We are proud to present the
second annual Mount Shasta
International Film Festival and
Filmmakers Symposium. We are
still in our infancy as we go into
year two of an expanded festival. Last year we showed 20
films including foreign feature
films, American Independent features and documentaries.
This year we will show 32 films and showcase a talented group of filmmakers! We are also expanding to show
films at two locations. We will continue to show movies at Coming Attractions Theatres in Mount Shasta, and
will now also present films at the College of the SiskiyousWeed campus Ford Theater.
We are grateful to the many local businesses who
helped sponsor the Film Festival, advertised with us, and
provided generous gifts for the community. At the same
time we have a group of great volunteers who have put
their hearts into making October 7, 8, 9, 2005 a fantastic
event. A three day film festival is a major undertaking and
we couldn’t have done this without them.
Following our tradition from last year we are offering a free movie to the community as our gift. We are
showing the exceptionally crafted Hallmark Entertainment film, “The Five People You Meet in Heaven,” on
Mount Shasta internationalfilmfestival
Dear Moviegoers
Sunday October 9th at 3:30 PM. The film plays at College
of the Siskiyous-Weed Ford Theater so there’s plenty of
room for everyone.
Last year we had a small group of filmmakers attend
our Festival. One said, “Mount Shasta is like Sundance
without the attitude.” This year we have even more filmmakers coming to conduct Q & A’s with the audience
and to participate in a group Symposium. We will have
documentary and feature film makers join us for the
Filmmakers Symposium at College of the Siskiyous-Ford
Theater on Sunday afternoon to discuss all aspects of
filmmaking.
With our staff, our volunteers, our sponsors and
donors we are poised to bring you an unbelievable three
days of the finest variety of cinema anywhere. Come and
interact with our filmmakers and watch some amazing
films. Be sure to attend our free Friday night GALA party
at Rare Images Gallery. Make this a wonderful Mount
Shasta and Siskiyou County annual event. Join us for a
great time.
We truly have something for everyone! Buy your
tickets early and we’ll see you at the movies.

DOCUMENTARIES
The Beauty Academy of Kabul
USA
Directed by Liz Mermin • Documentary • 74 minutes
Coming Attractions Theatre 1, Mount Shasta
Saturday, October 8 2:00 pm - 3:14 pm
Sunday, October 9
3:00 pm - 4:14 pm
RATING:
For many decades, the women of Afghanistan lived beneath the veil, forced into
literal invisibility in a culture where their presence alone was considered an affront to Muslim doctrine. The thought of getting a fashionable haircut or painting your nails is one of the highest forms of expression in a society no longer
built on masculine oppression. In July 2003, a group of hairdressers from the
Western world descended upon Kabul to open Afghanistan’s first post-Taliban
beauty school and to prepare Afghan women for a taste of financial independence
as well as freedom of expression. Liz Mermin’s account of their journey shows
the profound change in personalities that can come with such endeavors. It also
shows an awakening among the American and British women who set out on a
mission hoping to do a little bit of good in a place they don’t fully understand.
This powerful film confirms that while beauty may be in the eye of the beholder,
empowering people to behold for themselves is just as beautiful.

Born Into Brothels
USA
Directed by Ross Kauffman and Zana Briski • Documentary • 85 minutes
College of the Siskiyous, Weed - Ford Theater
Saturday, October 8 2:00 pm - 3:25 pm
Sunday, October 9
6:15 pm - 7:40 pm
RATING:
Born Into Brothels directors Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman chronicle the amazing
transformation of the children living in Calcutta’s red light district. Briski, a professional photographer and co-director, and Ross Kauffman provide the impoverished
children with cameras and follow them through the streets as they document their
world. In the process of learning photography, the children are exposed to a world
outside of their own and a narrative unfurls during their journey of learning and
self-discovery that may just provide them with the opportunity they desperately
need to escape their unfortunate situations. By framing the children in extreme
close-ups and juxtaposing their own images with those taken by the children, Briski
and Kauffman establish the distinct personality and voice of their subjects while
creating a style that is remarkably fresh and beautiful. Born Into Brothels won the
Academy Award this year for best documentary film.

