DRESS<br />
Opening Night Party (Nov 6) is Hollywood<br />
Festive (meaning, don’t dress like<br />
a bum, but be comfortable).<br />
The Chairman’s Brunch & Cruise is tres<br />
casual, if its warm, dress cool...white is<br />
always nice.<br />
The M*A*S*H Party (Nov 11) is a time<br />
to breakout your old Korean War duds.<br />
Improvise & party like its 1952.<br />
The Chairman’s Awards Gala (Nov 21)<br />
at Diplomat is also a time to look like<br />
you can afford the $250 ticket price.<br />
Elsewhere, dress up, dress down…<br />
whatever you like to do, just be comfortable<br />
and you’ll feel fine.<br />

west of Cinema Paradiso)...You<br />
can also park for free at any street<br />
meter surrounding Cinema Paradiso all<br />

Meter Maids are ravenous. We suggest<br />
the garage which, to them, is like<br />
sunlight to a vampire.<br />
Cinema Paradiso-Hollywood: Park free<br />
for 3 hours on the street during the day.<br />
If you park at or after 5pm, parking on<br />
the street is free. Great for taking advantage<br />
of all the bistros. Also two<br />
large public garages within 5 mins walk<br />
at just $1/hour.<br />
Sunrise Civic Center: Park for free in<br />
acres of street level parking lots immediately<br />
surrounding Civic Ctr.<br />

RULES<br />
Not a lot of them…pretty simple:<br />
1) Turn off your cellphones during the film.<br />
2) Don’t even text in the theatre during<br />
the film…its annoying.<br />
3) Can’t abide by those two…please<br />
just stay home and watch television.<br />
4) Also no videotaping during film<br />
(everyone knows that).<br />
5) Be courteous to other members of<br />
the audience…and sure, while we’re at<br />
it, what the hay, the staff too!<br />

The 30th Annual Fort Lauderdale<br />
International Film Festival is dedicated<br />
to our friend, collaborator,<br />
sponsor and past Board member,<br />
Peter Langone. Back in the mid<br />
90’s, Phil Goldfarb, then of Doubletree<br />
and Vice Chair of FLIFF, nominated<br />
Peter for the Board. Peter, in<br />
his signature untucked t-shirt, blue<br />
jeans, bedraggled hair and swarthy<br />
Italian complexion seemed at first incongruous<br />
choice with his unedited<br />
speech, dropping F-bombs at meetings<br />
followed by his hearty laugh<br />
and infectious smile. In spite of his<br />
style, or perhaps because of it, he<br />
quickly won over all...and that was<br />
before he began contributing to<br />
FLIFF his captivating art.<br />
His first poster was created from<br />
a photo shoot on Fort Lauderdale<br />
Beach in 1998 featuring a golden<br />
sun splashing the surf, sand, a director’s<br />
chair and two models (Bonnie Leigh Adams and Patricia<br />
Como) soaking it all in. Over the years Peter went on to shoot<br />
nine posters and commercials. Peter also wowed our celebrities<br />
doing private sittings with Jane Lynch, Matt Damon, George<br />
Hamilton, Dennis Haysbert, Jeremy Renner, Paul Sorvino, and<br />
many more. Gallery owner and close friend of Peter’s, Larry<br />
Clemons is framing all of the celebrity shots and we will create a<br />
permanent Langone Gallery in Cinema Paradiso – Lauderdale.<br />
★ FESTIVAL DEDICATION ★<br />
PETER LANGONE<br />
Peter joined us in Cannes on two<br />
of our trips in the 90’s. What a<br />
hoot! One evening, walking along<br />
the Rue d’Antibes, which is sort of<br />
the Las Olas of Cannes, for some<br />
reason I pointed out a suntan lotion<br />
poster of a girl on the beach of St<br />
Tropez lit up in a Pharmacie window.<br />
Peter remarked, Jesus, I<br />
took that shot nearly fifteen years<br />
ago, can’t believe they are still<br />
using it. Lots of stories here regarding<br />
gendarmes, castles, movie<br />
stars and mussels. Peter loved the<br />
food, wine, women, architecture,<br />
ambiance of Cannes...which is a<br />
long way of saying, Peter loved<br />
life...everywhere.<br />
In 2001, Bonnie and I married in<br />
Key West. Peter came but we hired<br />
a local photographer for the small<br />
event, so Peter could just have fun.<br />
He brought his little Nikon Cool Pix<br />
just for snapshots. The local photographer turned out to be a disaster...and<br />
Peter with his toy camera saved the day (there is more<br />
story here that I will tell after a glass of wine...or two).<br />
Artistically, no one during my 27 FLIFF years has contributed<br />
as much to the Film Festival. Peter was one of a kind...was he a<br />
saint, no, he wasn’t. He was fun, loving, lovable, talented and totally<br />
unique. We can’t replace him, but we’ll never forget him.<br />
Gregory von Hausch<br />
WITH MARC ANTHONY WITH GARY SINISE WITH RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN<br />
FLIFF will hold a Celebration of Peter's Life on<br />
Tuesday, November 10, 5:30pm at Cinema Paradiso - Lauderdale.<br />
all of Peter's close friends are invited.<br />

Peter Langone, Photographer/Director<br />
September 7, 1949 - August 12, 2015<br />
Peter Langone a world renowned photographer<br />
and long time resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida<br />
passed away on Aug 12th, 2015. He was 65 years<br />
old. The cause of death was cancer.<br />
Born and raised in NYC and a Florida resident<br />
beginning at age 19, Mr. Langone established himself<br />
as a world class photographer with assignments<br />
taking him around the world multiple times.<br />
His personality was bigger than life. He loved people<br />
and every aspect of life, and a photograph of<br />
him cannot be found without a smile on his face.<br />
His clients included Mercedes-Benz, Coca-<br />
Cola, Anheuser Busch, AT&T, Fox Sports, Nestle<br />
and many more. His creative interpretation and<br />
ability to evoke the true personality of the celebrities<br />
he photographed have resulted in sessions<br />
with Donald Trump, Marc Anthony, Matt Damon,<br />
Jeremy Renner, Paul Sorvino, Dennis Haysbert,<br />
Venus Williams, Tiger Woods, Emeril Lagasse,<br />
President Ford, Senator Graham, and the original<br />
Miami Vice stars Don Johnson, Phillip Michael<br />
Thomas and James Olmos, just to name a few.<br />
His directorial work included film shorts and<br />
commercials for Budweiser, Burlington Coat,<br />
Brazilian Court, Esplanade Mall, The Fort Lauderdale<br />
International Film Festival and more.<br />
Mr. Langone was a major supporter and artistic<br />
contributor of the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival and<br />
served on their board for a number of years.<br />
He published several Books and was exhibited<br />
at 7 Galleries. His commercial work included hundreds<br />
of print campaigns for multinational companies<br />
including Automobile Manufacturers, Airlines,<br />
Food Producers, Beverage Companies, Hotels,<br />
Resorts, and Cruise Lines.<br />

Film Lovers,<br />
Thirty years went by so quick but seemed to take forever...<br />
The films are the comets. In February, they are out in the cosmos,<br />
burning a journey of light years with FLIFF ahead in their path. They arrive,<br />
delight and speed on in their futures, some to become stars (ROGER<br />
& ME, THE PIANO, SHINE, ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, VOLVER, SILVER<br />
LININGS PLAYBOOK...), others to extinguish all their fuel and drift<br />
anonymously in the recesses of our memories.<br />
The celebrities too, take months of negotiations to pin down and<br />
secure and we have been blessed with a constellation of bright lights<br />
(Richard Attenborough, John Frankenheimer, Martin Scorsese, Claire<br />
Bloom, John Waters, Kevin Spacey, Michael Moore...see above).<br />
Sponsors are the suns and moons that control our tides. We take care<br />
to nurture and keep our telescopes on their orbits so the tides will ebb and<br />
flow on schedule. It often feels as if our long ellipse following the midnight<br />
of one fest to the dawn of another, takes us off far from the warmth of our<br />
season. Without the on-going novas of our annual sponsors we would<br />
have been sucked into a black hole, well, three decades ago.<br />
Giving daily appearances, the lightning bugs, our members.<br />
Making an annual pledge of cash to keep our doors open, attending<br />
weekly, loving, laughing, critiquing, suggesting and at all times pulling<br />
for us to shine on. Some have been here as long as my 27 fests.<br />
Though it might seem like nature is at play here and FLIFF would<br />
just happen as the Autumn Moon begins to glow. Not so grasshopper.<br />
Pull back the wizard’s curtain and behold the many munchkins toiling<br />
night and day to keep our doors open 365 sunrise/sunsets a year.<br />
Michelle, Irwin, Janet, John, Jeanne, Erin, Ray, Lennie, Rudrick,<br />

★ LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD ★<br />
When one thinks of the talented<br />
Christopher Lloyd, some<br />
of the characters which might<br />
come to mind include Dr. Emmett<br />
Brown from Back to the<br />
Future, Fester Addams from<br />
The Addams Family and Reverend<br />
Jim Ignatowski from Taxi.<br />
He has appeared in over 200<br />
film and television productions<br />
and brings his own creativity<br />
and individuality to each of the<br />
unique roles he portrays.<br />
Mr. Lloyd graduated from<br />
high school in Connecticut and<br />
studied at the Neighborhood<br />
Playhouse in New York. Early<br />
in his career he performed with<br />
the Yale Repertory Theatre,<br />
and his Broadway credits include<br />
Red, White and Maddox<br />
and Happy End, an original musical<br />
with music by Kurt Weill<br />
and lyrics by Bertolt Brecht and<br />
co-starring Meryl Streep. He<br />
also starred in the highly acclaimed<br />
2002 Broadway revival<br />
of the comedy Morning’s at<br />
Seven in which he worked with former FLIFF honoree Piper<br />
Laurie and fellow 2015 FLIFF honoree Estelle Parsons. Reviewing<br />
the play for The New York Times, Ben Brantley wrote,<br />
“The words are given their full philosophical due by Christopher<br />
Lloyd, looking like a German Expressionist answer to Grant<br />
Wood's 'American Gothic.'”<br />
He made his film debut in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,<br />
the winner of the Oscar for Best Picture along with four other<br />
major Academy Awards. It has been reported his research for<br />
his character included spending time in a mental institution observing<br />
the patients, just one example of the diligence with which<br />
he approaches every character he portrays. Following Cuckoo’s<br />
Nest, Mr. Lloyd did a variety of film and television work, and<br />
some of his early credits include The Adams Chronicles, Goin’<br />
South, Butch and Sundance: The Early Days, the remake of The<br />
Postman Always Rings Twice, and such TV staples as Barney<br />
Miller and One Day at a Time.<br />
In 1978 Mr. Lloyd appeared on the hit television series, Taxi,<br />
CHRISTOPHER LLOYD<br />
as Reverend Jim Ignatowski,<br />
affectionately known as Iggy,<br />
and joined the popular ensemble<br />
cast eventually appearing<br />
in 84 episodes. His portrayal<br />
of this Woodstock-attending<br />
“man of the cloth” who, despite<br />
inheriting millions, lives in a<br />
condemned building won Mr.<br />
Lloyd two primetime Emmy<br />
Awards. Additionally, he won a<br />
third primetime Emmy for his<br />
work on Road to Avonlea.<br />
In 1985 he was cast as Doctor<br />
Emmett Brown in Back to<br />
the Future and portrayed “Doc<br />
Brown” in the film’s subsequent<br />
sequels, in video games and in<br />
the 1991-92 television series<br />
based on the movie. In its review<br />
of the first film, The Hollywood<br />
Reporter praised the<br />
younger talent, including<br />
Michael J. Fox, before surmising,<br />
“But it's Christopher Lloyd<br />
who walks away with the movie<br />
in a gloriously uncontrolled,<br />
fright-wigged performance that<br />
redefines the mad scientist for modern movie audiences.<br />
In the intervening years, Mr. Lloyd has alternated among<br />
the stage, television and film, seldom taking a break from acting.<br />
On television, he has appeared in a number of television<br />
films and has had recurring roles on a number of hit series.<br />
His film work includes major studio productions as well as<br />
smaller, independent films, and a sampling of his movie credits<br />
include Clue, Eight Men Out, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The<br />
Addams Family and its sequel, Dennis the Menace, Angels in<br />
the Outfield, Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead, My<br />
Favorite Martian, Piranha 3D and The Chateau Meroux. Mr.<br />
Lloyd’s character in Taxi was an avid Star Trek fan, so it was<br />
only fitting Mr. Lloyd played Commander Kruge in Star Trek III:<br />
The Search for Spock. Currently, he has three films and a television<br />
series in post-production and is bringing his newest<br />
feature film, The Boat Builder, to FLIFF in which he plays a<br />
somewhat bitter mariner who strikes up a bond with an unwanted<br />
orphan while building a boat.<br />
12<br />
Christopher Lloyd will receive the FLIFF 2015 Lifetime achievement award on Friday, November 6.<br />
Mr. Lloyd will attend the screening of his film, THe BoaT BuILdeR,<br />
on 8pm Friday, November 6 at Cinema Paradiso – Lauderdale.

