Staying within the boundaries of conventional thinking has never been my strongest suit. Instead, I prefer to navigate for myself. Whether its open terrain or a single moment, I love the adventure and the discoveries that come from forging a different path. I hope youll approach our 2013 Sundance Film Festival in this same spirit. As always, our intent is to provide a strong platform for a diverse group of ercely independent lms. In doing so, we also hope to provide audiences with an abundance of choice. Rather than giving you clear directions, what we offer is a program for you to navigate and an experience for yourselves.
Robert Redford President and Founder Sundance Institute
Among the many things I love about the Sundance Film Festival is its increasing reection of the global community. The stories and characters in this years lms are as diverse as ever, showing us what life is like for a broad range of people in very different places and situations. But just as important as whats onscreen is whats behind it. Its encouraging to see this years lms hail from a remarkable 32 countries and from lmmakers representing the full spectrum of experiencewell-known lmmakers are screening their work alongside more than 50 rst-time lmmakers, and for the rst time ever, half of the lmmakers in our U.S. Dramatic Competition are female. Sundance Institute believes that independent lm is at its best when it mirrors and engages the many communities in our world. Thats why we work throughout the year to support diversity in lmmaking across all of our programs. When those lms complete production, we support our lmmakers in delivering them to audiences both near and far. With all of this in mind, I encourage you to be bold in your lm selections. Think of each lm as a trip to somewhere you wouldnt normally visit or a conversation with someone you may not otherwise meet. More than ever, independent lm is an adventure. Lets start exploring.

Meeting the new crop of lmmakers each year is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. In New York and Los Angeles, we hold lmmaker orientations to share a few insider secrets about how to best navigate the impending Festival. It may seem obvious, but year after year the most helpful tip we offer is also the simplest: If you nd yourself stressed out about your lm or overwhelmed by the prospect of debuting to eager Sundance audiences, the one surere way to put it all into perspective is to see a lm. And if you really want to level your perspective, see a documentary. This always gets a laugh, but the point resonates. We are all here for the lmsfor the love of lms, and for the wonder of experiencing them together. For those of you experiencing the Festival for the rst time, Id take it one step further. If you nd yourself overwhelmed by the wonderful lms onscreen (and I hope you do), do yourself a favor and engage with independent lm culture in another way. Check out the panels, Cinema Caf, concerts and music events, lmmaker interviews and other content on sundance.org, and of course New Frontier, where you can literally immerse yourself in the future of storytelling. Along with our founder, board, staff, and volunteers, I am proud of the way the Sundance Film Festival has evolved. What originated in the 1980s as a small annual gathering for a burgeoning movement has become a fully realized cultural event that celebrates the artists, artistry, and community of independent lm. You are at the center of this, and it is your engagement with the program that makes the Festival the dynamic event that it is. This year I urge you to participate once again to the fullest extent possible. See the lms, of course. Talk to each other about the lms youve seen and those still on your list. Most importantly, talk to the lmmakers, whom youll surely encounter during a Q&A or while on a shuttle. And when you leave the mountain, track the lms you see here. Become an advocate for the power of the moving image to change the world. Share your Sundance stories with anyone who will listen because what we see and experience during these 10 days will inform the year ahead and become part of our collective histories.

As governor, I hope you enjoy your time in Utah. Park City offers a wide variety of exciting activities, from the lms themselves to the magnicent scenery and recreation opportunities that surround the distinctive venues. I also urge you to experience some of our other outstanding destinationsfrom downtown Salt Lake City, to the snow-capped mountains and ski resorts, to the many visually stunning state and national parks and recreation areas. Whether its winter or summer, Utah is the perfect destination for a vacation or, perhaps, a more permanent location for business. With its crisp mountain air, friendly people, and easy, affordable lifestyle, our state has become one of Americas best places for business and careers according to Forbes magazine, Pollina, Gallup, and other forward-thinking institutions. As part of a tight-knit community, our economic-development partners work efciently and effectively to help companies expand in the state. So whether youre considering a vacation spot or an opportunity to start, relocate, or expand a business, Utah is the place to do it!