Dances of Ecstasy (Live Dance Afterwards)
Directed by Michelle Mahrer and Nicole Ma • Documentary • 58 minutes
USA
The film Dances of Ecstasy is a sensory journey into the mesmerizing world of
trance and ecstasy that binds dancers from Manhattan to Morocco. Filmmakers
Michelle Mahrer and Nicole Ma travelled to traditional and modern day rituals to
discover what is the altered state experience which people seek through dance. In
these rituals, Whirling Dervishes from Turkey, Orisha priestesses from Nigeria and
Brazil, shaman healers from the Kalahari and Korea, and dancers in a Gabrielle
Roth workshop in New York, pulse to the same beat as thousands of young people
at an all night techno dance party in an Australian forest. Dances of Ecstasy celebrates the universal human experience where rhythm and dance unite us.

Fragile Machine
USA
Directed by Ben Steele • Documentary / Short • 34 minutes
The film is awash with unusual beauty, gravity, and technique. Fragile Machine is
an underground CG film about science, religion, and humanity’s role in nature.
Through a unique combination of animation and music which some have likened
to an ‘electronic operetta’ it tells the story of the first girl to be built in a factory
instead of born from a human. The questions abound regarding her creation.
Why was she made? Does she have a soul? Where would she go if she died?
We met filmmaker Ben Steele at the Sedona Film Festival and appreciated the
beauty and detail of his film. This short is 34 minutes long and shows with
Searching For The Wrong Eyed Jesus an amusing human interest tale .

Gimme Shelter
USA
Directed by Albert Maysles & David Maysles • Documentary • 91 minutes
The landmark documentary about the tragically ill-fated Rolling Stones free concert at Altamont Speedway on December 6, 1969. Before an estimated crowd of
300,000 people, the Stones headlined a free concert featuring Tina Turner, The
Jefferson Airplane, The Flying Burrito Brothers and others. Concerned about
security, members of outlaw biker gang The Hell’s Angels were asked to help
maintain order. Instead, an atmosphere of fear and dread arose, leading ultimately to the stabbing death of a fan. What began as a flower-power love-in
had degenerated into a near riot; frightened, confused faces wondering how the
Love Generation could, in one swift, cold-blooded slash, became a generation of
disillusionment and disappointment.

Guest cinematographer Stephen Lighthill, ASC, filmed Gimme Shelter and will be
present to discuss this film and the role of cinematography in filmmaking.

High Ambitions in the Himalaya
USA
Directed by Curt Dowdy • Documentary • 57 minutes
Often in the rarified air and extreme climate of the world’s highest mountains, the
most important decision a climber may make is when to turn back. High Ambitions
in the Himalaya follows six international teammates as they attempt Cho Oyu, a
neighbor of Mount Everest and one of fourteen prized 8000-meter peaks (with
summits above 26,000 feet). Facing hardships that test not only endurance but also
judgment and character, the team is reminded that lessons from the journey are
more important than the goal. The film is breathtaking with specially composed
Tibetan music. Director Curt Dowdy climbed 26,000 feet to capture the assault on
the summit. High Ambitions In The Himalaya is put together with humility. As a
result the film has depth alongside challenge and beauty.
]
Curt Dowdy will be conducting a Q & A with the audience after his film. He will also
be joining our other guest filmmakers for a “Filmmakers Symposium” at COS-Ford
Theater on Sunday from 1:30-3:00.

Kiran Over Mongolia
USA
Directed by Joseph S. Spaid, III • Documentary • 86 minutes
Coming Attractions Theatre 1, Mount Shasta
Friday, October 7
12:20 pm - 1:46 pm
RATING:
Kuma, a young Kazak man, retraces the steps of his grandfather who was formerly an eagle master, back to the remote mountainous region of his family’s
origin. There, in extreme western Mongolia, he fulfills his dream of trapping
and training his own eagle. Under the tutelage of a local eagle master named
Khairatkhan, Kuma learns not only the ways of hunting with eagles, but also
the ways of his own people. Set against the staggering and exotic beauty of
Mongolia, Kiran Over Mongolia immerses the viewer in a world forgotten
by time. Much of the film was shot on horseback in some of the most forboding, yet austerely beautiful mountains in the world. A great deal of effort was
focused on capturing the relationships between eagle and master, and master
and apprentice.