THE BOAT BUILDER<br />
WORLD PREMIERE<br />
Director: Arnold Grossman<br />
U<br />
USA / 2015 / 88 min / HDCam / English<br />
Embittered old mariner Abner (Christopher<br />
Lloyd) is a widower living a solitary life. Withdrawn<br />
from his family and the tight-knit community<br />
of his small marine town, he is a<br />
grumpy and unsociable man who seems to<br />
live in the past, only finding comfort in the<br />
countless hours spent building a sailboat in his<br />
yard. When neglected young orphan Rick<br />
(Tekola Cornetet) wanders onto Abner’s property,<br />
hiding from the local bullies, the two find<br />
common ground and form an unlikely bond<br />
which will change their lives in unexpected<br />
ways.<br />

WHERE TO INVADE NEXT<br />
FLORIDA PREMIERE<br />
F<br />
USA / 110 min / DCP / English + Italian, French, German, Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Arabic w/English sub-titles<br />
Raise your hands, who has heard of filmmaker Michael Moore? Ok, put them down. Who has an opinion of Mr. Moore?<br />
Odds are, in a crowded room, you’d be hard pressed to see the exit after those questions are asked. Michael is a lightning rod who always<br />
elicits a reaction for or against. His films may have stirred controversy, but time and again he is proven right.<br />
Well he is back...and we couldn’t be happier to have him bring his new film WHERE DO WE INVADE NEXT as our 30th Anniversary opener.<br />
In “Where to Invade Next,” Michael Moore journeys abroad to find solutions to some of America’s most pressing problems. The film is a loving<br />
tribute to what used to be the American way — and could be again.<br />
In 1989, after 3 months on the job as Director of FLIFF, I attended my first ever film fest, the Toronto Film Festival. I went to see ROGER &<br />
ME, Michael’s first film, and talked with him after the Q&A. I invited him down to screen at FLIFF. Since that momentous meeting (at least for<br />
me), Michael has attended FLIFF five times, more than any other visiting filmmaker. He is always the best guest, entertaining and accommodating<br />
– doing whatever he can to help FLIFF (and I’m sure all the other fests he attends). In 2005, our 20th anniversary, after Hurricane<br />
Wilma wiped out Cinema Paradiso, and the entire film fest was in jeopardy, Michael called out of the blue offering to help. ‘What do you have<br />
in mind?’ I dunno, put an evening together and I’ll come talk.’ I did, Michael did and the sold-out crowd at AMC Coral Ridge loved it. Our top<br />
grossing (and netting) event of ’05. Brilliant filmmaker, yes. True friend, absolutely...the best.<br />

★ LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD ★<br />
Perhaps best known for<br />
her work as Major Margaret<br />
Houlihan on the popular television<br />
series M*A*S*H from<br />
1972 to 1983, actress Loretta<br />
Swit is equally at home playing<br />
comedy or drama on<br />
stage, screen or television.<br />
Born in New Jersey, Ms. Swit<br />
studied acting with Gene<br />
Frankel in Manhattan and<br />
trained at the American Academy<br />
of Dramatic Arts.<br />
Her Broadway debut was in<br />
Same Time, Next Year opposite<br />
Ted Bessell and later opposite<br />
former FLIFF guest<br />
Don Murray. She returned to<br />
Broadway to replace Cleo<br />
Laine in the musical The Mystery<br />
of Edwin Drood. Some of<br />
her additional theatrical work<br />
includes touring in the national<br />
company of the comedy<br />
Any Wednesday with<br />

of the Pigeon sisters opposite<br />
former FLIFF honoree Ernest<br />
Borgnine and Don Rickles in<br />

Director: Jan Thompson / Philippines / 2014 / 85 min / BluRay / English<br />
In this intimate and moving portrait, American prisoners of Imperial Japan during World War II reveal their indomitable will to survive. Starved,<br />
beaten, sick and brutalized, but always keeping a wry sense of humor, these amazing soldiers used gallows humor to beat the odds. Some of<br />
the men were artists, some wrote poetry and songs and many collected recipes.<br />
The program paints a grim portrait of the ways that the men were forced to survive three and half years of captivity. Along with on-camera<br />
interviews with former POWs, the program is packed with excerpts from diaries, poems, over 100 original drawings and cartoons, recipes and songs.<br />
The film includes the story of the infamous “hell ships” where the POWs were sent to Japan and Manchuria as slave laborers. The death rate was<br />
high due to suffocation, starvation, exposure and by being bombed by “friendly fire”-their own US bombers not aware of the human cargo below.<br />
Never The Same is unique because of its many layers as it reaches deep to the core of how the men created coping mechanisms to survive.<br />
Since they were stripped of their dignity any resemblance of humanity quickly disappeared. It was a kind of social Darwinism and sheer luck<br />
that carried the survivors through their ordeal.<br />

★ LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD ★<br />
Candy Clark was born in<br />
Oklahoma, but grew up in<br />
Fort Worth, Texas. She<br />
moved to New York after high<br />
school where she pursued<br />
modeling; however, her career<br />
was destined to be in<br />
front of a movie camera.<br />
Clark’s feature film debut<br />
was in Fat City directed by<br />
John Huston and co-starring<br />
Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges.<br />
The story centers on two boxers,<br />
one whose career is on<br />
the decline and one whose<br />
career is just taking off. Ironically,<br />
it is the only film about<br />
boxing helmed by the legendary<br />
director who had actually<br />
been a boxer at one point.<br />
Clark followed Fat City with<br />
a role which would become<br />
one of her signature parts,<br />
that of Debbie in George<br />
Lucas’s American Graffiti, in<br />
which she starred alongside<br />
Charles Martin Smith, Ron<br />
Howard, Richard Dreyfuss,<br />
Mackenzie Phillips, Harrison Ford, Bo Hopkins, Cindy Williams<br />
and Wolfman Jack! Reviewing the film for The New York Times,<br />
Roger Greenspun wrote, “American Graffiti exists not so much<br />
in its individual stories as in its orchestration of many stories, its<br />
sense of time and place. Although it is full of the material of fashionable<br />
nostalgia, it never exploits nostalgia.” Greenspun went<br />
on to say, “It is a very good movie, funny, tough, unsentimental.<br />
It is full of marvelous performances from actors (especially<br />
Candy Clark, Richard Dreyfuss, and Cindy Williams) hardly<br />
known for previous screen credits.” Academy voters obviously<br />
agreed with Greenspun for Candy Clark received an Oscar nomination<br />
for Best Supporting Actress for her work in the film, and<br />
she reprised her role in More American Graffiti six years later.<br />
Ms. Clark appeared with David Bowie and Rip Torn in the science<br />
fiction drama The Man Who Fell to Earth. Reportedly, she<br />
CANDY CLARK<br />
spent 96-and-a-half hours in<br />
the make-up chair during<br />
the production of the film<br />
and donned a hat to appear<br />
in Bowie’s role one day<br />
when the actor was out sick.<br />
A reviewer for Slant magazine<br />
called the film “alternately<br />
beautiful, mystifying,<br />
and embarrassing.” Some<br />
of Ms. Clark’s other motion<br />
pictures include Handle with<br />
Care directed by Jonathan<br />
Demme and co-starring fellow<br />
American Graffiti alum<br />
Paul Le Mat, The Big Sleep<br />
with Robert Mitchum, Sarah<br />
Miles and Richard Boone,<br />

and Warren Oates, Hambone<br />
and Hillie with Lillian<br />
Gish, Amityville 3-D with<br />
Tony Roberts and Tess Harper, The Blob, Radioland Murders,<br />
and Zodiac among many others.<br />
Ms. Clark made her television debut on the series Room 222<br />
and some of the other series on which she has appeared include<br />
The New Perry Mason, Banacek, The New Dick Van Dyke Show,<br />

AMERICAN GRAFFITI CANDY CLARKE TRIBUTE FILM<br />
Director: George Lucas / USA / 1973 / 110 min / BluRay<br />
PLOT: A couple of high school grads spend one final<br />
night cruising the strip with their buddies before they go<br />
off to college.<br />
Ok, the plot of this movie is simple, pure and true in so<br />
many ways. But as you will read Roger Ebert’s original<br />
(and excellent) review below, you learn the plot is secondary<br />
to the era. When I saw AMERICAN GRAFFITI it was<br />
the most joyous, yet melancholy movie moment of my life.<br />
And though I was 23 years old, when I saw Candy Clark<br />
as Debbie on-screen, I instantly developed a movie crush<br />
and regressed to my high school memories.<br />
Roger ebert’s review My first car was a ‘54 Ford and I<br />
bought it for $435. It wasn’t scooped, channeled,<br />
shaved, decked, pinstriped, or chopped, and it didn’t<br />
have duals, but its hubcaps were a wonder to behold.<br />
When I went to see George Lucas’s “American Graffiti” that whole world – a world that now seems incomparably distant and innocent – was brought back<br />
with a rush of feeling that wasn’t so much nostalgia as culture shock. Remembering my high school generation, I can only wonder at how unprepared we<br />
were for the loss of innocence that took place in America with the series of hammer blows beginning with the assassination of President Kennedy.<br />
The great divide was November 22, 1963,and nothing was ever the same again. The teenagers in “American Graffiti” are, in a sense, like that cartoon<br />
character in the magazine ads: the one who gives the name of his insurance company, unaware that an avalanche is about to land on him. The options<br />
seemed so simple then: to go to college, or to stay home and look for a job and cruise Main Street and make the scene.<br />
The options were simple, and so was the music that formed so much of the way we saw ourselves. “American Graffiti”‘s sound track is papered from one<br />
end to the other with Wolfman Jack’s nonstop disc jockey show, that’s crucial and absolutely right. The radio was on every waking moment. A character in<br />
the movie only realizes his car, parked nearby, has been stolen when he hears the music stop: He didn’t hear the car being driven away. The music was as<br />
innocent as the time. Songs like “Sixteen Candles” and “Gonna Find Her” and “The Book of Love” sound touchingly naive today; nothing prepared us for<br />
the decadence and the aggression of rock only a handful of years later. The Rolling Stones of 1972 would have blown WLS off the air in 1962.<br />
“American Graffiti” acts almost as a milestone to show us how far (and in many cases how tragically) we have come. Stanley Kauffmann, who liked it,<br />
complained in the New Republic that Lucas had made a film more fascinating to the generation now between thirty and forty than it could be for other<br />
generations, older or younger. But it isn’t the age of the characters that matters; it’s the time they inhabited. Whole cultures and societies have passed<br />
since 1962. “American Graffiti” is not only a great movie but a brilliant work of historical fiction; no sociological treatise could duplicate the movie’s success<br />
in remembering exactly how it was to be alive at that cultural instant.<br />
On the surface, Lucas has made a film that seems almost artless; his teenagers cruise Main Street and stop at Mel’s Drive-In and listen to Wolfman<br />
Jack on the radio and neck and lay rubber and almost convince themselves their moment will last forever. But the film’s buried structure shows an innocence<br />
in the process of being lost, and as its symbol Lucas provides the elusive blonde in the white Thunderbird -- the vision of beauty always glimpsed<br />
at the next intersection, the end of the next street. Who is she? And did she really whisper “I love you” at the last traffic signal? In “8 1/2,” Fellini used Claudia<br />
Cardinale as his mysterious angel in white, and the image remains one of his best; but George Lucas knows that for one brief afternoon of American<br />
history angels drove Thunderbirds and could possibly be found at Mel’s Drive-In tonight... or maybe tomorrow night, or the night after.<br />

