Act of God is a feature documentary about the
metaphysical effects of being struck by lightning. The
event represents the paradox of being singled out by
randomness, and so precipitates questions about chance,
fate and meaning in life. The film explores seven stories
from around the world that raise and respond to these
questions, while keeping the sky and what comes out of it
as a central visual metaphor and thread. Paul Auster, who
was struck as a teenager, philosophically anchors the film,
along with Fred Frith, the improviser, who both
imaginatively underpins it and personally demonstrates the
ubiquity of electricity in our bodies and the universe.

If you had to choose your single happiest memory, what
would it be? In After Life the recently deceased are asked
this question. Aided by guides who help them sift through
their past, they are given three days to come up with an
answer. Once a decision is reached, the guides recreate
this happiest of memories and capture it on film, giving the
deceased a very personal heaven they will enter for
eternity. With exquisite beauty, After Life shows us that
while the memories people choose may seem simple, be it
a first kiss or a last cigarette, their meaning lies in the
sense they give of living in the moment and feeling truly
and fully alive. And while these memories may seem
simple, deciding upon them is no easy task. Using humor
and compassion the ’guides’ lead, urge and cajole their
’clients’ to discover meaning and value in their past, for
without a decision the dead will be stuck in limbo, forever
recreating and filming the happiness of others.

Based on a true story, "Amistad" is the saga of a failed

followed. In the summer of 1839, fifty-three African
captives, led by Cinque (Djimon Hounsou), broke free and
took over the slave ship Amistad. Captured off the eastern
seaboard after failing in a desperate attempt to sail home,
they find themselves strangers in a strange land and at the
mercy of the American justice system. Fighting for the
Africans are abolitionist Theodore Joadson (Morgan
Freeman) and young lawyer Roger Baldwin (Matthew
McConaughey). However, seeking re-election, President
Martin Van Buren (Nigel Hawthorne) is willing to sacrifice
the Africans to appease the pro-slavery South. The case
takes on historic proportions when former President John
Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins) comes out of retirement
to take the Africans’ cause all the way to the United States
Supreme Court in a trial that challenges the very
foundation of the American legal system.

MON1583
ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and
inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE,
SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of
some of the most influential advertising creatives of our
time – people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet
are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding
forth from advertising’s "creative revolution" of the 1960s,
these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly
rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often
associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois,
Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others
featured in ART & COPY were responsible for "Just Do It,"
"I Love NY," "Where’s the Beef?," "Got Milk," "Think
Different," and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars
to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of
millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with
their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are
erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are
brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art,
commerce, and human emotion.

of his beautiful cousin, Marie-Anne Houde. Marie-Anne is
not the devoted stepmother everyone takes her to be,
however. Following the death of Aurore, a coroner’s
inquest reveals that the young girl had died of blood
poisoning, brought on by the horrific abuse she suffered at
the hands of her stepmother. The sensational trial which
followed these revelations had a profound and lasting
impact on Québec society. Aurore depicts an almostforgotten period and social milieu of Québec’s history,

(Julie Christie) commitment to each other appears
unwavering, and their everyday life is full of tenderness
and humour. This serenity is broken only by the
occasional, carefully restrained reference to the past,
giving a sense that this marriage may not always have
been such a fairy tale. This tendency of Fiona’s to make
such references, along with her increasingly evident
memory loss, creates a tension that is usually brushed off
casually by both of them. As the lapses become more

become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes an
appointment and decides to go it alone. On the day of her
artificial insemination, Zoe meets Stan (Alex O’Loughlin) –
a man with real possibilities. Trying to nurture a budding
relationship while hiding the early signs of pregnancy
becomes a comedy of errors for Zoe and creates
confusing signals for Stan. When Zoe nervously reveals
the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan commits
fully and says he’s in. But the real pregnancy test comes
when both of them realize they really don’t know each
other outside of hormonal chaos and birth preparations.
With the nine month clock ticking, both begin to
experience cold feet. Anyone can fall in love, get married
and have a baby but doing it backwards in hyper-drive