RATING:
G All Ages
Mad Hot Ballroom is an inspiring look inside the lives of New York City school
kids on a journey into the world of ballroom dancing, an unexpected arena where
they discover new frontiers about attitude, movement, style and commitment. Told
from the candid, sometimes hilarious perspective of the boys and girls themselves,
the picture chronicles their transformation from typical urban kids to “ladies and
gentlemen,” as their school teams strive towards a final citywide competition. Providing unique insight into the incredible cultural diversity that is truly the soul
of New York City, first time feature filmmakers Marilyn Agrelo and Amy Sewell
profile eleven-year-olds from three public elementary schools. Shooting in neighborhoods, classrooms and in the fifth-graders’ homes, the filmmakers show all the
contradictions of this dynamic and intriguing age, when growing pressure to become a “cool” teenager vies with rambunctious childlike innocence.

The Return of Navajo Boy
USA
Directed by Jeff Spitz • Documentary • 57 minutes
Living for more than six decades in Monument Valley, Utah, the Cly family, part
of the Navajo tribe, has an extraordinary history in pictures. In 1997 a white
man identifying himself as Bill Kennedy from Chicago showed up in Monument
Valley with a silent film called Navajo Boy which he says his late father produced
in the 1950s. Seeking to understand his father’s work on the Navajo Reservation, Kennedy returns the film to the people in it. When Cly family matriarch,
Elsie Mae Cly Begay, watches the film she is amused to see herself as a young girl
and delights in identifying other members of her family. Elsie recognizes her late
mother in the old film as well as her infant brother, John Wayne Cly, who was
adopted by white missionaries in the 1950s and never heard from again.
With The Return of Navajo Boy, Elsie seizes the opportunity to tell her family’s
story for the first time, offering a unique perspective to the history of the American west. Using a variety of still photos and moving images from the 40s and 50s
and telling their family story in their own voices, the Clys shed light on the Native
side of picture making and uranium mining in Monument Valley.

The Ritchie Boys
Directed by Christian Bauer • Documentary • 93 minutes
They were young. The world’s most unlikely soldiers. As teenagers they had escaped the Nazis. They trained in intelligence work and psychological warfare,
and returned to Europe as US soldiers - with the greatest motivation to fight this
war: They were Jewish. They called themselves “The Ritchie Boys.”
In The Ritchie Boys these remarkable, funny, sharp, brave men share their memories with us. On the front lines from the beaches of Normandy onwards, the
Ritchie Boys interrogated German prisoners, defectors and civilians, collected
information of tactical and strategic importance: about troop size and movements, about the psychological situation of the enemy, and the inner workings
of the Nazi-regime. They drafted leaflets, produced radio broadcasts and even
published a German newspaper dropped behind enemy lines.

Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus
USA
Directed by Andrew Douglas • Documentary • 84 minutes
Searching for The Wrong-Eyed Jesus is a captivating and compelling road trip
through the creative spirit of the South. Director Andrew Douglas’s film follows
“Alt” Country singer through a gritty terrain of churches, prisons, truckstops,
biker bars and coalmines. This journey takes you through a very real contemporary Southern America, a world of marginalized white people and their unique
and homemade culture. Along the way are roadside encounters with present-day
musical mavericks including The Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd, 16 Horsepower and David Johansen, old-time banjo player Lee sexton, rockabilly and mountain
Gospel churches - and novelist Harry Crews telling grisly stories down a dirt track.
This documentary plays with the short documentary Fragile Machine.