Best wishes for a Life Elevated experience here in Utah. Sincerely, GarY R. Herbert Governor
Welcome to the 2013 Sundance Film Festival! For the past 11 years, it has been my great honor to welcome all of you to both the Festival and the Park City community. As someone who has witnessed this event since its inception, I can say without hesitation that this has become the premier gathering in a community that hosts events throughout the year. The annual Sundance Film Festival is the largest collaboration that the city undertakes, and we take pride in our partnership with Sundance Institute in ensuring that it is always successful and one of the highlights of our year. If possible, I hope you will take in the rest of what Park City has to offer. This is the best week of the year to get in some skiingno lines or crowds on the mountains. We also have world-class restaurants and great shopping. Please take the bus! Several years ago we were dubbed No-Park City, and this is still apt. Dozens of extra bus routes are made available to you during the lm festival, so please take advantage of them. Park City and the surrounding area continue to provide great locations for all aspects of the lm industry. A large range of lms, television shows, and commercials are made here each year. The local population loves to support these activities just as they enjoy being part of the Sundance Film Festival. We continue to be a proud partner of the Sundance Film Festival and hope you enjoy this years events. All my best,
Dana Williams Mayor

Afternoon Delight
Rachel is a quick-witted and lovable, yet tightly coiled, thirtysomething steeped in the creative class of Los Angeless bohemian, affluent Silver Lake neighborhood. Everything looks just rightchic modernist home, successful husband, adorable child, and a hipster wardrobe. So why is she going out of her gourd with ennui? Plagued by purposelessness, Rachel visits a strip club to spice up her marriage and ends up meeting McKenna, a stripper whom she becomes obsessed with saving. She decides to adopt McKenna as her live-in nanny, and this bold move unleashes unimagined and colorful waves of change into her life and community. It becomes clear that Rachel is feverishly, desperately trying to save her own sense of who she is. In a perfect storm of hilarious writing, performance, and direction, first-timer Jill Soloway pinpoints the ambivalence of privileged, educated women seduced by an idealized vision of marriage and motherhood, yet deadened by the stultifying realities of preschool auctions, lackluster sex lives, and careers that have gone kaput. Afternoon Delight compassionately revels in the existential trials of a Peter Pan generation battling too many choices, resisting adulthood, and distractedly tapping their iPhones instead of tuning in to what matters.

Bob Muldoon and Ruth Guthrie, an impassioned young outlaw couple on an extended crime spree, are finally apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in the Texas hills.

David LowerY
David Lowery is a filmmaker from Texas. Parts and Labor Films info@partslaborfilm.com (718) 599-5244
The barren landscapes of David Lowerys poetic feature evoke the mythology of westerns and saturate the dramatic space with fatalism and an aching sense of loss. Aided by powerfully restrained performances by Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, and Ben Foster, Lowery incorporates an unnerving tension into the film, teetering it at the edge of violence. The beautiful, irreconcilable dilemma of the story is that Ruth compelled by the responsibilities of motherhood and her evolving relationship with the deputy she shotremains haunted by her intense feelings for Bob. Each of them longs for some form of peace. Ironically, its Bob, the unrepentant criminal trapped in the romantic image of a bygone past, who is driven by an almost righteous sense of clarity. Following in the footsteps of Badlands and Bonnie and Clyde, Lowerys humanism transcends the genre. J.N.

Austenland
Janes life-size paper doll of Mr. Darcy and her I Love Darcy tote may be tattered, but even in her thirties, she hasnt grown out of her obsession with all things Jane Austen. Careworn by love, she saves enough to fulfill her dream of stepping into Austens world and heads to Austenland for an immersive vacation to eschew all things modern. And it couldnt be more perfect. Theres an imposing manor with verdant grounds for afternoon promenades, rosy-faced servants, trusty steeds for hunting expeditions, gilded drawing rooms for evenings spent in polite conversation, and, yes, gallant young suitors. Unfortunately, due to limited funds, shes relegated to lesser quarters and drearier costumes than fellow bachelorette guests, but her cares melt away as she catches the eye of a young footman, and shes swept into a romantic adventure she could never have imagined. Will fantasy and reality merge for Jane? A wickedly funny, irreverent comedy, featuring a malapropism-peppered performance by Jennifer Coolidge and an impeccable cast of archetypal characters, Austenland hits all the right notes of the Regency era and our curious infatuation with it.

David has it all figured out. His planmore a Steinbeckian dreamis to spend his summer working on an apple farm in Oregon with his best friend, Jennifer. When she bails out on him, David is left to dirty his hands alone, watched over by Hobbs, the old farm owner and the first in a series of questionable mentors he encounters. First theres Curly, the friendly forklift operator with a unique hobby, and then Jon, the born-again rock hound who helps David in a time of need. This first film adaptation of David Sedariss work tells the story of a prideful young man and whats left of him after all he believes is chipped away piece by piece. With such beloved source material come great advantages and immense pressure. Writer/director Kyle Patrick Alvarez proves more than up to the challenge as he delivers a finely wrought story that remains true to both the authors voice and his own. Jonathan Groff perfectly embodies David and imbues him with abundant wit that masks the uncertainty that he hides. C.O.G. is a funny and poignant portrait of a lost soul searching for himself among the amusing characters in lifes rich pageant. T.G.

