FROM THE FESTIVAL
Welcome to the 22nd annual Hamptons International Film Festival. We’ve had quite a year. Since
January we’ve continued our commitment to year-round programming on the East End. With Guild Hall,
a longtime partner, we screened a Hitchcock favorite, Vertigo; completed our 6th SummerDocs series
with the East End’s own Alec Baldwin; and completed another sold out Student Filmmaking Workshop.
With Southampton Arts Center, we again programmed a full slate of Friday outdoor screenings of classic
films, inaugurated a new Summer Family Film Festival, and produced an additional Student Filmmaking
Workshop. Additionally, and for the past 13 years, we held our Screenwriters’ Lab with the support of
our now 15-year partner, The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. This program serves to successfully shepherd
screenplays towards the goal of production, and with three films produced from our last three editions,
the Lab continues to reach new heights.
Before we get to the Festival, we would first like to thank this year’s incredible Honorary Chairman, Bob
Balaban, for his service. He has been a loyal board member for well over a decade and brings his own
comedic brand of cinema to our screens this year with a new HIFF trailer that Bob has produced and
directed. It is certain to delight.
It is with tremendous excitement and pride that we present to you, our loyal audiences, our 22nd Edition.
As we do every year, HIFF will celebrate our Signature Programs. The 22-year-old Conversation with…
series that started with legends Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg will culminate with not one but five
conversations; the venerable director Joel Schumacher, and actors Laura Dern, Patricia Clarkson, Hilary
Swank, and Mark Ruffalo. HIFF’s Conflict and Resolution section shows films from war-torn areas around
the world. We thank our long time board member and tireless advocate Kim Brizzolara and the Brizzolara
Family Foundation for their continued support towards this necessary and vibrant program. And again
we single out The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and Doron Weber who have enabled us to highlight films
exploring science and technology and give a $25,000 prize to a worthy film and filmmaker. This year’s film
The Imitation Game satisfies this mission with aplomb, and we encourage you to join us for a look back
at our incredible 15-year history at the panel just after the Saturday screening.
Stuart Match Suna
Chairman
Anne Chaisson
Executive Director
Our Focus on Chinese Cinema this year continues our interest in exploring the world’s most dynamic
regions of cinema. We would like to thank Advisory Board Chair Jeffrey Sharp, as well as Peter Brown, for
their continued work and innovation with this program.
We are also thrilled to once again partner with Variety on the “10 Actors to Watch” program celebrating
breakthrough actors, as well as our continued partnership with the New York Film Critics Circle. It is with
great pleasure that we also welcome new partners Delta, Showtime Networks, NYU Langone, Kaufman
Astoria Studios, Suffolk County Film Commission, WNBC, and longtime supporters Altour, A&E Indie Films,
Wall Street Journal, The Alec Baldwin Foundation, Silvercup Studios, and Beach Magazine.

Suffolk County Executive
It is a pleasure to send greetings to everyone gathered for the 22nd
annual Hamptons International Film Festival.
I am honored to welcome all of you to the 2014 Hamptons International
Film Festival, a respected event in our community that celebrates and
showcases independent screenwriters, filmmakers, and films.
New York is a global center of culture, art, and entertainment, and proudly
welcomes the international film community to an event which offers the
finest in cinematic works. Founded in 1993, the Hamptons International
Film Festival is one of the most popular celebrations of independent film
and a perfect venue for introducing a diverse pool of talented individuals
from around the world who bring great works to the big screen.
A highlight of the fall season, this festival presents an array of cinematic
offerings—from international film projects, to movie shorts, to full-length
documentaries. Long Island’s East End is the perfect setting for this
celebration of work inspired by some of the most creative, innovative
filmmakers working in the industry today.
I join in applauding the festival organizers and am certain that this year’s
event will once again capture audiences with an exciting selection of films
and wonderful cinematic experiences.
Warmest regards, and best wishes for an enjoyable, successful festival.
We celebrate the twenty second year of the founding of the festival
to celebrate Independent film—long, short, fiction and documentary.
I applaud the dedication of the founders and organizers of this event.
They are truly committed to highlighting creative projects, supporting
enlightened ideas, and showcasing diverse perspectives all available
through the medium of film.
During the week of October 9th through 13th over 18,000 people will attend
this year’s film festival. We welcome all of you to Suffolk County and thank
you for recognizing the significance and importance of this festival. While
you are here, please enjoy the many historical and cultural offerings
featured in the Hamptons.
I offer my best wishes as you celebrate global film talent and spend time
with friends and family in this beautiful area of Suffolk County.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,

Mayor, Southampton
I welcome all participants in the Hamptons International Film Festival
to the Village of East Hampton. We congratulate the Festival for its 22nd
consecutive year of bringing exciting films to our village.
On behalf of the Village of Southampton Board of Trustees, our residents,
and local merchants, I would like to welcome you once again to the 22nd
annual Hamptons International Film Festival. The Village of Southampton
is honored to host several of the theatre venues for the Hamptons Film
Festival. I also would like to thank Hampton International Film Festival for
a successful partnership with the Southampton Center in Southampton
Village this past summer.
I want to invite everyone to enjoy our community with its important
historical buildings and its Main Street, once designated America’s
Most Beautiful Village, and our beautiful beaches, especially Main
Beach—awarded each year as one of the top beaches on the East Coast.
A special thanks to HIFF’s
Best wishes for continued success, enjoy the films and culture and history
of East Hampton.
Honorary Chair
Bob Balaban
for his outstanding support
Paul F. Rickenbach, Jr.
P.S. Please avoid a parking summons in the Village Center parking lots
and on the streets, where parking times are limited. Park all day for
free at the Lumber Lane Lot and walk 4 minutes to the Village Center.
The oldest English settlement in New York, the Village of Southampton,
settled in 1640 and incorporated in 1894, was named after the British
Earl of Southampton. We are home to Cooper’s Beach, which was not
only named number one beach in the United States a few years ago, but
National Geographic ranked Cooper’s Beach the No. 2 Family Beach in the
country. While in Southampton Village take the time to stroll through our
historic, quaint business district, patronize our local merchants, and enjoy
a bite to eat, or visit one of our several museums.
I would like to thank you for supporting the Hamptons International Film
Festival. The Film Festival is an opportunity for one to experience a variety
of ideas, thoughts, opinions, and dreams from over 100 filmmakers. It is
imperative that we continue to support and promote the arts and film as an
important medium. Enjoy.
Sincerely,