beyond class and commerce, beyond pride and prejudice,
and dreams of doing what was then nearly unthinkable marrying for love. Naturally, her parents are searching for
a wealthy, well-appointed husband to assure their
daughter’s future social standing. They are eyeing Mr.
Wisley, nephew to the very formidable, not to mention very
rich, local aristocrat Lady Gresham, as a prospective
match. But when Jane meets the roguish and decidedly
non-aristocratic Tom Lefroy, sparks soon fly along with the
sharp repartee. His intellect and arrogance raise her ire then knock her head over heels. Now, the couple, whose
flirtation flies in the face of the sense and sensibility of the
age, is faced with a terrible dilemma. If they attempt to
marry, they will risk everything that matters - family, friends
and fortune.

(Leonardo DiCaprio) - a South African mercenary - and
Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) - a Mende fisherman.
Both men are African, but their histories as different as

their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns
that Solomon - who was taken from his family and forced
to work in the diamond fields - has found and hidden the
extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen
(Jennifer Connelly), an American journalist whose idealism
is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the
two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a
journey that could save Solomon’s family and give Archer
the second chance he thought he would never have.

The United States of America is notorious for its
astronomical number of people killed by firearms for a
developed nation without a civil war. With his signature
sense of angry humor, activist filmmaker Michael Moore
sets out to explore the roots of this bloodshed. In doing
so, he learns that the conventional answers of easy
availability of guns, violent national history, violent
entertainment and even poverty are inadequate to explain
this violence when other cultures share those same factors
without the equivalent carnage. In order to arrive at a
possible explanation, Michael Moore takes on a deeper
examination of America’s culture of fear, bigotry and
violence in a nation with widespread gun ownership.
Furthermore, he seeks to investigate and confront the
powerful elite political and corporate interests fanning this
culture for their own unscrupulous gain.

links Pinkie and his gang to a revenge killing, he draws her
into a conned romance to keep the loose end tied up.
When Rose’s world-weary boss (Oscar-winner Helen

hanging around her charge, the tangled web becomes a
deadly game of psychological cat-and-mouse– an
atmostpheric mystery-noir that fully captures the mood of

silent witness. The world we inhabit as adults begins on
the playground. The Bully Project opens on the first day of
school. For the more than 5 million kids who’ll be bullied

The only thing more outrageous than French novelist
George Sand’s torrid love affair with the decadent author
Alfred de Musset and her affinity for wearing men’s
clothing, was the content of her writing. Though Sand
(otherwise known as the Baroness Dudevant) smoked
cigars and cross-dressed, it was the boldness of her
writing on issues such as the abstinence of marriage and
women’s frigidity that most contributed to the scandalous
reputation she earned in French literary circles. When she
met Alfred de Musset, the most gifted poet of his
generation, the two quickly became a public cause
celebrity while their work would go on to become some of
the finest examples of 19th century romanticism.

Scrooge sees those events in his past life, both happy and
sad, that forged his character. The second spirit, the

Having grown up at St. Cloud’s orphange under the

Homer never wanted for affection. Now, as Homer
approaches manhood, he begins to question his future.
Homer yearns to explore the world for himself. Upon
meeting a privileged young couple, Homer hitches a ride
with them and liberates himself from St. Cloud’s.
Suddenly Homer’s choices are limitless. He is introduced
to a bigger world full of new sights, adventures and
friendships, as well as tragedy, betrayal and danger. The
rules that governed his former life seem obsolete. And
when Homer falls in love for the first time, his upbringing
offers no guidance. As affection turns to ardor, he
experiences the highs and lows, as well as the
complicated rewards and responsibilities that come with
these new emotions. Suddenly, the consequences of
making choices become more acute. As the course of his