Concussion
Abby is a fortysomething, wealthy, married, lesbian housewife who after getting smacked in the head by her sons baseballwalks around every corner of her suburban life to confront a mounting desire for something else. She takes on a new project and purchases a pied-terre in Manhattan. Walking around the city streets reminds Abby what it feels like to be sexy, and her pent-up libido shakes off its inhibitions. Her desire is not a take-home item for the minivan ride back home, so Abby inaugurates a double life that draws her deeply into a world of prostitution for women. In an auspicious debut effort, director Stacie Passon draws out a pitch-perfect performance from her lead actor, Robin Weigert, as a sexy, shut-down family woman stretching to bloom again. Palpably sensual and deliciously contained, Concussion is a keen observation of the complicated contours of midlife crisis. S.F.

Francesca Gregorini
Raised in Rome, the English countryside, and Los Angeles, writer/director Francesca Gregorini brings a worldly and passionate sensibility to her filmmaking. Her character-driven films are visceral, darkly humorous, and stylistically bold and have touches of the magical and surreal. A Brown University graduate with a major in theatre arts, Gregorini sold scripts to both HBO and Paramount Pictures before cohelming her directorial debut, Tanner Hall, with Tatiana von Furstenberg. The film was an official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009. Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes is Gregorinis first solo directing effort. Gray, Krauss, Stratford Des Rochers LLP gray@gksd-law.com (212) 966-6700
Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes is a hyperstylized and often darkly humorous film that vacillates between surrealism and realism while it incorporates suspenseful drama. Writer/director Francesca Gregorinis tightly constructed script fuses pain with poetry and explores the complexity of being complicit in the lives of our loved ones. In a breakout performance, Kaya Scodelario is the heart of the film as Emanuel, who must take a courageous journey to enter her dream and help extract Linda from hers. K.Y.

Fruitvale
Oscar Grant was a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who loved his friends, was generous to strangers, and had a hard time telling the truth to the mother of his beautiful daughter. He was scared and courageous and charming and raw, and as human as the community he was part of. That community paid attention to him, shouted on his behalf, and filmed him with their cell phones when BART officers, who were strong, intimidated, and acting in the way they thought they were supposed to behave around people like Oscar, shot him in cold blood at the Fruitvale subway stop on New Years Day in 2009. Director Ryan Coogler makes an extraordinary directorial debut with this soulful account of the real-life event that horrified the nation. Featuring radiant performances by Melonie Diaz and Michael B. Jordan as Grant, a young man whose eyes were an open window into his soul, Fruitvale offers a barometer reading on the state of humanity in American society today. S.F.

Kill Your Darlings

While he is attending Columbia University in 1944, the young Allen Ginsbergs life is turned upside down when he sets eyes on Lucien Carr, an impossibly cool and boyishly handsome classmate. Carr opens Ginsberg up to a bohemian world and introduces him to William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Repelled by rules and conformity in both life and literature, the four agree to tear down tradition and make something new, ultimately formulating the tenets of and giving birth to what became the Beat movement. On the outside, looking in, is David Kammerer, a man in his thirties desperately in love with Carr. When Kammerer is found dead, and Kerouac, Burroughs, and Carr are arrested in conjunction with the murder, the nascent artists lives change forever. Daniel Radcliffe fearlessly takes on the role of the young Ginsberg on a journey of discoveryto find his sexuality and his voice as a writer. Cowriter/director John Krokidas takes on this less-explored early chapter of the Beats and captures the period with visual flair, kinetic energy, and imagination. Kill Your Darlings is the riveting true story of a crime, a friendship, and the nexus that spawned a cultural movement. K.Y.

The Lifeguard
Leigh, a whip-smart former valedictorian on the verge of 30, is living a seemingly perfect life in New York. When her work aspirations and love life suddenly come crashing down, she hightails it back to the cocoon of the Connecticut suburb where she grew up. Picking up right where her teen halcyon days left off, she moves into her old room with her parents, reunites with her bosom buddies who never left town, and steps back into her high school job as a condo-complex lifeguard. As she takes a transgressive journey back to adolescence, including entering into a forbidden affair, Leighs bold flirtation with disaster triggers a ripple effect all around her. Wry, sexy, entertaining, and bittersweet, The Lifeguard revels in the fantasy of reverting to a responsibility-free time and cleverly coaxes its characters into the realization that safety can sometimes be a trap. With her witty, emotionally persuasive script, first-time director Liz Garcia invents a delectable coming-of-age story for our times. C.L.