The buzz starts here: our gala screenings and Spotlight
Films feature an array of star-studded films that will
surely count among the year’s best.
FOXCATCHER
USA, 2014, 133 minutes, English
With the Academy Award®-nominated features MONEYBALL and CAPOTE, director
Bennett Miller turned real-life stories into powerful drama. With FOXCATCHER, he
delivers his most stunning and unsettling film yet. Based on true events, the film
follows Olympic Gold Medal-winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) and his
revered brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo) as they fall into the orbit of an eccentric multimillionaire, John du Pont (Steve Carell), with the ambiguous goal of launching Mark to
fame and glory. Nothing quite prepares you for FOXCATCHER, as this riveting strangerthan-fiction tale turns dark and tragic.

East Coast Premiere, USA, 2014, 119 minutes, English
Maggie (Melissa McCarthy), a single mother, moves into a new home in
Brooklyn with her 12-year-old son, Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher). Forced to
work long hours, she has no choice but to leave Oliver in the care of their
new neighbor, Vincent (Bill Murray), a retired curmudgeon with a penchant
for alcohol and gambling. Together with Daka (Naomi Watts), a pregnant
stripper, Vincent brings Oliver along on his daily routine: the race track,
a strip club, and the local dive bar. An odd friendship soon blossoms
between the improbable pair in Theodore Melfi’s charming comedy.
Academy Award® winner Reese Witherspoon stars in this superb adaptation
of Cheryl Strayed’s best-selling 2012 memoir. Devastated by the death of
her mother from cancer in 1991, the 22-year-old Strayed spiraled toward
self-destruction, ending her marriage and eventually becoming addicted to
heroin. Four years later, seeking to leave her scars behind, she embarked on
a life-changing journey: a solo, 1,000-mile hike along the Pacific Crest Trail.
Scribed by Nick Hornby (HIGH FIDELITY, AN EDUCATION), director (and HIFF
alum) Jean-Marc Vallée’s follow-up to DALLAS BUYERS CLUB is an inspiring
voyage of pain and discovery, anchored by Witherspoon’s great performance
and aided by a terrific supporting cast that includes Laura Dern.

Directed by Tommy Lee Jones, THE HOMESMAN is based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize
nominee Glendon Swarthout and follows the pious, independent-minded Mary Bee Cuddy
(Hilary Swank) as she transports three “damaged” women by covered wagon to Iowa
across the American frontier. She soon realizes just how daunting the journey will be, and
employs a feisty low-life drifter, George Biggs (Jones), to join her. The unlikely caravan head
east, where a waiting minister and his wife (Meryl Streep) have offered to take the women
in. But the group first must traverse the harsh Nebraska Territories, marked by stark
beauty, psychological peril, and constant threat.
WILD
Closing Night Film
STILL ALICE
US Premiere, USA, 2014, 99 minutes, English
Alice Howland (Julianne Moore), happily married with three grown children, is a renowned
linguistics professor who starts to forget words. When she receives a diagnosis of EarlyOnset Alzheimer’s, Alice and her family find their bonds thoroughly tested. Her struggle
to stay connected to who she once was is frightening, heartbreaking, and inspiring.
Filmmakers Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland (THE LAST OF ROBIN HOOD,
QUINCEAÑERA) treat Alice’s disease with great sensitivity and care, yet never reach for
sentimentality or easy answers. Julianne Moore gives a great, moving performance, and is
ably supported by a cast that includes Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart.

SPOTLIGHT FILMS
SPOTLIGHT FILMS
BIRDMAN or (the unexpected virtue of ignorance)
LAGGIES
In an effort to erase the shadow of his biggest on-screen role, the enormously popular Birdman, Riggan
Thomson (Michael Keaton) heads to Broadway. He banks his artistic ambitions (and dormant talents) on
his upcoming theatrical production of Raymond Carver short stories, but before the footlights shine he
must deal with an erratic replacement (Edward Norton), his bitter daughter (Emma Stone), and Birdman
himself. Thus the stage is set for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s brilliant, one-of-a-kind phantasmagoria, powered
by unique special effects, exhilarating camera work, and a dynamite cast.
Megan (Keira Knightley) is content to work as a sign flipper for her doting father’s accounting company.
When her high school boyfriend proposes at her friend’s wedding, she panics. Pretending to go to a
professional-development retreat, she befriends 16-year-old Annika (Chloë Grace Moretz) and hides
out in her house with her attractive single dad (Sam Rockwell). Finally feeling liberated, Megan is taken
by surprise as their lives suddenly and unexpectedly intertwine. With hilarious performances, Lynn
Shelton’s LAGGIES is a nuanced and heartwarming addition to the director’s impressive body of work.

CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA
France, 2014, 123 minutes, English/French
THE LAST FIVE YEARS
Acclaimed director Olivier Assayas’ newest film is a rewarding enigma. At the peak of her career,
Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche) is asked to perform in a revival of the play that made her famous
twenty years ago. No longer in the alluring young role, she must confront her own insecurities
resonating with her vulnerable, older character and the subsequent career shift. Her assistant
(Kristen Stewart) represents a version of her younger self, while a scandal-ready Hollywood starlet
(Chloë Grace Moretz) takes on Maria’s star-making role. Soon Maria finds herself face to face with
ambiguously charming women who are her unsettling reflection.

