ARLENE DAHL

Often described as “the actress for whom Technicolor was invented,” Arlene Dahl is a legendary figure of Hollywood's Golden Age, and one of the first actresses to be given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her extraordinary beauty got her on the screen but it was her charm, elegant femininity, and acting skill that sustained her thirty-film career. Of Norwegian descent, Dahl was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota; her father was a Ford Motor dealer and executive, her mother sang with local theater groups and encouraged her daughter's early interest in acting. When she made her Broadway debut as a teenager in MR. STRAUSS GOES TO BOSTON, Arlene Dahl was discovered by Jack Warner and signed to a contract and was introduced as the Rose in “My Wild Irish Rose” at Warner Brothers. She was then signed by MGM where she made her mark in musicals, comedies, and film noir. Her most celebrated MGM film is the musical THREE LITTLE WORDS in which she co-starred with Fred Astaire and Red Skelton. However, the most important film of her early career, THE REIGN OF TERROR, was made for another studio. A thriller set during the French Revolution, it is a provocative political allegory of Cold War America. After making ten films at MGM, Arlene was signed by Paramount, where she co-starred with soon-to-be husband Fernando Lamas in the studio's first 3D feature, an opulent costume drama called SANGAREE. She also co-starred with Alan Ladd in “DESERT LEGION”, with Bob Hope in “HERE COME THE GIRLS” and Ray Milland in “JAMAICA RUN”. At UniversalInternational she also co-starred with Rock Hudson in BENGAL BRIGADE. At Fox she stole the show from Van Heflin, June Allyson, Fred MacMurray, Cornel Wilde, Clifton Webb, and Lauren Bacall in the early CinemaScope big business drama, WOMAN'S WORLD. She returned to the studio to star with Pat Boone and James Mason in the perennial favorite JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. In 1964 she co-starred in KISSES FOR MY PRESIDENT, an ahead-of-its-time story of America's first female

SLIGHTLY SCARLET

President! In all her films she is poised, decorative, and alluring – a true movie star, and when she was given the chance to prove herself in flashy dramatic roles, as in our featured attraction SLIGHTLY SCARLET, a taut film noir in ravishing color, she is memorable. Throughout her career Arlene has also appeared on television – as a panelist and host, and as guest star on such series as BURKE'S LAW, FANTASY ISLAND, and LUX VIDEO THEATRE. She found a new fan base during her long run as Lucinda Wilson on ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Her sixteen theatrical credits include a Broadway production of CYRANO DE BERGERAC opposite Jose Ferrer and starring as Margo Channing in APPLAUSE (the awardwinning musical version of ALL ABOUT EVE) at the Palace Theater. She is the Founder/President of the Broadway Walk of Stars Foundation which honors Stars and Legends who made Broadway what it is today. In addition to her acting career Arlene Dahl has been a businesswoman and an author. She began a widely syndicated beauty column in 1952 which she wrote for twenty years. She opened Arlene Dahl Enterprises in 1954 marketing cosmetics and designer lingerie; founded Dahlia, a fragrance company; and was director of beauty and fashion at Sears Roebuck. In the 1980s she began a syndicated column on astrology. Over all, she has written hundreds of columns and more than two dozen books on beauty and astrology. She is still writing: a memoir is among her current projects. Since 1984 she has been married to Marc Rosen, a leader in the field of cosmetics packaging, an author and Professor at Pratt Institute. The proud mother of three stunning and accomplished children, Lorenzo Lamas, Carole Holmes, and Stephen Schaum, of seven grandchildren, and of two great-grandchildren, Arlene Dahl is a multi-talented career woman who honors us with her appearance at this year's Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.