MaY in the Summer

May has it alla celebrated book, a sophisticated New York life, and a terrific fianc to match. But when she heads to Amman, Jordan, to arrange her wedding, she lands in a bedlam of family chaos she thought shed transcended long before. Her headstrong, born-again Christian mother so disapproves of her marrying a Muslim that she threatens to boycott the wedding.

The Spectacular Now

Sutter Keely lives in the now. Its a good place for him. A high school senior, charming and self-possessed, hes the life of the party, loves his job at a mens clothing store, and has no plans for the future. A budding alcoholic, hes never far from his supersized, whisky-fortified 7UP cup. But after being dumped by his girlfriend, Sutter gets drunk and wakes up on a lawn with Aimee Finicky hovering over him. Not a member of the cool crowd, shes different: the nice girl who reads science fiction and doesnt have a boyfriend. She does have dreams, while Sutter lives in a world of impressive self-delusion.

She is unknowingly drawn into the life cycle of a presence that permeates the microscopic world, moving to nematodes, plant life, livestock, and back again. Along the way, she finds another beinga familiar, who is equally consumed by the larger force. The two search urgently for a place of safety within each other as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of their wrecked lives.

After Tiller
Since the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas in 2009, only four doctors in the United States continue to perform third-trimester abortions. These physicians, all colleagues of Dr. Tiller, sacrifice their safety and personal lives in the name of their fierce, unwavering conviction to help women. But for some in the pro-life movement, these doctors are murderers who must be stopped. Offering audiences an unprecedented perspective, After Tiller is an intimate look into each of the four physicians private and professional struggles. Wrenching moments in the clinics, when they gently counsel distraught patients facing grievous losses, force us to step into the shoes of both practitioner and patient and confront the full complexity of each decision. Decades after Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, the issue remains one of the most volatile in our public sphere. After Tiller sensitively and artfully extricates the controversy from the ideological realm and humanizes those who have been demonized. C.L.

Blackfish
Many of us have experienced the excitement and awe of watching 8,000-pound orcas, or killer whales, soar out of the water and fly through the air at sea parks, as if in perfect harmony with their trainers. Yet, in our contemporary lore this mighty black-and-white mammal is like a two-faced Janusbeloved as a majestic, friendly giant yet infamous for its capacity to kill viciously. Blackfish unravels the complexities of this dichotomy, employing the story of notorious performing whale Tilikum, whounlike any orca in the wildhas taken the lives of several people while in captivity. So what exactly went wrong? Shocking, never-before-seen footage and riveting interviews with trainers and experts manifest the orcas extraordinary nature, the species cruel treatment in captivity over the last four decades, and the growing disillusionment of workers who were misled and endangered by the highly profitable sea-park industry. This emotionally wrenching, tautly structured story challenges us to consider our relationship to nature and reveals how little we humans have learned from these highly intelligent and enormously sentient fellow mammals.

The Supreme Courts Citizens United decision in 2010 lifted a centurylong ban on restricted corporate election spending, unleashing a new era of unbridled special-interest campaign finance.

Among a million outraged Wisconsinites, we meet individuals struggling with their Republican political loyalties as they decide whether to join the grassroots-fueled recall of Walker, a GOP rising star and Tea Party favorite. Meanwhile, on a national level, former Louisiana governor Buddy Roemer watches his Republican presidential campaign fizzle as he refuses, on principle, donations of more than a hundred dollars and gets outspent and drowned out by Super PACfunded opponents.

Now 80 years old and finally sober, Ushio is preparing a joint exhibit with Noriko, yet he still treats her as a de facto assistant. Ushios mixed-media sculptures and boxing paintings, infused with chaotic energy, have brought notorietybut rarely income. Meanwhile, Noriko, emerging from her husbands shadow, creates intimate comic-styled watercolor and ink drawings that tell the storya muted empowerment fantasyof their alter egos, Cutie and Bullie. Skillfully photographed and crafted, Cutie and the Boxer moves fluidly between past and present, employing a vrit aesthetic, archival footage, and beautifully animated sequences of Norikos drawings.