The true story of Salomon Sorowitsch, counterfeiter
extraordinaire and bohemian. After getting arrested in a
German concentration camp in 1944, he agrees to help
the Nazis in an organized counterfeit operation set up to
help finance the war effort. It was the biggest counterfeit
money scam of all times. Over 130 million pound sterling
were printed, under conditions that couldn’t have been
more tragic or spectacular. During the last years of the
war, as the German Reich saw that the end was near, the
authorities decided to produce their own banknotes in the
currencies of their major war enemies. They hoped to use
the duds to flood the enemy economy and fill the empty
war coffers. At the Sachsenhausen concentration camp,
two barracks were separated from the rest of the camp
and the outside world, and transformed into a fully
equipped counterfeiters workshop. "Operation Bernhard"
was born. Prisoners were brought to Sachsenhausen from
other camps to implement the plan: professional printers,
fastidious bank officials and simple craftsmen all became
members of the top-secret counterfeiter commando. They
had the choice: if they cooperated with the enemy, they
had a chance to survive, as first-class prisoners in a
"golden cage" with enough to eat and a bed to sleep in. If
they sabotaged the operation, a sure death awaited them.
For THE COUNTERFEITERS, it was not only a question
of saving their own lives, but also about saving their
conscience as well...

A provocative, unflinching look at the complexities of racial
conflict in America, CRASH is that rare cinematic event - a
film that challenges audiences to question their own
prejudices. Diving headlong into the diverse melting pot of
post-9/11 Los Angeles, this compelling urban drama tracks
the volatile intersections of a multi-ethnic cast, examining
fear and bigotry from multiple perspectives as characters
careen in and out of one another’s lives. No one is safe in
the battle zones of racial strife. And no one is immune to
the simmering rage that sparks violence - and changes
lives...

learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated
on him and wants a divorce, his "perfect" life quickly
unravels. Worse, in today’s single world, Cal, who hasn’t

Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local

to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan

start living his life, Jacob opens Cal’s eyes to the many

sense of style that can’t be found at Supercuts or The

what might be all the wrong places: Cal’s 13-year-old son,
Robbie, is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica,
who harbors a crush on Cal. And despite Cal’s makeover
and his many new conquests, the one thing that can’t be

Crimson Gold is an intimate and absorbing drama about
the ways in which the hypocrisies and slights of daily life
can push otherwise reasonable people over the edge.
Based on true events and written by acclaimed director
Abbas Kiarostami, Crimson Gold is the story of Hussein, a
humble, troubled pizza deliveryman who feels continually
humiliated by the injustices he sees all around him. When
his friend Ali finds a receipt for a stranger’s necklace
purchase, Hussein is stunned by its exceptionally high
cost. He knows that his pitiful salary will never be enough
to afford such a luxury. Soon after, he and Ali are refused
entry to an uptown jewelry store because of their scruffy
appearances; his rage over this slight sets off a series of
events, which ultimately leads to a shocking act of
violence. Panahi uses Hussein’s job as a delivery driver to
move inside houses and behind closed doors to reveal
places rarely seen by western audiences.

The Devil Came on Horseback
MON1442
THE DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK exposes the tragedy
taking place in Darfur as seen through the eyes of an
American witness who has since returned to the US to
take action to stop it. Using the exclusive photographs and
first hand testimony of former U.S. Marine Captain Brian
Steidle, THE DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK takes the
viewer on an emotionally charged journey into the heart of
Darfur, Sudan, where an Arab run government is
systematically executing a plan to rid the province of its
black African citizens. As an official military observer,
Steidle had access to parts of the country that no
journalist could penetrate. Ultimately frustrated by the
inaction of the international community, Steidle resigned
and returned to the US to expose the images and stories
of lives systematically destroyed.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
F031070
To Greg Heffley, middle school is the dumbest idea ever
invented. It’s a place rigged with hundreds of social
landmines, not the least of which are morons, wedgies,
swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment to the cafeteria floor
- and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties. To
survive the never-ending ordeal and attain the recognition
and status he feels he so richly deserves, Greg devises an
endless series of can’t-miss schemes, all of which, of
course, go awry. And he’s getting it all down on paper, via
a diary - "it’s NOT a diary, it’s a journal!" Greg insists,
preferring the less-sissyfied designation - filled with his
opinions, thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations,
and (would-be) schoolyard triumphs. "One day when I’m
famous," writes Greg, "I’ll have better things to do than
answer peoples’ stupid questions all day." So was born the
Wimpy Kid’s diary.