ELEPHANT SONG
US Premiere, Canada, 2014, 98 minutes, English
Jason Robert Brown’s THE LAST FIVE YEARS is among the most beloved modern musicals, and
writer/director Richard LaGravenese’s invigorating and poignant film is among the most successful
stage-to-screen adaptations in years. Academy Award® nominee Anna Kendrick (PITCH PERFECT,
UP IN THE AIR) and Jeremy Jordan (SMASH) star as a young couple whose rollercoaster five-year
relationship has come to an end. Yet the film traces their romance from two diverging perspectives:
following Jamie (Jordan) forwards from their first meeting to their break-up, and following Cathy
(Kendrick) backwards from the final heartache to the first stirrings of love.

LEARNING TO DRIVE
After the strange disappearance of his colleague, Dr. Toby Green (Bruce Greenwood) is called to the
hospital to get to the bottom of the story before word gets out. There, he finds Michael (Xavier Dolan),
a troubled and deceptive patient, spinning a web of lies while Nurse Peterson (Catherine Keener), the
only one who understands Michael, is repeatedly pushed away. Charles Binamé‘s ELEPHANT SONG,
adapted by Nicolas Billon from his play, is a complex, visually striking thriller that blurs the line
between doctor and patient. As the stakes get higher, the elaborate mind games get them further
from the truth.

hits a unique roadblock: she never learned to drive. Her life is forever changed when she meets
Darwan (Ben Kingsley), a driving instructor and part-time cab driver on the brink of an arranged
marriage. In each other’s company, Wendy and Darwan find the courage to ask for directions, the
strength to move forward, and a friendship for the ride. Runner-up for the People’s Choice Audience

MADAME BOVARY
Winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize, see page 23.
Benedict Cumberbatch delivers a monumental performance as British mathematician Alan Turing
in Morten Tyldum’s stirring historical drama. Told via flashback, THE IMITATION GAME tracks the
young, brilliant, and socially awkward Turing in the early days of World War II as he applies for a topsecret position tasked with decoding the “unbreakable” Nazi cipher machine called Enigma, used to
encrypt all military radio transmissions. His work was famously labeled by Winston Churchill as “the
greatest single contribution to victory,” but after the war he suffered great personal and professional
turmoil as he dealt with his homosexuality in a time when it was illegal.

The beautiful wife of a small-town doctor engages in extra marital affairs in an attempt to advance

(COLD SOULS) adaptation of Gustave Flaubert’s seminal 19th century novel. Still widely read (and
controversial) to this day, MADAME BOVARY receives a gorgeous, spellbinding, and astute rendering in
Barthes’s hands, fleshed out by pristine production values and a great cast, including Mia Wasikowska
in the title role and Ezra Miller, Paul Giamatti, and Rhys Ifan in supporting performances.

other mayhem, Lou muscles into the dangerous realm of nightcrawling—where each police siren wail

place to sleep. He is homeless in New York City. Filmmaker Oren Moverman (THE MESSENGER) and star

Tired of the constant policing, Charlie (portrayed by the gray-maned David Gulpilil) stubbornly
copes with the encroaching “white man’s laws” into his remote Aboriginal community in Australia’s
Northern Territory. He goes back to his roots to live the “old way,” only to set off a chain of events he
didn’t see coming. Director Rolf de Heer crafts a subtle portrait of a man caught between two cultures
and creates an exquisite showcase for his co-writer, veteran actor Gulpilil (WALKABOUT, RABBIT

THE LOOK OF SILENCE
Documentary, USA, 2014, 102 minutes, Indonesian/Javanese
While Joshua Oppenheimer’s groundbreaking documentary, THE ACT OF KILLING, cast a light on
the victors of the mid-1960s Indonesian genocide, his equally devastating follow-up THE LOOK OF
SILENCE focuses on one family’s struggle to understand the horrific murder of their loved one. Adi,
a humble optometrist in a rural village, stoically stares at clips from the first film before deciding to
confront his brother’s executioners, many of whom are still in power. Opening old wounds, asking
the hard questions, and receiving veiled threats, he attempts to start a dialogue between victims and
killers who for generations have lived side-by-side in silence.

committed individuals as they balance their personal and family
lives with their intense work life in the field.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” said Nelson
Mandela. Tamara Erde’s first feature-length film examines how the shared, complex, and
charged history of Israel and Palestine is taught to the next generation in this volatile region.
Does it fuel conflict or encourage peace? How much freedom does the Ministry of Education give
teachers? Through dialogues, debates, and field trips at six independent schools, this fascinating
documentary observes how young minds are shaped by what is said and what is unspoken.
THIS IS MY LAND also screens as part of Golden Starfish Awards: Documentary Feature program.

Orlando von Einsiedel fashions together a thrilling documentary, introducing us to the brave people
protecting the park: a Belgian conservationist leading the army of park rangers; an ex-child soldier
and a young French journalist who covertly films local politicians and international businessmen; and
a ranger who has become a surrogate parent to orphaned gorillas.

GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM
Discover exciting new talent: our Golden Starfish Awards honor
emerging narrative and documentary film artists from all over
the world, representing cinema’s next wave of master directors.
GOLDEN STARFISH AWARD: NARRATIVE FEATURE
This final piece of the trilogy by Israeli siblings Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz explores the unfolding of a
marriage under the jurisdiction of a rabbinical court. Under this law, Jewish marriage may only end
if the husband presents a “gett”, a divorce document, to his wife. Calling attention to a male-dominated and sometimes decade-long process, and set entirely in the courtroom, this brilliantly written
and acted film reveals the slow dissolution of a marriage between Vivane (Ronit Elkabetz) and Elisha
(Simon Abkarian). Balancing the seriousness of what’s at stake with an often-humorous tone, GETT
offers a deeply moving take on an otherwise painful procedure.