DirtY Wars
Its the dirty little secret of the War on Terror: all bets are off, and almost anything goes. We have fundamentally changed the rules of the game and the rules of engagement. Prior to 9/11, it was customary for America to sound a formal declaration of war on a given country before attacking. Today drone strikes, night raids, and U.S. governmentcondoned torture occur in hidden corners across the globe, generating unprecedented civilian casualties. Investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill traces the rise of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), the most secret and elite fighting force in U.S. history, exposing covert operations carried out by men who do not exist on paper and will never appear before Congress. No target is offlimits for the JSOC kill list, even if the person is a U.S. citizen. Director Richard Rowley takes us on a chilling ride with fearless whistle-blower Scahill. Dirty Wars is a battle cry for the soul and conscience of an America few of us know exists. D.C.

Gideons ArmY
Our lives no longer belong to us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately. Elie Wiesel
In 1963, the landmark Supreme Court decision Gideon v. Wainwright guaranteed all defendants facing imprisonment the right to a lawyer. Now, every year millions of Americans facing trial rely on fewer than 15,000 public defenders, and the countrys justice system hangs in the balance. Gideons Army confronts this crisis head-on, tracking a group of young southern public defenders hell-bent on protecting the sanctity of human liberty. Taut, visceral filmmaking plunges us into the unbelievably demanding lives of three fledgling public defenders in Georgia and Mississippi. Not only are they juggling hundreds of cases independently, but their offices dont have adequate resources, and their salaries barely cover personal expensesincluding six-figure law-school debts. As all three lawyers harness ingenuity, perseverance, and adrenaline to fight for their indigent clients, we wonder, How long can they keep working in a constant state of emergency? Will they find the moral support to sustain this higher calling? And if not, what happens to our democracy? C.L.

God Loves Uganda

A battle rages in East Africa, where crosses replace guns and shouts of prayer roar louder than missiles. American evangelical Christians have chosen Uganda, with Africas youngest and most vulnerable population, as their ground zero in a battle for the soul of a continent. American missionaries and religious leaders are working with African pastors in a radical campaign to eradicate sin through the most extreme measures. The stakes are nothing less than life and death. Filmmaker Roger Ross Williams exposes the missionary movement in Uganda as an outgrowth of Africas colonialist past and a twentyfirst century crusade to recreate a continent of people in the image and likeness of Americas most extreme fundamentalists. Williams captures vrit footage so shocking that viewers may be squirming in their seats. Masterfully crafted and astonishingly provocative, God Loves Uganda may be the most terrifying film of the year. D.C.

InequalitY for All

In lectures, books, and years of commentary, former labor secretary and current UC Berkeley Professor Robert Reich has argued passionately that widening income inequality poses one of the most severe threats to our economy and democracy. Filmmaker Jacob Kornbluth, inspired by Reichs book Aftershock, tackles this massive topic by effectively adapting Reich himself into documentary form. Asking how we got here and what happens if we dont act, Kornbluth and Reich dissect countless issuesamong them wage stagnation, consolidated wealth, manufacturing, financial instruments, capital markets, globalization, and election politicswith an uncanny ability to render complex principles digestible. In addition to interviews with other economists, politicians, and experts, Kornbluth documents the struggles of regular working people for whom the American dream is increasingly untenable. In this An Inconvenient Truth for the economy, Reich presents a compelling, intellectually rigorous narrative bolstered by abundant research and graphics. In upholding rational inquiry over ideological prisms, he encourages us (as he does his students) not to share his opinion, but to challenge our own assumptions. J.N.

Life According to Sam

Progeria is an extremely rare and fatal disease, exemplified by accelerated aging in the children who are afflicted by it. There is no treatment. There is no cure. Enter Doctors Leslie Gordon and Scott Berns. When their son, Sam, was diagnosed with progeria at age two, the prognosis was grimthe couple were simply told to enjoy the few years they had left with their only sonbut they werent willing to give up that easily. They spearheaded a campaign to save Sam and the other children in the world who share this devastating illness. In a little more than a decade, their extraordinary advances have led not only to identifying the gene that causes progeria and testing the first experimental drug to treat it but also to the amazing discovery that it is linked to the aging process in all of us. With Life According to Sam, directors Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine return to the Sundance Film Festival (War Dance won the Documentary Directing Award in 2007) with a deeply touching account of one familys courageous fight, reminding us to make the most of our lives in the time we are given.