BEVERLY D’ANGELO

Intriguing, inspiring, never less than interesting -- These adjectives describe the three decade career of Beverly D'Angelo. She was always an object of fascination and the one to watch...whatever the role. Hardly the shrinking violet type, Hollywood counted on her for her colorful personality, down-toearth demeanor and scene-stealing capabilities. Beverly Heather D'Angelo was born on November 15, 1951 in Columbus, Ohio, to musicians Priscilla Ruth (Smith), a violinist, and Eugene "Gene" D'Angelo, bass player turned broadcasting executive. Her grandfather, Howard Dwight Smith, was the architect who designed the Ohio ("Horseshoe") Stadium at Ohio State Univ. As a teen, Beverly studied art at The American school in Florence, Italy. Initially drawn to commercial art, Beverly worked in animation at Hanna-Barbera before moving to Canada to pursue a singing career. She worked as a session vocalist and sang anyplace she could ) from coffeehouses to topless bars. Ronnie Hawkins invited her to join his band in 1971. She left the Hawkins to tour Canada with a theatre company, performing in a rock musical of Hamlet. Colleen Dewhurst caught a performance and saw promise in both Beverly and the show, and took it to Broadway, where Beverly made her starring debut as Ophelia. While the show itself was short-lived, Beverly attracted fine notices. After this point, she seldom returned to the stage but did star alongside Ed Harris in the 1995 off-Broadway production of Sam Shepard's "Simpatico", earning her a Theatre World Award. Woody Allen secured a screen actors guild card for Beverly with a small scene in Annie Hall, followed quickly by co-starring roles in TV and film including Every Which Way But Loose. She then starred in Milos Forman’s film musical Hair. But Beverly considered her turn as Patsy Cline in Coal Miner's Daughter as her real acting debut. Both she and Oscar winner Sissy Spacek (as Loretta Lynn) supplied their own vocals. Playing everything from tough-as-nails party girls and barflies, to rich prim widows and depressed, alcoholic moms, She routinely rose above her material. A gallery of offbeat characters came her way in a number of hit-or-miss features: Paternity, Finders Keepers, Big Trouble, Maid to Order, High Spirits, Cold

Front, Daddy's Dyin'... Who's Got the Will?, The Pope Must Diet, Man Trouble, Lightning Jack, and Sugar Town. She also sang in a few of these films and continued to supply both voice and original material for various soundtracks in which she didn't appear onscreen. Beverly is forever linked to Chevy Chase as the beleaguered wife Ellen Griswold in the National Lampoon's Vacation franchise spaning 1983 through 2015. Her recurring role as singing waitress Lurleen Lumpkin on The Simpsons is one of her personal highlights. More dramatic roles came with Neil Jordan’s The Miracle and American History X. She was a favorite of director John Schlesinger with whom she worked four times, including the Florida based comedy Honky Tonk Freeway, Eye for an Eye, and Pacific Heights. On TV, Beverly scored well as matricide victim Kitty Menendez in Menendez: A Killing in Beverly Hills and earned an Emmy-nomination (and arguably gave the best performance) as Stella Kowalski TV presentation of A Streetcar Named Desire. Other TV mini-movies included Sweet Temptation and Judgment Day: The John List Story, playing Robert Blake's devout wife. On primetime she has been on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as a defense attorney, and a seven year stint on Entourage for HBO. Beverly had a recurring role on CBS’ Mom and will be seen in Shooter, series. Next year has the release of Wakefield, starring Bryan Cranston and Jennifer Garner. (And yes, I play Jennifer Garner's mother and Bryan's nemesis.) In 2017 Beverly will be seen in the thriller Under The Bed. Since giving birth to twins with Al Pacino at age 49, Beverly's career has shifted to honor first her focus and commitment as a single parent to their children Anton and Olivia. Beverly has said, It’s ironic that I have spent so much time on screen playing mothers, but having children of my own has taught me more about love than any research I could have done! She has made use of her vocal talents performing at L.A. nightclubs and with her jazz band Blue Martini as well as contributing to various film soundtracks. She still lights up the screen as a brash professional or somebody's colorful mom; whatever time she has on screen, whether major or minor, it is always welcomed and never, ever less than...interesting.