BREATHE “respire”
US Premiere, France, 2014, 91 minutes, English/French/Italian/Spanish
Famed actress Mélanie Laurent (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, ENEMY) steps behind the camera for
BREATHE, an assured and refined look at fragile adolescent friendships. Entering the private world of
Charlie and Sara, whose raw attraction quickly makes them inseparable, we see tenderness turn sour as
Sarah shifts her attention to a young pilot, leaving Charlie heartbroken. Superbly acted by Josephine Japy
and Lou De Laage, BREATHE is an honest look at young friendships, where passion can easily turn into
obsession, and where the harsh reality of trying to find one’s voice can leave one devastated.

THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY
East Coast Premiere, UK, 2014, 101 minutes, English
Much like the rare caterpillar-butterfly of its title, Peter Strickland shifts THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY
from a classic melodrama into a perverse, lesbian, sadomasochistic experience, and all done with
an artist’s eye for mood and detail. Both the gothic scenery and haunting score envelop the senses
and manipulate the viewer into a feeling of frenzy. Elevated by powerful and sensual performances
by the two female leads, Strickland’s strange film achieves a unique beauty and profundity that rests
between David Lynch’s MULHOLLAND DR. and Luis Buñuel’s BELLE DE JOUR.

LITTLE ACCIDENTS
New York Premiere, USA, 2014, 105 minutes, English
In a tiny coastal village in Brazil, Shirley and Jeison pass their time working on a coconut plantation. Outside of work, he dives for seafood while she sunbathes and dreams of being a tattoo artist. Their restless
yet tranquil life is provoked when intense tropical storms approach, washing ashore a corpse. Drawing on
his documentary roots, Gabriel Mascaro deliberately eschews a traditional narrative in favor of an atmospheric and lyrical approach. Weaving the textures of the landscape with superb, natural performances,
Mascaro delicately reveals a thoughtful and sometimes humorous meditation on life and death.

A haunting portrait of unintended consequences, LITTLE ACCIDENTS follows a small town in the
wake of a mining disaster that leaves 10 dead and the delicate social fabric of a community in
tatters. Its disparate residents become bound to one another through shared grief and a series of
shocking revelations: Diana, the chief executive’s wife with a missing son; Amos, the lone survivor of
the tragedy; and Owen, a local boy left fatherless. A stunning work by first-time feature filmmaker
Sara Colangelo, it features a stellar cast, including Elizabeth Banks, Boyd Holbrook, and Chloë Sevigny. Colangelo’s LITTLE ACCIDENTS was a project in the 2013 HIFF Screenwriters’ Lab (p.64).

THIS IS MY LAND
US Premiere, France, 2014, 93 minutes, English/Hebrew/Arabic
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” said Nelson Mandela,
and Tamara Erde’s first feature-length film examines how the shared, complex, and charged history
of Israel and Palestine is taught to the next generation in this volatile region. Does it fuel conflict or
encourage peace? How much freedom does the Ministry of Education give teachers? Through dialogues,
debates, and field trips at six independent schools, this fascinating documentary observes how young
minds are shaped by what is said and what is unspoken.
THE GREAT INVISIBLE
The Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded on April 20, 2010, devastating communities throughout the
Gulf Coast of the United States. Eleven lives were lost, the natural ecosystem destroyed, and the
pollution forced countless local businesses to shut down. Margaret Brown’s THE GREAT INVISIBLE,
winner of the Grand Jury prize at SXSW, is a thought-provoking and complex human drama that lifts
the curtain on a corrupt and negligent industry driven by greed. With harrowing testimonies from survivors, families, local fisherman, and others perpetually affected by the disaster, Brown seeks to tell a
sobering and layered account of a tragedy still unfolding.

VELVET TERRORISTS “zamatoví teroristi”
US Premiere, Slovakia/Czech Republic/Croatia, 2013, 83 minutes, Slovak/
Czech
Charged as terrorists, but now hailed as heroes, three Czechoslovakians recount and reenact
their odd and fascinating tales of armed resistance against the old communistic powers. Three
portraits by three directors: a presidential assassination foiled through sheer laziness; a botched
political tribune bombing due to alcoholism; and a notorious bulletin board bomber who wanted
nothing more than to blow up… you guessed it. Each story may be different, but the sentiment is the
same: actions define you, and even if you don’t hurt anyone or change anything, they still may be
recognized for better or for worse.
KILLING TIME
New York Premiere, The Netherlands, 2013, 54 minutes, English
June 12, 2013, in Huntsville, Texas: preparations take place for the lethal injection of Elroy Chester, a
man convicted of raping two teenage girls and murdering their uncle. After 15 years on death row, Chester will be executed at precisely 6PM. While his family prepares to say goodbye, the victims prepare for
closure. KILLING TIME is the emotional follow-up to the 1995 film, PROCEDURE 769, WITNESS TO THE
EXECUTION, which examined those who came to Chester’s court sentences. Returning to Texas, director
Jaap van Hoewijk turns his lens on the people most affected as they pass the final hours.

Love is hard. It’s rarely forgiving and often more trouble than it’s worth. Think of how difficult it
would be if you couldn’t read any signs from a prospective partner. Enea is looking for love in Italy—
physical love, that is. But for someone who suffers from autism, this is anything but easy. So Enea
and his two best friends, Carlo and Alex, set out on a journey through Europe and eventually find
a lot more than they were looking for. It’s often said personal and difficult tasks are labors of love;
well, this story couldn’t be more accurate.

