Rist | www.bottledupthedoc.com | Competition, Feature: Documentary, Screen Cuisine, Social Justice, World Premiere | For 120 years, Dublin Dr Pepper was manufactured in the small west Texas town of Dublin. The soda’s original pure cane sugar formula spawned a cult-like following in the Lone Star State and across the globe. All that stopped when Dr Pepper Snapple Group ﬁled a trademark lawsuit against the tiny soda bottling plant, causing an unceremonious end to a relationship that had endured for more than a century. Each year, more than 70,000 people from around the world had visited the Dublin bottling factory. Now, local residents

Invitation to Dance • 2014 | Directed by Christian von Tippelskirch and Simi Linton

World Premiere | In the eighties and nineties, as the American gay community was being ravaged by AIDS, families and friends of the dying fought a public battle to ﬁnd treatment and understanding. The AIDS Memorial Quilt was conceived “as a weapon against not only the disease but also the cruelty and bigotry that the disease exposed,” according to Cleve Jones, a founder of the NAMES Project: The AIDS Memorial Quilt. Today the Quilt is a handmade testament to both the struggle of the early days of the epidemic and its continued impact today, as panels representing lives lost to the disease continue to stream in from all over the world. THE LAST ONE is a feature-length documentary that frames the quest to sew the last panel into the Quilt, representing the end of AIDS. 10am, Sat, Feb 1 | SB Museum of Art 4pm, Sun, Feb 2 | SB Museum of Art