30’s ERA<br />
ATTIRE<br />
OPTIONAL<br />
Director: Arthur Penn / USA / 1967 / 111 min / BluRay / English<br />
**** Roger Ebert, September 25, 1967 The lives in this case belonged, briefly, to Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. They were two nobodies who got<br />
their pictures in the paper by robbing banks and killing people. They weren't very good at the bank robbery part of it, but they were fairly good at killing<br />
people and absolutely first-class at getting their pictures in the paper.<br />
Bonnie was a gum-chewing waitress and Clyde was a two-bit hood out on parole. But from the beginning, they both seemed to have the knack of entertaining<br />
people. Bonnie wrote ballads and mailed them in with pictures Clyde took with his Kodak. They seemed to consider themselves public<br />
servants, bringing a little sparkle to the poverty and despair of the Dust Bowl during the early Depression years.<br />
Under Arthur Penn's direction, this is a film aimed squarely and unforgivingly at the time we are living in. It is intended, horrifyingly, as entertainment. And<br />
so it will be taken. The kids on dates will go to see this one, just like they went to see "Dirty Dozen" and "Born Losers" and "Hells Angels on Wheels."<br />
But this time, maybe, they'll get more than they counted on. The violence in most American movies is of a curiously bloodless quality. People are shot<br />
and they die, but they do not suffer. The murders are something to be gotten over with, so the audience will have its money's worth, the same is true<br />
of the sex. Both are like the toy in a Crackerjack box: Worthless, but you feel cheated it it's not there.<br />
In "Bonnie and Clyde," however, real people die. Before they die they suffer, horribly. Before they suffer they laugh, and play checkers, and make love,<br />
or try to. These become people we know, and when they die it is not at all pleasant to be in the audience.<br />
The performances throughout are flawless. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, in the title roles, surpass anything they have done on the screen before<br />
and establish themselves (somewhat to my surprise) as major actors.<br />
Michael J. Pollard, as C.W. Moss, the driver and mechanic for the gang, achieves a mixture of moronic good humor and genuine pathos that is unforgettable.<br />
Gene Hackman and Estelle Parsons play Buck and Blanche Barrow, the other members of the gang, as inarticulate, simple, even good - willed. When Buck<br />
is reunited with his kid brother, they howl with glee and punch each other to disguise the truth that they have nothing to say.<br />
After the gang has shot its way out of a police trap and Buck is mortally wounded, Blanche's high, mindless scream in the<br />
getaway car provides, for me, a very adequate vision of hell.<br />
This is pretty clearly the best American film of the year. It is also a<br />
landmark. Years from now it is quite possible that "Bonnie and Clyde"<br />
will be seen as the definitive film of the 1960s, showing with sadness,<br />
humor and unforgiving detail what one society had come to.<br />

★ THE FLORIDA PRIZE ★<br />
2015 marks the inaugural year of the presentation of the annual award, THE FLORIDA PRIZE. In alternating years the award<br />
will be given to a Florida Film Pioneer (Victor Nunez in 2015) and an Emerging Florida Filmmaker on even years.<br />
VICTOR NUNEZ<br />
A member of the founding boards of the Independent Feature<br />
Project (IFP) and the Sundance Film Institute, Victor Nunez has<br />
been making Indy movies for over four decades.<br />
Born in Deland, Nunez received his degrees at Antioch College and<br />
University of California at Los Angeles and began his work in the 1970s<br />
on educational and industrial films while still managing to make three<br />
award winning shortsTaking Care of Mother Baldwin (1970), Charley<br />
Benson’s Return to the Sea (1972), and A Circle in the Fire (1974).<br />
His feature film debut was Gal Young’Un (1979), financed with grants<br />
from the NEA and the Florida Arts Council. Based on the short story by<br />
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, the movie is set in the Prohibition Era Florida<br />
and is about a widowed Florida woman, her new opportunistic bootlegger<br />
husband and his young girlfriend. Starring Dana Preu, the film was<br />
invited to the New York, Toronto, and London film fests as well as the<br />
Director’s Fortnight in Cannes. In the NY Times, Vincent Canby called<br />
it, “an astonishingly good first feature, written, directed, photographed,<br />
edited and produced by Victor Nunez...I know very little about Mr. Nunez<br />
except that he lives and works in Florida, but if he’s representative of<br />
our new regional film makers, things are looking up.”<br />
His next film was A Flash of Green (1984) adapted from a John<br />
D. MacDonald novel and financed by grants from the Rockefeller<br />
Foundation and PBS American Playhouse. Set in the early ‘60s<br />
along the Gulf Coast of Florida, A Flash of Green tells of a tormented<br />
reporter drawn into aiding a self-serving county commissioner in an<br />
underhanded landfill development. Starring Ed Harris, Blair Brown,<br />
and Richard Jordan, the film was shown at the NY and Toronto Film<br />
Festivals, Cannes and on PBS American Playhouse.<br />
Nunez used a windfall from a great-aunt to finance Ruby in Paradise<br />
(1993), which starred then-newcomer Ashley Judd playing a<br />
young woman fleeing a bad relationship in the back woods of Tennessee<br />
who ends up working in a souvenir shop in Panama City.<br />
Again the film was shown at the NY and Toronto Fests and Director’s<br />
Fortnight. The film jointly won the 1993 Grand Jury Prize for Drama<br />
at the Sundance Film Festival and was selected by Roger Ebert as<br />
one of his “Top Ten” films of the year. Ashley won the Independent<br />
Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her performance.<br />
In 1997, Ulee’s Gold, produced through Jonathan Demme’s company,<br />
garnered Victor’s widest audience and earned star Peter Fonda the Golden<br />
Globe and NY Film Critics Award as well as an Oscar Nomination for Best<br />
Actor. Set in the tupelo honey-producing region of the Apalachicola River,<br />
Peter played a third-generation beekeeper with a host of personal problems.<br />
Praising the star and director in The NYTimes, Janet Maslin called<br />
the film, “beautiful and heartfelt, an oasis of humanity in a season of furious<br />
hyperbole. Simple almost to a fault and yet effortlessly wrenching, it shows<br />
nothing more than the spiritual reawakening of a hard-bitten loner. Yet the<br />
star and filmmaker make this story resonate in moving, meaningful ways.”<br />
Coastlines (2002) plays out a messy triangle between three childhood<br />
friends. Starring Josh Brolin, Tim Olyphant and Sarah Wynter.<br />
Nunez’s characters and stories have often been described as<br />
emotionally resonant, multi-layered character driven narratives. Emmanuel<br />
Levy, in his book “Cinema of Outsiders”, states “Integrating<br />
Florida’s unique landscape and spirit, Nunez’s fully realized drama<br />
represents American regional cinema at its very best.<br />
A quick sojourn in New Mexico as a “hired gun” directing Rubin<br />
Blades as a father dying of cancer in Spoken Word (2009), while a<br />
great adventure, did seem a long way from the Gulf Coast and left<br />
the question of “what next,” wide open.<br />
Victor Nunez was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame<br />
in 2008, and his biography at Florida’s Division of Cultural Affairs<br />
states, “Victor Nunez has been called a national treasure of regional<br />
independent filmmaking. A visionary writer, director, cinematographer<br />
and producer, Nunez’s gripping work fuses character and place<br />
in portraits of his home state of Florida.”<br />
He is currently teaching directing at Florida State in his hometown<br />
of Tallahassee. “I don’t know what’s next, really. I’m not sure I<br />
recognize Florida anymore, but I am very grateful for this award.<br />
Perhaps it will inspire me to find my way back to my real Florida<br />
home one more time again.”<br />
Mr. Nunez will attend a FLaSH oF GReeN and receive The Florida Prize at The FLIFF Gala, Saturday, November 21.<br />

A FLASH OF GREEN VICTOR NUNEZ TRIBUTE FILM<br />
Director: Victor Nunez<br />
USA / 1984 / 131 min / DVD / English<br />
Roger Ebert’s original review, posted Jan 1, 1984<br />
"A Flash of Green" is based on a novel by John<br />
D. MacDonald, and like a lot of his stories, it<br />
seems to be about the plot but is really about the<br />
characters. We start with a story about saving<br />
an unspoiled bay from greedy developers, and<br />
we end with a story about a man trying to save<br />
himself from his own greed. It's a relief, halfway<br />
through the movie, to realize it's not going to be<br />
about how the good guys win and the bad guys<br />
don't turn the grasslands into parking lots. Instead,<br />
it's going to be about a complicated relationship<br />
involving a newspaper reporter, his<br />
conscience, and the woman he loves.<br />
The reporter is played by Ed Harris, who has<br />
never been better in a movie. He's not one of<br />
those hotshot journalists the movies like to fabricate,<br />
but a small-town journeyman who keeps<br />
a low profile, gets his job done, and in his own quiet way knows where all the bodies are buried. He gets a tip one day: Grassy Bay, the beautiful nature<br />
preserve, is once again being threatened by the schemes of Elmo Bliss (Richard Jordan), the rich and ambitious local developer.<br />
He passes the tip along to Kat Hubble (Blair Brown), the woman who led the last fight to save the bay. He loves Kat Hubble. They've both known that<br />
for a long time, but the situation is complicated by Harris's own wife, who has been slowly dying for months, and by the fact that Kat is a recent widow.<br />
Harris has another problem. He needs money, and when Elmo Bliss offers to cut him in for a piece of the action, he agrees. Is that a contradiction? "A<br />
Flash of Green" is attentive to the compromises of daily life, and it understands how people can be complicated enough to hold two opposed ideas at<br />
the same time. Harris knows that what he is doing is wrong, that it is a betrayal of his friends, and yet he does it because it seems necessary.<br />
Most movie newspapermen are portrayed as either heroes or creeps. Either they win the Pulitzer, or they violate somebody's privacy. The Harris character<br />
is seen more carefully, as a hard-working small-town guy who has lost a lot of his illusions. The developer, played by Richard Jordan, also is seen<br />
as a specific case. He isn't simply a wheeler-dealer, but a man who has more ambition than taste, and who can convince himself that it'll be good for<br />
everybody if Grassy Bay is filled in. And the Blair Brown character is complex, too; she understands the sexual attraction that exists between herself<br />
and Harris, but she doesn't confuse it with love, because it's not love, it's simply unfinished business.<br />
"A Flash of Green" was directed by Victor Nunez, who also made "Gal Young 'Un." Once again, he would rather explore his characters than send them<br />
spinning through some meaningless plot. Nunez lives near the Florida locations of this movie, and he has achieved a real sense of place. We feel the<br />
moist heat of the long summer nights, the cynical ways in which everybody knows everybody else's business, the urgency of unfulfilled people who<br />
can smell money, and think it means success.<br />

Director: Nick Sandow / USA / 2015 / 85 min / DCP / English<br />
Obsessed with mob culture, and desperate to fit in, Thomas sets out to fix the 1992 trial of John Gotti. He believes if the plan is executed, it<br />
will put him at the center of all that he idolizes. The plot is foiled, setting off events worthy of mob lore. The Wannabe intertwines real people<br />
and true events, past and present, with fantasy.<br />
Nick Sandow’s writing and direction is spot on. He has crafted a beautifully written script with dialogue so true to life – true to character – it is<br />
thrilling to see the talented cast bring the script to life. From his director’s chair, Sandow is patient, allowing a natural progression, sometimes<br />
playfully (the flirtation), sometimes with tension and suspense (the last holdup). Vincent Piazza, (also one of the producers) is fearlessly insecure<br />
– he pulls all the right levers. Michael Imperioli (of The Sopranos fame) must have loved getting a role so different than his TV persona<br />
(mafia or tequila). Imperioli underplays it perfectly. But who would have thought Patricia Arquette could have topped BOYHOOD? My vote,<br />
she does it right here – with a character so tragically lost. She is, in a word, magnificent.<br />