Friday, October 7
4:25 pm - 5:09 pm
RATING:
G All Ages
Blues-based songwriter Markus James has been travelling to Mali and recording original music with traditional Malian artists since 1994, when he made his
way to the northern-Mali village of Niafounke to meet the legendary guitarist,
Ali Farka Toure. His collaborations with traditional Malian musicians, featuring
Mali’s foremost calabash player Hamma Sankare (who toured and recorded with
Ali Farka Toure for years), have received excellent critical acclaim in the US and
Europe and led to performances in Northern Mali, and now to the new documentary film, Timbuktoubab.
The film captures life in Timbuktu with family, friends and other musicians. The
desert colors resonate with the fantastic music.
We are showing an eleven minute short before Timbuktoubab which features the
Hasidic Reggae/Beat Box/Rapper Matisyahu. The two films show unique personalities with original styles of making music.

Tuaregs and Toubabs is a rollicking romp through Mali – from the Niger River
through Dogon Country, across the Delta to Timbuktu, and, finally, our arrival at

Visioning Tibet presents a unique panorama of contemporary Tibet, revealing
geographies and lives of Tibet that have rarely been seen by American or international television audiences. Filmed over nearly three years by an award-winning
film crew, it tells the remarkable story of a San Francisco doctor who has dedicated his life to ending preventable blindness in this remote part of the world.
The film traces the evolution of Dr. Marc Lieberman’s Tibet Vision Project which
began in 1995. It includes the vivid and moving footage of the meetings Dr.
Lieberman arranged four years earlier, between Jewish teachers and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Dr. Lieberman has worked throughout Tibet training local
doctors to perform modern cataract and lens implant surgery and his project has
restored sight to thousands across the Tibetan high plateau.
Visioning Tibet is a hopeful and inspiring movie, there is tremendous power in
going from blindness to having your vision restored.

We Are Dad
USA
Directed by Michel Horvat • Documentary • 68 minutes
We Are Dad follows the lives past/present/and possible future of Steven Lofton and
Roger Croteau and their 5 foster children. We juxtapose their family with comments from pundits and “experts” from every side of the spectrum as they chime
in on what is today a hot-button issue -- Gay Adoption in America. At the center
of the controversy is the Lofton Family. The two HIV negative gay men, who met
in nursing school and had at the time, been together nearly 5 years, decided to shed
their previous carefree life in South Beach, Florida and focused entirely on fostering
as many of these kids as they could. Using a type of tough love these men raise a
family where security, love and communication is the norm.

The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill
Directed by Judy Irving • Documentary • 83 minutes
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is the true story of a Bohemian man and his
remarkable relationship with a flock of wild green-and-red parrots. Mark Bittner,
a dharma bum, a homeless street musician in San Francisco, falls in with the flock
as he searches for meaning in his life, unaware that the wild parrots will bring
him everything he needs.
Filmmaker Judy Irving is a Sundance-and-Emmy-Award-winning filmmaker.
Her recent six-film documentary series about the San Francisco Bay Area’s wildlife and open space led to her interest in the wild parrot flock flying the city’s
north waterfront.
There is a delightful and whimsical quality to The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill
as we watch wild birds befriend a wild man for a great symbiotic relationship.

The Diva of the title is a famous black opera singer who steadfastly refuses to be
recorded. The singer is idolized by young French mail-carrier Jules, who sneaks a
tape recorder into the theater and records her performance. This is witnessed by
a pair of Taiwanese criminals, who wish to profit from the bootlegged recording.
They begin to pursue the boy, as do a couple of home-grown hooligans who believe
that Jules is in possession of some murder evidence. The serpentine plot leads to a
warm friendship between Jules and the reclusive Diva - and to a brilliantly photographed motorcycle chase through the subway tunnels of Paris. Diva, from 1981,
is one of France’s most creative and unique films. It combines humor, drama, a Zen
hero, a beautiful sound track, bad guys, young love and originality. There is no current distributor for Diva so we obtained the film from the French cultural attaché
in San Francisco who had the film shipped from the French government in Paris.

