Then get yourself to the theatre about 15 minutes before showtime, and voila! You are FLIFFing!

PLASTIC

Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

DRESS

Opening Night Party (Nov 6) is Hollywood Festive (meaning, don’t dress like a bum, but be comfortable). The Chairman’s Brunch & Cruise is tres casual, if its warm, dress cool...white is always nice. The M*A*S*H Party (Nov 11) is a time to breakout your old Korean War duds. Improvise & party like its 1952. The Chairman’s Awards Gala (Nov 21) at Diplomat is also a time to look like you can afford the $250 ticket price. Elsewhere, dress up, dress down… whatever you like to do, just be comfortable and you’ll feel fine.

PARKING

Cinema Paradiso-Lauderdale: Free everyday in the Courthouse Parking Garage (Mon – Fri beginning at 5:30pm; Sat & Sunday all day). Enter the garage via SE 5th Avenue (immediately west of Cinema Paradiso)...You can also park for free at any street meter surrounding Cinema Paradiso all day on Sundays. Please know, the Meter Maids are ravenous. We suggest the garage which, to them, is like sunlight to a vampire.

Cinema Paradiso-Hollywood: Park free for 3 hours on the street during the day. If you park at or after 5pm, parking on the street is free. Great for taking advantage of all the bistros. Also two large public garages within 5 mins walk at just $1/hour.

Sunrise Civic Center: Park for free in acres of street level parking lots immediately surrounding Civic Ctr.

DIRECTIONS

Cinema Paradiso-Lauderdale from the North…take US 1 south through the tunnel. Turn right at SE 7th Street (1st light after tunnel). Turn right on SE 5th Avenue (second right you come to). Go to stop sign. Cinema Paradiso is across the street on your right. The Courthouse Parking Garage is across the street on your left.

Cinema Paradiso-Lauderdale from the South…take US 1 north. Turn left at SE 7th Street (last light before tunnel). Turn right on SE 5th Avenue (second right you come to). Go to stop sign. Cinema Paradiso is across the street on your right. The Courthouse Parking Garage is across the street on your left.

Cinema Paradiso-Hollywood 2008 Hollywood Blvd, which is 2 ½ blocks west of Young Circle. From Ft Lauderdale on the east side, take US 1 south, turn right on to Hollywood Blvd and park wherever you want. CP-H is on the south side of Hwd Blvd, directly across the street from SunTrust. Sunrise Civic Center is located on the south side of Oakland Park Blvd between Nob Hill Road & Hiatus.

RULES

Not a lot of them…pretty simple: 1) Turn off your cellphones during the film. 2) Don’t even text in the theatre during the film…its annoying. 3) Can’t abide by those two…please just stay home and watch television. 4) Also no videotaping during film (everyone knows that). 5) Be courteous to other members of the audience…and sure, while we’re at it, what the hay, the staff too!

★ FESTIVAL DEDICATION ★

PETER LANGONE

The 30th Annual Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival is dedicated to our friend, collaborator, sponsor and past Board member, Peter Langone. Back in the mid 90’s, Phil Goldfarb, then of Doubletree and Vice Chair of FLIFF, nominated Peter for the Board. Peter, in his signature untucked t-shirt, blue jeans, bedraggled hair and swarthy Italian complexion seemed at first incongruous choice with his unedited speech, dropping F-bombs at meetings followed by his hearty laugh and infectious smile. In spite of his style, or perhaps because of it, he quickly won over all...and that was before he began contributing to FLIFF his captivating art. His first poster was created from a photo shoot on Fort Lauderdale Beach in 1998 featuring a golden sun splashing the surf, sand, a director’s chair and two models (Bonnie Leigh Adams and Patricia Como) soaking it all in. Over the years Peter went on to shoot nine posters and commercials. Peter also wowed our celebrities doing private sittings with Jane Lynch, Matt Damon, George Hamilton, Dennis Haysbert, Jeremy Renner, Paul Sorvino, and many more. Gallery owner and close friend of Peter’s, Larry Clemons is framing all of the celebrity shots and we will create a permanent Langone Gallery in Cinema Paradiso – Lauderdale.

WITH GARY SINISE

Peter joined us in Cannes on two of our trips in the 90’s. What a hoot! One evening, walking along the Rue d’Antibes, which is sort of the Las Olas of Cannes, for some reason I pointed out a suntan lotion poster of a girl on the beach of St Tropez lit up in a Pharmacie window. Peter remarked, Jesus, I took that shot nearly fifteen years ago, can’t believe they are still using it. Lots of stories here regarding gendarmes, castles, movie stars and mussels. Peter loved the food, wine, women, architecture, ambiance of Cannes...which is a long way of saying, Peter loved life...everywhere. In 2001, Bonnie and I married in Key West. Peter came but we hired a local photographer for the small event, so Peter could just have fun. He brought his little Nikon Cool Pix just for snapshots. The local photographer turned out to be a disaster...and Peter with his toy camera saved the day (there is more story here that I will tell after a glass of wine...or two). Artistically, no one during my 27 FLIFF years has contributed as much to the Film Festival. Peter was one of a kind...was he a saint, no, he wasn’t. He was fun, loving, lovable, talented and totally unique. We can’t replace him, but we’ll never forget him. Gregory von Hausch

FLIFF will hold a Celebration of Peter's Life on Tuesday, November 10, 5:30pm at Cinema Paradiso - Lauderdale. all of Peter's close friends are invited.

Born and raised in NYC and a Florida resident beginning at age 19, Mr. Langone established himself as a world class photographer with assignments taking him around the world multiple times. His personality was bigger than life. He loved people and every aspect of life, and a photograph of him cannot be found without a smile on his face. His clients included Mercedes-Benz, CocaCola, Anheuser Busch, AT&T, Fox Sports, Nestle and many more. His creative interpretation and ability to evoke the true personality of the celebrities he photographed have resulted in sessions with Donald Trump, Marc Anthony, Matt Damon, Jeremy Renner, Paul Sorvino, Dennis Haysbert, Venus Williams, Tiger Woods, Emeril Lagasse, President Ford, Senator Graham, and the original Miami Vice stars Don Johnson, Phillip Michael Thomas and James Olmos, just to name a few. His directorial work included film shorts and commercials for Budweiser, Burlington Coat, Brazilian Court, Esplanade Mall, The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and more.

Welcome to the 30th Annual FLIFF!

Thirty years went by so quick but seemed to take forever... The films are the comets. In February, they are out in the cosmos, burning a journey of light years with FLIFF ahead in their path. They arrive, delight and speed on in their futures, some to become stars (ROGER & ME, THE PIANO, SHINE, ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, VOLVER, SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK...), others to extinguish all their fuel and drift anonymously in the recesses of our memories. The celebrities too, take months of negotiations to pin down and secure and we have been blessed with a constellation of bright lights (Richard Attenborough, John Frankenheimer, Martin Scorsese, Claire Bloom, John Waters, Kevin Spacey, Michael Moore...see above). Sponsors are the suns and moons that control our tides. We take care to nurture and keep our telescopes on their orbits so the tides will ebb and flow on schedule. It often feels as if our long ellipse following the midnight of one fest to the dawn of another, takes us off far from the warmth of our season. Without the on-going novas of our annual sponsors we would have been sucked into a black hole, well, three decades ago. Giving daily appearances, the lightning bugs, our members. Making an annual pledge of cash to keep our doors open, attending weekly, loving, laughing, critiquing, suggesting and at all times pulling for us to shine on. Some have been here as long as my 27 fests. Though it might seem like nature is at play here and FLIFF would just happen as the Autumn Moon begins to glow. Not so grasshopper. Pull back the wizard’s curtain and behold the many munchkins toiling night and day to keep our doors open 365 sunrise/sunsets a year. Michelle, Irwin, Janet, John, Jeanne, Erin, Ray, Lennie, Rudrick, Steven, Jan & Ken + our great volunteers). Underpaid, overworked and at times, perhaps, taken for granted. All begging the question, Have You Hugged Your FLIFFer Today? Bonnie and I wanted to create a Festival worthy of being our 30th

But remember, its the filmmakers that you never heard of and meet that makes FLIFF special. FUN: In honor of this momentous year, we are bringing back elements of a program we created for the Knight Foundation, titled Around The World In 80 Nights, celebrating a different country nearly every night with food, fashion and film. We have also added parties at Hard Rock (Opening Night), Villa DePalma (M*A*S*H Party), Sunrise (Centerpiece Weekend), Diplomat Resort & Spa (Gala) and The Ritz Carlton (Wrap Party). So whether you are content to drag out a comfy pair of blue jeans or want to punch your “E” Ticket with your tux, you are in for a thrilling launch, fantastic orbit and rewarding splashdown as we present your annual & 30th Vacation From Ordinary Film. Gregory von Hausch, President & CEO

★ LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD ★

CHRISTOPHER LLOYD

When one thinks of the talented Christopher Lloyd, some of the characters which might come to mind include Dr. Emmett Brown from Back to the Future, Fester Addams from The Addams Family and Reverend Jim Ignatowski from Taxi. He has appeared in over 200 film and television productions and brings his own creativity and individuality to each of the unique roles he portrays. Mr. Lloyd graduated from high school in Connecticut and studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. Early in his career he performed with the Yale Repertory Theatre, and his Broadway credits include Red, White and Maddox and Happy End, an original musical with music by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Bertolt Brecht and co-starring Meryl Streep. He also starred in the highly acclaimed 2002 Broadway revival of the comedy Morning’s at Seven in which he worked with former FLIFF honoree Piper Laurie and fellow 2015 FLIFF honoree Estelle Parsons. Reviewing the play for The New York Times, Ben Brantley wrote, “The words are given their full philosophical due by Christopher Lloyd, looking like a German Expressionist answer to Grant Wood's 'American Gothic.'” He made his film debut in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the winner of the Oscar for Best Picture along with four other major Academy Awards. It has been reported his research for his character included spending time in a mental institution observing the patients, just one example of the diligence with which he approaches every character he portrays. Following Cuckoo’s Nest, Mr. Lloyd did a variety of film and television work, and some of his early credits include The Adams Chronicles, Goin’ South, Butch and Sundance: The Early Days, the remake of The Postman Always Rings Twice, and such TV staples as Barney Miller and One Day at a Time. In 1978 Mr. Lloyd appeared on the hit television series, Taxi,

as Reverend Jim Ignatowski, affectionately known as Iggy, and joined the popular ensemble cast eventually appearing in 84 episodes. His portrayal of this Woodstock-attending “man of the cloth” who, despite inheriting millions, lives in a condemned building won Mr. Lloyd two primetime Emmy Awards. Additionally, he won a third primetime Emmy for his work on Road to Avonlea. In 1985 he was cast as Doctor Emmett Brown in Back to the Future and portrayed “Doc Brown” in the film’s subsequent sequels, in video games and in the 1991-92 television series based on the movie. In its review of the first film, The Hollywood Reporter praised the younger talent, including Michael J. Fox, before surmising, “But it's Christopher Lloyd who walks away with the movie in a gloriously uncontrolled, fright-wigged performance that redefines the mad scientist for modern movie audiences. In the intervening years, Mr. Lloyd has alternated among the stage, television and film, seldom taking a break from acting. On television, he has appeared in a number of television films and has had recurring roles on a number of hit series. His film work includes major studio productions as well as smaller, independent films, and a sampling of his movie credits include Clue, Eight Men Out, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Addams Family and its sequel, Dennis the Menace, Angels in the Outfield, Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead, My Favorite Martian, Piranha 3D and The Chateau Meroux. Mr. Lloyd’s character in Taxi was an avid Star Trek fan, so it was only fitting Mr. Lloyd played Commander Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Currently, he has three films and a television series in post-production and is bringing his newest feature film, The Boat Builder, to FLIFF in which he plays a somewhat bitter mariner who strikes up a bond with an unwanted orphan while building a boat.

Christopher Lloyd will receive the FLIFF 2015 Lifetime achievement award on Friday, November 6. Mr. Lloyd will attend the screening of his film, THe BoaT BuILdeR, on 8pm Friday, November 6 at Cinema Paradiso – Lauderdale.

Embittered old mariner Abner (Christopher Lloyd) is a widower living a solitary life. Withdrawn from his family and the tight-knit community of his small marine town, he is a grumpy and unsociable man who seems to live in the past, only finding comfort in the countless hours spent building a sailboat in his yard. When neglected young orphan Rick (Tekola Cornetet) wanders onto Abner’s property, hiding from the local bullies, the two find common ground and form an unlikely bond which will change their lives in unexpected ways.

Raise your hands, who has heard of filmmaker Michael Moore? Ok, put them down. Who has an opinion of Mr. Moore?

Odds are, in a crowded room, you’d be hard pressed to see the exit after those questions are asked. Michael is a lightning rod who always elicits a reaction for or against. His films may have stirred controversy, but time and again he is proven right.

Well he is back...and we couldn’t be happier to have him bring his new film WHERE DO WE INVADE NEXT as our 30th Anniversary opener. In “Where to Invade Next,” Michael Moore journeys abroad to find solutions to some of America’s most pressing problems. The film is a loving tribute to what used to be the American way — and could be again.

In 1989, after 3 months on the job as Director of FLIFF, I attended my first ever film fest, the Toronto Film Festival. I went to see ROGER & ME, Michael’s first film, and talked with him after the Q&A. I invited him down to screen at FLIFF. Since that momentous meeting (at least for me), Michael has attended FLIFF five times, more than any other visiting filmmaker. He is always the best guest, entertaining and accommodating – doing whatever he can to help FLIFF (and I’m sure all the other fests he attends). In 2005, our 20th anniversary, after Hurricane Wilma wiped out Cinema Paradiso, and the entire film fest was in jeopardy, Michael called out of the blue offering to help. ‘What do you have in mind?’ I dunno, put an evening together and I’ll come talk.’ I did, Michael did and the sold-out crowd at AMC Coral Ridge loved it. Our top grossing (and netting) event of ’05. Brilliant filmmaker, yes. True friend, absolutely...the best.

THE DIRECTOR: Michael Moore was born in Flint, Michigan and worked as a journalist before turning to filmmaking. His Farenheit 9/11 (‘04) won the Palme d'Or and FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes. Many of his features have played the Festival, including his debut, Roger & Me (‘89), The Big One (‘97), Bowling for Columbine (‘02), which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Slacker Uprising (‘07),Capitalism: A Love Story (‘09), and Where to Invade Next (‘15).

NEVER THE SAME: THE PRISONER OF WAR EXPERIENCE

Cook-out in Courtyard (4:30) Wednesday, Nov 11, 5pm, CP-Lauderdale, introduced by Loretta Swit

FLORIDA & FESTIVAL PREMIERE

Director: Jan Thompson / Philippines / 2014 / 85 min / BluRay / English

In this intimate and moving portrait, American prisoners of Imperial Japan during World War II reveal their indomitable will to survive. Starved, beaten, sick and brutalized, but always keeping a wry sense of humor, these amazing soldiers used gallows humor to beat the odds. Some of the men were artists, some wrote poetry and songs and many collected recipes.

The program paints a grim portrait of the ways that the men were forced to survive three and half years of captivity. Along with on-camera interviews with former POWs, the program is packed with excerpts from diaries, poems, over 100 original drawings and cartoons, recipes and songs. The film includes the story of the infamous “hell ships” where the POWs were sent to Japan and Manchuria as slave laborers. The death rate was high due to suffocation, starvation, exposure and by being bombed by “friendly fire”-their own US bombers not aware of the human cargo below.

Never The Same is unique because of its many layers as it reaches deep to the core of how the men created coping mechanisms to survive. Since they were stripped of their dignity any resemblance of humanity quickly disappeared. It was a kind of social Darwinism and sheer luck that carried the survivors through their ordeal.

CANDY CLARK

Candy Clark was born in Oklahoma, but grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. She moved to New York after high school where she pursued modeling; however, her career was destined to be in front of a movie camera. Clark’s feature film debut was in Fat City directed by John Huston and co-starring Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges. The story centers on two boxers, one whose career is on the decline and one whose career is just taking off. Ironically, it is the only film about boxing helmed by the legendary director who had actually been a boxer at one point. Clark followed Fat City with a role which would become one of her signature parts, that of Debbie in George Lucas’s American Graffiti, in which she starred alongside Charles Martin Smith, Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Mackenzie Phillips, Harrison Ford, Bo Hopkins, Cindy Williams and Wolfman Jack! Reviewing the film for The New York Times, Roger Greenspun wrote, “American Graffiti exists not so much in its individual stories as in its orchestration of many stories, its sense of time and place. Although it is full of the material of fashionable nostalgia, it never exploits nostalgia.” Greenspun went on to say, “It is a very good movie, funny, tough, unsentimental. It is full of marvelous performances from actors (especially Candy Clark, Richard Dreyfuss, and Cindy Williams) hardly known for previous screen credits.” Academy voters obviously agreed with Greenspun for Candy Clark received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her work in the film, and she reprised her role in More American Graffiti six years later. Ms. Clark appeared with David Bowie and Rip Torn in the science fiction drama The Man Who Fell to Earth. Reportedly, she

spent 96-and-a-half hours in the make-up chair during the production of the film and donned a hat to appear in Bowie’s role one day when the actor was out sick. A reviewer for Slant magazine called the film “alternately beautiful, mystifying, and embarrassing.” Some of Ms. Clark’s other motion pictures include Handle with Care directed by Jonathan Demme and co-starring fellow American Graffiti alum Paul Le Mat, The Big Sleep with Robert Mitchum, Sarah Miles and Richard Boone, When You Comin’ Back, Red Ryder? with Marjoe Gortner, Q with David Carradine and Michael Moriarty, Blue Thunder directed by John Badham and costarring Roy Scheider and Warren Oates, Hambone and Hillie with Lillian Gish, Amityville 3-D with Tony Roberts and Tess Harper, The Blob, Radioland Murders, and Zodiac among many others. Ms. Clark made her television debut on the series Room 222 and some of the other series on which she has appeared include The New Perry Mason, Banacek, The New Dick Van Dyke Show, Faerie Tale Theatre, Simon & Simon, Magnum, P.I., Hunter, Matlock, Brothers, St. Elsewhere, Father Dowling Mysteries, Baywatch Nights and Criminal Minds. Her made-for-television films include Mystery Woman: Redemption, This is How the World Ends, The Price She Paid, Popeye Doyle, Cocaine and Blue Eyes, Rodeo Girl, Where the Ladies Go, James Dean and Amateur Night at the Dixie Bar and Grill. In addition to her Oscar nomination, Ms. Clark won the Saturn Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films for Best Supporting Actress in Blue Thunder.

Ms. Clark will receive the FLIFF Lifetime achievement award on Saturday, November 14 prior to the screening of aMeRICaN GRaFFITI at Cinema Paradiso – Lauderdale.

CANDY CLARKE TRIBUTE FILM

Director: George Lucas / USA / 1973 / 110 min / BluRay PLOT: A couple of high school grads spend one final night cruising the strip with their buddies before they go off to college.

Ok, the plot of this movie is simple, pure and true in so many ways. But as you will read Roger Ebert’s original (and excellent) review below, you learn the plot is secondary to the era. When I saw AMERICAN GRAFFITI it was the most joyous, yet melancholy movie moment of my life. And though I was 23 years old, when I saw Candy Clark as Debbie on-screen, I instantly developed a movie crush and regressed to my high school memories.

