charm, to investigate. Fandorin - naïve and anxious to learn - vacillates between

insanely bold bravery and full on fear as he throws himself whole-heartedly into this
mystery. Murder and deception compete with duels and reckless gambling as Fandorin
finds himself entangled in the web of the mysterious beauty, Amalia Bezhetskaya, a
femme fatale who enjoys playing with the emotions of her many wealthy admirers.
Fandorin pursues Amalia to foggy London and back, getting himself in and out of
deadly escapades -- he’s almost stabbed to death, finds himself forced into a game of
Russian roulette, he’s bound in a burlap sack and thrown in the Thames to drown, his
memory is in danger of being erased forever and Amalia’s ghost even returns from the
dead to get her revenge. Is this all about money or are the murders and the attempts
on Fandorin’s life part of an international terrorist plot? Is Amalia their sirenlike
ambassador? Should we suspect the British aristocrat Lady Astair, founder of a string
of orphanages which have greatly benefited from the wills of the murdered men?
In this nightmarish world, who can Fandorin trust? Count Zurov, Amalia’s favorite
lover, who challenges and kills every competitor in a duel? The overzealous Brilling,
the special envoy to the Tsar who starts a brutally violent campaign against the
terrorists? Are these “terrorists” even real? Or are they just a smoke screen to cover up

also that time period and its contradictions, its optimism and fury, its co-optation and
transformation, that it instantly carried me back to those days.

bypass possible? Shot on the streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin District in a gritty
documentary style, this portrait of three outsiders shows a world both decaying and
beautiful, where city streets become rivers, sidewalks are bedrooms, and passersby
audience to the blurry line between genius and madness, an unlikely romance and the
magic simplicity of a city witnessed anew.

Unfortunately, the 14th Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people receive little political
support in their drive to put an end to the Chinese brutal regime, as international
governments are seemingly motivated by economic interests in China. The lack of
progress toward a free, or even a truly autonomous Tibet, urges more and more young
Tibetans to consider alternatives to the Dalai Lama’s Middle Way Policy, a compromise
on Tibet’s Independence. The controversial discussion about the right strategy for
achieving a free Tibet - non-violent or violent, autonomy or complete independence - is
becoming more emotionally charged day by day. Monks have been leading Tibet and
Tibetans for generations, not only in religious, but also in worldly matters. But monks
have vows that bind them. And often those vows conflict with the needs of politics. The
Tibetan movement today is divided and weakened by an ongoing argument whether the
Dalai Lama”s Middle Way Policy is the right strategy or not...

Pacheco, Willie Colon, Ismael Miranda, Gilberto SantaRosa and on the reggaeton side
we interviewed billboard chart - topping artists such as Julio Voltio, Tego Calderón,
Hector “El Father” just to name a few.These artists all came together with the same
purpose to discuss how two different styles of music can have so much in common and
how their music is all composed under “La Clave,” the five-note two-bar rhythm pattern
which generates rhythmic measurement and is the foundation and backbone of Salsa
(and all Afro-Cuban based music). They also take you on an extraordinary journey
back in time to the roots that influenced all of these different types of music, which is

GREEDY LYING BASTARDS
Language: English
Director: Craig Scott Rosebraugh
Executive Producer: Daryl Hannah
Melting sea ice, glacier loss and rising sea levels. Severe droughts and wildfires.
Increasingly severe tornadoes, hurricanes, and flooding. Record heat waves. Climate
change is no longer a prediction for the future, but a startling reality of today. Yet, as
evidence of our changing climate mounts and the scientific consensus proves human
causation, there continues to be little political action to thwart the warming of our
planet. “Greedy Lying Bastards” investigates the reason behind stalled efforts to tackle
climate change despite consensus in the scientific community that it is not only a reality
but also a growing problem placing us on the brink of disaster. The film details the
people and organizations casting doubt on climate science and claims that greenhouse
gases are not affected by human behavior. From the Koch Brothers to ExxonMobil,
to oil industry front groups, to prominent politicians and Justices, this provocative
exposé unravels the layers of deceit threatening democracy and the ability for future
generations to survive on planet earth