Amélie, a dreamy and romantic young Belgian woman, arrives in Japan to begin
work as a translator for the giant Yumimoto Corporation. For Amélie, who spent
her childhood in Japan, this is a dream come true. It is her chance to become a
“real Japanese.’’ Eager to please her bosses and co-workers, Amélie diligently accomplishes her daily tasks with invention and enthusiasm. But unfamiliar with the
customs of the Japanese workplace, she commits a series of cultural missteps and is
singled out as a deviant within the company hierarchy, suffering a string of demotions. The harder she tries, the more wrathful her superiors seem to become, the
more unreasonable and humiliating their demands. Unable to stop her downfall,
Amélie suddenly stumbles upon her own extraordinary means of liberation.
Based on Amélie Nothomb’s best selling autobiography, this film stars Sylvie Testud who won the French César award for Best Actress. This film is psychologically

This is a Hallmark Entertainment Film based on the best selling book by Mitch
Albom. Eddie is an eighty-three-year-old war veteran who has outlived all the
people he loved. He spends his days of routine and regret maintaining the rides at
Ruby Pier, a seaside amusement park. Little does Eddie realize his own life—one
that has been exhausted of surprise—is about to come to an end. On this morning unlike all the others, an accident on one of the rides has imperiled a five-yearold girl. In front of a horrified crowd, Eddie attempts to save her life. The last
thing he sees is the little girl’s frightened face contorted in tears and pain. The last
thing he feels is the child’s hands in his. Then, a blinding flash of light and silence,
and Eddie reawakens in an unfamiliar place called Heaven. But he’s not alone.
Five people have been waiting to meet him. Universal truths and old fashioned
storytelling make this a great family film.

Legendary film director Donald Baines (Kirk Douglas) lies dying alone in his
private screening room. Having isolated himself from family and friends, he now
regrets many personal sacrifices. His rejection of his illegitimate child, Christopher, whom he has seen only once in 30 years, brings him the most pain.
Late one night, Donald is awakened by Stan, a favorite editor who has been dead
more than 35 years. Suddenly Donald finds his deathbed magically transported
to an old movie house. Stan informs Donald that he has come to help and that
he will show him three films - three visions - each vision representing a different
period of Christopher’s life.
Kirk Douglas still has charisma. Most important however are the various themes
of “second chance,” and how “love is never too late.” This American Independent Film comes together in an uplifting and meaningful way.

A few weeks before his college entrance exams, Réda, a young man who lives

wide cultural and generational gap between the two is worsened by their lack

respect for himself and his pilgrimage. The father wants to pray in Mecca before
his death. From France, through Italy, Serbia, Turkey, Syria, Jordan to Saudi Arabia, the two embark on a road trip that will change their lives. This journey is a
good example of the importance of faith and the significance of family learning
to communicate with love and respect for one another.

RATING:
Set against a background of richly drawn characters, each of whom are exploring
their own fate and destiny, the film focuses on the story of Kin, a young divorced
mother raising her 12 year old daughter, Mindy. Using a book of Taoist charms
from the local Fortune Telling and Appliance Repair Shop, Mindy (Valerie Tian)
hopes to find a missing turtle, help her single mom win the lottery and maybe fix
up her mother’s love life, too. Oops. The charms might be working, but not exactly
as Mindy intended. Long Life, Happiness & Prosperity tells three interconnected
stories about family, love and hope, and always with a light and deft touch. Set in
Vancouver’s Chinese Canadian community, Long Life, Happiness and Prosperity
manages to cover a lot of generational ground. Great family film.

Myra Smuldanski has done the unthinkable. After years of shunning men she
accepts a date with Reginald Baron, an account executive at the office where she
temps. The only man in her life up to this point has been Ludlow, Myra’s bi-polar younger brother who aspires to be the next Jackson Pollack. Lud is not too
happy with the new man in Myra’s life and tries his best to destroy any budding
relationship between her and Reg. Myra finds herself torn between her role as her
brothers caretaker and the possibility of finding someone who wants to take care
of her. With a gleeful wink to a more innocent cinematic era and classic 1950s
romantic comedies, Love, Ludlow invites us into a crisply constructed, smartly
stylized universe that exists almost outside of time, filled with delightful anachronisms like typewriters, hair rollers, “gentlemen callers,” and characters who say
things like “he’s a card.”