Negin Farsad & Jeremy Redleaf<br />
USA / 2015 / 85 min / DCP / English<br />
Mina and Rudy are that couple: adorable but not<br />
obnoxious. Intellectual but not condescending.<br />
Busy but still have time to post on Instagram.<br />
Yet, sometimes it seems this technologyobsessed<br />
duo can’t take their eyes off their<br />
screens.<br />
3rd Street Blackout is a dark comedy – literally –<br />
that follows Mina and Rudy in the days after Hurricane<br />
Sandy left large parts of New York without<br />
power. In this analogue world, their flaws are<br />
exposed, their commitment challenged and<br />
their mettle tested. How much would you pay<br />
to deliver a message during a blackout?<br />

3 DAYS IN HAVANA<br />
Co-Directors: Tony Pantages & Gil Bellows<br />
Cuba / 2013 / 78 min / HDCam /<br />
English + Spanish w/English sub-titles<br />
Some people would kill for three days in Havana.<br />
Jack Petty sits in an airport bar, nursing a drink.<br />
He’s on a stopover halfway to Havana, and so is<br />
the sexy lady who chats him up, giving him travel<br />
tips and whispering something scary in his ear. He’ll<br />
meet her again, in the midst of a conspiracy that includes<br />
assassination, kidnapping and more.<br />
This is a film with a lot of tradition behind it: some<br />
major Hitchcock (particularly Strangers on a Train<br />
and The 39 Steps); the wised-up dialogue of old<br />
film noir; and the gritty detail and sharp plot twists<br />
of contemporary thrillers. It’s all put across with high<br />
spirits, and the cast is stellar—highlights include<br />
Christopher Heyerdahl as a slick member of the<br />
Canadian Consulate, John Cassini as a ruthless<br />
mob boss, and Phyllida Law as… well, you’ll see.<br />
And there are many other colorful characters, none<br />
of them trustworthy, most of them with their sights<br />
set on poor Jack. He’ll have to outwit, outrun or outfight<br />
them all—a tall order for a mere businessman<br />
on a conference trip. But he’s surprisingly cool<br />
under pressure. The fun here comes not just from<br />
the close shaves and slick repartee but from the<br />
knowledge, quickly acquired, that nothing is what it<br />
seems. (courtesy of the Vancouver Film Festival)<br />

Director: Paula van der Oest / The Netherlands / 2014 / 97 min / DCP / Dutch w/English sub-titles<br />
Based on a true story.<br />
Nurse Lucia (40) has been present at one inexplicable death too many, and the hospital alerts the police. Assistant District Attorney Judith<br />
(28), driven by ambition and genuinely outraged, gets stuck in and Lucia is sentenced to life in prison. But something keeps troubling Judith,<br />
and she discovers inconsistencies in witness statements, and even the suppression of lab evidence. Ignored by her superiors, Judith teams<br />
up with Lucia’s lawyer, but at every appeal the original guilty verdict is confirmed. Things look bleak until they get the media involved and the<br />
biggest miscarriage of justice in Dutch history is finally reversed.<br />

THE DIRECTOR: Paula van der Oest graduated from the Netherlands Film and Television Academy in 1988 and worked as an assistant-director on<br />
several feature films before debuting in the cinema with 1996’s DE NIEUWE MOEDER (ANOTHER MOTHER), which premiered at the Venice Film<br />
festival. In 2002 ZUS & ZO (SIS & THAT), written by Paula, was nominated for a ‘Best Foreign Film’ Oscar - prompting Time Magazine to name her<br />
'the Woody Allen of Amsterdam'.<br />
Several years after making her first English-language film with MOONLIGHT in 2001 (which won her the Hollywood Discovery<br />
Award for Best European Film and Best Foreign Film at FLIFF), she directed Dutch stars Rutger Hauer and Carice van<br />
Houten in the hugely successful BLACK BUTTERFLIES (2011). An intense look at the life of South-African poet Ingrid Jonker,<br />
the film was sold to over fifty countries and has won a great number of national and international awards.<br />
Returning to the present day subject-wise, she wrote and directed THE DOMINO EFFECT (2013), an ensemble piece which<br />
deals with the still on-going credit crunch. Her new film ACCUSED was very well received by Lucia de Berk herself, the<br />
victim of the biggest miscarriage of justice in Dutch history: "Although she changed certain aspects for dramatic reasons,<br />
she captured the heart of my story."

THE ADDERALL DIARIES<br />
FLORIDA PREMIERE<br />
F<br />
Director: Pamela Romanowsky / USA / 2015 / 87 min / DCP / English<br />
Based on the bestselling memoir by Stephen Elliott, The Adderall Diaries is the gripping and complex story of how an author’s fascination with a<br />
high-profile murder case leads him to come to terms with his troubled past while embarking on a potentially life-changing romance in the present.<br />
James Franco plays Stephen Elliot, a once-successful novelist paralyzed by writer's block and an escalating Adderall dependency, who becomes<br />
obsessed with a high-profile murder case as a way to escape his personal troubles. His interest leads him to meet Lana Edmond<br />
(Amber Heard), a smart, sexy reporter who gives him unique access to the case. As their relationship takes off, Stephen is suddenly thrust<br />
back into the past when his father (Ed Harris), a cruel and vindictive man, shows up to challenge the veracity of the memoir Stephen is writing.<br />
As Stephen simultaneously delves into the details of the murder case (which turns out to have some unexpected parallels to his own troubled<br />
upbringing) and reunites with his estranged father, he is forced to separate truth from lies and fact from fiction--ultimately leading him to finally<br />
reconcile his past and confront his future.<br />
Pamela Romanowksy’s debut feature deftly mixes tones and storylines to create a fascinatingly rich and engaging viewing experience. Through<br />
the character of Stephen, a flawed but always compelling protagonist, the film explores a wide array of themes and ideas, including the legacy<br />
of parents, the power of memory, and the nature of truth.<br />

Israel / 2015 / 96 min / DCP /<br />
Hebrew w/English sub-titles<br />
The rebellious teenage daughter of ultra-Orthodox<br />
Jewish parents journeys into the secular world<br />
in APPLES FROM THE DESERT, an adaptation of<br />
the award-winning Israeli play that poignantly explores<br />
themes of love and reconciliation.<br />
Rebecca Abravanel (a radiant Moran Rosenblatt)<br />
is an only child, living a cloistered existence with<br />
her strictly religious Sephardic parents in<br />
Jerusalem. Unhappy with the restrictive traditions<br />
of home and community, she secretly breaks<br />
taboos, attending dance classes where she forms<br />
a relationship with secular kibbutznik Dooby (the<br />
acting debut of Israeli singer and guitarist Elisha<br />
Banai). Suspicious and angry in the face of Rebecca’s<br />
growing acts of rebellion, her strict father<br />
(Shlomi Koriat) reacts by setting in motion a prearranged<br />
marriage to an older widower with children<br />
of his own. Rebecca’s mother (Reymond<br />
Amsalem) and aunt (Irit Kaplan) are appalled, but<br />
dare not defy the authoritarian man of the household.<br />
After Rebecca runs away from home, the family<br />
conflict culminates in a moment of truth, forcing<br />
them to confront their beliefs and one another.<br />
Nominated for three Israeli Academy Awards, AP-<br />
PLES FROM THE DESERT is a timeless and moving<br />
tale of tradition versus modernity.<br />

As the Oscar-winning The Secrets in their eyes showed, the Argentineans can deliver great noir, and Betibu, which comes from the same production<br />

beneath our smooth social surfaces. The Hollywood Reporter<br />

Boccaccerias Habaneras (Boccaccio in Havana) is composed by three stories interconnected by a main line: a writer’s room where people go<br />
to tell anecdotes hoping to make some money and become characters of a novel or a movie. This is a Bocacccio’s version based on a city<br />
environment, a Havana Decameron. A film full of sensuality, ease and hidden passions.<br />
Story #1: It’s the Day of the Wedding and Mom & Dad are doing all the heavy lifting while the bride to be drifts off with another thought.<br />
Story #2: A backstage worker at a traveling circus, is called upon to perform services not in his job description...and the consequences could<br />
not be more hilarious.<br />
Story #3: A cigar company has for years brought in a student intern from the local college to learn business from the ground up. Little does<br />
he realize, that cigar he is making him is rolling him into a lot of trouble.<br />
Bawdy, outrageous, hilarious and campy... Boccacchios provides us with more than laughs, but also an intimate look into the day-to-day lives<br />
of our neighbors to the south.<br />

THE DIRECTOR: Crowley became involved in theatre as a student, seeing it as a stepping stone to directing film. He began directing plays in Dublin in<br />
the early 90s, reached London's West End by 1996 and eventually become an associate director at the Donmar Warehouse. In 2000, he directed Come<br />
and Go as part of the Beckett on Film series and made his feature debut Intermission (2003), a comedy drama set in Dublin, starring Colin Farrell, Cillian<br />
Murphy and Kelly MacDonald, based on a screenplay by playwright Mark O'Rowe.<br />
In May 2005 Crowley, along with Danny Boyle, launched the UK Film Council Development Fund's "25 Words or Less: Director’s Cut" scheme to<br />
develop a feature film project, stating that he wanted particularly to "create a contemporary 'rebirth' or transformation story about a man or woman<br />
who begins as someone that spreads coldness."<br />
In 2007, Crowley reteamed with O'Rowe for the thought-provoking BAFTA-winning drama Boy A, about a young man's return<br />
to civilian life after imprisonment for a brutal childhood killing, which was made for British television but was released theatrically<br />
in the US the following year.<br />
Additionally, Crowley was Tony nominated for the hugely successful London and Broadway runs of Martin McDonagh's<br />
play The Pillowman in 2003 and 2005. He directed Neve Campbell and Cillian Murphy in the West End production of Love<br />
Song in 2006-7, and in 2007 filmed a television version of Harold Pinter's Celebration starring Michael Gambon, Stephen<br />
Rea and Colin Firth. In 2009 he directed the film Is Anybody There?, set in 1980s seaside Britain, written by Peter Harness and<br />
starring Michael Caine as a grumpy ex-magician. In 2010, Crowley teamed once again with McDonagh for A Behanding in<br />
Spokane on Broadway.