with her doctor father and all expect her to go on to
college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before
marrying a doctor, just like her father. Unexpectedly, Baby
becomes infatuated with the camp’s dance instructor,
Johnny, a man whose background is vastly different to her
own. Attempting to impress him, Baby borrows money
from her father to pay for an illegal abortion for Johnny’s
dance partner. She then fills in as Johnny’s dance partner
and it is during the rigorous training that they fall in love. It
all comes apart when Johnny’s friend falls seriously ill after
her abortion and Baby is forced to seek her father’s
medical assistance. Her father then learns what Baby has
been up to, who with and worse - that he funded the illegal
abortion. He bans his daughter from any further
association with "those people". In the first deliberately
willful action of her life, Baby later sneaks out to see
Johnny - ostensibly to apologize for her father’s rudeness and ends up consummating her relationship with Johnny.
A jealous fellow vacationer sees Baby sneaking out of
Johnny’s bungalow the next morning and in an act of
retribution, tells management that he is responsible for a
theft that last evening, knowing he would not furnish his
real whereabouts. Attempting to defend her lover, Baby
confesses that they were together that night - all night.
This revelation causes a huge rift in the family and Baby
makes an impassioned speech to her angry and bereft
father. At the closing night performances, and although he
has been fired and banned from attending - Johnny
returns and takes the stage to tell everyone about the
woman who stole his heart and changed his life before

It’s 1964, St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A charismatic priest,
Father Flynn, is trying to upend the schools’ strict customs,
which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius
Beauvier, the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the
power of fear and discipline. The winds of political change
are sweeping through the community, and indeed, the
school has just accepted its first black student, Donald
Miller. But when Sister James, a hopeful innocent, shares
with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father
Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald,
Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth
the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now,
without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister
Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which
threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable
consequence.

Can you imagine a world without fish? Scientists predict
that if we continue fishing as we are now, we will see the
end of most seafood by 2048. In The End of the Line, we
see firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish
as food. The film examines the imminent extinction of blue

a future world with no fish....

Enron dives from the seventh largest US company to

chronologically. The emphasis is on human drama, from
suicide to 20,000 people sacked: the personalities of Ken
Lay (with Falwellesque rectitude), Jeff Skilling (he of big
ideas), Lou Pai (gone with $250 M), and Andy Fastow (the
dark prince) dominate. Along the way, we watch Enron
game California’s deregulated electricity market, get a free
pass from Arthur Andersen (which okays the dubious
mark-to-market accounting), use greed to manipulate
banks and brokerages (Merrill Lynch fires the analyst who
questions Enron’s rise), and hear from both Presidents
Bush what great guys these are.

are hired to play prisoners and guards. The ’prisoners’ are
locked up and have to follow seemingly mild rules, and the
’guards’ are told simply to retain order without using
physical violence. Everybody is free to quit at any time,
thereby forfeiting payment. In the beginning the mood

A lonely middle-aged catering manager (Bob Hoskins)
spends all of his time studying tapes of an eccentric TV
chef (Arsinee Khanjian). Meanwhile, a young woman
(Elaine Cassidy) is making her way from Ireland to find her
boy friend (Peter McDonald), who moved to England to get
a job in a lawn-mower factory. On arrival, she makes an
early contact with the caterer, who recommends a
boarding room to her. Slowly, it is revealed that the caterer
has in fact befriended and subsequently abused more than
a dozen young women. He, of course, now sets his site
on this woman. Much of the story is told in flashbacks,
revealing how each of the characters grew to the point
where they now find themselves. However, the drama of
the character interaction is more important to director,
Atom Egoyan, than the potential horror of the situation.