MANHUNT
On May 2, 2011, Osama bin Laden, Americas public enemy number one, was killed by Navy SEALs in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The raid, a watershed moment that gripped most of the world, lasted a mere 40 minutes. But the hunt for bin Laden took two decades. The search began with a team of mostly female CIA analysts, known in intelligence circles as the Sisterhood. These women were trying to take down bin Laden before most of us even knew his name. Piecing together scraps of intelligence, they uncovered a secret terrorist organization, Al Qaeda, and warned Washington of this new impending threat. Their warnings were repeatedly ignoreduntil the 9/11 attacks, when all the rules changed.

Narco Cultura
To a growing number of Mexicans and Latinos in the Americas, narcotraffickers have become iconic outlaws and the new models of fame and success. They represent a pathway out of the ghetto, nurturing a new American dream fueled by the war on drugs. Narco Cultura looks at this explosive phenomenon from within, exposing cycles of addiction to money, drugs, and violence that are rapidly gaining strength on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Artfully lensed, Narco Cultura exquisitely manages to capture the horrific devastation wreaked by the drug cartels. Focusing on certain disparate individuals impacted by them, including a narco-corridos singer in the U.S. and a crime scene investigator in Juarez, the film vividly portrays both the allure and the human cost of it all. Photographer/filmmaker Shaul Schwarz has crafted a dazzling, yet harrowing, examination of the viral effect of the violence that has reshaped the face of a country and created an entire subculture that celebrates corruption.

TwentY Feet from Stardom

What would a pop song be without the riffs, refrains, and harmonies of its backup vocalists? Although these singers are usually relegated to the margins, and few, if any, become household names, their work has defined countless songs that remain in our hearts and collective consciousness. Twenty Feet from Stardom juxtaposes interviews with industry legends (Bruce Springsteen, Bette Midler, and others) and the relative unknowns who support them like Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, and Judith Hill as they illuminate the art of melding their own distinct voices with lead vocals and reveal their desires for careers as solo artists.

Valentine Road
On February 12, 2008, in Oxnard, California, eighth-grade student Brandon McInerney shot his classmate Larry King twice in the back of the head during first period. When Larry died two days later, his murder shocked the nation. Was this a hate crime, one perpetrated by a budding neo-Nazi whose masculinity was threatened by an effeminate gay kid who may have had a crush on him? Or was there even more to it? Looking beyond all the copious news coverage of this tragic event, Valentine Road tells the story of two victims: the deceased and the murderer. With keen insight, the film connects the human wreckage of Larrys and Brandons troubled livesboth physically abused, both from broken homes, and both searching for a sense of belonging. Filmmaker Marta Cunningham puts a human face on a critical issue challenging communities everywhere. Namely, how do we help kids like Brandon and Larry before tragedy happens? Haunting, infuriating, and powerful, Valentine Road shakes us to our core as it calls to question our very notion of justice. D.C.

Soldate Jeannette
Even though the walls are crumbling around Fannis opulent lifestyle, one could never tell due to her poker face and unflappable etiquette. No longer moved by the beautiful objects money can buy, and on the verge of being discovered for her conniving ways, Fanni sheds her bourgeois identity and decides to trek her way through the alpine mountains. She reaches a remote farm and meets Anna, a young woman shackled by circumstances of her own. Anna has had enough of pigs, and Fanni has had enough of money. Their mutual, yet opposing, quests toward a redefined freedom spark a newfound transformation. Whether in crocodile heels and pearls or manure-covered overalls, Fannis nerves-of-steel character is superbly inhabited by Johanna Orsini-Rosenberg. In his striking debut, director Daniel Hoesls exacting compositions and visual style places man-made wealth in stark contrast to natures bounty, while leaving intact the fierce core of transgression and powerful engine of rebellion beneath his main characters surface. With a subversive tone, this punk parable revels in the notions of relinquishing materialism and reclaiming unfettered liberty while savoring the sweet taste of revolt and reconstruction. C.D.

There Will Come a DaY

A personal crisis sends Augusta, a young Italian woman, far from home on a search for faith and meaning in her life. True to her devout Catholic background, she decides to accompany a nun as she ministers to Indigenous Brazilian villages along the Amazon River. Gradually disillusioned with the hierarchical nature of the work, Augusta opts to stay in the port city of Manaus, where she joins a favela community and works alongside the family she adopts there. Tragedy strikes, and she embarks on a bold journey of self-realizationin utter isolation, where she can finally face herself completely. A feast for the eyes, There Will Come a Day captures the grandeur of the Amazon with gorgeous aerial shots and contrasts them with intimate, textured moments among characters in close quarters, inspiring us to reflect on scale and perspective. Toggling between hushed moments with Augustas religious mother in Italy and the more colorful, energized world of Brazil, this layered, meditative film subtly explores how spiritual questions materialize at different stages of life, how destabilizing experiences yield new insight, and how our postcolonial era reframes the very notion of altruism.