In an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s seminal novel, The Price of Salt, CAROL follows two women from very different backgrounds who find<br />
themselves in an unexpected love affair in 1950’s New York. As conventional norms of the time challenge their undeniable attraction, an<br />
honest story emerges to reveal the resilience of the heart in the face of change. A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet, is a clerk working<br />
in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol, an alluring woman trapped in a loveless, convenient<br />
marriage. As an immediate connection sparks between them, the innocence of their first encounter dims and their connection deepens.<br />
While Carol breaks free from the confines of marriage, her husband begins to question her competence as a mother as her involvement with<br />
Therese and close relationship with her best friend Abby come to light.<br />

THE DIRECTOR: Todd Haynes is known for making provocative films that subvert narrative structure and resound with transgressive, complex eroticism. Born 1961,<br />
in LA and developed an interest in film at a young age. While still a high school student, he produced his first film, a short about contemporary teenage life entitled<br />
The Suicide (1978). Haynes studied at Brown University, making his directorial debut with Assassins: A Film Concerning Rimbaud (1985). He gained his first dose<br />
of attention and controversy with Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987). A psychological docudrama about singer and anorexia victim Karen Carpenter, the<br />
film blended sharp satire (...its use of Barbie dolls to portray the characters) with historical perspective and surprising compassion. The considerable notice it earned<br />
at a number of film festivals was tempered by a lawsuit filed against Haynes by Richard Carpenter, whom the film portrayed in a less than<br />
flattering light. Controversy and acclaim again came Haynes' way with his 1991 feature directorial debut, Poison. The exploration of AIDSera<br />
deviancy, alienation, death, homosexuality, and persecution told in turn as a vox-pop documentary, '50s sci-fi horror fantasy, and gay<br />
love story. The fact that it received $25,000 worth of funding from the National Endowment for the Arts made the film a target of the campaign<br />
being waged by the right-wing American Family Asso. If anything, the publicity generated by the controversy helped the film, and Poison<br />
and won the 1991 Sundance's Grand Prize, establishing Haynes as a talent to be taken seriously. He resurfaced with Safe. The story<br />
of a housewife (Julianne Moore) who is literally allergic to the 20th century. This recognition was apparent in the anticipation surrounding<br />
Haynes' next feature, 1998's Velvet Goldmine. Starring Christian Bale, and Ewan McGregor, the film a loving tribute to the Glam rock era.<br />
In 2002, Haynes finally won both critical approval and popular success with his Oscar nominated Far From Heaven. The film boasted lush<br />
cinematography, a sweeping, perceptive score from Elmer Bernstein, and brilliant leading performances by Julianne Moore, Dennis Haysbert,<br />
Dennis Quaid and Patricia Clarkson. (Excerpted from The All Movie Guide)<br />

Director: John Goshorn<br />
Florida / 2015 / 81 mn / HDCam / English<br />
As the film opens, Jonah and Maggie are in the process of buying<br />
their first home, picking out one that feels perfect to start a<br />
family. They move in, riding a wave of satisfaction at opening<br />
the next chapter in their lives. But it doesn't last. Days after moving<br />
in, the newspaper where Jonah works makes job cuts, his<br />
position among them. They try to muddle through and hold on<br />
to their dream. Maggie picks up a waitressing gig to supplement<br />
her daycare job, and Jonah tries desperately to find work and<br />
renegotiate the terms of their mortgage, to no avail. And trying<br />
to compete in a dying industry and a saturated job market, his<br />
opportunities are severely limited.<br />
After a particularly humiliating interview and another round of<br />
bad news about the mortgage, Jonah is at his wit's end. He<br />
heads to the coast to regroup, but never returns home. He is<br />
presumed to have drowned while kayaking in the ocean, but no<br />
one is certain. Maggie is left to pick up the pieces while weighing<br />
her grief, her hope for Jonah's miraculous return, suspicions regarding<br />
the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, and<br />
her own need to move on with her life.<br />

On this Christmas Eve, six-year-old Antoine has<br />
only one idea in mind: to meet Father Christmas<br />
and go on a trip to the stars with him in his sleigh.<br />
When Father Christmas does magically fall onto his<br />
balcony, Antoine is too dazzled to see that he is in<br />
fact a thief in disguise, who is stealing jewels from<br />
apartments in chic neighborhoods.<br />
Despite all his efforts to get rid of the very determined<br />
boy, Father Christmas and Antoine form an<br />
improbable duo who traverse Paris from roof to<br />
roof, each of them looking for their own dream.<br />
This film is one of my favorites of FLIFF2015. Essential<br />
to any great movie is ‘Do you care about the characters?’<br />
The answer is an undeniable YES! Heart,<br />
pathos, comedy, suspense, action and surprise...this<br />
is a 6 cylinder vehicle with V8 thrust. The director,<br />
Alexander Coffre was the Director / Co-Writer of last<br />

Still lots of laughs, but much more moving in<br />

dies. Jealous relatives report Liza to the police for<br />
murdering Marta to inherit her apartment. Sergeant<br />
Zoltan is put on the case. The policeman rents a<br />

Karoly as a small town boy had little knowledge of his future as a teenager, so to gain some time to think he enrolled the Budapest University of Economics,<br />
where he finally met an extraordinary art-form – film.<br />
That fatal meeting made him a filmgeek, and wrote his final thesis on American film industry...<br />
With his university degree he started as a production runner, then soon became a location manager. He joined Saatchi<br />
and Saatchi Budapest as a production assistant. He was one of the first freelancer agency producers of Hungary, he<br />
worked for almost all the major international network agencies in Hungary.<br />
He never gave up his ambition to become a director. His weird sense of humor and emotional touch can be witnessed in<br />
his more than 150 commercials, and also in his 10 short-films that won several national and international awards.<br />
His relentlessness and persistence finally made possible for him to shoot his first feature film, Liza, the Fox-fairy, is a funny<br />

business partner took off with all his money, then his<br />
girlfriend cheated on him. He’s about to end it all<br />
when he’s visited by his guardian angels who give him<br />
a very special gift: a pair of glasses that enable him<br />
to tell at a glance who is good and who is bad. But<br />
are people really just “good” or “bad”? At first all<br />
seems well but soon Amit realizes that having this<br />
special power brings with it results that are both unexpected<br />
and unwelcome.<br />

Director: William Monahan / USA / 2015 / 93 min / DCP / English<br />
In this electrifying and darkly comedic Hollywood neo-noir, an artist has an ominous encounter with a drifter in the desert, which gets taken to<br />
shocking surprises.<br />
Garret Hedlund plays Thomas, a brooding artist in a spiritual funk who leaves the comfort of his Hollywood Hills home to spend a few days in the Mojave<br />
desert. Before long, though, he meets Jack (Oscar Isaac), a dangerous, chameleon-like drifter who resents Thomas’ wealth and privilege.<br />
A thrilling combination of a twisty Hitchcockian thriller, modern-day Hollywood satire, and thought-provoking meditation on identity and fame,<br />
Mojave is the second feature directed by Academy Award winning screenwriter William Monahan (The Departed), and as a director he delivers<br />
the same skillful craftsmanship and tonal complexity that has always been a hallmark of his writing. The cast is uniformly excellent, with Oscar<br />
Isaac delivering another ingenious and completely distinctive performance, making Jack not only a fun, unpredictable, and scary villain, but<br />
also a provocative counterpoint to the lifestyle and world Thomas so thoroughly embodies.<br />
Written By: William Monahan / Produced By: William Monahan, Aaron L. Ginsburg, William Green, Justine Suzanne Jones / Starring: Oscar<br />
Isaac, Garrett Hedlund, Louise Bourgoin, Walter Goggins / Contact: A24<br />
THE DIRECTOR: Monahan was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He moved to New York City and contributed<br />
to the alternative weekly newspaper New York Press and the magazines Talk, Maxim, and Spy. In 1997 Monahan won a Pushcart Prize for a short story.<br />
Monahan wrote a novel titled Light House: A Trifle, and Warner Bros. optioned the film rights. In 2001 20th Century Fox bought<br />
Monahan's spec script Tripoli, about William Eaton's epic march on Tripoli during the Barbary Wars, in a deal worth mid-six<br />
figures in American dollars, with Mark Gordon attached as producer. The script was given to Ridley Scott to direct.<br />
Monahan steadily secured work in the film industry throughout the 2000s. Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B,<br />
hired Monahan to write an adaptation of Hong Kong director Andrew Lau's gangster film Infernal Affairs. Monahan<br />
respun Infernal Affairs as a battle between Irish American gangsters and cops in Boston's Southie district, and Martin<br />
Scorsese directed the completed screenplay under the title The Departed for Warner Bros. Monahan's work on the<br />
film would later earn him two Best Adapted Screenplay awards, from the Writers Guild of America and the Academy<br />
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

FLORIDA PREMIERE<br />
Director: Richard Berry<br />
F<br />
France / 2015 / 90 min / DCP /<br />
French w/English sub-titles<br />
Max, Paul and Simon have been friends for 35 years.<br />
They take great pleasure in their one vacation a year<br />
together without their partners and meet-up regularly<br />
to spend evenings drinking or playing cards. Each has<br />
a successful career and they all appear to have perfect<br />
lives until the night Simon announces to his<br />
friends that he has just strangled his wife, Estelle after<br />
a blazing row. Max and Paul are horrified by Simon’s<br />
confession, but worse is to come when Simon asks<br />
them to lie and provide him with an alibi for the time<br />
Estelle was killed. Both men are torn between lying<br />
or turning over their best friend to the police.<br />
Nos Femmes is following in a tradition for films celebrating<br />
male friendship that have long proved fertile<br />
ground for French directors. There’s been Hugo<br />
Gélin’s Comme des Frères, Marc Esposito’s Les<br />
Coeurs des Hommes 1,2 and 3,La Vérité si Je Mens<br />
(|Would I Lie to You) 1,2 and 3 and just last week<br />
Olivier Baroux examined male relationships in the<br />
comedy Entre Amis, with Auteuil once again in the<br />
lead role. Buddy movies are not the exclusive property<br />
of French directors, but it’s interesting to ask why<br />
there are so many films made in France about male<br />
friendships and so few about the female equivalent?<br />
Of course Berry’s film is not just about the ties<br />
between men, but also about the limits of friendship<br />
and how far one person can ever truly know another.<br />
Deep stuff, but Berry knows when to lighten the mood<br />
and shift the film in a completely different direction.<br />
Although publicity for the film shows the three actors<br />
together, this is really a two-man show with Berry and Auteuil expertly batting the witty, incisive dialogue back and forth while covering a range<br />
of issues from moral responsibility, to the nature of friendship, fidelity, and, of course, love and mariage. And it’s funny – really, laugh out loud<br />
funny – especially the unforgettable sight of Berry dancing and rapping to Dans Ma Benz by French group, NTM. Nos Femmesis a real treat<br />
for audiences who will enjoy watching Berry and Auteuil at the top of their game and a script that provides genuine food for thought.<br />

German w/English sub-titles<br />
The Iranians are bringing missiles out of their bunkers and within<br />
an hour and a half they will be prepared to “push the button” and<br />
launch the missiles at any point in Israel.<br />
Against the time that is running out, a drama is being reconstructed.<br />
It is a political, scientific and human drama that took<br />
place in Jerusalem and Paris during the 1950's - 60's.<br />
On his return from a trip to a concentration camp, Ben Gurion<br />
gives an order to develop Israel’s nuclear option – as an insurance<br />
policy for the remainder of the Jewish people. At the time<br />
only the USA, Great Britain and Russia had the bomb<br />
At the center of this story are the Head of the Mossad as well<br />
as a key Nuclear Physicist together with his doctoral students.<br />
They are recruited to develop the bomb for Israel. The mission<br />
seems impossible.<br />
The tense and romantic relationships between the characters<br />
are presented against the background of the determination of<br />
the Head of the Mossad to attain the Bomb and the soul-searching<br />
of the physicists who understand the terrible significance of<br />
this project.<br />
Operation Sunflower also deals with the dilemma of the commitment<br />
of the Jewish People around the world towards the State<br />
of Israel and how far will they go in order to help the Jewish<br />
State. The Story that unfolds in the film, in the words of one of<br />
the characters, "was mythical".<br />

Director: Fernando León de Aranoa / Balkans / 2015 / 105 min / DCP / English<br />
There’s a little something of early Robert Altman in this enjoyably spiky comic war movie from<br />
the Spanish director Fernando León de Aranda: think of it as a second helping of M*A*S*H.<br />
We’re somewhere in the Balkans in late 1995, and word of the ceasefire that has been<br />
thrashed out between the Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Yugoslavian foreign ministers<br />
in the United States has not yet filtered up to the rubble-strewn mountains where<br />
Mambrú and B, two international aid workers played by Benicio Del Toro and Tim Robbins,<br />
are doing their best to keep the local communities from self-combustion.<br />
Overnight, the corpse of a very fat man has appeared in a very deep village well,<br />

around 24 hours or the water will be rendered unpotable; and secondly, the corpse<br />