Acclaimed horror director David Cronenberg brings his
unique style to this startling remake of the 1958 Vincent
Price shocker. A Brooks film Presentation starring Jeff
Goldblum, The Fly is the horrifying story of an unfortunate
scientist whose molecules are scrambled with those of a
common housefly during an experiment in matter
transmission. Goldblum is transformed, step by hideous
step, into a gigantic fly – incredibly agile, super strong, and
driven to murder by appetites he cannot control. A
frightening tale of technology gone awry, The Fly is
destined to become a horror classic.

The Fog of War
MON1107
The Fog of War is a 20th century fable, a story of an
American dreamer who rose from humble origins to the
heights of political power. Robert S. McNamara was both
witness to and participant in many of the crucial events of
the 20th century: the crippling Depression of the 1930s;
the industrialization of the war years; the development of a
different kind of warfare based on air power and the
creation of a new American meritocracy. He was also an
idealist who saw his dreams and ideals challenged by the
role he played in history. Although strictly speaking,
neither a work of biography nor a work of history, The Fog
of War has produced important, new biographical and
historical material. - Errol Morris

Food, Inc.
AL111097
You are what you eat. It is a simple expression that bears
scary implications as you watch the acclaimed
documentary, FOOD, INC. Director Robert Kenner draws
upon the searing reportage of authors Eric Schlosser (Fast
Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s
Dilemma) to explore how modern developments in food
production pose grave risks to our health and environment.
These writers aren’t radicals or even vegetarians
(Schlosser admits that his favourite meal is a hamburger
and fries), but they are crusaders when it comes to
exposing problems and naming offenders. There are
stories of heartbreak and outrage, but the film carefully
channels these emotions towards opportunities for
activism. Watching FOOD, INC. gives you a strong
appetite for better meals.

FOOTNOTE is the tale of a great rivalry between a father
and son. Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik are both eccentric
professors, who have dedicated their lives to their work in
Talmudic Studies. The father, Eliezer, is a stubborn purist
who fears the establishment and has never been
recognized for his work. While his son, Uriel, is an up-andcoming star in the field, who appears to feed on
accolades, endlessly seeking recognition. FOOTNOTE is
the story of insane academic competition, the dichotomy
between admiration and envy for a role model, and the

audience. After viewing the film, many wanted to know
more about the state of widows in India today. The
Forgotten Woman was made in direct response to this
interest and aims to bring about an understanding of the
destitution and marginalization of many of the millions of
widows in India today, who are forced by age-old traditions
to live out their remaining years isolated from and shunned

What if death live on TV became entertainment? Back in
the 60s, a scientific experiment demonstrated that a large
majority of people were ready to administer unbearable
electric shocks to another man, when encouraged to do so
by an authority. this experiment is re-enacted in the form
of a tv game show, where 80 participants are asked to
follow its despicable rules: despite the candidate s strong
yelling complaints, will they obey the TV host s orders and
inflict him massive electric shocks? Or will they stop
before it s too late?

Philip Green is a highly respected writer who is recruited
by a national magazine to write a series of articles on antiSemitism in America. He’s not too keen on the series,
mostly because he’s not sure how to tackle the subject.
Then it dawns on him: if he was to pretend to all and
sundry that he was Jewish, he could then experience the
degree of racism and prejudice that exists and write his
story from that perspective. It takes little time for him to
experience bigotry. He soon learns the liberal-minded firm
he works for doesn’t hire Jews and that his own secretary
changed her name and kept the fact that she is Jewish a
secret from everyone. Green soon finds that he won’t be
invited to certain parties, that he cannot stay in so-called
’restricted’ hotels and that his own son is called names in
the street. His anger at the way he is treated also affects

CEO of Denmark Corporation appears to Hamlet, tells of
murder most foul, demands revenge, and identifies the
killer as Claudius, the new head of Denmark, Hamlet’s
uncle and now step-father. Hamlet must determine if the
ghost is truly his father, and if Claudius did the deed. To
buy time, Hamlet feigns madness; to catch his uncle’s
conscience, he invites him to watch a film he’s made that
shows a tale of murder. Finally convinced of Claudius’s
guilt, Hamlet must avenge his father. Claudius now knows
Hamlet is a threat and even uses Ophelia, Hamlet’s love,
in his own plots against the young man. Murder will out?