MARTIN LANDAU

Oscar-winning character actor Martin Landau was born on June 20, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York. At age 17, he was hired by the New York Daily News as a staff cartoonist and illustrator. Over five years, he served as the illustrator for Billy Rose's "Pitching Horseshoes" column. He also worked for cartoonist Gus Edson on "The Gumps" comic strip. Landau's wanted to act, and in 1951, he made his stage debut in "Detective Story" in Peaks Island, Maine. He made his offBroadway debut that year in "First Love". Landau was one of 2000 applicants who auditioned for Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio in 1955 - only he and Steve McQueen were accepted. He acted during the 1950s in the TV anthologies Playhouse 90, Studio One in Hollywood, The Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse, Kraft Theatre, Goodyear Playhouse and Omnibus. He began making a name for himself after replacing star Franchot Tone in the 1956 off-Broadway revival of Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya", a production that put off-Broadway on the theatrical map. In 1957, he made his Broadway debut in the play "Middle of the Night". As part of the touring company with Edward G. Robinson, he made it to the West Coast. He made his movie debut in Pork Chop Hill (1959) followed by the heavy in Hitchcock's classic thriller North by Northwest (1959), while sadistically stepping on the fingers of Cary Grant, who was holding on for dear life to Mount Rushmore. He appeared in Cleopatra (1963), the most expensive film ever made up to that time, which nearly scuttled 20th Century-Fox and engendered the Elizabeth TaylorRichard Burton scandal that overshadowed the film itself. Landau's memorable portrayal as Rufio instantly catapulted his popularity. In 1963, Landau played on two The Outer Limits episodes, "The Bellero Shield" and "The Man Who Was Never Born". He was Gene Roddenberry's first choice to play Mr. Spock on Star Trek but the role went to Leonard Nimoy, who later replaced Landau on Mission: Impossible, the show that really made Landau famous. He originally was not meant to be a

regular on the series, which co-starred his wife Barbara Bain. His character, Rollin Hand, was supposed to be occasional, but when the producers had problems with star Steven Hill, Landau was used to take up the slack, and he was made a regular. Landau received Emmy nominations as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for each of the three seasons he appeared. In 1968, he won the Golden Globe award as Best Male TV Star. Landau appeared in They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (1970), the sequel to the Oscar-winning In the Heat of the Night (1967). He starred in the TV movie Welcome Home, Johnny Bristol (1972) playing a P.O.W. returning from Vietnam. The following year, he shot a pilot for NBC for a proposed show, "Savage". Though it was directed by emerging wunderkind Steven Spielberg, NBC did not pick up the show. Landau and Bain moved to England to play the leading roles in the sci-fi series Space: 1999 (1975). Landau had a recurring role on the sitcom Buffalo Bill (1983), starring Dabney Coleman. On Broadway, he took over the title role in the revival of "Dracula". Finally, his career renaissance began when Francis Ford Coppola cast him in a critical supporting role in Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988), for which Landau was nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor. He won his second Golden Globe for the role. The next year, he received his second consecutive Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination as the adulterous husband in Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989). He played famed Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal in Max and Helen (1990). But then, as Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's biopic Ed Wood (1994) he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. The superb character actor, finally had been recognized with his profession's ultimate award. His performance, which also won him his third Golden Globe, garnered numerous awards in addition to the Oscar and Golden Globe, including top honors from the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics. Martin Landau was honored with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard.

bailee: Some people simply walk into this world smiling, as was the case for Bailee Madison, born on October 15th, 1999, in Fort Lauderdale. Even though Bailee spends most of her time in her residence in California or working on different projects all around the world, this Florida native still considers Fort Lauderdale home.

Bailee followed her older sister's —Kaitlin Riley, who is also an actress— footsteps at the tender age of two weeks, when she appeared in an Office Depot commercial. At five, she was cast in "Lonely Hearts". After acting alongside big names such as John Travolta and Salma Hayek, Bailee shot "Bridge To Terabithia" in New Zealand. She landed roles in "Saving Sarah Cain", "Phoebe In Wonderland" and "Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh", and guest starred on "House M.D.", "Cory In the House", "CSI: NY" and "Unfabulous".

In Australia, July 2009, Bailee landed her first lead role in Guillermo del Toro's horror-thriller "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark", with Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce. Del Toro, “Bailee came highly recommended by Natalie Portman", who said to him "If you want an actress in that role who can give and take, this is the girl." Portman would know: she played Bailee's mom in "Brothers". The LA Times wrote it was "one of the most natural and effective child performances in a long while", she received a Critics' Choice Award nomination. In Hawaii in 2010, Bailee was cast in the Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston comedy, "Just Go With It".