Roger ebert’s review My first car was a ‘54 Ford and I bought it for $435. It wasn’t scooped, channeled, shaved, decked, pinstriped, or chopped, and it didn’t have duals, but its hubcaps were a wonder to behold.

When I went to see George Lucas’s “American Graffiti” that whole world – a world that now seems incomparably distant and innocent – was brought back with a rush of feeling that wasn’t so much nostalgia as culture shock. Remembering my high school generation, I can only wonder at how unprepared we were for the loss of innocence that took place in America with the series of hammer blows beginning with the assassination of President Kennedy.

The great divide was November 22, 1963,and nothing was ever the same again. The teenagers in “American Graffiti” are, in a sense, like that cartoon character in the magazine ads: the one who gives the name of his insurance company, unaware that an avalanche is about to land on him. The options seemed so simple then: to go to college, or to stay home and look for a job and cruise Main Street and make the scene.

The options were simple, and so was the music that formed so much of the way we saw ourselves. “American Graffiti”‘s sound track is papered from one end to the other with Wolfman Jack’s nonstop disc jockey show, that’s crucial and absolutely right. The radio was on every waking moment. A character in the movie only realizes his car, parked nearby, has been stolen when he hears the music stop: He didn’t hear the car being driven away. The music was as innocent as the time. Songs like “Sixteen Candles” and “Gonna Find Her” and “The Book of Love” sound touchingly naive today; nothing prepared us for the decadence and the aggression of rock only a handful of years later. The Rolling Stones of 1972 would have blown WLS off the air in 1962.

“American Graffiti” acts almost as a milestone to show us how far (and in many cases how tragically) we have come. Stanley Kauffmann, who liked it, complained in the New Republic that Lucas had made a film more fascinating to the generation now between thirty and forty than it could be for other generations, older or younger. But it isn’t the age of the characters that matters; it’s the time they inhabited. Whole cultures and societies have passed since 1962. “American Graffiti” is not only a great movie but a brilliant work of historical fiction; no sociological treatise could duplicate the movie’s success in remembering exactly how it was to be alive at that cultural instant.

On the surface, Lucas has made a film that seems almost artless; his teenagers cruise Main Street and stop at Mel’s Drive-In and listen to Wolfman Jack on the radio and neck and lay rubber and almost convince themselves their moment will last forever. But the film’s buried structure shows an innocence in the process of being lost, and as its symbol Lucas provides the elusive blonde in the white Thunderbird -- the vision of beauty always glimpsed at the next intersection, the end of the next street. Who is she? And did she really whisper “I love you” at the last traffic signal? In “8 1/2,” Fellini used Claudia Cardinale as his mysterious angel in white, and the image remains one of his best; but George Lucas knows that for one brief afternoon of American history angels drove Thunderbirds and could possibly be found at Mel’s Drive-In tonight... or maybe tomorrow night, or the night after.

ESTELLE PARSONS TRIBUTE FILM

Director: Arthur Penn / USA / 1967 / 111 min / BluRay / English

**** Roger Ebert, September 25, 1967 The lives in this case belonged, briefly, to Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. They were two nobodies who got their pictures in the paper by robbing banks and killing people. They weren't very good at the bank robbery part of it, but they were fairly good at killing people and absolutely first-class at getting their pictures in the paper. Bonnie was a gum-chewing waitress and Clyde was a two-bit hood out on parole. But from the beginning, they both seemed to have the knack of entertaining people. Bonnie wrote ballads and mailed them in with pictures Clyde took with his Kodak. They seemed to consider themselves public servants, bringing a little sparkle to the poverty and despair of the Dust Bowl during the early Depression years. Under Arthur Penn's direction, this is a film aimed squarely and unforgivingly at the time we are living in. It is intended, horrifyingly, as entertainment. And so it will be taken. The kids on dates will go to see this one, just like they went to see "Dirty Dozen" and "Born Losers" and "Hells Angels on Wheels."

But this time, maybe, they'll get more than they counted on. The violence in most American movies is of a curiously bloodless quality. People are shot and they die, but they do not suffer. The murders are something to be gotten over with, so the audience will have its money's worth, the same is true of the sex. Both are like the toy in a Crackerjack box: Worthless, but you feel cheated it it's not there.

In "Bonnie and Clyde," however, real people die. Before they die they suffer, horribly. Before they suffer they laugh, and play checkers, and make love, or try to. These become people we know, and when they die it is not at all pleasant to be in the audience.

The performances throughout are flawless. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, in the title roles, surpass anything they have done on the screen before and establish themselves (somewhat to my surprise) as major actors.

Michael J. Pollard, as C.W. Moss, the driver and mechanic for the gang, achieves a mixture of moronic good humor and genuine pathos that is unforgettable.

Gene Hackman and Estelle Parsons play Buck and Blanche Barrow, the other members of the gang, as inarticulate, simple, even good - willed. When Buck is reunited with his kid brother, they howl with glee and punch each other to disguise the truth that they have nothing to say. After the gang has shot its way out of a police trap and Buck is mortally wounded, Blanche's high, mindless scream in the getaway car provides, for me, a very adequate vision of hell. This is pretty clearly the best American film of the year. It is also a landmark. Years from now it is quite possible that "Bonnie and Clyde" will be seen as the definitive film of the 1960s, showing with sadness, humor and unforgiving detail what one society had come to.

★ THE FLORIDA PRIZE ★

2015 marks the inaugural year of the presentation of the annual award, THE FLORIDA PRIZE. In alternating years the award will be given to a Florida Film Pioneer (Victor Nunez in 2015) and an Emerging Florida Filmmaker on even years.

VICTOR NUNEZ

A member of the founding boards of the Independent Feature Project (IFP) and the Sundance Film Institute, Victor Nunez has been making Indy movies for over four decades. Born in Deland, Nunez received his degrees at Antioch College and University of California at Los Angeles and began his work in the 1970s on educational and industrial films while still managing to make three award winning shortsTaking Care of Mother Baldwin (1970), Charley Benson’s Return to the Sea (1972), and A Circle in the Fire (1974). His feature film debut was Gal Young’Un (1979), financed with grants from the NEA and the Florida Arts Council. Based on the short story by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, the movie is set in the Prohibition Era Florida and is about a widowed Florida woman, her new opportunistic bootlegger husband and his young girlfriend. Starring Dana Preu, the film was invited to the New York, Toronto, and London film fests as well as the Director’s Fortnight in Cannes. In the NY Times, Vincent Canby called it, “an astonishingly good first feature, written, directed, photographed, edited and produced by Victor Nunez...I know very little about Mr. Nunez except that he lives and works in Florida, but if he’s representative of our new regional film makers, things are looking up.” His next film was A Flash of Green (1984) adapted from a John D. MacDonald novel and financed by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation and PBS American Playhouse. Set in the early ‘60s along the Gulf Coast of Florida, A Flash of Green tells of a tormented reporter drawn into aiding a self-serving county commissioner in an underhanded landfill development. Starring Ed Harris, Blair Brown, and Richard Jordan, the film was shown at the NY and Toronto Film Festivals, Cannes and on PBS American Playhouse. Nunez used a windfall from a great-aunt to finance Ruby in Paradise (1993), which starred then-newcomer Ashley Judd playing a young woman fleeing a bad relationship in the back woods of Tennessee who ends up working in a souvenir shop in Panama City. Again the film was shown at the NY and Toronto Fests and Director’s Fortnight. The film jointly won the 1993 Grand Jury Prize for Drama at the Sundance Film Festival and was selected by Roger Ebert as 36

one of his “Top Ten” films of the year. Ashley won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her performance. In 1997, Ulee’s Gold, produced through Jonathan Demme’s company, garnered Victor’s widest audience and earned star Peter Fonda the Golden Globe and NY Film Critics Award as well as an Oscar Nomination for Best Actor. Set in the tupelo honey-producing region of the Apalachicola River, Peter played a third-generation beekeeper with a host of personal problems. Praising the star and director in The NYTimes, Janet Maslin called the film, “beautiful and heartfelt, an oasis of humanity in a season of furious hyperbole. Simple almost to a fault and yet effortlessly wrenching, it shows nothing more than the spiritual reawakening of a hard-bitten loner. Yet the star and filmmaker make this story resonate in moving, meaningful ways.” Coastlines (2002) plays out a messy triangle between three childhood friends. Starring Josh Brolin, Tim Olyphant and Sarah Wynter. Nunez’s characters and stories have often been described as emotionally resonant, multi-layered character driven narratives. Emmanuel Levy, in his book “Cinema of Outsiders”, states “Integrating Florida’s unique landscape and spirit, Nunez’s fully realized drama represents American regional cinema at its very best. A quick sojourn in New Mexico as a “hired gun” directing Rubin Blades as a father dying of cancer in Spoken Word (2009), while a great adventure, did seem a long way from the Gulf Coast and left the question of “what next,” wide open. Victor Nunez was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2008, and his biography at Florida’s Division of Cultural Affairs states, “Victor Nunez has been called a national treasure of regional independent filmmaking. A visionary writer, director, cinematographer and producer, Nunez’s gripping work fuses character and place in portraits of his home state of Florida.” He is currently teaching directing at Florida State in his hometown of Tallahassee. “I don’t know what’s next, really. I’m not sure I recognize Florida anymore, but I am very grateful for this award. Perhaps it will inspire me to find my way back to my real Florida home one more time again.”

Mr. Nunez will attend a FLaSH oF GReeN and receive The Florida Prize at The FLIFF Gala, Saturday, November 21.