When Hamlet returns to his elaborate palace at Elsinore
after his studies, he finds his uncle Claudius married to his
mother Gertrude. Bernardo, Horatio, and Marcellus show
him a ghost who looks like his father, so Hamlet pursues
him into the woods, where he is told to avenge his father’s
murder by his own uncle. Hamlet debates with himself,
and even visualizes himself skewering Claudius from a
confession box, but wants not to send him to heaven.
When the king and queen bring Hamlet’s school friends to
see what is wrong with him as he puts on an air of
madness, he assembles a play similar to his father’s
murder, which has him chased throughout the palace, and
sent to Norway and to England. When Hamlet kills his
girlfriend Ophelia’s father, Polonius, counsel to the king,
her brother Laertes sets out to avenge his death.
Meanwhile, the Prince Fortinbras of Denmark, whose
father was killed by old Hamlet, sets out to take the area
lost in battle with him, often shown in flashbacks, as are
many scattered memories throughout the film.

In a not-too-distant future, North America has collapsed,
weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced
by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 13
districts. Each year, two young representatives from each
district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger
Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the
subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted
throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to
eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens
required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss’ young sister,
Prim, is selected as the mining district’s female
representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She
and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town
baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of
bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger
representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.

in the Special Forces training soldiers to become skilled
murderers. But when he realizes that these recent
slayings are the work of a man he trained, he feels
obligated to stop him. Accepting the assignment under the
condition that he works alone, L.T. enters the woods,
unarmed–plagued by memories of his best student and
riddled with gulit for not responding to Aaron’s tortured
letters to him as he began to slip over the edge of sanity.
Furious as he is with his former mentor for ignoring his

politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their
own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style,
and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats,
gripped by his haunting message," said Guggenheim. An

rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now

INSIDE HANA’S SUITCASE is the poignant story of two
young children who grew up in Czechoslovakia on the eve
of World War II and the terrible events that they endured
just because they happened to be born Jewish. Based on
the internationally acclaimed book "Hana’s Suitcase" which
has been translated into 40 languages, the film is an
effective blend of documentary and dramatic techniques.
In addition to tracing the lives of George and Hana Brady
in the 1930’s and 40’s, Inside Hana’s Suitcase tells the
present-day story of "The Small Wings", a group of
Japanese school children, and how their passionate and
tenacious teacher, Fumiko Ishioka, helped them solve the
mystery of Hana Brady, whose name was painted on an
old battered suitcase recovered from Auschwitz, the
notorious Nazi death camp built in Poland. The story
unfolds as told through contemporary young storytellers
who act as the omniscient narrators. They seamlessly
transport us through 70 years of history and back and
forth across three continents, to relate the story of
unspeakable sadness and also of shining hope. For this is
a Holocaust story unlike others: it provides a
contemporary global perspective and lessons to be
learned for a better future. Directed by award-winning
filmmaker, Larry Weinstein, Inside Hana’s Suitcase is a
powerful journey full of mystery and memories, brought to
life through the first-hand perspectives of Fumiko, of
Hana’s brother George, and of Hana herself.

Into Great Silence is the first film ever made chronicling life
inside the Grande Chartreuse, nestled deep in the
stunning French Alps. Founded in 1084, it is considered
one of the world’s most ascetic monasteries and home to
the Catholic Church’s strictest order. Here the monks
dedicate themselves entirely to the service of God and to
spiritual life, in permanent silence. One of the most
mesmerizing and poetic chronicles of spirituality ever
created, this film is a rare, transformative experience for
all.