Director: Marina Person Brazil / 2015 / 85 min / DCP / Portuguese w/English sub-titles

It is 1984 and Brazil, whose politics are as mired then as they are now, is boiling with the buzz of corruption and dissention. That sub-plot plays behind the story of high school student Estela (nicknamed “Teca”). She has other worries on her mind…her boyfriend is a hot item with other girls, the other boy she likes just might be gay, her upcoming trip to California to visit her twenty-something uncle (who seems to be the only person who really gets her)…and she has her first period. The film is a nostalgic reflection of how difficult that time of life was for all of us, set against the framework of the acknowledgement of AIDS.

CALIFORNIA triumphs in its sweetness and the nearly indomitable spirit of its heroine. The soundtrack adds greatly to this flashback film with music by The Cure, David Bowie, New Order and a rediscovery of Kerouac’s On The Road. Teca’s coming-of-age moment symbolized more than just her time, but in many ways, the modern world as well.

Alan and Shirwan are brothers, Kurds and little people living in Iraq. Alan works at a teahouse and is head over feet in love with the proprietor’s daughter, Gona. She is of normal stature, and though Gona’s father likes Alan and treats him more than civilly, Alan assumes when he professes his desire to marry, Gona’s dad may not, initially, be receptive.

What transpires is…frankly…amazing and triggers an epic road movie with a touch of Easy Rider and Rocky, with you, me and the entire nebula cheering for our underdog.

SOUTHEAST PREMIERE E

Christian Vincent - France / 2015 / 98 min / DCP / French w/English sub-titles

Stuffy, abrupt, stern, all wrapped together with an anything but kind persona, Judge Xavier Racine is the one person both the defense and the prosecutor would rather avoid. Things for him aren’t so rosy either. His wife and him recently divorced and his other friendships are either non-existent or on the rocks.

On this particular day, Racine is presiding over a trial in which a twenty-something father has been charged with the murder of his baby daughter. The trial will not be easy for anyone. Complicating this stew is a juror that Racine appears to have had a past relationship. She, Ditte Lorensen-Coteret, and Racine exhibit no obvious signs to the other officers of the Court of their familiarity…and one would think perhaps the judge would have the juror dismissed to avoid any potential snarl of impropriety. A diverse palate of storylines play out and merge.

The film is a very interesting portrayal of French jurisprudence that most will find quite informative, not to mention the inherent dynamics of the story. What we enjoy most is seeing our very favorite French actor, Fabrice Luchini, paint his magic on the screen. FLIFF audiences will remember Luchini from twenty or so films we have presented, including GEMMA BOVARY, BICYCLING WITH MOLIERE, THE WOMEN ON THE 6TH FLOOR, POTICHE, THE GIRL FROM MONACO, RIEN SUR ROBERT, and BEAUMARCHAIS THE SCOUNDREL. For his performance as Racine, Luchini won Best Actor at the 2015 Venice Film Festival. The Court will rise!

Edgy, erotic and richly evocative, this historical thriller from Attila Szasz, the Hungarian director is worth seeing if atmospherics and visual splendour are high on your priority list. Based on a horrific true story that occurred a century ago, Szasz’s throwback opens with the grisly discovery of a corpse stuffed into a basket found floating in the Danube before revealing the how and why. A compelling if somewhat slender portrait of jealousy, betrayal and survival instincts unravels as we journey into the life of Elza Magnas, a celebrated, self-absorbed courtesan whose nasty behaviour complicates her relationships with a heartless wealthy client, her longtime housekeeper with whom she has a love-hate relationship, and her young and naive new maid. – courtesy of michael D. reid, film critic, Victoria times colonist

Through a series of unfortunate events, the deal snowballs out of his control putting his and his wife, Divya’s lives in danger. To fix everything he involves his begrudging wife in a desperate white collar crime which entangles completely innocent strangers in it, leading to an end neither could imagine.

"Marie is dangerous," Antoine warns. It hasn't stopped Siméon from dropping everything, or, more precisely, letting go the little that he had, to secretly follow her. Oscar, his roommate, a musician with sleepwalking tendencies, and Antoine, a novelist lacking inspiration, quickly follow in his footsteps. Here they all are at the end of the Earth, which is to say, on an island. It's quite possible that these four are linked by something beyond their comprehension. Perhaps simply a taste for adventure.