It started with a picture. It was a picture of a pretty, ambitious, self-dependent young
woman sitting in a coffee shop, in-between college classes. In it, she was minding
her own business, occupied with schoolwork and distracted by a boyfriend she loved
very much. Her name was Jennifer Taylor and she didn’t know the picture had been
taken. She also didn’t know the person who took it. The same person who would
take her too. The picture first surfaced on Twitter and every day afterwards, there
was a new photo of Jennifer, each one getting closer and closer to her, shedding
more light on her very quiet, self-contained life. The pictures were soon followed by
videos that followed her. From a distance, twitter followers watched Jennifer leave
her house each morning, grab a coffee, go to school, study hard and return home
alone at night. Eventually, they would watch Jennifer get those same pictures sent to
her anonymously on her own phone. Based on an actual Twitter account, iKllr is the
story that started as an internet rumor and was quickly shared by twitter followers and
facebook friends alike before making headlines in the spring of 2010 when Jennifer
was reported missing. No one who followed the iKllr twitter account reported
anything. No one wanted to admit they had been watching. No one wanted to admit
that it was true and no one wanted to believe that it was that easy to do.

Year of Production: 2012 Country of Origin: Germany Modern yoga, that is, the form practiced daily by tens of millions of people around
the world, goes back directly to the god Shiva according to Indian tradition. At the
same time, however, modern yoga originated in the early 20th century, a creation of
Indian savant T. Krishnamacharya (1888-1989). That story is far less known and is
what this film is all about. Krishnamacharya’s life and teachings are seen through the
eyes of the director Jan Schmidt-Garre on his search for authentic yoga. His journey
leads him from the legendary students and relatives of Krishnamacharya’s to the source
of modern yoga, at the palace of the Maharaja of Mysore. From Pattabhi Jois Jan learns
the “Sun salutation”, from Iyengar the “King of Asanas”, the headstand, and finally
Sribhashyam reveals to him his father’s secret “Life Saving Yoga Session”. A featurelength documentary including rare historical footage as well as lavish reenactments. FUTURE WEATHER

SOCIAL BUSINESS: A NEW PATH FOR CAPITALISM?
Language: English & French
Director: Nicolas Jouvin, Stéphanie Failloux
Writer: Stéphanie Failloux, Nicolas Jouvin
Executive Producer: Stephanie Failloux
Producer: Stephanie Failloux
Year of Production: 2012 Country of Origin: France Social Business has particularly strong resonance in today’s changing world, where
an increasing number of people, especially among the younger generations, are
questioning the meaning of their lives. The movie provides both a practical illustration
and an analytical overview of Social Enterprise where both sides are intertwined
and echo each other. On the practical side, we used a handicraft social business in
Cambodia near Angkor Wat, Cambolac, founded by a French ex-trader following his
realization that Angkor remained one the poorest regions in Cambodia despite being
one of the most visited places in the world. On the analytical side, we interviewed key
people in Europe, the US and Cambodia, not only in the field of Social Enterprise,
but also in NGOs, Finance and Education. Despite being a topical subject, there are
few movies on Social Business, especially few, like this one, which explores both the
social and business aspects. The idea is to be thought provoking, inspiring and to raise
consciousness about today’s economic, social and environmental issues, so as to build a
more sustainable tomorrow. PARASTOO FILM

Year of Production: 2012 Country of Origin: UK / Sweden In the late ‘60s, a musician was discovered in a Detroit bar by two celebrated producers
who were struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics. They recorded an album
that they believed was going to secure his reputation as one of the greatest recording
artists of his generation. In fact, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into
obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording
found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, it became
a phenomenon. Two South African fans then set out to find out what really happened
to their hero. Their investigation led them to a story more extraordinary than any of
the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez. This is a film about hope,