Introducing the Dwights

"Introducing the Dwights" is a heartfelt comedy about a
mother who tries to come between her son and his coming
of age. Tim’s mom, Jean, is a bawdy and risqué
comedienne still hoping to make it big. His brother Mark
helps their mother rehearse for shows. Together, they
inhabit a non-traditional household where chaos is the
norm, the music is always on, and Jean’s larger-than-life
personality takes center stage. When Tim meets and falls
for Jill, his home becomes a combat zone as his mother
fears this new girl, whose name she refuses to remember,
will "break up" the unique family unit she’s tried so hard to
keep together. In this quirky and oftentimes touching tale,

The Invention of Lying
W200988
"The Invention of Lying" takes place in an alternate reality
in which lying-even the concept of a lie-does not exist.
Everyone-from politicians to advertisers to the man and
woman on the street-speaks the truth and nothing but the
truth with no thought of the consequences. But when a
down-on-his-luck loser named Mark (Gervais) suddenly
develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its
rewards. In a world where every word is assumed to be
the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to fame and
fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark
begins to realize that things are getting a little out of
control when some of his tallest tales are being taken as,
well, gospel. With the entire world now hanging on his
every word, there is only one thing Mark has not been
able to lie his way into: the heart of the woman he loves.

Americans look at their government and at each other.
Even now, decades later, questions still haunt those old

Joseph King of Dreams
308008
2000 74 min color F United States of America SKG
Based on the well-known story which, in terms of religion,
is known to be taken from the book of Genesis, ’King of
Dreams’ centers on the life of Joseph, a "miracle child"
with the gift of interpreting dreams. Because he was born
to a barren woman, his parents dubbed him such and he
quickly became the favorite of his father, Jacob, much to
the envy of his ten older brothers. After Jacob gives
Joseph a beautiful coat; and after Joseph shares his
dreams of the brothers bowing down to him, they decide
that they’ve had enough of it. So one unseeingly
unsuspecting day, they gang up on Joseph and sell him to
slave traders, who, in turn, take him to faraway Egypt.
There, he is sold to Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh’s
army. Even as a slave, Joseph continues to stand out
because of his hard work and Potiphar eventually comes
to notice this. As a result, he puts Joseph in charge of his
entire household. It is also here where Joseph meets
Asenath, his first love interest. Potiphar’s wife also notices
Joseph, but in a romantic manner. One night, after
attempting to "approach" him, he refuses her company and
he is falsely accused of harming her. Because of this, he
is thrown into prison by Potiphar. There, he meets the
Pharaoh’s baker and butler, whose dreams he interprets.
After they are released, Joseph is left there for a few more
years until one day when Potiphar released him because
Pharaoh needs him to interpret a dream that has been
torturing him lately - as he heard from his butler. Joseph
interprets Pharaoh’s dreams which resemble a famine of
Egypt, and because of this Pharaoh puts Joseph in charge
of the whole country and makes him the second most
powerful man in the land. From here, Joseph meets
Asenath again and they marry; and afterwards, he
prepares the country for the famine. It is during this time
when he is reunited with his brothers who come to Egypt
for food. After scheming up a way to reveal himself to
them, as well as meeting his new brother Benjamin,
Joseph finally confesses himself after placing his cup in
Benjamin’s sack after a banquet; and there a
heartwarming exchange of apologies and forgiveness
occurs. Afterwards, Joseph invites his whole family to live
in Egypt and is reunited with his father once more. From
there, the next big thing, ’The Prince of Egypt,’ begins.

from his idyllic hometown of Omemee, Ontario to
downtown Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall where he
intimately performed the last two nights of his solo world
tour. Along the drive, Young recounted insightful and
introspective stories from his youth to filmmaker Jonathan
Demme. Demme, a long-time fan and collaborator,
captured these tales of Young’s childhood and masterfully
weaved them together with his mesmerizing music
including songs from the 2010 album Le Noise and
powerful renditions of classics including "Ohio", Hey Hey,
My My", "I Believe in You" and previously unreleased
songs "Leia" and "You Never Call." Through the tunes and
the tales, Demme portrays a personal, retrospective look
into the heart and soul of the artist.