Oliver Laxe Morocco / 2016 / 96 min / DCP / Arabic w/English subtitles

A “religious western” is how Moroccan-based Spanish director Oliver Laxe describes his second film, Mimosas, winner of the top prize at Cannes’ Critics’ Week. If you like films filled with excitement and adventure, this is your ticket! There’s spiritualism from the opening scenes: deep in the Moroccan mountains, a group of nomadic travelers are being led to the ancient city of Sijilmasa by their wizened old sheik, a dying man who wants to be buried in his home town. Crossing the Atlas is treacherous, and some in the caravan object, but faith in their leader among the rest carries them through.

Sponsored by

The film cuts to what seems like another world – a bustling city, where Shakib extolls a Quranic tale of the devil in the garden of Eden. He’s presented as a religious charlatan, and even gets one of the biblical names wrong. But his elders believe him to have baraka, a kind of divine insight, and send him off on a mission to assist the nomads in Marilynn Berry their trip across the Atlas Mountains to safety. When he arrives, however, he finds the sheik dead, with two rogues in the group, Ahmed and Saïd, having pledged to take him alone to Sijilmasa. Once they’ve left the group, they first plan to leave the Sheik to drift on the back of a donkey and head home, but when Shakib joins them, they find themselves driven to complete the quest – one for which Shakib has a divine essence.

Chile, 1929, the Atacama Desert, Pampa-Terminal. Hirondelle’s heart doesn’t just beat for music, and for her widowed father who raised her since her mother passed away. A pianist in the town cinema, she lives by proxy to the rhythm of the used reels that lead her far from her mining village devastated by poverty and Ibanez’s repressive presidency. Her small town, once a land of hope and exile, has a disparate mix of immigrants come in search of a better world, a new Babel in which languages mix to the sound of local fanfare. And then one day, naturally, a handsome trumpeter comes knocking on the door to Hirondelle’s heart. She barely has the time to abandon herself to her passion when history catches up with her, and comes to put a tragic end to this unduly fleeting happiness. Marie Gillain - the award winning and 4 time César nominated best actress, stars in this magnificent epic love story with great poetic scenes set in a mining town in the beautiful Atacama Desert in Chile. Epic and romantic…the impossible love story of the daughter of an anarchist and a musician during the dictatorship in the 1920ies.

Antoine and Laurent, old friends, spend their vacation in Corsica with their respective daughters: seventeen-year-old Louna and eighteen-year-old Marie. One evening at the beach, Louna seduces Laurent. Louna is in love, but for Laurent it was nothing more than a momentary distraction. Without revealing her lover's name, Louna confides in her father, who tries by any means to discover who his daughter's lover is. How long will the secret be able to be kept hidden?

Ok, I know, I know…sounds a bit too perverted. However, the dads, Vincent Cassel and Francois Cluzet handle the dilemma expertly…so if you can be a bit française for the evening, you will survive. That is not to say it won’t make you (especially the dads) feel a bit off…but first and foremost, it is a comedy. So venture in at your own discretion.

Years ago Zayane worked for the couple in her homeland. Since then, the couple relocated (following the French Algerian conflict) to France. Zayane was the housekeeper for the couple but her role encompassed much more than that. She assisted the photography apprentice to M. Chevalier.

Now with the aid of her neighbor, Amel, she travels a couple hours drive to Mde Chevalier (who she hasn’t seen in fifty years) to pick up a box of mementos (perhaps) M. Chevalier had marked with her name. Meanwhile, the siblings gather at Zayane’s apartment unaware of any reason why their mother was not at home.

This wonderful film is filled with humor, some dark, some visual, some cutting. The film is stuffed with surprise which is a joy as the story unwraps.

Saturday, November 12, 4:30, Savor Cinema

Julian Jarrod UK / 2015 / 97 min / English

On V.E. Day in 1945, as peace extends across Europe, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret are allowed out to join the celebrations. It is a night full of excitement, danger and the first flutters of romance. Based upon a true story (at least the part where Princesses go out to mingle with the common rabble on this historic night).