Mambrú (Del Toro) successfully winches the body up most of the<br />

THEEB<br />
Director: Naji Abu Nowar<br />
Jordan / 2014 / 100 min / DCP /<br />
Arabic w/English sub-titles<br />
1916. While war rages in the Ottoman Empire, Hussein raises his<br />
younger brother Theeb (“Wolf”) in a traditional Bedouin community<br />
that is isolated by the vast, unforgiving desert. The brothers’<br />
quiet existence is suddenly interrupted when a British Army officer<br />
and his guide ask Hussein to escort them to a water well located<br />
along the old pilgrimage route to Mecca. So as not to dishonor<br />
his recently deceased father, Hussein agrees to lead them on the<br />
long and treacherous journey. The young, mischievous Theeb secretly<br />
chases after his brother, but the group soon find themselves<br />
trapped amidst threatening terrain riddled with Ottoman mercenaries,<br />
Arab revolutionaries, and outcast Bedouin raiders. Naji<br />
Abu Nowar’s powerful and assured directorial debut, set in the<br />
land of Lawrence of Arabia, is a wondrous “Bedouin Western”<br />
about a boy who, in order to survive, must become a man and<br />
live up to the name his father gave him.<br />
THe HuFFINGToN PoST<br />
“It is a spectacularly epic film with a wonderfully intimate human<br />
story. It possesses everything that allows me fall in love with cinema,<br />
again and again… the kind of film that grabs a hold of you<br />
and doesn’t let go.”<br />
THoMPSoN oN HoLLywood<br />
“A quietly gripping adventure tale that’s perhaps intended as a corrective<br />
to the romantic grandeur of Lawrence of Arabia, Naji Abu<br />
Nowar’s THEEB is classic storytelling at its finest… Eid (Jacir) carries<br />
this concise and unsentimental film on his young shoulders with<br />
amazing assurance.”<br />
SCReeN daILy<br />
“A beautifully simple and stunningly elegant film – that can be seen as<br />
something of a companion piece to Lawrence of Arabia – Naji Abu<br />
Nowar’s delightful THEEB is a striking film.”<br />
SLaNT MaGazINe<br />
“Despite the film’s measured pacing and simple plot, the story takes several<br />
surprising turns, confounding viewer expectations throughout. This combination of unhurried exposition and unexpected plot twists is a<br />
testament to the confidence of the filmmakers’ vision and their faith in the strength of the material… THEEB might herald the inauguration of<br />
a new film genre: the Bedouin western.”<br />

TOKYO FIANCÉE<br />
SOUTHEAST PREMIERE<br />
E<br />
Director: Stefan Liberski<br />
Japan / 2013 / 100 min / DCP / English +<br />
French & Japanese w/English sub-titles<br />
Her head filled with dreams, Amélie, 20, goes back to<br />
Japan, where she spent her childhood. To earn a living,<br />
she decides to give privates classes in French and<br />
meets Rinri, her first and only student, a young Japanese<br />
man with whom she soon has an intimate relationship.<br />
Between the pitfalls of a culture shock that is both<br />
poetic and amusing, she discovers a side of Japan she<br />
had never seen before...<br />
The story is a simple one: Amélie and Rinri meet, are<br />
attracted to one another, delight in each other’s company<br />
for a while, then break up. Adapted from the novel,<br />
the movie in turn gives a fresh interpretation of this universal<br />
story. The film uses themes that run throughout<br />
the book: Japan, transitioning into adulthood, sensuality,<br />
otherness, the fascination exerted by beauty.<br />
The Japan of TOKYO FIANCÉE is often veiled by a hazy<br />
mist that resembles a moist cocoon in which Amélie’s<br />
metamorphosis takes place; a metaphor for the place both<br />
real and imaginary that we leave behind as we exit childhood.<br />
Still a very young girl when she returns to the Japan<br />
where she spent her early childhood, it’s as a young<br />
woman that she will leave Japan for the second time.<br />
More than a discovery of love, the heroine will be initiated<br />
into sensuality. She confuses the pleasures of sex<br />
with that of food. The taste of ripe kaki fruit conjures<br />
up the eroticism of Japanese baths and hot springs.<br />
Bodies explore one another in the furô and onsen’s hot<br />
waters. For young Amélie, her Japanese lover embodies<br />
this mysterious otherness. Rinri is both very handsome<br />
and unique. The film resonates the otherness of<br />
Japan, that of sexuality, which the young woman discovers,<br />
and that of beauty. It is my intention to show<br />
Japan’s beauty differently: the Land of the Rising Sun can still reveal itself - to us as well as the heroine - in a very unexpected light. Tokyo Fiancée<br />
is also a portrait of a city and a country. The Fukushima disaster does occur in the course of the film, straying from the novel, but it<br />
couldn’t have been otherwise: it is impossible to describe Japan today without mentioning Fukushima. Stefan Liberski<br />

THE BEAUTIFUL ONES<br />
SOUTHEAST PREMIERE<br />
E<br />
Director: Jesse V. Johnson / USA / 2015 / 94 min / BluRay / English<br />
Gabriel Tancredi (Ross McCall from Green Street Hooligans 2), the nephew of a local crime boss, has built a life for himself more or less modeled<br />
after one of the characters played by his favorite movie star: Steve McQueen. He’s got McQueen’s Mark IV 5.0 Cobra Roadster for his<br />
wheels, he’s got the shades, the watch, the threads, and even the chic over the shoulder gun holster from Bullitt.<br />
On the surface, Gabriel looks like a cop straight out of the late 60’s or early 70’s, and with his background in the military, he’s got more than<br />
the gab and swagger of a wannabe – he’s the real thing. His aunt Catarina (Julie Warner from Indian Summer) is running the syndicate her<br />
father started decades ago.<br />
The late Ed Lauter (Born on the Fourth of July.) plays Old Man Tancredi, the former head of the family, now wheel-chair bound and suffering<br />
from Alzheimer's, his vicious temper is still raw, his anger at the world seems to have eaten him from the inside outwards, a visit on his Birthday<br />
is anything but warm and friendly. For Gabriel, his Grandfather represents success in the Crime game, all your friends are in jail or dead,<br />
you’re angry at life and no one wants you around.<br />
Shot in beautiful black and white in a style reminiscent of a bygone era, Jesse V. Johnson’s The Beautiful Ones is a calculated lark of a film,<br />
with wit, pizazz, and plenty of badass action. This movie has moxy to spare, and it’s a breath of fresh air in a depressed movie market that has<br />
forgotten how to produce movies that actually feel cinematic and spry.<br />

THE DIRECTOR: One of Israel’s most influential directors, Nesher was born in Israel but spent much of his adolescence in New York, where he studied<br />
at Ramaz Yeshiva and Columbia University.<br />
Nesher’s first movie, The Troupe (1979), was an irreverent look at an army entertainment troupe. Nesher wrote and directed Dizengoff 99, the story<br />
of a group of young people in Tel Aviv. Nesher shifted gears and made Rage and Glory, a controversial film about a Jewish underground organization<br />

best Israeli movies in recent years.” New York Observer critic Andrew Sarris called it, “One of the best movies of the year.”

Armed with low-tech gear and high-minded notions<br />
that penguin populations hold the key to human<br />
survival, Ron Naveen lays bare his 30 year love affair<br />
with the world’s most pristine scientific laboratory:<br />
Antarctica. Famed as a place that ‘wants you dead,’<br />
his ragtag team of field-biologists embark on a journey<br />
to some of the harshest corners of the planet,<br />
where they track the impact of climate change on<br />
penguin populations - one nest at a time. But penguins<br />
aren’t the only stars. During the fifteen-day<br />
voyage, Ron discovers that the ashes of the legendary<br />
explorer Frank Wild – the famed leader on<br />
Ernest Shackleton’s expeditions - are sailing to his<br />
final burial place on board the ship, accompanied by<br />
descendants of both Wild and Shackleton.<br />

A DIRECTOR PREPARES: BOBBY ROTH’S MASTERCLASS<br />
Director: Bobby Roth<br />
USA / 2015 / 210 min / Digital File / English<br />
EAST COAST PREMIERE<br />
W<br />
Bobby Roth has directed more than eighty episodes of television,<br />
twenty-five TV movies, and thirteen feature films, and he has been<br />
teaching film seminars throughout the world for the last ten years.<br />
Now, through interviews with more than fifty of his colleagues in<br />
the film industry, hours of original behind-the-scenes footage, and<br />
an unprecedented glimpse of production materials, A Director Prepares:<br />
Bobby Roth’s Master Class demystifies the craft of directing<br />
and hands over all the tools aspiring filmmakers need to feel comfortable<br />
walking onto a set and calling Action! FLIFF will feature 3<br />
of the 10 episodes. See schedule below.<br />
episode 1 Preparation & Imagination Some schools of<br />
thought regarding film production emphasize spontaneity and the<br />
freedom of “winging it.” This is not one of them. This episode offers<br />
an overview of Bobby’s method, which emphasizes extremely disciplined<br />
preparation that allows you to be free in the moment, principally<br />
for the actors, and allows you flexibility for contingencies. An extensive case study from Prison Break helps illuminate the importance<br />
of prep work and how it can pay off.<br />
episode 3 designing Shots One of the main elements of prep, in both film and television, is producing the shot list. This episode covers<br />
not only what a shot list is, how it should look, and whom to give it to, but also how to imbue camera instructions with emotion and personal<br />
investment. Extensive case studies from Lost and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. demonstrate the way personal experience can and should<br />
affect everything from lens choice to camera placement.<br />
eipsode.6 Collaboration<br />
The director’s role is like a conductor in an orchestra, synthesizing different components by working with heads of multiple departments. This<br />
episode takes a unique look at building and maintaining relationships with your crew, and examines one of most students’ greatest anxieties<br />
about filmmaking: what to do when the collaborative process breaks down and relationships on set go sour.<br />
episodes 7 & 8 How to Get actors to do what you want, Parts I & II At the very core of the craft of directing is working with actors.<br />
Central to the Bobby Roth method of directing is to prepare as extensively as possible in preparation in order to be available to the actors<br />
during production. During production, time is especially precious, and actors require great attention and sensitivity to deliver their best performances.<br />
In this double-episode, we take an extended look at the question Bobby is most frequently asked by students and young filmmakers:<br />
how do you get actors to do what you want? Interviews with more than twenty leading actors shed a diverse array of insights into what is<br />
expected of directors and the best strategies for building productive working relationships with them.<br />
episode10 The Business The final episode looks outside the process of production itself towards what many film students find an even<br />
more urgent topic: the business of getting hired, raising funds, and getting brought back to work again. This episode focuses on interviews<br />
with showrunners, agents, and executives, who candidly illuminate the hierarchies at work in the hiring process of television, and how to build<br />
a career making movies.<br />

THE F WORD<br />
WORLD PREMIERE<br />
U<br />
Director: Robert Adanto / USA / 2015 / 104 min / DCP / English<br />
The F Word explores radical, “4th wave” feminist performance via interviews with a younger generation of feminist artists using their bodies as<br />
subject matter. The female body has proven, and continues to be, central to their practice, and, as a result many of these artists remain marginalized<br />
by the mainstream art world. As Leah Schrager, well known for her performance practice Naked Therapy, states, “As soon as you introduce a bit<br />
of sexiness or sexuality into an artwork it suddenly becomes questionable. Just because something elicits arousal or shows elements of sexiness<br />
does absolutely not make it not art.” While some artists, like Ann Hirsch and Kate Durbin, choose to represent female identity though digital media,<br />
others, like the radical, queer, transnational feminist art collective, Go! Push Pops, explore sexuality and gender in pop culture in the digital age.<br />
As feminist lecturer Kristen Sollee asserts, 4th wavers “are not afraid to be ‘girly’, (or) to be hyper-feminine, or to self-objectify. That was something<br />
that was not part of feminism in the past, and now it’s becoming more and more acceptable.” Featuring: Narcissister, Ann Hirsch, Go! Push Pops,<br />

THE DIRECTOR: Robert Adanto made his directorial debut with The Rising Tide (2008), a documentary exploring the explosive<br />
Chinese contemporary art scene. Shot in the summer of 2006, The Rising Tide captures the confusion and ambiguity that<br />
characterize the new China. His next film, Pearls on the Ocean Floor (2010) examined the lives and works of Iranian female<br />
artists living and working in and outside the Islamic Republic. Pearls on the Ocean Floor received the Bronze Palm Award for<br />
Best Doc at the 2011 Mexican Int’l Film Festival and a Spirit of Independents Award at the 2012 FLIFF. City of Memory (2014), which<br />
premiered at last year’s FLIFF, explores Hurricane Katrina’s impact on the lives of visual artists from New Orleans. In commemoration<br />
of the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Film Society recently presented City of Memory at the Ogden Museum<br />
of Southern Art. Mr. Adanto earned his M.F.A. in Acting from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.<br />