Cinesurya Pictures www.cinesurya.com +62 217 200 037 At a high school for the visually impaired in Jakarta, Indonesia, the students are like any other teenagers: they attend classes, pursue artistic endeavors, and fall in love. The most privileged of the bunch, Diana, patiently awaits signs of womanhood and humors her mothers attempts to mold her into the perfect girl. The beautiful Fitri has no shortage of male attention and enters into a passionate affair with, unbeknownst to her, a hearing-impaired punk rocker who is masquerading as a doctor. Meanwhile, Maya, blind since birth, aspires to be an actress and performer. Regardless of physical barriers, the students find ways to communicate and collaborate, enabling them to connectwith each other and to the outside world. Writer/director Mouly Surya elegantly employs the language of cinema to evoke the sensory experience of her protagonists through deliberate silences, languid tracking shots down corridors, and highly choreographed movement. With gentle humor, playfulness, and heightened realism, What They Dont Talk About draws out the poetry in its characters, highlighting the magic in their lives and respecting who they are. K.Y.

Fallen CitY
The 2008 earthquake in China utterly destroyed not only physical structures but also human lives in mountain cities like Beichuan. Through the gracefully interwoven stories of three survivors from the town, Fallen City documents the struggle to rebuild amidst ruin. Meanwhile, down the road, a new Beichuan is rising. The Chinese governments solution to the devastation of the earthquake is a completely new town where the survivors can live a better, more prosperous life in spacious flats among manicured landscapes. As the physical structures appear at a breakneck pace, we see that peoples hearts cannot be repaired as easily. First-time director Zhao Qi gives us an intimate look at Chinese life by focusing on the peoples unshakable familial love and commitmentvalues not seen as often in the West. Through surprising turns, haunting visuals, and the personal and political drive to forget, Fallen City becomes a testimony to the universal human will to persevere and remember. S.S.

Fire in the Blood

In 1996, the development of antiretroviral drug therapies may not have cured AIDS, but the breakthrough made the disease treatable if patients could afford the hefty price tag. For millions in the developing world, the cost kept essential medicines out of reach and meant they would continue to die. Hope came in the form of low-cost generic drugs manufactured in India and elsewhere, but pharmaceutical companiesfavoring patents over patients and profits over the prevention of unnecessary deathsthreatened legal action against any company that dared circumvent their control of the market. The struggle to overcome this inconceivably greedy blockade with literally life or death stakesis at the heart of Dylan Mohan Grays absorbing documentary. Gray uses the response to the AIDS crisis in Africa to reveal the power of the drug companies and the impact of their lobby on the federal government. The implications of their ability to effectively deny critical treatment based on economic inequities are more far reaching than any single disease. B.T.

Google and the World Brain

The goal of accumulating all human knowledge in one repository has been a dream since ancient times. Only recently, however, has that dream become a reality. Quietly and behind closed doors, Google has been executing a project to scan and digitize every printed word on the planet. Working with the worlds most prestigious libraries, the webmasters are reinventing the limits of copyright in the name of free access to anyone, anywhere. What can possibly be wrong with this picture? As Google and the World Brain reveals, a whole lot. Some argue that Googles actions represent aggressive theft on an enormous scale, others see them as an attempt to monopolize our shared cultural heritage, and still others view the project as an attempt to flatten our minds by consolidating complex ideas into searchable extralong tweets. At first slowly, and then with intensifying conviction, a diverse coalition mobilizes to stop the fulfillment of this ambitious dream. Incisive and riveting as it uncovers a high-stakes multinational heist, Ben Lewiss film voices an important alternative to the technological utopianism of our time. S.S.

The story begins with an experiment. A filmmaker in the country of Georgia posts an ad inviting youth to audition for her film. Facing the camera, the hopefuls confess their struggles and dreams. These raw interviews unfold seamlessly into cinematic slivers of Georgian life. A teenager awaits news of his fathers surgery. A girl anticipates her wedding. The governor of a tiny village faces a monumental decision. A soldier attempts to link his imprisoned brother to the world outside, and a young woman confronts the mother who abandoned her. These threads form a fluid Altman-esque collage of charactersand a nationteetering on the brink of change. Its a world where tradition and modernity subtly intermingle: singing traditional ballads is as common a self-expression as listening to hip-hop or playing online poker. Mixing metanarrative with heightened visual aesthetics, The Machine Which Makes Everything Disappear intuitively penetrates individual lives to conjure a richly layered, indelible portrait of a society, brilliantly becoming more than the sum of its parts.