VICTOR NUNEZ TRIBUTE FILM

Director: Victor Nunez USA / 1984 / 131 min / DVD / English

Roger Ebertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original review, posted Jan 1, 1984

"A Flash of Green" is based on a novel by John D. MacDonald, and like a lot of his stories, it seems to be about the plot but is really about the characters. We start with a story about saving an unspoiled bay from greedy developers, and we end with a story about a man trying to save himself from his own greed. It's a relief, halfway through the movie, to realize it's not going to be about how the good guys win and the bad guys don't turn the grasslands into parking lots. Instead, it's going to be about a complicated relationship involving a newspaper reporter, his conscience, and the woman he loves.

The reporter is played by Ed Harris, who has never been better in a movie. He's not one of those hotshot journalists the movies like to fabricate, but a small-town journeyman who keeps a low profile, gets his job done, and in his own quiet way knows where all the bodies are buried. He gets a tip one day: Grassy Bay, the beautiful nature preserve, is once again being threatened by the schemes of Elmo Bliss (Richard Jordan), the rich and ambitious local developer.

He passes the tip along to Kat Hubble (Blair Brown), the woman who led the last fight to save the bay. He loves Kat Hubble. They've both known that for a long time, but the situation is complicated by Harris's own wife, who has been slowly dying for months, and by the fact that Kat is a recent widow. Harris has another problem. He needs money, and when Elmo Bliss offers to cut him in for a piece of the action, he agrees. Is that a contradiction? "A Flash of Green" is attentive to the compromises of daily life, and it understands how people can be complicated enough to hold two opposed ideas at the same time. Harris knows that what he is doing is wrong, that it is a betrayal of his friends, and yet he does it because it seems necessary. Most movie newspapermen are portrayed as either heroes or creeps. Either they win the Pulitzer, or they violate somebody's privacy. The Harris character is seen more carefully, as a hard-working small-town guy who has lost a lot of his illusions. The developer, played by Richard Jordan, also is seen as a specific case. He isn't simply a wheeler-dealer, but a man who has more ambition than taste, and who can convince himself that it'll be good for everybody if Grassy Bay is filled in. And the Blair Brown character is complex, too; she understands the sexual attraction that exists between herself and Harris, but she doesn't confuse it with love, because it's not love, it's simply unfinished business.

"A Flash of Green" was directed by Victor Nunez, who also made "Gal Young 'Un." Once again, he would rather explore his characters than send them spinning through some meaningless plot. Nunez lives near the Florida locations of this movie, and he has achieved a real sense of place. We feel the moist heat of the long summer nights, the cynical ways in which everybody knows everybody else's business, the urgency of unfulfilled people who can smell money, and think it means success.

SOUTHEAST PREMIERE E

Director: Nick Sandow / USA / 2015 / 85 min / DCP / English

Obsessed with mob culture, and desperate to fit in, Thomas sets out to fix the 1992 trial of John Gotti. He believes if the plan is executed, it will put him at the center of all that he idolizes. The plot is foiled, setting off events worthy of mob lore. The Wannabe intertwines real people and true events, past and present, with fantasy.

Nick Sandow’s writing and direction is spot on. He has crafted a beautifully written script with dialogue so true to life – true to character – it is thrilling to see the talented cast bring the script to life. From his director’s chair, Sandow is patient, allowing a natural progression, sometimes playfully (the flirtation), sometimes with tension and suspense (the last holdup). Vincent Piazza, (also one of the producers) is fearlessly insecure – he pulls all the right levers. Michael Imperioli (of The Sopranos fame) must have loved getting a role so different than his TV persona (mafia or tequila). Imperioli underplays it perfectly. But who would have thought Patricia Arquette could have topped BOYHOOD? My vote, she does it right here – with a character so tragically lost. She is, in a word, magnificent.

Mina and Rudy are that couple: adorable but not obnoxious. Intellectual but not condescending. Busy but still have time to post on Instagram. Yet, sometimes it seems this technologyobsessed duo can’t take their eyes off their screens.

3rd Street Blackout is a dark comedy – literally – that follows Mina and Rudy in the days after Hurricane Sandy left large parts of New York without power. In this analogue world, their flaws are exposed, their commitment challenged and their mettle tested. How much would you pay to deliver a message during a blackout?

PARTY

SEE PAGE 77 SEE PAGE INCLUDED INCLUDED

Co-Directors: Tony Pantages & Gil Bellows Cuba / 2013 / 78 min / HDCam / English + Spanish w/English sub-titles

Some people would kill for three days in Havana.

Jack Petty sits in an airport bar, nursing a drink. He’s on a stopover halfway to Havana, and so is the sexy lady who chats him up, giving him travel tips and whispering something scary in his ear. He’ll meet her again, in the midst of a conspiracy that includes assassination, kidnapping and more.

This is a film with a lot of tradition behind it: some major Hitchcock (particularly Strangers on a Train and The 39 Steps); the wised-up dialogue of old film noir; and the gritty detail and sharp plot twists of contemporary thrillers. It’s all put across with high spirits, and the cast is stellar—highlights include Christopher Heyerdahl as a slick member of the Canadian Consulate, John Cassini as a ruthless mob boss, and Phyllida Law as… well, you’ll see. And there are many other colorful characters, none of them trustworthy, most of them with their sights set on poor Jack. He’ll have to outwit, outrun or outfight them all—a tall order for a mere businessman on a conference trip. But he’s surprisingly cool under pressure. The fun here comes not just from the close shaves and slick repartee but from the knowledge, quickly acquired, that nothing is what it seems. (courtesy of the Vancouver Film Festival)

Director: Paula van der Oest / The Netherlands / 2014 / 97 min / DCP / Dutch w/English sub-titles Based on a true story.

Nurse Lucia (40) has been present at one inexplicable death too many, and the hospital alerts the police. Assistant District Attorney Judith (28), driven by ambition and genuinely outraged, gets stuck in and Lucia is sentenced to life in prison. But something keeps troubling Judith, and she discovers inconsistencies in witness statements, and even the suppression of lab evidence. Ignored by her superiors, Judith teams up with Lucia’s lawyer, but at every appeal the original guilty verdict is confirmed. Things look bleak until they get the media involved and the biggest miscarriage of justice in Dutch history is finally reversed.

THE DIRECTOR: Paula van der Oest graduated from the Netherlands Film and Television Academy in 1988 and worked as an assistant-director on several feature films before debuting in the cinema with 1996’s DE NIEUWE MOEDER (ANOTHER MOTHER), which premiered at the Venice Film festival. In 2002 ZUS & ZO (SIS & THAT), written by Paula, was nominated for a ‘Best Foreign Film’ Oscar - prompting Time Magazine to name her 'the Woody Allen of Amsterdam'.

Several years after making her first English-language film with MOONLIGHT in 2001 (which won her the Hollywood Discovery Award for Best European Film and Best Foreign Film at FLIFF), she directed Dutch stars Rutger Hauer and Carice van Houten in the hugely successful BLACK BUTTERFLIES (2011). An intense look at the life of South-African poet Ingrid Jonker, the film was sold to over fifty countries and has won a great number of national and international awards.

Returning to the present day subject-wise, she wrote and directed THE DOMINO EFFECT (2013), an ensemble piece which deals with the still on-going credit crunch. Her new film ACCUSED was very well received by Lucia de Berk herself, the victim of the biggest miscarriage of justice in Dutch history: "Although she changed certain aspects for dramatic reasons, she captured the heart of my story."

THE ADDERALL DIARIES

INDIE

FEATURE

FLORIDA PREMIERE F

Director: Pamela Romanowsky / USA / 2015 / 87 min / DCP / English

Based on the bestselling memoir by Stephen Elliott, The Adderall Diaries is the gripping and complex story of how an authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with a high-profile murder case leads him to come to terms with his troubled past while embarking on a potentially life-changing romance in the present.

James Franco plays Stephen Elliot, a once-successful novelist paralyzed by writer's block and an escalating Adderall dependency, who becomes obsessed with a high-profile murder case as a way to escape his personal troubles. His interest leads him to meet Lana Edmond (Amber Heard), a smart, sexy reporter who gives him unique access to the case. As their relationship takes off, Stephen is suddenly thrust back into the past when his father (Ed Harris), a cruel and vindictive man, shows up to challenge the veracity of the memoir Stephen is writing. As Stephen simultaneously delves into the details of the murder case (which turns out to have some unexpected parallels to his own troubled upbringing) and reunites with his estranged father, he is forced to separate truth from lies and fact from fiction--ultimately leading him to finally reconcile his past and confront his future.

APPLES FROM THE DESERT

FLORIDA PREMIERE Director: Arik Lubetzky & Matti Harari F Israel / 2015 / 96 min / DCP / Hebrew w/English sub-titles

The rebellious teenage daughter of ultra-Orthodox Jewish parents journeys into the secular world in APPLES FROM THE DESERT, an adaptation of the award-winning Israeli play that poignantly explores themes of love and reconciliation.

Rebecca Abravanel (a radiant Moran Rosenblatt) is an only child, living a cloistered existence with her strictly religious Sephardic parents in Jerusalem. Unhappy with the restrictive traditions of home and community, she secretly breaks taboos, attending dance classes where she forms a relationship with secular kibbutznik Dooby (the acting debut of Israeli singer and guitarist Elisha Banai). Suspicious and angry in the face of Rebecca’s growing acts of rebellion, her strict father (Shlomi Koriat) reacts by setting in motion a prearranged marriage to an older widower with children of his own. Rebecca’s mother (Reymond Amsalem) and aunt (Irit Kaplan) are appalled, but dare not defy the authoritarian man of the household. After Rebecca runs away from home, the family conflict culminates in a moment of truth, forcing them to confront their beliefs and one another. Nominated for three Israeli Academy Awards, APPLES FROM THE DESERT is a timeless and moving tale of tradition versus modernity.