Brazil
Directed by Jorge Furtado • Feature Film • 123 minutes
André works in a photocopying store by day, and goes home each night to draw
comic books. His cartoon fantasies inspire in him dreams of being rich and falling in love with a beautiful woman. The real life object of his affections is really
a sales clerk who lives opposite his apartment. But when André sees something
terrible happen to her, he must act and turn his fantasies into reality. What once
seemed like an innocent fascination turns into a more complex and twisting plot
for these two people. As a result the film combines a light and fun quality with an
edginess that captures Porto Allegre in Southern Brazil.

the criminal world has ever had. When a railway heist goes wrong and an enormous bag of money falls from the sky into the hands of young brothers Damian
and Anthony, there’s only one thing to do--spend it like there’s no tomorrow.
Anthony wants to spend the money on him and his friends to become the most
popular guy in school, but his brother Damian believes it’s a gift from God and
is determined to use the money for good. But it turns out that spending hundreds
of thousands of pounds is tricky when you’re barely old enough to reach over
a shop counter. Millions is a fun and delightful film filled with genuine family
feelings. Although Millions has comedy there is a definite deep and meaningful
message which creates an uplifting feeling.

South Korea
Directed by Chan-Wook Park • Feature Film • 120 minutes
Oh Dae-su is an ordinary Seoul businessman with a wife and little daughter who,
after a drunken night on the town, is locked up in a strange, private “prison”. No
one will tell him why he’s there and who his jailer is, but he is kept in reasonably
comfortable quarters and has a TV to keep him company. The imprisonment lasts
for 15 years until one day when Dae-su finds himself unexpectedly deposited on
a grass-covered high-rise roof. He’s determined to discover the mysterious enemy
who had him locked up. While he’s eating in a Japanese restaurant, his cell phone
rings and a voice dares him to figure out why he was imprisoned.
Oldboy is part of a famous revenge trilogy by director Chan-Wook Park winning
awards at festivals around the world. This film is a very well made psychological
thriller but due to its graphic nature it’s not for everyone.

An old postman has spent his whole life delivering mail to the mountain of Hunan

journey through the mountains, the son begins to appreciate the toil and burden his
father has to bear as postman for the villagers, and the old postman is also deeply
moved as his son relates his mother’s anxiety as she waits for him to return home
from every trip.
Postman in the Mountains has a slow and aesthetic story to tell. The rural Chinese
countryside is beautiful. The characters give a slow and feeling performance. As a
result the film pulls you in, in a quiet and thoughtful way.

Khyentse Norbu’s follow-up to his audience favorite The Cup is the first feature
film ever shot in the tiny kingdom of Bhutan. One of Himalayan Buddhism’s most
revered lamas, Khyentse (aka Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche) weaves parallel fablelike tales about two men who seek to escape their mundane lives in Travellers &
Magicians. Missing the bus, one man hitchhikes with an elderly apple seller, a sage
young monk, and an old man travelling with his beautiful daughter Sonam. Along
the way, the perceptive yet mischievous monk tells him a story of another young
man who sought a land far away: a tale of lust, jealousy and murder that holds
up a mirror to the restless traveller and his blossoming attraction to the innocent
Sonam. Travellers & Magicians is a magical mixture of rustic road movie and
mystical fable...a potpourri of desire and its consequences, set in a breathtaking
landscape.

West Side Story is an energetic, widely-acclaimed, melodramatic musical. The
modern-day, loose re-telling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet tragedy of feuding families, is set in the Upper West Side of New York City in the late 1950s.
West Side Story is still one of the best film adaptations of a musical ever created,
and the finest musical film of the 60s.
West Side Story was named the best picture of 1961 and won 10 Academy Awards.
This was the first American musical where the late great Leonard Bernstein wrote
the music, Stephen Sondheim wrote the lyrics and famed choreographer Jerome
Robbins designed the dance routines. The music, dance and intensity makes West
Side Story one of the greatest American musicals ever made.
