer again. But as he cheerfully describes his life philosophies, you might feel a jolt. This astonishingly forthright man is Delay de la Beckwith, Ku Klux Klan member “unto death” and son of Byron de la Beckwith, who murdered civil rights leader Medgar Evers in Greenwood, Mississippi in 1963. Filmmaker Paul Saltzman, Beckwith’s conversation partner, is no stranger to this man; Beckwith punched him in the nose when he was working to register black voters in 1965. Though their physical animosity has waned, neither has changed their attitude, and the two now engage in an extraordinarily “civil” dialogue. The film incorporates fascinating interviews with humanitarians including Harry Belafonte and Morgan Freeman; meanwhile, three current masked Klan members calmly explain their views. A brilliant look at racial hatred past and present, it is clear that Beckwith is anything but THE LAST WHITE NIGHT. Note: Interviewees make extensive use of racial epithets. —B.B. Producers~Paul Saltzman, Patricia Aquino Screenwriting~Paul Saltzman Cinematography~Bongo, Paul Saltzman Editing~David Ransley Print Source~1296 Productions / paul@sfl-films.com / www.movingbeyondprejudice.com About the Director~Paul Saltzman is a Canadian Emmy Award-winning film and television producer-director with more than 300 TV films to his credit.

Filmography~“Prom Night in Mississippi” (2009)—33rd CIFF, THE LAST WHITE NIGHT (2012) Community Partners: Laurence Anyways Directed by Xavier Dolan CANADA 2012 168 minutes Friday, April 12 Saturday, April 13 4:00 PM I Code LAUR12 5:55 PM I Code LAUR13 Laurence appears happy. He’s a respected teacher and his lover Frederica (Fred for short) adores him. But Laurence isn’t happy…as a man. Laurence tells Fred that he is a woman imprisoned in his body. Fred is devastated, but after the shock fades she makes a startling and unexpected decision: the two of them will make this journey together. That journey is the heart of this extraordinary film. LAURENCE ANYWAYS sets itself apart by devoting equal time to both Laurence and Fred. Laurence begins the terrifying process of stepping out as a woman-in-progress. Fred is also a woman-in-progress, supporting Laurence while facing the ridicule of her family and the world-at-large. With an exuberant and visually poetic style, LAURENCE ANYWAYS whirls about these stories. The film luxuriates in telling detail, and its cast of memorable characters remind us how harshly the world judges those who think differently. Your heart will go with them as they stumble toward becoming the women they are meant to be. (In French with subtitles) —C.R.

By himself. With no money. And his wheelchair. Relentlessly upbeat, Albert’s insistence on living the life he dreams of has lead him on a globetrotting whirlwind adventure covering five years of his life. His newest journey will take him across the globe, literally, to the very spot that is farthest from his home in Spain: a lighthouse in New Zealand. This trip, however, will include his girlfriend and will take him nearly 200 days. Happy-go-lucky is Albert’s meal ticket as he hitchhikes across foreign lands, stays with welcoming strangers, and seemingly smiles across 30,000 km of Earth. Albert isn’t just the subject of this road trip film, he is the tour guide for the audience, taking us on a journey of enlightenment that can only be attained through a young man paralyzed by leukemia but energized by life. Intoxicating and triumphant, Albert shows us all that life is what you make of it. And if your dreams are big enough, it truly is a LITTLE WORLD. (In English and Catalán with subtitles) —T.W.

At age 13, Aleksandar returned home from vacation in Serbia to find that he was no longer recognized as a citizen. It took 20 years before he could enter the country again. Katrina was a college student at the time, losing her apartment, legal papers, and even her parents during the ordeal. Bosnian-born Nisveta struggled for her daughter who, for the first two years of her life, was seen as nonexistent by her country. Over 20,000 people were affected by the cruel and senseless legislation. Though it was ruled unconstitutional by Slovenia’s Constitutional Court in 1999, it is estimated that over 6,000 people are still fighting for legal status. THE LONG VACATION articulately explores the devastating impact the law had on innocent Slovenians. By documenting their incredible stories, the film ensures that they will never be erased again.