A powerful industrialist is found with his throat cut in his luxury mansion. The famous novelist Betibú agrees to move into the neighborhood so she can write the chronicles of the case, but she soon discovers that this killing is just one in a series of murders of powerful men who share a dark past.

As the Oscar-winning The Secrets in their eyes showed, the Argentineans can deliver great noir, and Betibu, which comes from the same production stable, represents a solid addition to the canon. Like the best of the genre, it spine-tinglingly evokes the unpleasant monsters gliding beneath our smooth social surfaces. The Hollywood Reporter

This Argentine crime thriller is well written, produced and acted. The cast is superb, the locations range from intoxicatingly beautiful to intoxicatingly sinister...and a perfect addition to our 30th Annual Line-up.

FEATURE

FLORIDA PREMIERE John Crowley FDirector: USA / 2015 / 105 min / DCP / English

BROOKLYN tells the profoundly moving story of Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), a young Irish immigrant navigating her way through 1950s Brooklyn. Lured by the promise of America, Eilis departs Ireland and the comfort of her mother’s home for the shores of New York City. The initial shackles of homesickness quickly diminish as a fresh romance sweeps Eilis into the intoxicating charm of love. But soon, her new vivacity is disrupted by her past, and Eilis must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within. Screenplay: Nick Hornby / Producers: Finola Dwyer, Amanda Posey / Composer: Michael Brook / Cinematographer: Yves Bélanger / Editor: Jake Roberts / Production Designer: François Séguin / Principal Cast: Saoirse Ronan , Domhnall Gleeson, Michael Zegen, Emory Cohen, Mary O'Driscoll , Julie Walters, Emily Bett Rickards , Jim Broadbent Contact: Fox Searchlight Pictures

THE DIRECTOR: Crowley became involved in theatre as a student, seeing it as a stepping stone to directing film. He began directing plays in Dublin in the early 90s, reached London's West End by 1996 and eventually become an associate director at the Donmar Warehouse. In 2000, he directed Come and Go as part of the Beckett on Film series and made his feature debut Intermission (2003), a comedy drama set in Dublin, starring Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy and Kelly MacDonald, based on a screenplay by playwright Mark O'Rowe.

In May 2005 Crowley, along with Danny Boyle, launched the UK Film Council Development Fund's "25 Words or Less: Director’s Cut" scheme to develop a feature film project, stating that he wanted particularly to "create a contemporary 'rebirth' or transformation story about a man or woman who begins as someone that spreads coldness."

In 2007, Crowley reteamed with O'Rowe for the thought-provoking BAFTA-winning drama Boy A, about a young man's return to civilian life after imprisonment for a brutal childhood killing, which was made for British television but was released theatrically in the US the following year.

Additionally, Crowley was Tony nominated for the hugely successful London and Broadway runs of Martin McDonagh's play The Pillowman in 2003 and 2005. He directed Neve Campbell and Cillian Murphy in the West End production of Love Song in 2006-7, and in 2007 filmed a television version of Harold Pinter's Celebration starring Michael Gambon, Stephen Rea and Colin Firth. In 2009 he directed the film Is Anybody There?, set in 1980s seaside Britain, written by Peter Harness and starring Michael Caine as a grumpy ex-magician. In 2010, Crowley teamed once again with McDonagh for A Behanding in Spokane on Broadway.

A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet, is a clerk working in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol, an alluring woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage. As an immediate connection sparks between them, the innocence of their first encounter dims and their connection deepens. While Carol breaks free from the confines of marriage, her husband begins to question her competence as a mother as her involvement with Therese and close relationship with her best friend Abby come to light.

George Kress

THE DIRECTOR: Todd Haynes is known for making provocative films that subvert narrative structure and resound with transgressive, complex eroticism. Born 1961, in LA and developed an interest in film at a young age. While still a high school student, he produced his first film, a short about contemporary teenage life entitled The Suicide (1978). Haynes studied at Brown University, making his directorial debut with Assassins: A Film Concerning Rimbaud (1985). He gained his first dose of attention and controversy with Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987). A psychological docudrama about singer and anorexia victim Karen Carpenter, the film blended sharp satire (...its use of Barbie dolls to portray the characters) with historical perspective and surprising compassion. The considerable notice it earned at a number of film festivals was tempered by a lawsuit filed against Haynes by Richard Carpenter, whom the film portrayed in a less than flattering light. Controversy and acclaim again came Haynes' way with his 1991 feature directorial debut, Poison. The exploration of AIDSera deviancy, alienation, death, homosexuality, and persecution told in turn as a vox-pop documentary, '50s sci-fi horror fantasy, and gay love story. The fact that it received $25,000 worth of funding from the National Endowment for the Arts made the film a target of the campaign being waged by the right-wing American Family Asso. If anything, the publicity generated by the controversy helped the film, and Poison and won the 1991 Sundance's Grand Prize, establishing Haynes as a talent to be taken seriously. He resurfaced with Safe. The story of a housewife (Julianne Moore) who is literally allergic to the 20th century. This recognition was apparent in the anticipation surrounding Haynes' next feature, 1998's Velvet Goldmine. Starring Christian Bale, and Ewan McGregor, the film a loving tribute to the Glam rock era. In 2002, Haynes finally won both critical approval and popular success with his Oscar nominated Far From Heaven. The film boasted lush cinematography, a sweeping, perceptive score from Elmer Bernstein, and brilliant leading performances by Julianne Moore, Dennis Haysbert, Dennis Quaid and Patricia Clarkson.

UNITED STATES PREMIERE Alexandre Coffre FFrance / 2014 / 80 min / DCP / French w/English sub-titles

On this Christmas Eve, six-year-old Antoine has only one idea in mind: to meet Father Christmas and go on a trip to the stars with him in his sleigh.

When Father Christmas does magically fall onto his balcony, Antoine is too dazzled to see that he is in fact a thief in disguise, who is stealing jewels from apartments in chic neighborhoods.

Despite all his efforts to get rid of the very determined boy, Father Christmas and Antoine form an improbable duo who traverse Paris from roof to roof, each of them looking for their own dream.

This film is one of my favorites of FLIFF2015. Essential to any great movie is ‘Do you care about the characters?’ The answer is an undeniable YES! Heart, pathos, comedy, suspense, action and surprise...this is a 6 cylinder vehicle with V8 thrust. The director, Alexander Coffre was the Director / Co-Writer of last year’s hit THE VOLCANO. This film is a different animal. Still lots of laughs, but much more moving in such an engaging fashion. Cinema magnifique!

Fox-fairies are evil demons from Japanese folklore, who rob men of their lives. Liza, a 30-year-old nurse, goes in search of love, but her ill-fated admirers all die on their first date.

Liza has taken care of Marta, widow of the former Japanese ambassador, for the last 12 years. Liza’s only companion is her imaginary friend, Tomy Tani, the ghost of a Japanese pop singer from the 1950s. It’s her birthday, and so Liza goes to a Mekk Burger’s to find romance. While she’s away, Marta dies. Jealous relatives report Liza to the police for murdering Marta to inherit her apartment. Sergeant Zoltan is put on the case. The policeman rents a room from Liza so he can keep a closer eye on his suspect. Zoltan secretly repairs a stack of faulty fittings, very nearly gets killed in the process, and falls slowly in love with Liza. Liza gains confidence and begins to look better when she takes tips from a women’s magazine, but all her dating efforts end in fatal accidents orchestrated by Tomy Tani. Liza is convinced that she has become a fox-fairy, a deadly demon from Japanese folklore. The battle for Liza’s life begins between the mysterious pop singer and Sergeant Zoltan.

A peculiar and poignant comedy set in a fictionalized 1970s Hungary with a capitalist system… Liza, The Fox-Fairy is a sarcastic fairy tale for grownups.

Karoly as a small town boy had little knowledge of his future as a teenager, so to gain some time to think he enrolled the Budapest University of Economics, where he finally met an extraordinary art-form – film. That fatal meeting made him a filmgeek, and wrote his final thesis on American film industry...

With his university degree he started as a production runner, then soon became a location manager. He joined Saatchi and Saatchi Budapest as a production assistant. He was one of the first freelancer agency producers of Hungary, he worked for almost all the major international network agencies in Hungary.

He never gave up his ambition to become a director. His weird sense of humor and emotional touch can be witnessed in his more than 150 commercials, and also in his 10 short-films that won several national and international awards.

His relentlessness and persistence finally made possible for him to shoot his first feature film, Liza, the Fox-fairy, is a funny fairy tale for grown ups..

FLORIDA PREMIERE F

Director: William Monahan / USA / 2015 / 93 min / DCP / English

In this electrifying and darkly comedic Hollywood neo-noir, an artist has an ominous encounter with a drifter in the desert, which gets taken to shocking surprises.

Garret Hedlund plays Thomas, a brooding artist in a spiritual funk who leaves the comfort of his Hollywood Hills home to spend a few days in the Mojave desert. Before long, though, he meets Jack (Oscar Isaac), a dangerous, chameleon-like drifter who resents Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wealth and privilege.

A thrilling combination of a twisty Hitchcockian thriller, modern-day Hollywood satire, and thought-provoking meditation on identity and fame, Mojave is the second feature directed by Academy Award winning screenwriter William Monahan (The Departed), and as a director he delivers the same skillful craftsmanship and tonal complexity that has always been a hallmark of his writing. The cast is uniformly excellent, with Oscar Isaac delivering another ingenious and completely distinctive performance, making Jack not only a fun, unpredictable, and scary villain, but also a provocative counterpoint to the lifestyle and world Thomas so thoroughly embodies.