Aspiring writer Brian Bloom (Anton Yelchin) is at a professional low point when he bumps into a
beautiful French woman, Arielle (Bérénice Marlohe). She agrees to see him, but only between 5 and
7 PM. When he finds out “5 to 7” is a French turn-of-phrase meaning she’s actually married, his
common sense tells him to stay away, but his heart pulls them closer as the two begin a dreamy
love affair. With Glenn Close and Frank Langella in supporting roles as Brian’s parents, this film is
as much a declaration of love to New York City as it is an unusual fairy tale.

ALL AMERICAN HIGH REVISITED
Presented by
Documentary, East Coast Premiere, USA, 2014, 82 minutes, English/Finnish
Insightful and charming, at times poignant, ALL AMERICAN HIGH REVISITED takes you back in time
to the excess and naiveté of America in the 1980s. The film follows Finnish exchange student Rikki
Rauhala throughout her senior year at a suburban California school. A revealing slice of Americana,
the film is a John Hughes movie come to life. A critical success during its initial release, REVISITED
returns 30 years later to add a final chapter and finally answer the question, whatever became of
those archetypes: the jock, the punk, and the prep?

inspired by the cult classic THE HONEYMOON KILLERS, Frabice du Welz’s ALLELUIA unravels into a
passionate and violent affair led by Dueñas’s groundbreaking performance as a woman willing to
do anything to keep her man—even kill. Balancing deep emotions with explosive rage, Welz’s starcrossed lovers are simultaneously devoted and destructive.

AMIRA & SAM
DANCING ARABS
Narrative, East Coast Premiere, USA, 2014, 88 minutes, English/Arabic
Narrative, East Coast Premiere, Israel/Germany/France, 2014, 104
minutes, Arabic/Hebrew
A delightfully modern take on the romantic comedy, AMIRA & SAM is a charming confluence of
traditional Hollywood-style romance with the reality of life in an age of terrorism. It tells the tale of
Sam, an Iraqi war veteran struggling to assimilate into life in an indifferent New York City. Enter into
this hectic world the spirited refugee Amira; Sam’s life will never be the same. Starring Martin Starr
(FREAKS & GEEKS, SILICON VALLEY), Paul Wesley, and Dina Shihabi, AMIRA & SAM marks the feature
film debut of writer/director Sean Mullin.
Based on the semi-autobiographical novel by screenwriter Sayed Kashua, DANCING ARABS is Eran
Riklas’s charming coming-of-age story of Eyud, an Arab-Israeli who leaves his small town of Tira
to attend a prestigious boarding school in Tel Aviv. The whip-smart son of a fruit picker (and former
communist protester) faces obstacles: the language, his studies, and his Jewish girlfriend. He then meets
Yonatan, a classmate with multiple sclerosis, and—amidst a soundtrack of ‘80s punk music—the two
become as close as brothers. As Yonatan’s health declines, Eyud drops out of school and must decide
what is next for him.

A refreshingly candid documentary film, BACK ON BOARD follows four-time Olympic champion Greg
Louganis over the past three years as he struggles with financial security and reunites with the
sport he once dominated. With unprecedented access, the film reveals the complicated life of an
athlete whose grace, beauty, and courage sparked a worldwide fascination with diving. It chronicles
Louganis’ rise from a difficult upbringing to nearly universal acclaim as the greatest diver ever, and
from pioneering openly gay athlete with HIV to overlooked sports icon.

BANKSY DOES NEW YORK

In this follow-up to YOU’VE BEEN TRUMPED (HIFF 2011), filmmaker Anthony Baxter is still hot on Donald
Trump’s tail as the billionaire sets out to build yet another luxury golf course along the idyllic Scottish
seaside. As locals unite to halt construction, their counterparts in Croatia are engaged in a similar
battle of public will as they face down developers (and politicians) of their own. A dogged, entertaining
storyteller, Baxter weaves together compelling interviews and highlights these David-and-Goliath stories
for a purpose: imploring us to take a stand against turning our natural resources into global vacation
spots for the ultra-rich.

THE DARKSIDE
Documentary, World Premiere, USA, 2014, 80 minutes, English
Documentary, US Premiere, Australia, 2013, 94 minutes, English
Millions have followed his work, yet very few know the real identity of controversial street artist,
Banksy. Last October, the elusive graffiti artist, painter, and filmmaker completed a month-long
residency in New York using the city as his canvas, kicking up dust all over the streets and the
Internet. His controversial and often political multimedia work inspired New York artists, activists, and
even a few property owners. This new documentary by Chris Moukarbel follows Banksy’s mark on
the city primarily through footage shot by his most devoted followers who were there to catch the art
before it was destroyed.

usual few months, to prepare for the biggest haute couture event of the year, Paris Fashion Week. As

DIPLOMACY “diplomatie”
GABRIEL
Narrative, East Coast Premiere, Germany/France, 2014, 85 minutes,
German/French
Towards the end of World War II, General Dietrick von Choltitz, the governor of Nazi-occupied Paris,
receives an order to destroy the city if the Nazis lose it to Allied forces. With explosives strapped to
bridges and landmarks, the General is prepared to carry out this atrocity when Swedish Consul General Raoul Nordling appears in his office and pleads with him to abandon the plan. Adapted from the
stage and directed by legendary German filmmaker Volker Schlöndorff (THE TIN DRUM), DIPLOMACY
is deeply connected with its moment in history, yet resounds with timeliness in its study of ideologies
and the necessary search for common ground.