Director: Gina Sealy<br />
Bahamas / 2014 / 60 min /<br />

Born in 1934, Andre Rodgers grew up in the<br />
Bahamas, then a British colony. He played<br />
cricket and had never even seen a baseball<br />
game before 1954 when he tried out for the<br />
San Francisco Giants. Rodgers was signed<br />
immediately and became a minor league phenom<br />
before playing 11 years in the majors.<br />
In this documentary directed, produced and<br />
narrated by Rodgers’ daughter, Gina Sealy,<br />
Baseball Hall of Famers Ernie Banks and<br />
Orlando Cepeda, as well as John Jordan<br />
“Buck” O’Neil, the first black coach in major<br />
league baseball, all talk about how Andre,<br />
with his gentle disposition, taught them to<br />
deal with racism and navigate the unknown<br />
and invisible boundaries of the color barrier<br />
on and off the baseball fields of America.<br />
Rodgers is credited with changing the face of sports in the Bahamas.<br />

HURRICANE 3D<br />
UNITED STATES PREMIERE<br />
F<br />
Directors: Cyril Barbançon & Andy Byatt<br />
France / 2015 / 80 min / DCP / English<br />
The greatest in depth examination of the birth of<br />
a storm off the coast of West Africa, and its evolution<br />
across the Atlantic, through the Caribbean<br />
and up the Gulf of Mexico, ultimately unleashing<br />
its fury on the U.S. coast.<br />
The film is astounding because of its perspectives.<br />
From its the creation and development,<br />
we view the storm from the inhabitants of residents<br />
of Cape Verde Islands, the crew onboard<br />
the Hurricane Hunter airplanes, the view under<br />
water as the storm pummels the coral reefs, the<br />
wildlife impacted, the people of Hispaniola, Cuba<br />
and the Gulf residents in the United States.<br />
The cool, calm narration adds dramatically – reinforcing<br />
the fact that nature is the ultimate<br />
power – we can prepare, evacuate, pray, but<br />
cannot affect the course or strength of this<br />
deadly natural disaster.<br />
HURRICANE 3D is an excellent teacher of the<br />
peril we face if precaution is neglected. Especially<br />
because of our geography annually in the<br />
line of fire, we recommend for all audiences from<br />
high school to seniors. The film is majestic, powerful,<br />
enlightening and highly informative.<br />

THE LIBERATORS: WHY WE FOUGHT<br />
NORTH AMERICA PREMIERE<br />
W<br />
Director: Emanuel Rotstein<br />
Germany / 2015 / 53 min / DVD / English<br />
Germany's documentary THE LIBERATORS –<br />
WHY WE FOUGHT features the personal memories<br />
of some of the last living veterans. Emanuel<br />
Rotstein, producer for HISTORY, takes viewers on<br />
a journey from these veterans' quaint hometowns<br />
in the US to the shores of Europe and their final<br />
march through Nazi Germany. These stories are interwoven<br />
with the accounts of some of the few remaining<br />
survivors of Dachau who owe their life to<br />
the American soldiers. It’s almost 70 years since<br />
the fateful day April 29, 1945 but the life-altering experience<br />
has stayed with them to this very day. Until<br />
today both liberators and survivors suffer from what<br />
is now called post-traumatic stress disorder and still<br />
experience Holocaust-related nightmares. Until<br />
today both liberators and survivors share the determination<br />
that the world must never forget and understand<br />
General Eisenhower’s words, when he<br />
saw the stacked bodies inside a liberated camp:<br />
„We are told that the American soldier does not<br />
know what he was fighting for.<br />
Now, at least he will know what he is fighting<br />
against“.<br />

SOUTH FLORIDA PREMIERE<br />
Director: Gayle Kirschenbaum<br />
USA, France, India / 2015 / 84 min / BluRay / English<br />
What happens to a girl when she is born into a family that was expecting<br />
a boy? What drives a child to convince herself she is adopted?<br />
With raw honesty and biting humor comes Gayle Kirschenbaum’s<br />
personal story of pain, survival and being born into the<br />
wrong family. Look At Us Now, Mother! documents a highly<br />
charged mother-daughter relationship’s transition from Mommie<br />
Dearest to Dear Mom, from hatred to love, with the daughter behind<br />
the camera. The film is an unflinching look at the complex<br />
bond between two women, illuminating not only family behaviors<br />
and patterns, but generational, cultural and individual histories.<br />
Gayle and Mildred’s journey spans decades and continents,<br />
fraught with conflict and emotional land mines; this is an intimate<br />
story of family dysfunctions, forgiveness and healing.<br />

Jun Naruse is a girl who carries the guilt of breaking up her family<br />
with the words she carelessly uttered when she was young…<br />
Suddenly, a mysterious “Egg Fairy” appears in front of Jun and<br />
casts a curse on her so that she can never hurt anybody with<br />
her words. Jun’s ability to speak is sealed away: every time<br />
she tries, she feels a pain in her stomach. Traumatized by this<br />
experience, Jun hides her feelings deep inside of her heart,<br />
turning to e-mail messages on her mobile phone as her sole<br />
means of communication<br />
Jun is now a second year high school student. One day, her<br />
homeroom teacher appoints Jun and three other students as<br />
members of the Regional Friendship Exchange Executive<br />
Committee. As it turns out, the appointed group is a rather unexpected mix of students. Other than Jun, the members of the Committee are<br />
Takumi Sakagami, the burn-out who never speaks his true intentions; Daiki Tasaki, the former baseball team ace who failed his run at the<br />
Championships due to an injury; and Natsuki Nito, the cheerleader and honor student who has some concerns about her love life. They all<br />
suffer from emotional trauma just like Jun.<br />

Margaret Mead is the best-known anthropologist of all time. She was fascinated by<br />
how remote cultures, locked for centuries in a certain way of life, negotiated changes<br />
from the modern world. Today, anthropologist Susie Crate studies communities negotiating<br />
climate change. From Siberia to Peru to the South Pacific, Crate interacts<br />
with villagers who face melting permafrost, receding glaciers, and rising tides.<br />
The film interweaves the stories of these two observers of change. How are<br />
human beings programmed to deal with change? And if it’s too late to change our<br />
climate, is it possible to change how we’ve been programmed?<br />
Susie’s teenage daughter Katie is her reluctant travel companion. Margaret Mead’s<br />
daughter Mary Bateson (76) is also an anthropologist. The path towards change, Bateson suggests, is a bridge between generations.<br />

Before World War II, experts dismissed sharks as a threat to servicemen. Then in<br />
1942, US Navy headquarters received reports about horrific attacks on castaways<br />
adrift from sunken ships and downed airplanes. Many of these reports proved to be<br />
true. Soon after the war, diving pioneers sought out sharks, expecting the worst because<br />
of the shark attack stories. Instead, they found an animal less to be feared<br />
than understood.<br />
Join the team as they dive at night among the three shark species responsible for the<br />
worst mass attacks of World War II: the bull, tiger, and oceanic whitetip. Learn the<br />
haunting tale of survival told by USS Indianapolis survivor Richard Thelen and the<br />
promise he made to his father that brought him home.<br />

STORIES ON THE SKIN TATTOO CULTURE AT FAU<br />
Writer / Producer: Susan Rosenkranz<br />
USA / 2012 / 39 min / DVD / English<br />
Stories on the Skin: Tattoo Culture at FAU is an ongoing creative collaboration<br />
between The Jaffe Center for Book Arts and Dr. Karen J. Leader, of the Department<br />
of Visual Arts and Art History, Florida Atlantic University. The origins of our<br />
project stem not from any hypothesis or opinion about the practice itself. As an<br />
art historian collaborating with a center committed to books as aesthetic objects,<br />
our focus is on a visual medium, the tattoo, and the textual component, the narrative,<br />
which, through interpretation and performance, offer a deeper understanding<br />
of the artful presentation of the self to the world, on the pages of the body.<br />
The film documents the project as students reveal their ink and stories, and answer questions<br />
about motivations, memories, and meanings. Some of these are transformed into<br />
live performances. Using original artworks and score, writer/producer Susan Rosenkranz<br />
weaves these materials into a revealing portrait of 21st-century tattoo culture.<br />

Time Simply Passes is a film about James Joseph Richardson, an orange picker in Florida who was wrongfully<br />
convicted of murdering his seven children in 1967. He spent 21 years in prison, until he was released in 1989<br />
when the conviction was overturned due to unique and miraculous circumstances. Since then, he's been surviving<br />
on donations from friends while attempting to receive compensation from the State.<br />
It's a film about race, about Florida, about the evolution of small-town justice, about lost moments in history,<br />
about permanent flaws built into the American justice system, about corrupt police and politicians, and serves<br />
as an evaluation of the concept of restorative compensatory justice.<br />
The film relies heavily on archival footage, photographs, and documents, and strives to piece together many<br />
disparate elements to tell a story over 40 years in the making.<br />

BATTLE FOR THE BARRIERS FESTIVAL PREMIERE<br />
Director: Sharon Baker / Coastal US / 2015 / 32 min / BluRay / English<br />
Compounded by sea level rise and stronger and more frequent storms, lives<br />
and infrastructure in coastal communities are increasingly at risk for flooding<br />
and wind driven destruction from events like super storm Sandy. Battle for the<br />
Barriers explores adaptation strategies and projects in coastal states along<br />
the Eastern US seaboard designed to help safeguard the people, wildlife and<br />
properties in these storm and flood prone areas. In the absence of Federal policy<br />
to address climate change, state-based organizations, both public and private,<br />
seek to protect beaches, dunes and wetlands--the first line of defense along the<br />
coastlines and inland waterways in harm's way.<br />

ONE COURAGEOUS JOURNEY ACROSS SOUTH AFRICA<br />
Director: Nancy Sutton Smith<br />
South Africa / 2015 / 86 min / BluRay / English<br />
They said it couldn’t – and shouldn’t – be done. South<br />
Africa was in flames from political violence, and the<br />
apartheid government was refusing to give up power.<br />
Risking their lives and careers, South African musician<br />
and music therapist Sharon Katz joined with singer and<br />
educator Nonhlanhla Wanda to form a 500-voice multiracial<br />
choir. Threatened with bombs and thwarted at<br />
every turn, they prevailed and railroaded across the<br />
country aboard The Peace Train to break through<br />
apartheid’s barriers.<br />
Singing their way into the hearts, minds and soul of the<br />
divided country in the midst of a civil war, they promoted<br />
a peaceful transition to democracy and went on<br />
to become Mandela’s face of the new nation. When<br />
Voices Meet documents the trials, tribulations and triumphs<br />
of those musician activists and young choir<br />
members who performed together for seven years and<br />
then reunited 20 years later to tell their stories.<br />

PLUNDERING AMERICA: THE CUBAN AMERICAN PIPELINE<br />
With the sweep of a pen, seemingly overnight, Cuba and the United States went from<br />
foes to friends. Late last year, President Obama announced a plan to normalize relations<br />
with the Castro government, ending 50 years of hostilities. In the ensuing debate,<br />
however, no one was confronting a costly problem: the impact of Cuban crime<br />
rings on the nation.<br />
The Sun Sentinel, in a groundbreaking series published in 2015, documented the<br />
eye-popping scope of the crimes. The investigation found Cuban crime rings had<br />
stolen more than $2 billion from the U.S. over two decades.<br />
How did they gain a foothold and flourish? U.S. immigration policy made it easy. For over 50 years, the U.S. welcomed Cubans as refugees fleeing communism.<br />
The Cuban Adjustment Act allows automatic entry for Cubans who reach American soil and legal residency after just a year, an advantage given<br />
to no other immigrant group and one that aided the criminals.<br />
Meet the investigation team: Sally Kestin and Megan O’Matz and database editor John Maines. After the 2004-05 hurricanes in Florida, the team uncovered<br />
massive fraud in FEMA’s disaster aid nationwide. That series was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in investigative reporting. An investigation by Kestin and<br />
Maines used SunPass toll records to document extreme speeding by off-duty South Florida police won the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal for Public Service.<br />
O’Matz, a graduate of Penn State, joined the Sun Sentinel in 2000 and previously worked for the Chicago<br />
Tribune. Kestin, a graduate of Northwestern School of Journalism, has been at the paper for 17 years.<br />
She came from the Tampa Tribune and started her career at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Maines has<br />
done data work for the newsroom since 1998. He was a reporter for 21 years, working at the Massena<br />
Observer, the Ithaca Journal, and the Clarion-Ledger in Miss. Taimy Alvarez, a photographer/video editor,<br />
is a graduate of the Univ of Florida’s College of Journalism. She has been on Sun Sentinel staff for<br />
the past 17 years, documenting sports, features and news locally and throughout the Caribbean and<br />
South America. Before that, she was a staff photographer with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.<br />