Written By: William Monahan / Produced By: William Monahan, Aaron L. Ginsburg, William Green, Justine Suzanne Jones / Starring: Oscar Isaac, Garrett Hedlund, Louise Bourgoin, Walter Goggins / Contact: A24 THE DIRECTOR: Monahan was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He moved to New York City and contributed to the alternative weekly newspaper New York Press and the magazines Talk, Maxim, and Spy. In 1997 Monahan won a Pushcart Prize for a short story. Monahan wrote a novel titled Light House: A Trifle, and Warner Bros. optioned the film rights. In 2001 20th Century Fox bought Monahan's spec script Tripoli, about William Eaton's epic march on Tripoli during the Barbary Wars, in a deal worth mid-six figures in American dollars, with Mark Gordon attached as producer. The script was given to Ridley Scott to direct.

Monahan steadily secured work in the film industry throughout the 2000s. Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B, hired Monahan to write an adaptation of Hong Kong director Andrew Lau's gangster film Infernal Affairs. Monahan respun Infernal Affairs as a battle between Irish American gangsters and cops in Boston's Southie district, and Martin Scorsese directed the completed screenplay under the title The Departed for Warner Bros. Monahan's work on the film would later earn him two Best Adapted Screenplay awards, from the Writers Guild of America and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

FLORIDA PREMIERE Director: Richard Berry F France / 2015 / 90 min / DCP / French w/English sub-titles

Max, Paul and Simon have been friends for 35 years. They take great pleasure in their one vacation a year together without their partners and meet-up regularly to spend evenings drinking or playing cards. Each has a successful career and they all appear to have perfect lives until the night Simon announces to his friends that he has just strangled his wife, Estelle after a blazing row. Max and Paul are horrified by Simon’s confession, but worse is to come when Simon asks them to lie and provide him with an alibi for the time Estelle was killed. Both men are torn between lying or turning over their best friend to the police.

Nos Femmes is following in a tradition for films celebrating male friendship that have long proved fertile ground for French directors. There’s been Hugo Gélin’s Comme des Frères, Marc Esposito’s Les Coeurs des Hommes 1,2 and 3,La Vérité si Je Mens (|Would I Lie to You) 1,2 and 3 and just last week Olivier Baroux examined male relationships in the comedy Entre Amis, with Auteuil once again in the lead role. Buddy movies are not the exclusive property of French directors, but it’s interesting to ask why there are so many films made in France about male friendships and so few about the female equivalent? Of course Berry’s film is not just about the ties between men, but also about the limits of friendship and how far one person can ever truly know another. Deep stuff, but Berry knows when to lighten the mood and shift the film in a completely different direction.

Although publicity for the film shows the three actors together, this is really a two-man show with Berry and Auteuil expertly batting the witty, incisive dialogue back and forth while covering a range of issues from moral responsibility, to the nature of friendship, fidelity, and, of course, love and mariage. And it’s funny – really, laugh out loud funny – especially the unforgettable sight of Berry dancing and rapping to Dans Ma Benz by French group, NTM. Nos Femmesis a real treat for audiences who will enjoy watching Berry and Auteuil at the top of their game and a script that provides genuine food for thought.

The Iranians are bringing missiles out of their bunkers and within an hour and a half they will be prepared to “push the button” and launch the missiles at any point in Israel.

Against the time that is running out, a drama is being reconstructed. It is a political, scientific and human drama that took place in Jerusalem and Paris during the 1950's - 60's.

On his return from a trip to a concentration camp, Ben Gurion gives an order to develop Israel’s nuclear option – as an insurance policy for the remainder of the Jewish people. At the time only the USA, Great Britain and Russia had the bomb

At the center of this story are the Head of the Mossad as well as a key Nuclear Physicist together with his doctoral students. They are recruited to develop the bomb for Israel. The mission seems impossible.

The tense and romantic relationships between the characters are presented against the background of the determination of the Head of the Mossad to attain the Bomb and the soul-searching of the physicists who understand the terrible significance of this project.

Operation Sunflower also deals with the dilemma of the commitment of the Jewish People around the world towards the State of Israel and how far will they go in order to help the Jewish State. The Story that unfolds in the film, in the words of one of the characters, "was mythical".

There’s a little something of early Robert Altman in this enjoyably spiky comic war movie from the Spanish director Fernando León de Aranda: think of it as a second helping of M*A*S*H.

We’re somewhere in the Balkans in late 1995, and word of the ceasefire that has been thrashed out between the Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Yugoslavian foreign ministers in the United States has not yet filtered up to the rubble-strewn mountains where Mambrú and B, two international aid workers played by Benicio Del Toro and Tim Robbins, are doing their best to keep the local communities from self-combustion.

Overnight, the corpse of a very fat man has appeared in a very deep village well, which is bad news on two counts. Firstly, it has to be removed from the well within around 24 hours or the water will be rendered unpotable; and secondly, the corpse didn’t get there by itself, which means there’s more afoot here than cosmic bad luck. Mambrú (Del Toro) successfully winches the body up most of the way, but the rope snaps and down it goes again – just as the wildeyed and woolly brained veteran B (Robbins) screeches on to the scene with Sophie (Mélanie Thierry), a recent aid-agency recruit with a delicate stomach, in the back of his jeep.

Screenplay: Leon de Aranoa, based on the novel “Dejarse llover” by Paula Farias. / Camera: Alex Catalan / Editor: Nacho Ruiz Capillas / Music: Arnau Bataller / Production Designer: Cesar Macarron / Principal Cast: Benicio Del Toro, Tim Robbins, Olga Kurylenko, Melanie Thierry, Fedja Stukan, Eldar Residovic, Sergi Lopez / Contact: IFC Films

FEATURE

Director: Naji Abu Nowar Jordan / 2014 / 100 min / DCP / Arabic w/English sub-titles

1916. While war rages in the Ottoman Empire, Hussein raises his younger brother Theeb (“Wolf”) in a traditional Bedouin community that is isolated by the vast, unforgiving desert. The brothers’ quiet existence is suddenly interrupted when a British Army officer and his guide ask Hussein to escort them to a water well located along the old pilgrimage route to Mecca. So as not to dishonor his recently deceased father, Hussein agrees to lead them on the long and treacherous journey. The young, mischievous Theeb secretly chases after his brother, but the group soon find themselves trapped amidst threatening terrain riddled with Ottoman mercenaries, Arab revolutionaries, and outcast Bedouin raiders. Naji Abu Nowar’s powerful and assured directorial debut, set in the land of Lawrence of Arabia, is a wondrous “Bedouin Western” about a boy who, in order to survive, must become a man and live up to the name his father gave him. THe HuFFINGToN PoST “It is a spectacularly epic film with a wonderfully intimate human story. It possesses everything that allows me fall in love with cinema, again and again… the kind of film that grabs a hold of you and doesn’t let go.”

THoMPSoN oN HoLLywood “A quietly gripping adventure tale that’s perhaps intended as a corrective to the romantic grandeur of Lawrence of Arabia, Naji Abu Nowar’s THEEB is classic storytelling at its finest… Eid (Jacir) carries this concise and unsentimental film on his young shoulders with amazing assurance.”

SCReeN daILy “A beautifully simple and stunningly elegant film – that can be seen as something of a companion piece to Lawrence of Arabia – Naji Abu Nowar’s delightful THEEB is a striking film.”

SLaNT MaGazINe “Despite the film’s measured pacing and simple plot, the story takes several surprising turns, confounding viewer expectations throughout. This combination of unhurried exposition and unexpected plot twists is a testament to the confidence of the filmmakers’ vision and their faith in the strength of the material… THEEB might herald the inauguration of a new film genre: the Bedouin western.”

SOUTHEAST PREMIERE Director: Stefan Liberski E

Japan / 2013 / 100 min / DCP / English + French & Japanese w/English sub-titles

Her head filled with dreams, Amélie, 20, goes back to Japan, where she spent her childhood. To earn a living, she decides to give privates classes in French and meets Rinri, her first and only student, a young Japanese man with whom she soon has an intimate relationship. Between the pitfalls of a culture shock that is both poetic and amusing, she discovers a side of Japan she had never seen before...

The story is a simple one: Amélie and Rinri meet, are attracted to one another, delight in each other’s company for a while, then break up. Adapted from the novel, the movie in turn gives a fresh interpretation of this universal story. The film uses themes that run throughout the book: Japan, transitioning into adulthood, sensuality, otherness, the fascination exerted by beauty.

The Japan of TOKYO FIANCÉE is often veiled by a hazy mist that resembles a moist cocoon in which Amélie’s metamorphosis takes place; a metaphor for the place both real and imaginary that we leave behind as we exit childhood. Still a very young girl when she returns to the Japan where she spent her early childhood, it’s as a young woman that she will leave Japan for the second time.

More than a discovery of love, the heroine will be initiated into sensuality. She confuses the pleasures of sex with that of food. The taste of ripe kaki fruit conjures up the eroticism of Japanese baths and hot springs. Bodies explore one another in the furô and onsen’s hot waters. For young Amélie, her Japanese lover embodies this mysterious otherness. Rinri is both very handsome and unique. The film resonates the otherness of Japan, that of sexuality, which the young woman discovers, and that of beauty. It is my intention to show Japan’s beauty differently: the Land of the Rising Sun can still reveal itself - to us as well as the heroine - in a very unexpected light. Tokyo Fiancée is also a portrait of a city and a country. The Fukushima disaster does occur in the course of the film, straying from the novel, but it couldn’t have been otherwise: it is impossible to describe Japan today without mentioning Fukushima.

WORLD PREMIERE Christopher Lovick And Christian Ducale U Vietnam - India / 2015 / 70 min / DVD / English

Conceived in an ashram, a young writer’s transformational journey through India as he searches for his dying father who he has never met.