Longing for stability in the throes of mental illness, Gabriel (Rory Culkin) will stop at nothing until
he proposes to his high school girlfriend—nevermind the fact that they haven’t seen each other in
years. Abrasive and irrational, Gabriel nonetheless evokes empathy as he winds his way through
New York City and Long Island on his quest, in large thanks to Rory Culkin’s commanding performance. A sure-footed portrait of a young man on the edge, Lou Howe’s debut feature examines our
fixation with the nuclear household, and whether or not it’s all it’s cracked up to be.
GARDEN LOVERS “eedenistä pohjoiseen”
ESCOBAR: PARADISE LOST
Documentary, East Coast Premiere, Finland, 2014, 73 minutes, Finnish
Unflinchingly candid and beautifully romantic, GARDEN LOVERS is an examination of life’s poetry.
Following a diverse group of Finnish couples whose passions are rooted in the tender care of
their gardens, this documentary frames the delicate mundanity of everyday life with breathtaking
stillness and beauty. Lush and verdant, this work by Virpi Suutari is a healing consideration of
nature’s grand design; an ultimate homage to the profound and bittersweet splendor of love in all its
panoply of form.

Guiding this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, director Johannes Holzhausen takes us behind the scenes
with an all-access pass to Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum and its magnificent operations. During
last year’s preparations for the reopening of the famed Kunstkammer collection, Holzhausen followed
curators, conservators, and administrators, observing how they skillfully keep the museum functioning.
Omitting a dramatic score and interviews, Holzhausen opts for a fly-on-the-wall approach, allowing the
audience not only to learn about this incredible institution, but also to experience history in the making
from within.

HAPPY VALLEY centers on the people of State College, Pennsylvania and its conflicted reactions to
the Penn State football scandal in the months following Jerry Sandusky’s arrest for child molestation.
With interviews with those directly involved and die-hard fans alike, documentarian Amir Bar-Lev
(THE TILLMAN STORY, MY KID COULD PAINT THAT) captures the college town as it struggles to define
itself in the wake of Sandusky’s crimes and the negligence allegations leveled against coach Joe
Paterno, his staff, the college’s administration, and (according to some in the media) the town itself.

Tomas, Ebba, and their two kids are on an idyllic family vacation at a ski resort in the French Alps
when a controlled avalanche cascades towards them with no signs of slowing down. In a panic,
Tomas makes a run for it, leaving his entire family behind. A favorite at Cannes, Ruben Östlund’s
engrossing drama is a masterful and intellectual reflection on the primal instincts that shake the
core of the family structure. Unfolding with an assured vision and dark humor, every moment
reinforces and comments on the tension between social responsibility and self-preservation.

THE GREAT MUSEUM “das grosse museum”
Narrative, US Premiere, China, 2014, 86 minutes, mandarin
In this quiet melodrama from acclaimed Chinese filmmaker Wang Chao, a family’s trials and
tribulations begin to overwhelm them after the patriarch’s sudden illness renders him ill equipped
to work. With its specific setting—in southwest China, in a city named Chongqing—and its muted
colors and style, FANTASIA is a brilliant portrait of an ever-changing environment and its effects on
a family unit. Coupled with Wang Chao’s seamless storytelling, FANTASIA stands apart as a rarefied
achievement yet universal as heartfelt drama.

IRIS
LOW DOWN
The great documentarian Albert Maysles’ latest film is about fashion and interior-design maven
Iris Apfel, now 93 years old, as she celebrates the late wave of popularity she enjoyed on the heels
the Met’s 2006 exhibition of her collection of often affordably priced fashion accessories. Maysles
(GREY GARDENS), who pops up from time to time as a cheerful on-camera presence, follows Iris as
she makes selections for the touring exhibition, advises young women on their fashion choices, and
bargains with store owners, usually in the company of her husband of 66 years, Carl, now 100.
Views From Long Island (p. 28)
Based on the memoir by Amy-Jo Albany, LOW DOWN is a compassionate look at the complex
relationship between Amy-Jo (Elle Fanning) and her father Joe (John Hawkes), a man torn between
his musical ambition, his devotion to his teenage daughter, and his suffocating heroin addiction. Set
against a sensuously textured 1970s Hollywood, the film beautifully evokes a colorful, seedy world
of struggling musicians, artists, and vagabonds, in which Joe and Amy-Jo strive to live the lives they
want against seemingly insurmountable odds.

In a peaceful little clearing, the remains of a hastily abandoned picnic sparks warfare between two
tribes of ants. At stake: a box of sugar. A bold young ladybug finds himself caught in the middle of the
battle between the kindly black ants and the terrible red ants. Each insect is playfully animated with
“bug” eyes and spunky character, while the beautiful pastoral backgrounds are not virtual, but filmed
all natural in the south of France. The infinitely charming miniature epic plays out at ground level
through blades of grass, behind rocks and over creeks, and is the must-see battle for the ages!

countless careers, and brought productions such OH! CALCUTTA!, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE
SHOW, and MONTY PYTHON’S THE HOLY GRAIL to the world. With interviews from over 50 of his

DOCUMENTARY, New York Premiere, USA, 2013, 88 minutes, English/Hindi/Gujarati
After a just-can’t-commit breakup, Indian-American comedian Ravi Patel throws in the towel and
agrees to let his endearing parents create a “biodata” for him, officially putting him on the semiarranged marriage market. Camera in hand (aided by light whimsical animation), his sister Geeta
documents the whole endeavor, in hilariously candid fashion, turning Ravi’s international search for
a love connection into a uniquely family affair. The two generations of Patels are warm, open, and
pragmatic, and their particular brand of optimism makes them ideal tour guides through the cultural
conundrums of modern dating in our ever-changing society.
By day, meek Japanese office worker Kumiko (Rinko Kikuchi, BABEL) lives an extremely structured
life. In her own time, she obsessively watches a dubbed VHS of the Coen Brother’s film, FARGO, which
she believes to be a true story. Meticulously examining the film and creating detailed maps, she finds
the location of Steve Buscemi’s buried briefcase and sets off on an absurdist odyssey to Minnesota to
alter her destiny. Inspired by an urban legend, filmmaker brothers David and Nathan Zellner create a
beautiful, oddly touching character study anchored by a remarkable performance from Kikuchi.