“Why have a ballroom with no balls?” trilled Princess Anna in Disney’s 2013 smash “Frozen,” voicing the social (and perhaps sexual) yearnings of any number of repressed, restless princesses in the fairy-tale universe — as well as, if the delightful “A Royal Night Out” is to be believed, the young Queen Elizabeth II herself. Imagining the alternately raucous and romantic exploits of the future English monarch and her sister Margaret as they are let loose upon London for one wild night of Victory in Europe celebrations, Julian Jarrold’s brightly performed exercise in speculative history scores as a frothier, more feminine bookend to “The King’s Speech” — though it’s no less engaging or accomplished.

Performed by an outstanding acting duo, the always remarkable Olivier Gourmet, and luminous revelation of the film Georgia Scalliett, this incandescent portrait of a free and modern woman, but at the same time imprisoned in her past love, magnified by Yves Angelo's lush photography, goes way beyond its WWI background, to focus on another war, the one of the feelings, less bloody but at least as destructive.

Ela Thier, USA / 2016 / 95 min / DCP / English

Shaina is a historian who lives 600 years in the future. Humans, at this point, have cleaned up the planet. War, poverty, pollution, greed, exploitation, depression, loneliness - these are things that she’s read about in history books. And while she studied this dark period of history, in which money was viewed as more precious than people, she has never, in the flesh, seen humans hurt other humans. Until now. While visiting a group of physicists who experiment with time travel, Shaina is accidentally left stranded in the year 2015. Here she involves herself with a group of friends who are as lovable as they are flawed. As the harsh realities of their lives unfold, she learns what no history book could have taught her. Old habits, however, are hard to break, and Shaina can’t help but assume that everyone around her is honest, generous, and caring, as she works to recruit the help that she needs to get back home. While most futuristic films depict a dystopia that is even colder and more mechanical than our own, this film takes a bold departure from the sci-fi genre by exploring the possibility of a future in which caring and compassion govern our societies. What if the future of humanity and the planet turns out exactly as we would want it to be?

Far’Hook is a 20-year-old rapper. Following a violent dispute with a rival, he’s forced to leave Paris for a while. His producer, Bilal, suggests that Far’Hook acts as driver for Bilal’s father, Serge, on a tour of French ports, following in the footsteps of the classic painter Joseph Vernet.

Despite the age gap and culture clash, an unlikely friendship forms between this talented rapper and a bricklayer from the north of France during a road trip that concludes in Marseille for a final concert, one of reconciliation.

When I first began watching the film, I thought it wasn’t for me. Not into Rap… But as I continued screening, I found the story to be sweet, quite amusing and a beautiful trek across the South of France. Gerard Depardieu gives one of his best performances in this small, engaging film.

TWO LOTTERY TICKETS DOUĂ LOZURI UNITED STATES PREMIERE F

Paul Negoescu, Romania / 2016 / 86 min / Romanian w/English sub-titles

Two Lottery Tickets stars three noted Romanian actors as a trio of down-on-their-luck pals who lose their winning lottery ticket, which sends them on an epic search to retrieve it. But the acting threesome doesn’t just star but also commissioned and produced the feature through their acting school, with their students filling out the large roster of supporting roles.

Mustachioed Dinel is a car mechanic in a small town not far from Bucharest who hopes to make enough money to convince his wife to come back to Romania from Italy, where it seems she might be getting rather cozy with a local macho. Dinel drinks to forget his troubles at the local watering hole with the two only other men present, his friends Vasile, or Sile for short, a gambling addict with a wild beard, and the recently shaved Pompiliu, perhaps the most cautious of the three. Due to the hazardous combination of alcohol and self-pity, they end up buying a lottery ticket and coming up with a series of lucky numbers, hoping it’ll end all their troubles.

Two Lottery Tickets not only works but is an actual crowd-pleaser. There are several set-pieces that are executed with a flair for not only comedic timing but also mise-en-scene, such as when the three men go from door to door in the nondescript apartment building where the fanny pack was stolen, trying to find out whether the inhabitants might have either noticed anything in particular or whether the thieves might even be living in the same building. Negoescu expertly using the space around the central staircase to elicit further chuckles — “Have we been here already?” — Drug dealers, prostitutes, gullible children and even a clairvoyant are hiding behind all those identical doors, with the men having completed half an odyssey before they even get into their car to start looking elsewhere.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!