Ok, I’m going to make a lofty comparison...this film’s mood, pacing and tenor reminds me of Apocalypse Now...not so much in subject, its not remotely a war story. It is a stranger in a strange land tale. And most prominently, the protagonist narrates from his mind – not unlike Capt. Willard’s narration in A.N.

The film is exciting, surprising and in just over an hour you see Vietnam and much trekking in India. There is humor, suspense and wonder galore.

THE BEAUTIFUL ONES

FEATURE

SOUTHEAST PREMIERE E

Director: Jesse V. Johnson / USA / 2015 / 94 min / BluRay / English

Gabriel Tancredi (Ross McCall from Green Street Hooligans 2), the nephew of a local crime boss, has built a life for himself more or less modeled after one of the characters played by his favorite movie star: Steve McQueen. He’s got McQueen’s Mark IV 5.0 Cobra Roadster for his wheels, he’s got the shades, the watch, the threads, and even the chic over the shoulder gun holster from Bullitt.

On the surface, Gabriel looks like a cop straight out of the late 60’s or early 70’s, and with his background in the military, he’s got more than the gab and swagger of a wannabe – he’s the real thing. His aunt Catarina (Julie Warner from Indian Summer) is running the syndicate her father started decades ago.

The late Ed Lauter (Born on the Fourth of July.) plays Old Man Tancredi, the former head of the family, now wheel-chair bound and suffering from Alzheimer's, his vicious temper is still raw, his anger at the world seems to have eaten him from the inside outwards, a visit on his Birthday is anything but warm and friendly. For Gabriel, his Grandfather represents success in the Crime game, all your friends are in jail or dead, you’re angry at life and no one wants you around.

Shot in beautiful black and white in a style reminiscent of a bygone era, Jesse V. Johnson’s The Beautiful Ones is a calculated lark of a film, with wit, pizazz, and plenty of badass action. This movie has moxy to spare, and it’s a breath of fresh air in a depressed movie market that has forgotten how to produce movies that actually feel cinematic and spry.

Arnav, a graffiti artist and bartender, lives near the Old City of Jerusalem.

THE DIRECTOR: One of Israel’s most influential directors, Nesher was born in Israel but spent much of his adolescence in New York, where he studied at Ramaz Yeshiva and Columbia University.

Nesher’s first movie, The Troupe (1979), was an irreverent look at an army entertainment troupe. Nesher wrote and directed Dizengoff 99, the story of a group of young people in Tel Aviv. Nesher shifted gears and made Rage and Glory, a controversial film about a Jewish underground organization during the 1940s. The movie set off a heated debate in Israel, and in 2001 was selected by the Lincoln Center Film Society as one of the most important Israeli films of all time. De Laurentiis convinced Nesher to come to Hollywood. Nesher started as a writer for such Ron Howard and James Cameron. In 1990, he wrote and directed the sci-fi mystery, Timebomb, and the supernatural mystery, Doppelganger, starring Drew Barrymore. Nesher’s next theatrical offering, Taxman. The New York Times called it, “A delight . . . a charmer of a mystery.”

In 2001, Nesher returned to Israel to write and direct Turn Left at the End of the World. Later in 2004, Nesher’s experimental political documentary, Oriental, won the “In the Spirit of Freedom” Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival. Nesher’s next film, The Secrets (2007), about young ultra-Orthodox women who meet a mysterious Frenchwoman, played by Fanny Ardant, was hailed by The Hollywood Reporter as, “Witty and wise, sensual and emotionally over-powering – one of the best Israeli movies in recent years.” New York Observer critic Andrew Sarris called it, “One of the best movies of the year.”

Leverne McDonnell was an Australian actor and a close friend and colleague.

Armed with low-tech gear and high-minded notions that penguin populations hold the key to human survival, Ron Naveen lays bare his 30 year love affair with the world’s most pristine scientific laboratory: Antarctica. Famed as a place that ‘wants you dead,’ his ragtag team of field-biologists embark on a journey to some of the harshest corners of the planet, where they track the impact of climate change on penguin populations - one nest at a time. But penguins aren’t the only stars. During the fifteen-day voyage, Ron discovers that the ashes of the legendary explorer Frank Wild – the famed leader on Ernest Shackleton’s expeditions - are sailing to his final burial place on board the ship, accompanied by descendants of both Wild and Shackleton.

EAST COAST PREMIERE

Director: Bobby Roth W USA / 2015 / 210 min / Digital File / English

Bobby Roth has directed more than eighty episodes of television, twenty-five TV movies, and thirteen feature films, and he has been teaching film seminars throughout the world for the last ten years. Now, through interviews with more than fifty of his colleagues in the film industry, hours of original behind-the-scenes footage, and an unprecedented glimpse of production materials, A Director Prepares: Bobby Roth’s Master Class demystifies the craft of directing and hands over all the tools aspiring filmmakers need to feel comfortable walking onto a set and calling Action! FLIFF will feature 3 of the 10 episodes. See schedule below.

episode 1 Preparation & Imagination Some schools of thought regarding film production emphasize spontaneity and the freedom of “winging it.” This is not one of them. This episode offers an overview of Bobby’s method, which emphasizes extremely disciplined preparation that allows you to be free in the moment, principally for the actors, and allows you flexibility for contingencies. An extensive case study from Prison Break helps illuminate the importance of prep work and how it can pay off.

episode 3 designing Shots One of the main elements of prep, in both film and television, is producing the shot list. This episode covers not only what a shot list is, how it should look, and whom to give it to, but also how to imbue camera instructions with emotion and personal investment. Extensive case studies from Lost and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. demonstrate the way personal experience can and should affect everything from lens choice to camera placement.

eipsode.6 Collaboration The director’s role is like a conductor in an orchestra, synthesizing different components by working with heads of multiple departments. This episode takes a unique look at building and maintaining relationships with your crew, and examines one of most students’ greatest anxieties about filmmaking: what to do when the collaborative process breaks down and relationships on set go sour.

episodes 7 & 8 How to Get actors to do what you want, Parts I & II At the very core of the craft of directing is working with actors. Central to the Bobby Roth method of directing is to prepare as extensively as possible in preparation in order to be available to the actors during production. During production, time is especially precious, and actors require great attention and sensitivity to deliver their best performances. In this double-episode, we take an extended look at the question Bobby is most frequently asked by students and young filmmakers: how do you get actors to do what you want? Interviews with more than twenty leading actors shed a diverse array of insights into what is expected of directors and the best strategies for building productive working relationships with them.

episode10 The Business The final episode looks outside the process of production itself towards what many film students find an even more urgent topic: the business of getting hired, raising funds, and getting brought back to work again. This episode focuses on interviews with showrunners, agents, and executives, who candidly illuminate the hierarchies at work in the hiring process of television, and how to build a career making movies.

THE F WORD

INDIE

DOCUMENTARY

WORLD PREMIERE U

Director: Robert Adanto / USA / 2015 / 104 min / DCP / English

The F Word explores radical, “4th wave” feminist performance via interviews with a younger generation of feminist artists using their bodies as subject matter. The female body has proven, and continues to be, central to their practice, and, as a result many of these artists remain marginalized by the mainstream art world. As Leah Schrager, well known for her performance practice Naked Therapy, states, “As soon as you introduce a bit of sexiness or sexuality into an artwork it suddenly becomes questionable. Just because something elicits arousal or shows elements of sexiness does absolutely not make it not art.” While some artists, like Ann Hirsch and Kate Durbin, choose to represent female identity though digital media, others, like the radical, queer, transnational feminist art collective, Go! Push Pops, explore sexuality and gender in pop culture in the digital age. As feminist lecturer Kristen Sollee asserts, 4th wavers “are not afraid to be ‘girly’, (or) to be hyper-feminine, or to self-objectify. That was something that was not part of feminism in the past, and now it’s becoming more and more acceptable.” Featuring: Narcissister, Ann Hirsch, Go! Push Pops, Leah Schrager, Kate Durbin, Rachel Mason, Rafia Santana, Rebecca Goyette, Claudia Bitran, Sadaf, Michelle Charles, Damali Abrams, Kristen Sollee, Nancy Princenthal and Susan Bee.

UNITED STATES PREMIERE FDirectors: Cyril Barbançon & Andy Byatt France / 2015 / 80 min / DCP / English

The greatest in depth examination of the birth of a storm off the coast of West Africa, and its evolution across the Atlantic, through the Caribbean and up the Gulf of Mexico, ultimately unleashing its fury on the U.S. coast.

The film is astounding because of its perspectives. From its the creation and development, we view the storm from the inhabitants of residents of Cape Verde Islands, the crew onboard the Hurricane Hunter airplanes, the view under water as the storm pummels the coral reefs, the wildlife impacted, the people of Hispaniola, Cuba and the Gulf residents in the United States.

The cool, calm narration adds dramatically – reinforcing the fact that nature is the ultimate power – we can prepare, evacuate, pray, but cannot affect the course or strength of this deadly natural disaster. HURRICANE 3D is an excellent teacher of the peril we face if precaution is neglected. Especially because of our geography annually in the line of fire, we recommend for all audiences from high school to seniors. The film is majestic, powerful, enlightening and highly informative.

NORTH AMERICA PREMIERE Director: Emanuel Rotstein W Germany / 2015 / 53 min / DVD / English

Germany's documentary THE LIBERATORS – WHY WE FOUGHT features the personal memories of some of the last living veterans. Emanuel Rotstein, producer for HISTORY, takes viewers on a journey from these veterans' quaint hometowns in the US to the shores of Europe and their final march through Nazi Germany. These stories are interwoven with the accounts of some of the few remaining survivors of Dachau who owe their life to the American soldiers. It’s almost 70 years since the fateful day April 29, 1945 but the life-altering experience has stayed with them to this very day. Until today both liberators and survivors suffer from what is now called post-traumatic stress disorder and still experience Holocaust-related nightmares. Until today both liberators and survivors share the determination that the world must never forget and understand General Eisenhower’s words, when he saw the stacked bodies inside a liberated camp: „We are told that the American soldier does not know what he was fighting for. Now, at least he will know what he is fighting against“.

