142 FILMS A – Z [W] The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival GEORGE GUND III MEMORIAL CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN FILM COMPETITION JEWISH AND ISRAELI VISIONS, MUSIC! MOVIES! PACIFIC PEARLS When Day Breaks (Kad Svane Dan) Directed by Goran Paskaljević SERBIA, CROATIA, FRANCE 2012 90 minutes Wednesday, April 10 Thursday, April 11 11:20 AM I Code DAYB10 6:20 PM I Code DAYB11 Sunday, April 14 12:10 PM I Code DAYB14 One day retired music professor Misha Brankov receives a letter requesting him to contact the Jewish Museum in Belgrade. There he learns that during an excavation at the city’s Old Fairgrounds (previously the site of an infamous concentration camp where some 7,000 Serbian Jews and Gypsies perished during the Second World War) an iron box was found. The box contains personal documents and an unfinished musical score. It belonged to the composer Isaac Weiss, a concentration camp inmate in 1941. Eventually, the professor discovers that when he was an infant, his real parents, the Weisses, entrusted him to their friends, the Brankovs, just before they were taken into the camp. The initial shock of the professor’s discovery in WHEN DAY BREAKS gives way to a determination to fulfill the shattered dreams that he has inherited. It is something that infuses him with new purpose and provides him with a second lease on life.

Based on the true story of a young man executed for murders he was never proven to have committed, the film is a scathing look into China’s corrupt legal system. It follows the mother of the accused, as she suffers through the experience, and deals with her own issues with the law. After her son is taken into custody, she’s shipped off to a mental hospital, forced to sign documents without a lawyer, and then held for 143 days. After her release, she desperately fights for her son’s release, gaining interest from activists. Her son’s only previous crime was riding an unlicensed bicycle—hardly a logical basis for his conviction. She bravely confronts the court, condemning the hearings as a sham. But her admirable efforts are thwarted by a system uninterested with facts or justice. Actress Nai An gives an incredible performance as a determined mother achingly rendered defenseless in the beautifully shot WHEN NIGHT FALLS. (In Mandarin with subtitles) —E.F.

Father Nicolas (played daringly by Belgian actor Jeremie Renier) and Father Julian work side-by-side in these slums to help build the hospital for the community. Facing gang wars between drug cartels and a bureaucratic church trying to politicize the martyrdom of famed comrade Father Carlos Mujica, the priests find themselves in an uphill battle as they try to navigate their mission in a war zone. While Julian battles an illness, Nicolas is shadowed by survivor’s guilt and his new affection for the social worker Luciana (the mesmerizing Martina Gusman). With superb ensemble acting and inspired direction by Trapero, WHITE ELEPHANT is a powerful and poignant drama of faith and spirituality. As the powers against the brave men come to a head, it becomes more and more clear that, in this world, men of faith must also be men of strength. (In Spanish with subtitles) —T.W. Producers~Juan Gordon, Pablo Trapero, Juan Pablo Gallis, Juan Vera, Alejandro Cacetta Screenwriting~Alejandro Fadel, Martín Mauregui, Santiago Mitre, Pablo Trapero Cinematography~Guillermo Nieto Editing~Pablo Trapero, Nacho Ruiz Capillas Principal Cast~Ricardo Darín, Jérémie Renier, Martina Gusman Print Source~Strand Releasing / brandon@strandreleasing.com / www.strandreleasing.com About the Director~Born in Buenos Aires, Pablo Trapero has been nominated for nearly 30 major film awards, making him one of the most decorated directors in Latin America.

WHITE TIGER is the ultimate Nazi killing machine—a giant tank that materializes out of nowhere and obliterates Soviet troops, leaving in its wake the charred corpses of men and machines. A tank operator is pried out of the wreckage of one such battle, 90% of his body burned. Left by medics to die, he heals miraculously. With no memory of his previous life, he knows only that WHITE TIGER must be killed. Like Captain Ahab after Moby Dick or Quint after the White Shark, the tank man single-mindedly pursues his prey. Preternaturally calm in the face of horrifying battles, he’s a tank whisperer who hears the armor-clad giants speak. His comrades believe he burned to death and was reborn as a soldier ideally suited for war. Russia’s entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards ® combines magic realism with authentic battle scenes. (In Russian and German with subtitles) —B.B.