The 19th century British painter J.M.W. Turner (Timothy Spall) was both revered and loathed in his time;
an irascible man with a grunt who turned his canvases into awe-inspiring representations of light and
shadow. In Turner, master filmmaker Mike Leigh (SECRETS & LIES, VERA DRAKE) creates a rich, tender,
and illuminating portrait of an artist with a supreme vision, one that could capture reality with peerless
precision yet clouded his social graces. As evoked by Spall’s Cannes award-winning performance and
through Dick Pope’s brilliant cinematography, MR. TURNER becomes a unique and essential biopic.

MY ITALIAN SECRET: THE FORGOTTEN HEROES
Would you risk your life to save a stranger? And then never talk about it? MY ITALIAN SECRET tells the
story of sports idol Gino Bartali and other courageous Italians who saved Jews and refugees fleeing the
Nazis in World War II. Bartali, the Tour de France cycling champion, made hundreds of trips transporting
fake documents in the frame of his bicycle for a secret underground group organized by the Cardinal and
the Rabbi of Florence. The living characters return to Italy to reveal the story and thank those who were
willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for a stranger’s life.
The beauty of the land cannot mask the brutality of a farm town. As harvest draws near, a determined
matriarch Betty (Joanne Kelly, TV’s HOSTAGES) confronts a few harsh realities: a failing business,
her husband’s deteriorating health, and a family home on the brink of foreclosure. When presented
with an illegal but well-compensated job offer (already turned down by her husband), Betty meets
the challenge head-on. First-time writer/director Kimberly Levin follows Betty’s perseverance with
astonishing narrative economy and bristling tension, anchored by Kelly’s indomitable central turn.

THE SALT OF THE EARTH
Documentary, East Coast Premiere, France, 2014, 109 minutes, French/
English/Portuguese
As Allied forces liberated Nazi concentration camps in the spring of 1945, combat cameramen
documented the atrocities they found in order to prove the veracity of the unthinkable horrors being
reported around the world. That summer, British producer Sidney Bernstein enlisted Alfred Hitchcock
to craft the footage into an ambitious documentary entitled, “German Concentration Camps Factual
Survey,” but the project lost political backing by autumn. Seventy years later, Britain’s Imperial War
Museums restored and completed the film. Director André Singer traces that film’s history, weaving
together unsparingly graphic archival footage and interviews with survivors and liberators.

RED AMNESIA “chuangru zhe”
Widely recognized as one of photography’s great artists, Sebastião Salgado has captured humanity
through major events, conflicts, starvation, and exodus for over 40 years. With an empathetic eye, his
black-and-white photographs give his subjects dignity and respect. Now, joined by his son Julian and
filmmaker Wim Wenders, Salgado embarks on an epic journey to capture the planet’s natural beauty.
As an intimate look at the man behind the photographs, THE SALT OF THE EARTH is gorgeous and
thought-provoking visual odyssey unlike any other.
STRAY DOG
Narrative, US Premiere, China, 2014, 115 minutes, mandarin
Documentary, USA, 2014, 98 minutes, English/Spanish
Master filmmaker Wang Xiaoshuai (BEIJING BICYCLE) thrusts us deep into contemporary China with
a powerful generational portrait of one family’s struggle to reconcile their past, present, and everchanging future. Deng, a retired widow, attempts to connect with her two grown sons despite their
lack of interest and dismissal of her more traditional family dynamics. Life slowly erodes around
her until mysterious, anonymous phone calls stir up the family’s history and foreshadow a breaking
point for all involved. Simultaneously subtle and edgy, RED AMNESIA is a scintillating thriller deftly
exploring the personal and political.
Returning to the Ozarks, Debra Granik (Academy Award® nominee WINTER’S BONE) turns her lens
on Ron “Stray Dog” Hall, a burly, aging veteran who manages an RV park and rides his motorcycle
cross-country. Shot over three years, STRAY DOG is a humanist portrait of an extraordinary man
forever changed by two tours of war. Through his relationships with his fellow vets and his loving wife
Alicia, Ron finds the courage to confront his past (from which he still has nightmares) and the courage
to keep going. Granik breaks down the stereotypes of a community united through remembering and
adapting to a changing America.

Narrative, East Coast Premiere, Canada, 2014, 93 minutes, French
In an exhilarating story played out on Olympic ice, RED ARMY chronicles the rise and fall of the Red
Army Hockey Team; the Soviet Union’s most powerful sports dynasty. Making his directorial debut,
Gabe Polsky revisits the history of the Cold War using an incredible collection of archival material
from both sides of the Iron Curtain. Featuring revealing commentary from the players themselves,
including one of Russia’s greatest players Slava Fetisov, RED ARMY skillfully balances the personal
and political drama behind one hockey’s greatest stories, revealing the thin line between national
hero and political enemy.

Set against the dog days of summer, TU DORS NICOLE follows the post-grad drifting of its titular
character whose boredom is interrupted by her punk-rocker brother’s sudden return home. Set in a
small Quebecois town, this small-scale charmer breezes along with its excellent perfomances, led by
up-and-comer Julianne Côté, and wondrous black-and-white cinematography. Indebted to the French
New Wave style, director Stéphane Lafleur imbues the film with a pitch-perfect sense of dry comedy
that renders TU DORS NICOLE a potent mixture of melancholy and possibility.