What happens to a girl when she is born into a family that was expecting a boy? What drives a child to convince herself she is adopted?

With raw honesty and biting humor comes Gayle Kirschenbaum’s personal story of pain, survival and being born into the wrong family. Look At Us Now, Mother! documents a highly charged mother-daughter relationship’s transition from Mommie Dearest to Dear Mom, from hatred to love, with the daughter behind the camera. The film is an unflinching look at the complex bond between two women, illuminating not only family behaviors and patterns, but generational, cultural and individual histories. Gayle and Mildred’s journey spans decades and continents, fraught with conflict and emotional land mines; this is an intimate story of family dysfunctions, forgiveness and healing.

USA-Russia-Kiribati-Peru / 2015 / 81 min / DCP / English + Russian, Sakha, Ikiribati, Spanish, and Quechua, w/English sub-titles

Margaret Mead is the best-known anthropologist of all time. She was fascinated by how remote cultures, locked for centuries in a certain way of life, negotiated changes from the modern world. Today, anthropologist Susie Crate studies communities negotiating climate change. From Siberia to Peru to the South Pacific, Crate interacts with villagers who face melting permafrost, receding glaciers, and rising tides. The film interweaves the stories of these two observers of change. How are human beings programmed to deal with change? And if it’s too late to change our climate, is it possible to change how we’ve been programmed?

Susie’s teenage daughter Katie is her reluctant travel companion. Margaret Mead’s daughter Mary Bateson (76) is also an anthropologist. The path towards change, Bateson suggests, is a bridge between generations.

SHARKS OF WAR: TRUTH, TALES, AND TERROR

Sponsored by

FLORIDA PREMIERE F

Director: Robert Cantrell / Bahamas and USA / 2015 / 49 min / DVD / English

Before World War II, experts dismissed sharks as a threat to servicemen. Then in 1942, US Navy headquarters received reports about horrific attacks on castaways adrift from sunken ships and downed airplanes. Many of these reports proved to be true. Soon after the war, diving pioneers sought out sharks, expecting the worst because of the shark attack stories. Instead, they found an animal less to be feared than understood.

Join the team as they dive at night among the three shark species responsible for the worst mass attacks of World War II: the bull, tiger, and oceanic whitetip. Learn the haunting tale of survival told by USS Indianapolis survivor Richard Thelen and the promise he made to his father that brought him home.

STORIES ON THE SKIN TATTOO CULTURE AT FAU

Writer / Producer: Susan Rosenkranz USA / 2012 / 39 min / DVD / English

FLORIDA PREMIERE F

Stories on the Skin: Tattoo Culture at FAU is an ongoing creative collaboration between The Jaffe Center for Book Arts and Dr. Karen J. Leader, of the Department of Visual Arts and Art History, Florida Atlantic University. The origins of our project stem not from any hypothesis or opinion about the practice itself. As an art historian collaborating with a center committed to books as aesthetic objects, our focus is on a visual medium, the tattoo, and the textual component, the narrative, which, through interpretation and performance, offer a deeper understanding of the artful presentation of the self to the world, on the pages of the body. The film documents the project as students reveal their ink and stories, and answer questions about motivations, memories, and meanings. Some of these are transformed into live performances. Using original artworks and score, writer/producer Susan Rosenkranz weaves these materials into a revealing portrait of 21st-century tattoo culture.

WORLD PREMIERE U

Time Simply Passes is a film about James Joseph Richardson, an orange picker in Florida who was wrongfully convicted of murdering his seven children in 1967. He spent 21 years in prison, until he was released in 1989 when the conviction was overturned due to unique and miraculous circumstances. Since then, he's been surviving on donations from friends while attempting to receive compensation from the State.

It's a film about race, about Florida, about the evolution of small-town justice, about lost moments in history, about permanent flaws built into the American justice system, about corrupt police and politicians, and serves as an evaluation of the concept of restorative compensatory justice. The film relies heavily on archival footage, photographs, and documents, and strives to piece together many disparate elements to tell a story over 40 years in the making.

Director: Sharon Baker / Coastal US / 2015 / 32 min / BluRay / English

Compounded by sea level rise and stronger and more frequent storms, lives and infrastructure in coastal communities are increasingly at risk for flooding and wind driven destruction from events like super storm Sandy. Battle for the Barriers explores adaptation strategies and projects in coastal states along the Eastern US seaboard designed to help safeguard the people, wildlife and properties in these storm and flood prone areas. In the absence of Federal policy to address climate change, state-based organizations, both public and private, seek to protect beaches, dunes and wetlands--the first line of defense along the coastlines and inland waterways in harm's way.

WHEN VOICES MEET: ONE DIVIDED COUNTRY; ONE UNITED CHOIR; ONE COURAGEOUS JOURNEY ACROSS SOUTH AFRICA

Director: Nancy Sutton Smith South Africa / 2015 / 86 min / BluRay / English

They said it couldn’t – and shouldn’t – be done. South Africa was in flames from political violence, and the apartheid government was refusing to give up power. Risking their lives and careers, South African musician and music therapist Sharon Katz joined with singer and educator Nonhlanhla Wanda to form a 500-voice multiracial choir. Threatened with bombs and thwarted at every turn, they prevailed and railroaded across the country aboard The Peace Train to break through apartheid’s barriers.

Singing their way into the hearts, minds and soul of the divided country in the midst of a civil war, they promoted a peaceful transition to democracy and went on to become Mandela’s face of the new nation. When Voices Meet documents the trials, tribulations and triumphs of those musician activists and young choir members who performed together for seven years and then reunited 20 years later to tell their stories.

PLUNDERING AMERICA: THE CUBAN AMERICAN PIPELINE

Sponsored by

With the sweep of a pen, seemingly overnight, Cuba and the United States went from foes to friends. Late last year, President Obama announced a plan to normalize relations with the Castro government, ending 50 years of hostilities. In the ensuing debate, however, no one was confronting a costly problem: the impact of Cuban crime rings on the nation. The Sun Sentinel, in a groundbreaking series published in 2015, documented the eye-popping scope of the crimes. The investigation found Cuban crime rings had stolen more than $2 billion from the U.S. over two decades.

How did they gain a foothold and flourish? U.S. immigration policy made it easy. For over 50 years, the U.S. welcomed Cubans as refugees fleeing communism. The Cuban Adjustment Act allows automatic entry for Cubans who reach American soil and legal residency after just a year, an advantage given to no other immigrant group and one that aided the criminals.

Meet the investigation team: Sally Kestin and Megan O’Matz and database editor John Maines. After the 2004-05 hurricanes in Florida, the team uncovered massive fraud in FEMA’s disaster aid nationwide. That series was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in investigative reporting. An investigation by Kestin and Maines used SunPass toll records to document extreme speeding by off-duty South Florida police won the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal for Public Service. O’Matz, a graduate of Penn State, joined the Sun Sentinel in 2000 and previously worked for the Chicago Tribune. Kestin, a graduate of Northwestern School of Journalism, has been at the paper for 17 years. She came from the Tampa Tribune and started her career at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Maines has done data work for the newsroom since 1998. He was a reporter for 21 years, working at the Massena Observer, the Ithaca Journal, and the Clarion-Ledger in Miss. Taimy Alvarez, a photographer/video editor, is a graduate of the Univ of Florida’s College of Journalism. She has been on Sun Sentinel staff for the past 17 years, documenting sports, features and news locally and throughout the Caribbean and South America. Before that, she was a staff photographer with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

DIAMONDS, RUBIES AND PEARLS

It’s a year of milestone birthday celebrations; Broward County is having their 100th birthday - the diamond year; Broward Cultural Division’s Public Art & Design Program celebrates 40 years next year, the Ruby anniversary; and this year, fort Lauderdale international film festival celebrates its 30th Pearl Anniversary.

fice, and personal artistic vision realized. Sometimes, yes, they may be lower budget as a result, and sometimes this is the price for freedom to create. For this independence, ‘Independent Film’ is an important sector of the filmmaking industry.

fort Lauderdale’s international film festival is 30 years ‘Pearl’ strong, and growing right alongside Broward and indeed, Broward County’s arts and cultural sector.

As though in celebration of all these jewels, this year we have done a unique thing with a very successful “Filmed in Broward” weekend long film festival that showcased many of the memorable films shot in Broward County, and we have attracted some heavyweight filmmakers over the course of our history!

These filmmakers were interested in borrowing our palm-lined beaches, our expansive Everglades, our busy sunlit and moonlit streets, as backdrops for their stories. The warm breeze, the ocean and twinkling sky make for good, filmmaking drama, in films such as Cape fear directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte and Jessica Lange, The Birdcage by Mike Nicols, starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, both of which included scenes from Greater Fort Lauderdale.

As independent films go, we know they are called ‘independent’ because they are produced mostly or completely outside of major film studios, in addition to being produced and distributed by independent entertainment, allowing for creative expression outside the big box of-

The growth and development of fLiff has enticed filmmakers from Bangladesh, Albania, Belize, Bhutan, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Iceland, India, Iran, Malawi, Mongolia, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland and Tanzania, who culminate annually in the heart of Fort Lauderdale to ‘talk shop,’ exhibit their productions and exchange global ideas. They bring the world to us!

The Broward Cultural Council wishes to extend a mutual Happy Birthday to the fort Lauderdale international film festival, and emphasize its continued support and partnership in making Broward County a vibrant, artsy, talented destination for visitors and a home, with quality of life and international appeal for its residents.

Let’s celebrate our jewels!