Changing the locks does nothing to deter Elizabeth, who

Convinced that she is a ghost, David tries to help
Elizabeth cross over to the "other side." But while

Academy Award(r)-winning Bill Condon (GODS &

human sexuality research, Alfred Kinsey (Liam Neeson).
Spanning six decades from his childhood in the early
1900s to his death in 1956, the film turns the microscope
on the man whose landmark studies on the sexual
behaviors of the common man rocked a nation. The
interviewer of tens of thousands, Kinsey subjected his own
life and that of his researchers to the same type of
analysis that produced his 1948 best-selling book "Sexual
Behavior in the Human Male." But while the Kinsey team’s
focus was predominantly outward, perhaps what they
learned about themselves was as great as that which they
taught their country.

This expression is also used to describe a state of sexual

East Berlin, November 1984. Five years before its
downfall, the former East-German government ensured its
claim to power with a ruthless system of control and
surveillance. Party-loyalist Captain Gerd Wiesler hopes to
boost his career when given the job of collecting evidence
against the playwright Georg Dreyman and his girlfriend,
the celebrated theater actress Christa-Maria Sieland. After
all, the "operation" is backed by the highest political
circles. What he didn’t anticipate, however, was that
submerging oneself into the world of the target also
changes the surveillance agent. The immersion in The
Lives of Others - in love, literature, free thinking and
speech - makes Wiesler acutely aware of the meagerness
of his own existence and opens to him a completely new
way of life which he has ever more trouble resisting. But
the system, once started, cannot be stopped. A
dangerous game has begun...

An animal rights group stages a daring infiltration into the
New York Central Park Zoo, freeing four best friends (a
giraffe, a hippopotamus, a lion, and a zebra) from
captivation. When the ship capsizes, however, they end up
in Madagascar, where they are free to live in the wild...
but these New Yorkers, raised in captivity, have absolutely
no clue about how to fend for themselves without human
care (and even if they did, they’re not native to
Madagascar anyway). Hilarity and high jinks ensue.

unwilling to let himself get close to anyone for a very long
time - then Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) walks into his
gym. In a life of constant struggle, Maggie’s gotten herself
this far on raw talent, unshakable focus and a tremendous
force of will. But more than anything, she wants someone
to believe in her. The last thing Frankie needs is that kind
of responsibility - let alone that kind of risk - but won over
by Maggie’s sheer determination, he begrudgingly agrees
to take her on. In turns exasperating and inspiring each
other, the two come to discover that they share a common
spirit that transcends the pain and loss of their pasts, and
they find in each other a sense of family they lost long
ago. Yet, they both face a battle that will demand more
heart and courage than any they’ve ever known.

During the early 1960’s, Paris was an explosion of life. As
the old gave way to the new, everything was in flux and
the city was filled with an energy that promised cultural
shifts and social change. Against this background, in a
working class neighborhood, two unlikely characters - a
young Jew and an elderly Muslim - begin a friendship.
When we meet Moise, also known as Momo (Pierre
Boulanger), he is in effect an orphan even though he lives
with his father, a man slowly retreating into a crippling
depression. His only friends are the street prostitutes who
treat him with genuine affection. Momo buys his groceries
at the neighborhood shop, a crowded dark space owned
and run by Ibrahim (Omar Sharif), a silent exotic looking
man who sees and knows more than he lets on. After
Momo is abandoned by his father, Ibrahim becomes the
one grownup in Momo’s life. Together they begin a journey
that will change their lives forever.

The Namesake
F030703
THE NAMESAKE is the story of the Ganguli family whose
move from Calcutta to New York evokes a lifelong
balancing act to meld to a new world without forgetting the
old. Though parents Ashoke and Ashima (Irfan Khan,
Tabu) long for the family and culture that enveloped them
in India, they take great pride in the opportunities their
sacrifices have afforded their children. Paradoxically, their
son Gogol (Kal Penn) is torn between finding his own
unique identity without losing his heritage. Even Gogol’s
name represents the family’s journey into the unknown.