FLORIDA PREMIERE Ophir Lobel F Israel / 2015 / 94 min / Hebrew w/English subtitles

“What Could Possibly Go Wrong” is a fast paced, zany, comedy where two down-andout guys, Ilan Kovatch and Lior Duvdevani, discover that they could go from being flat broke to being millionaires overnight. What they don't consider is that keeping the million might take them on a stormy odyssey during which they encounter weird people who are ready to do anything to get their hands on the money.

The writers are also comedians who appear in the film and come from standup comedy and the stage.

“What Could Possibly Go Wrong” brings a new genre to Israeli cinema – a fast-paced nonsense comedy offering the perfect blend of no-holds-barred humor with barbed statements about Israeli society, the pursuit of money, the price of loyalty and the meaning of friendship in a material world.

The story of Witness to Innocence, the largest organization of death row exonerees in the country. These innocent men and women, some having spent decades on death row for murders they didn't commit, come together once a year to share their thoughts and feelings, fears and dreams with the only people who really understand what they experienced.

Their stories are heartbreaking, shocking and anger-provoking. The exonerees empower each other, speaking out about a broken justice system that makes mistakes and compels them to be warriors against the death penalty. Meet 16 exonerees, a diverse group brought together by a common experience, a unique family to whom no one chooses to belong. They bare their souls, forever changed by the degradation they suffered. Like Anthony Ray Hinton who spent 30 years on death row, released only six months before the filming. And Debra Milke who spent 22 years on death row, joining the others at her first Gathering. These exonerees are passionate about telling their stories. They want the system changed so a competent defense doesn't depend on money and racial bias is eliminated. They want dishonest prosecutors and police held accountable. They want compensation for the years lost. They want their dignity restored. They know the risk of executing an innocent person is too high.

Matt Starr, USA / 2015 / 87 min / English

Born with brittle bone disease, surviving the early days of his life, and overcoming the realities of foster care, elevenyear old JJ House unites a community while achieving his dream to direct a musical. Jarrel Jatice (JJ) Michael House captures the hearts of a local theatrical production company after having taken the stage. With support of MTVarts, JJ assembles a production crew of youth who are mentored by experienced adults in order to learn the ropes of putting on a show. Through the highs and lows, JJ’s team inspires a community, and he gains a family. Also supporting JJ’s dream are New York Theatrical Publisher Theatrical Rights Worldwide as well as co-writers, lyricists, and composers Mark Freidman and Janet Yates-Vogt of the hit children’s musical, How I Became a Pirate. Throughout the story, JJ’s reasons for pursing his dream is to give others hope that they can achieve their dreams, too. However, his determination of becoming a director conflicts with his desire to just be an eleven-year- old boy. Some of these moments lead to conflict with his cast, crew of children, the adult mentors, and his family.

DOCUMENTARY

FLORIDA PREMIERE F

Jerry Rothwell & Reuben Atlas UK / 2016 / 85 min / English

In the waning days of the 20th century, the market for high priced often extremely rare wines skyrocketed. Outside of a few auctioneers who aggressively moved product and big time players and money-makers looking to grab and taste alcoholic history, few people were credited with the market reaching new heights as much as Rudy Kurniawan. An unassuming, nerdy looking fellow, Rudy was the toast of the town among the New York and Los Angeles elite. By all accounts a lovable, gregarious, and generous man with a gifted palate and seemingly bottomless resources, Rudy hobnobbed with investment bankers, movie producers, and wine snobs with equal aplomb. When his wine collections would go up for sale at auction, Rudy could fetch tens of millions in a single go. Only one problem: Rudy’s wine was counterfeit and no one knows how he was able to pull off the con as long as he did.

An elaborate oral history of a bizarre, yet believable criminal endeavor, Sour Grapes provides necessary cultural and economic context for why a crime of privilege like the one committed by Kurniawan should matter to everyone, not just one-percenters. Directors Jerry Rothwell (How to Change the World) and Reuben Atlas (Brothers Hypnotic) team up to weave a well-researched and engaging look at an elaborate, sometimes deeply hilarious con. In the process, however, they also show how greed can breed complacency among those seeking to peripherally profit from another person’s criminal endeavors.