WORLD CINEMA<br />
A MINI-FEST OF ROMANIAN CINEMA<br />
CINEMA PARADISO-LAUDERDALE<br />
OCTOBER 22-25<br />
An event organized by double 4 Studios, Inc, with the partial financial support of the Romanian Cultural Institute,<br />
in partnership with the Romanian american League, Cinema Paradiso and Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival,<br />
with the participation of the Romanian Filmmakers union, and The Romanian Center for National Cinema.<br />
Despite the fact that “Focus on Romania - Ft. Lauderdale Waves 2015” celebrates this Fall only its second year of existence, South<br />
Florida film lovers already cherish its return to CINEMA PARADISO, this October 22nd through 25th.<br />
Five feature films, a documentary and a collection of award winning shorts from Romania will screen at the well-known arthouse, home<br />
of the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF), this year at its 30th edition. Guest filmmakers from Romania will again present<br />
and discuss their work with the interested audiences.<br />
Parties will mark the opening and closing nights, while refreshment will be served between screenings, on Friday and Saturday.<br />
TRAIN OF LIFE<br />
Director: Radu Mihaileanu / Romania / 1998 / 103 min / French w/English sub-titles<br />
This comedy-drama is set in Central Europe during the summer of 1941. Yiddish-speaking<br />
Jews purchase a train, forge identity papers, and leave town. Posing as both prisoners and<br />
Nazis, they hope to reach Palestine via the Soviet Union, but problems arise when they<br />
encounter real Germans.<br />
It’s entertainment that never lets us off the hook. Village Voice<br />
every bit as reverent as “Schindler’s List” and no less successful. Film.com<br />

ORIENTEERING<br />
Director: Dan Pita / Romania / 1982 / 96 min / Romanian w/English sub-titles<br />
A group of people from various walks of life enter an orienteering course in a wilderness, that not<br />
only test their strength and courage, but also their minds and spirit.<br />
funny, whimsical, and densely metaphoric, Orienteering is as equally potent as a wry allegory on<br />
the Ceauşescu regime under the thumb of Soviet-era communism as it is an acutely observed<br />
satire on the petty dynamics of office politics. filmref.com<br />

LIVE<br />
Director: Vad Paunescu / Romania / 2015 / 106 min / Romanian w/English sub-titles<br />
Ema is a successful TV journalist, the host of a popular investigation show. Her success<br />
relies heavily on ratings, and Ema is willing to put her health, and her resources at stake<br />
in order to always discover the truth. But one of the cases propels her into the middle of<br />
a big scandal that will change her life dramatically. Ema is caught between a rock and a<br />
hard place, inside a humongous and dangerous machinery,<br />
Sponsored by<br />

powerful political players.<br />

ALIYAH DADA<br />
Director: Oana Giurgiu<br />
Romanian / 2014 / 116 min / English<br />
In Israel, the Jewish population coming from Romania became the country’s fourth<br />
largest group. They always stayed in the shadow, sometimes hiding their origins,<br />
even though important personalities emerged from that community, and they have<br />
greatly contributed to the progress of their new country. The documentary follows 130<br />
years of immigration of Romanian Jews towards the Holy Land in a light and colorful<br />
depiction of history through human stories and collages. The film is a tribute to the<br />
poet Tristan Tzara – born in the same Romanian small town from where the first Jews<br />
immigrated to Palestine in 1882.<br />
Aliyah DaDa is one of the most pleasant and refreshing surprises of the contemporary<br />
Romanian cinema. Film Magazine, UCIN<br />

LOVE IS A STORY<br />
Director: Cristina Iacob<br />
Romania / 2014 / 97min / Romanian w/English sub-titles<br />
In an old and charming town in Transylvania, a young cellist ( Sebastian) and an attractive<br />
actress ( Aprilia) start a beautiful love story. However, nothing is as simple as<br />
it would seem.<br />
Being influenced by three men with strong personalities, the young Aprilia tries to find the<br />
balance between adulthood and the choices of a girl's heart. It's Christmas time and life<br />
holds for this talented beautiful girl only the presents that she is strong enough to hold.<br />

MEDAL OF HONOR<br />
Director: Calin Peter Netzer<br />
Romania / 2009 / 104 min / Romanian w/English sub-titles<br />
75 year-old, Ion endures the silence of his wife and the indifference of his son, who<br />
is living in Canada and resents his father for preventing him to leave the country before<br />
the ‘89 Revolution, by denouncing him to the secret police. One day, Ion has the<br />
surprise to receive a medal of honor from the Ministry of Defense for some 'heroic'<br />
actions back in WW2, times he barely remembers. The medal forces Ion to reconsider<br />
his whole life. Maybe he wasn't all the time a loser. Maybe his life has a meaning.<br />
Maybe he means something to his family.<br />
Medal of Honor is a happy hybrid of a festival type of movie and one that is enjoyed<br />
by all audiences. It could be labeled as a dark comedy... Revistaclipa.com<br />

To the members and audiences of the fort Lauderdale international film festival<br />
DIAMONDS, RUBIES AND PEARLS<br />
It’s a year of milestone birthday celebrations; Broward County is having<br />
their 100th birthday - the diamond year; Broward Cultural Division’s Public<br />
Art & Design Program celebrates 40 years next year, the Ruby anniversary;<br />
and this year, fort Lauderdale international<br />
film festival celebrates its 30th Pearl Anniversary.<br />
As though in celebration of all these jewels, this year<br />
we have done a unique thing with a very successful<br />
“Filmed in Broward” weekend long film festival that<br />
showcased many of the memorable films shot in<br />
Broward County, and we have attracted some heavyweight<br />
filmmakers over the course of our history!<br />
These filmmakers were interested in borrowing our<br />
palm-lined beaches, our expansive Everglades, our<br />
busy sunlit and moonlit streets, as backdrops for their<br />
stories. The warm breeze, the ocean and twinkling sky<br />
make for good, filmmaking drama, in films such as<br />
Cape fear directed by Martin Scorsese, starring<br />
Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte and Jessica Lange, The Birdcage by Mike<br />
Nicols, starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, both of which included<br />
scenes from Greater Fort Lauderdale.<br />
As independent films go, we know they are called ‘independent’ because<br />
they are produced mostly or completely outside of major film<br />
studios, in addition to being produced and distributed by independent<br />
entertainment, allowing for creative expression outside the big box office,<br />
and personal artistic vision realized. Sometimes, yes, they may<br />
be lower budget as a result, and sometimes this is the price for freedom<br />
to create. For this independence, ‘Independent Film’ is an important<br />
sector of the filmmaking industry.<br />
fort Lauderdale’s international film festival is 30<br />
years ‘Pearl’ strong, and growing right alongside<br />
Broward and indeed, Broward County’s arts and cultural<br />
sector.<br />
The growth and development of fLiff has enticed<br />
filmmakers from Bangladesh, Albania, Belize, Bhutan,<br />
Cambodia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Iceland, India,<br />
Iran, Malawi, Mongolia, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland<br />
and Tanzania, who culminate annually in the<br />
heart of Fort Lauderdale to ‘talk shop,’ exhibit their<br />
productions and exchange global ideas. They bring<br />
the world to us!<br />
The Broward Cultural Council wishes to extend a mutual Happy Birthday<br />
to the fort Lauderdale international film festival, and emphasize<br />
its continued support and partnership in making Broward County a vibrant,<br />
artsy, talented destination for visitors and a home, with quality<br />
of life and international appeal for its residents.<br />
Let’s celebrate our jewels!<br />

Welcome film lovers and filmmakers to our thirtieth anniversary<br />
celebration! We extend a profound Thank You to all of you who may<br />
be attending for the first time, as well as those who<br />
have supported this non-profit cultural icon during its evolution over the<br />
past three decades. Before proceeding to acknowledge those who have<br />
made this enduring legacy possible, please let me share with you a few<br />
grateful thoughts about the wellspring of our success - the magic of film.<br />
Steven Spielberg recently observed, in comparing film to the paintings<br />
of Norman Rockwell, which inspired him, that Rockwell’s gift was<br />
to tell a complete story in a single frame. Although the filmmaker has the<br />
advantages of engaging “dialogue, thunderous special effects, evocative<br />
music, and dramatic lighting” – for Spielberg, both mediums “construct alternative<br />
realities that nurture our love of fantasy, our sense that goodness can exist in the<br />
world, and that ordinary people with ordinary failings can overcome the forces<br />
that threaten our individual and collective lives”.<br />
“A two-hour film has 172,800 frames”, says film critic David Thomson in his<br />
book Moments that Made the Movies; and the special movie moments for the<br />
audience are those which become memories “as potent in our imaginations as<br />
the rooms in which we spent our childhood.”<br />
And consider the unique intimacy of going to the movies. James Baldwin has<br />
observed, in writing about the iconic movie stars, that “only in the movies do you<br />
get to see other persons so intimately… intense, huge, and close up. In life, you<br />
try not to stare at celebrities – in the movies you get two hours to do so – raptly,<br />
even blissfully.”<br />

BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />
Chair Emeritus<br />
And at Cinema Paradiso, thanks to our CEO and President, Gregory<br />
Von Hausch - the great Jedi Warrior – our force for good, and the creative<br />
genius behind all of this - and Bonnie Leigh Adams, our talented<br />
Senior Program Director, we have consistently screened for you the<br />
best of independent and foreign films before their availability in other<br />
venues and before they achieve Golden Globe and Academy Award<br />
recognition, as they often do!<br />
A true grass roots venture, our film festival has grown from an idea<br />
by a handful of visionaries in 1986, without a theater of its own, to an<br />
internationally recognized cultural event and year round exhibitor of<br />
fine films operating in its own two “Cinema Paradiso” theaters in Fort<br />
Lauderdale and Hollywood, Florida!<br />
None of this could have come to pass without the solid support of our members,<br />
State and Broward County grants, assistance from the cities of Fort Lauderdale,<br />
Hollywood and Sunrise, and, especially, the very generous financial support of the<br />
hundreds of contributors, sponsors, and advertisers too numerous to list here!<br />
It is my honor and privilege to follow in the footsteps of former chairpersons<br />
who have built upon those humble beginnings, also too numerous to list, and to<br />
serve with our outstanding Board Members and Advisory Board members and<br />
a remarkable Staff and Volunteers described below.<br />
What a blessing to share with you our celebration of film, our three decades<br />
of progress – and to invite you to experience a banquet of superb selected newly<br />
minted films from all over the world.<br />
– Enjoy !<br />

At the Downtown Jewish Preschool we are proud to offer a creative, progressiv<br />
e,<br />
warm environment, where your child’ s individual style of learning will be valued<br />
and nurtured. We provide small classes<br />
with excellent teacher/student ratio os<br />
and a professional staff of early childh hood specialists.<br />
Our philosophy is inspired by the Re eggio Emilia approach, to cultivate within in<br />
children a lifelong passion for<br />
learning<br />
and exploration. We believe that childre en<br />
are full of curiosity and imagination; they are not empty memory banks waiting<br />
to be filled with facts, figures and dates. The specialized curriculum is flexible<br />
and emerges from children’s ideas, thoughts and observations. Your<br />
child will<br />
receive an enriching education, imbue ed with the warmth of Jewish tradition.<br />
