In a country where killers are celebrated as heroes, the filmmakers challenge unrepentant death

Despite his use of anti-depressants, Daniel suffers
from low self-esteem and finds himself less and
less capable of defending himself against society’s
abuse. As he sinks deep into himself, reality blends
seamlessly with the darkest realms of his imagination
in this slow-burning thriller from Mexico. A cavernous
film that turns Fight Club, Memento, and Taxi Driver
upside down and inside out. (Mexico, 2011, 74 min.)

Braat travels through India without a plan. There he
has a chance meeting with a group of HIV positive

Cottage is intertwined with the history of the Berkshire Mountains and the country as a whole. (USA,

Academy Award® winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams explores the role of the American Evangelical

the proposed death penalty for homosexuality.
Thanks to charismatic religious leaders and a well-financed campaign, draconian new laws are winning
over the Ugandan public. But the source is not Africa:
these dangerous policies, and the money to back
them, are being imported from some of America’s
largest mega-churches – at the “front lines in a battle
for billions of souls.” A 2013 Sundance Film Festival

When Father Fabijan arrives at his new post on a tiny
Dalmatian island, he discovers a dwindling community where funerals notably exceed christenings. Willing to take subversive action to enforce the church’s
stance on birth control, he conspires with the town
pharmacist to compromise the condom stock with

suddenly the island has become a world-renowned
fertility spa. Adapted from the wildly popular stage
play, this was a Karlovy Vary favorite. (Croatia, 2013,

West Side fills him with a phobic dread. His plan to

SUITCASE OF LOVE AND SHAME
Mariana, an undocumented Mexican mother, searches the outskirts of New York City for her autistic son
when he does not return from school. Meanwhile,
13-year-old Ricky embarks on an eleven-day odyssey in the city’s subway system, where he confronts
a bizarre and indifferent world. An eye-opening
view of life on the autism spectrum and a frank
exploration of the strains of the immigrant experience, with a breakout performance for young Jesus
Sachez-Velez. (USA, 2014, 102 min.)
This 1960’s Midwestern love story is reconstructed
from 60 hours of audiotape discovered in a suitcase
purchased on eBay. The recordings, equally tender,
erotic, and pathetic, chronicle the details of an adulterous affair. Part historical documentary and part experimental narrative, the film uses this unusual audio
artifact to examine a time in the United States when it
was rare to listen to the contradictory words of those
who secretly and exuberantly lived a lie while publicly
constraining their passion. (USA, 2013, 70 min.)

Before the term “teenager” was invented, there was
no transitional stage of life. You were either a child,
or you went to work as an adult. At the turn of the
century, as child labor was ending, “adolescence”
emerged, and an entirely new struggle erupted
between adults and youth. Would the young be
controlled and regimented, or could they be free?
Inspired by punk author Jon Savage’s book, Teenage gives voice to young people—from party-crazed
flappers to zealous Nazi youth—as the prelude to
today’s youth culture unfolds. (USA/Germany, 2014,

Screenwriting
Screenwriting isn’t something learned in grammar school. It feels more like a mysterious dark
art, but the truth is that screenwriting is within the grasp of all who are interested. If you have
ever told a story in your life, you already have the basic knowledge needed to write a movie.
Our acclaimed panel explores the difference between the literary and visual mediums with
guidance on how to find your unique voice and work within a creative team.

THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR
FRI, 3/28, 3:15-5:15PM | MD Hall Auditorium
SPECIAL RETROSPECTIVE SCREENING! After five dutiful years in a demeaning role at the
CIA, Dan Freeman (Lawrence Cook) turns militant. This film, produced in 1973 with a Herbie
Hancock score, was suppressed for almost 20 years because of its incendiary look at one
federal agency’s token efforts at racial integration. Directed by Ivan Dixon and also starring
J. A. Preston. See page 19 for full synopsIs.
IN PERSON: J.A. Preson. Preston is best known for his roles including A Few Good Men,
Body Heat, Air Force One, Martin, Hill Street Blues, Good Times, and others. One of his earliest
roles was in The Spook Who Sat By The Door.

New Directions in Distribution
Used to be filmmakers were at the mercy of large studios and film distributors—those who
formally marketed movies, set theatrical release dates for viewing, and typically reaped all
the rewards, as well as the rights. Not anymore! With an emerging internet-era approach to
releasing movies and self distribution, filmmakers can now control their work, their rights,
and their fan base.
African-American Storytelling On Screen
FRI, 3/28, 6:30-8:15PM | MD Hall Auditorium
Perhaps the oldest tradition in acting is that of the “black storyteller.” For centuries,
African-Americans have shared stories of hearth, home and community using the rich
heritage of the African oral tradition to share and preserve history. Today’s black actor,
writer and director continues to approach a role as that of “black storyteller” — a means
of giving a voice to explore the expressive power of the creative verbal arts and oral
traditions that shape American culture and communication.
This discussion will be led by the esteemed Ambassador Shabazz, the eldest daughter born
to Dr. Betty Shabazz and Malcolm X Shabazz. She is a sought after speaker, producer,
writer, and diplomat. Ambassador Shabazz’s hope is to motivate and inspire one to have
a better understanding of his or her history, the surrounding world, and one’s constructive
place in it, thus encouraging positive self-concept.
PANELISTS:
Charles S. Dutton, Actor & Director: stage, film, television (invited)

The next engagement ring we design for a couple in love may not be the biggest
diamond they’ll ever have. But there will never be a more important one.

comes with doing what we do. And with six designers on staff,
there’s nothing you can imagine that we can’t create.