WORLD CINEMA DOCUMENTARY

Sunday, Nov 13 4:30pm Savor Cinema After the film, Mr Dvir and Mr Lowenstein will lead a Q&A following will be israeli day reception

Boaz Dvir Israel-USA-Israel-Panama-Czech Republic / 2015 / 60 min / English

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Boaz Dvir, A Wing and a Prayer tells the story of World War II aviators who risked their lives and U.S. citizenships in 1948 to prevent what they viewed as a second Holocaust.

The film features on-camera interviews with the operation’s key members (some of whom have since died), including an exclusive interview with their leader, the Al Schwimmer. A U.S. Air Transport Command veteran, Schwimmer masterminded a feat so clandestine and complex, it remains mostly untold to this day. His recruits thought they were done fighting after WWII. Yet he convinced them to put everything on the line to save Palestine’s 600,000 Jews.

A co-production among Dvir Productions, South Florida PBS and American Public Television, the film has screened in such prestigious venues as the American Jewish Historical Society in New York, Columbia University’s Global Center in Paris, and Syracuse, Penn State and Stockton universities.

The Miami Herald says A Wing and a Prayer “tells the story of how a few idealists effected change despite great obstacles,” and 20th Century Aviation Magazine says, “Boaz Dvir succeeds in bringing an obscure but signal period of history out of the shadows.”

Writer-Producer-Editor: Boaz Dvir / Narrator: William Baldwin / Associate Producer: Steve Whitney / Cinematographers: Boaz Dvir and Tim Sorel / Composer: Boaz Dvir and Bob Cubbage / Featuring: Al Schwimmer, Ralph Lowenstein, Harold Livingston, Lou Lenart, Sam Lewis, Eddie Styrak / Contact: Boaz Dvir, bdvir@yahoo.com

The Director: An award-winning filmmaker, Boaz Dvir directed Jessie’s Dad, which captures an uneducated truck driver’s transformation into a child-protection activist; and Discovering Gloria, which recounts the emergence of an average inner-city schoolteacher into a trailblazing innovator. A Penn State assistant professor, Dvir is in post-production on Cojot, which tells the story of a Holocaust survivor who takes history in his own hands. Dvir also taught at the University of Florida.

Lifetime and Investigation Discovery have incorporated footage from Dvir’s documentaries, which have received coverage by the Huffington Post, MSNBC, New York Post, Miami Herald, and Haaretz.

LEADERS LEADING THE WAY

On behalf of Earl Bosworth with Broward Cultural Division, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners and Broward Cultural Council, I would like to express our appreciation for the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and Savor Cinema. This season marks 30 years of operation for the Broward County Film Society Inc. Founded in 1986 through an effort by the Chamber of Commerce, The Greater Fort Lauderdale Film Festival began as a modest 7 day event - with 17 films. Now through the strength and dedication of your members, supporters, sponsors and community investors, you have grown into one of the leading film festivals in the country and an un-paralleled asset to our diverse and vibrant community. In 2001 you expanded your outreach in South Florida with programming taken to Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Amelia Island, Saint Augustine, Daytona Beach and by 2010 to Grand Bahama Island. We recognize that through the years the film society has continued to garner accolades including, in 1999 The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival being recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "Longest Film Festival in the World" - a distinction it still enjoys to this day with a 21-day Broward-based event that in recent years has received more than 50,000 people at times.

This year FLIFF will reel out more than 200 films from around the globe. Parties and gatherings will take place throughout Broward, aboard yachts, on the beach and at both Savor Cinema theater in Fort Lauderdale and Cinema Paradiso-Hollywood. Broward Cultural Council is committed to emerging arts and culture organizations and artists, as we believe that they are the seeds and roots of the creative industries within any community. And we are dedicated to film as a model for an international communication platform that transcends language, culture, geography and religion, just to name a few. In summers 2015 and 2016 we had the honor of co-hosting minifilm festivals featuring local filmmakers. This collaboration was beneficial and well-attended by both local creators and the community, sending us into the season with much enthusiasm. As a leader in the arts community, the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival is part of this growth and we thank you and honor our partnership. Sincerely, Tracy m. roloff Chair, Broward County Cultural Council