TWO RAGING GRANNIES “opprørske oldemødre”
10/11, 2:45 PM, Southampton 1
Narrative, Israel, 2014, 100 minutes, Hebrew
If the title TWO RAGING GRANNIES implies a couple of grandmothers gunning down bad guys or
cursing up a storm against life’s grievances, the truth is, in fact, something more profound and
revelatory. Shirley (90) and Hinda (84), on their mobility scooters, set out on a journey across the USA
to dispel our government’s economic myths by challenging everyone including professors, advisors,
and politicians. No one is safe from these two grannies’ rage as they press forward, determined to
answer that burning question in everyone’s mind: How do we get out of this economic mess?
It would be difficult for any filmmaker to tell the story of an Israeli-army-coming-of-age tale as a
workplace comedy, but that’s what Talya Lavie so brilliantly pulls off with her debut feature. Taking
place on an off-the-grid army base—where playing the game Minesweeper and paper shredding
are as about as close to combat as one can get—the story follows two young soldiers, Daffi and
Zohar, and their mundane experiences in the military. With its wonderful blend of dark humor and
emotional poignancy, its unique perspective on army life, and its ability to smartly comment on
larger issues, ZERO MOTIVATION is a refreshing, exciting debut.

WHIPLASH
A true sensation out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where it won both the Grand Jury Prize and
the Audience Award, WHIPLASH penetrates the explosive dynamic between a committed young jazz
percussionist (Miles Teller) and his ruthless music instructor (J.K. Simmons) at a cutthroat Manhattan
music conservatory. Where his first feature, GUY AND MADELINE ON A PARK BENCH, evoked the
loose, cool styles of street jazz, Damien Chazelle’s follow-up bursts with rhythm and blood, sonic
nuance and fiery passion. Featuring two of the year’s best performances in Teller and Simmons.

SPECIAL SCREENINGS
Special Screening: Keep On Keepin’ On
In his debut, director Alan Hicks spent four years following the charming and sometimes poignant
mentorship between jazz-legend Clark Terry and blind piano prodigy Justin Kaulflin, during a
pivotal moment in each of their lives. At 89 years old, ‘CT’ has played alongside Duke Ellington and
Count Basie; his pupils include Miles Davis and Quincy Jones. But his most unlikely friendship is
with Justin, a 23-year-old with uncanny talent but debilitating nerves. Beautifully nostalgic and
inspirational, with a reverence for the importance of finding your own sound, KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON
celebrates an iconic musician while introducing one of equal vibrancy.

Percentage of proceeds to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project
Documentary, New York Premiere, USA, 2014, 83 minutes, English
In the summer of 2004, Chris Carney completed a solo bicycle ride across America in support of
wounded soldiers. His accomplishment caught the attention of Heath Calhoun, a double leg amputee
and Ryan Kelly, a single leg amputee both injured serving in Iraq. Heath and Ryan began planning
their own coast-to-coast bike ride and convinced Chris to help. In May 2005 the three riders left
California for New York. On this unforgettable journey Chris, Ryan and Heath met veterans and nonveterans who joined the ride. No longer a journey of personal accomplishment, Soldier Ride begins
connecting veterans to the communities that they have sacrificed so much for.
In the near future, water becomes a scarce resource where once prosperous land withers into dust. The
survivors carve out the best existence they can. Tempers burn, houses fall, industry pushes forward
and the old must make way for the young. Jake Paltrow’s sophomore effort charges old Greek tragedy
tropes with a distinctive neo-Western style that reinvigorates the genre and grounds itself with a set of
remarkable performances. YOUNG ONES effectively transforms the futuristic American West back into
that brutal, classic frontier where anything was possible, and everything was dangerous.

10/10 VIDEO ON DEMAND: FRONTIER DISTRIBUTION
Theatrical was long the standard release strategy for independent cinema, but the age of new
media has ushered in a distinct, lucrative concept: Video On Demond (VOD). With VOD, audiences outside the major markets can now enjoy independent films from the comfort of their
own home, whenever they please. This panel examines whether the once stigmatic distribution strategy is shaking up the business for the better, considering some recent success
stories, as well as audience-dictated theatrical alternatives. Panelists include entertainment
reporter Bill McCuddy; Lisa Rosman and Neil Rosen of NY1; and Jay Hogan of Gathr.
10/11 WRITER/DIRECTOR OREN MOVERMAN
On the heels of his latest feature, Spotlight Film TIME OUT OF MIND (p. 16 for screening
details), we sit down with Academy Award®-nominated writer/director Oren Moverman to
discuss his career and inspirations. Moverman is best known as the filmmaker behind recent independent hits like THE MESSENGER (HIFF ’09) and RAMPART, and his collaborative
career as a screenwriter is deep and varied: Todd Haynes’ Bob Dylan biopic I’M NOT THERE,
and Alison Maclean’s JESUS’ SON, Ira Sachs’ MARRIED LIFE, John Pogue’s THE QUIET
ONES, and the upcoming LOVE AND MERCY, the Brian Wilson biopic directed by Bill Pohlad.
10/12 MEET THE COMPETITION: GOLDEN STARFISH AWARDS
Join some of the highly innovative and creative filmmakers vying for the Golden Starfish
Awards at this year’s Festival as they discuss the highs and lows of their filmmaking careers and what it’s like to get started in the business. The GSA’s, as the competition is fondly
called, recognizes the work of emerging directors from around the world in narrative feature,
documentary feature, and short film competition sections. Panelists include Sara Colangelo
(writer/director, LITTLE ACCIDENTS), Henning Kamm (producer, THE SPECIAL NEED), Jaap
Van Hoewijk (director, KILLING TIME), and Kazik Radwanski (director, CUTAWAY).
Moderated by Dan Schoenbrun, Film Partnerships Lead at Kickstarter.