The Moo Man

In the bucolic English countryside, Stephen Hook runs the family dairy farm, Hook and Son, a lo-fi anomaly resisting a hi-fi world. Farming is a hard life and an even harder business, but Stephen and his family make it work by staying small and offering services like home delivery. And its not just a profession for Stephen: each cow has a name and is lovingly cared for, especially the farms resident cover girl, Ida. It becomes quite clear that Stephens unconventional and heartwarming friendship with his herd is what really enables the farm to survive. Director Andy Heathcote and codirector Heike Bachelier offer a glimpse of an endangered way of life. Their quiet and subdued approach allows their subjectsboth human and bovineto captivate and charm the audience. In this age when life seemingly rushes by at breakneck speed, its nice to see that some people can still sustain a simpler existence. R.W.

In the winter of 2011, after a controversial election, Vladimir Putin was reinstalled as president of Russia. In response, hundreds of thousands of citizens rose up all over the country to challenge the legitimacy of Putins rule. Among them were a group of young, radicalfeminist punk rockers, better known as Pussy Riot. Wearing colored balaclavas, tights, and summer dresses, they entered Moscows most venerated cathedral and dared to sing Mother Mary, Banish Putin! Now they have become victims of a show trial. British filmmaker Mike Lerner and Russian Maxim Pozdorovkin collaborate to chronicle the way one small act of protest captured a nations attention and grew to become an international story of human-rights abuse. Putting a personal face on a rebellion, they track three bewildered women who are imprisoned by jail bars and cameras but prepared to defend their actions no matter what it may cost them.

A River Changes Course

In her feature directorial debut, Kalyanee Mam, the cinematographer for the Academy Awardwinning documentary Inside Job, explores the damage rapid development has wrought in her native Cambodia on both a human and environmental level. Rural communities, used to reaping the bounty of their mountainous jungles and lush rivers, have witnessed their forests being cleared, land becoming scarce and costly, and fishing stocks rapidly depleting. No longer able to provide for their families, and often accruing massive debt as a result, many Cambodians have been forced to leave their rural lives behind to seek employment in the industrial factories of Phnom Penh. Following her subjects for more than two years, Mam achieves a profound intimacy with them as they confront these challenges in this stunningly shot vrit portrait. Unable to pursue an education, and forced to separate from their families, they find it hard to imagine a better future when they can barely survive in the present. B.T.

Salma
When Salma, a young Muslim girl in a south Indian village, was 13 years old, her family locked her up for 25 years, forbidding her to study and forcing her into marriage. During that time, words were Salmas salvation. She began covertly composing poems on scraps of paper and, through an intricate system, was able to sneak them out of the house, eventually getting them into the hands of a publisher. Against the odds, Salma became the most famous Tamil poet: the first step to discovering her own freedom and challenging the traditions and code of conduct in her village. As with her other work (Pink Saris, Rough Aunties), master documentarian Kim Longinotto trains her camera on an iconoclastic woman. Salmas extraordinary story is one of courage and resilience, and Longinotto follows her on an eye-opening trip back to her village. Salma has hopes for a different life for the next generation of girls, but as she witnesses, familial ties run deep, and change happens very slowly. K.Y.

A persons culture is something that is often described as fixed or defined and rooted in a particular region, nation, or state. Stuart Hall, one of the most preeminent intellectuals on the Left in Britain, updates this definition as he eloquently theorizes that cultural identity is fluidalways morphing and stretching toward possibility but also constantly experiencing nostalgia for a past that can never be revisited. Filmmaker John Akomfrah uses the rich and complex mood created by Miles Daviss trumpet to root a masterful tapestry of newly filmed material, archival imagery, excerpts from television programs, home movies, and family photographs to create this lyrical and emotionally powerful portrait of the life and philosophy of this influential theorist. Like a fine scotch, The Stuart Hall Project is smooth, complicated, and euphorically pleasing.

A.C.O.D.
Carter has spent much of his life mediating fights between his acrimoniously divorced, ill-behaved mother and father and taking on the role of designated authority figure to his carefree younger brother, Trey. Inspired by Treys sudden engagement, Carter resolves to negotiate a truce between his parents, a process that nearly unhinges him. Adding insult to injury, a frantic sprint back to his childhood therapist, Dr. Judith, reveals he was a prime subject in her self-help book on the least-parented, least-nurtured generation ever. Dr. Judith may not be able to help him, but shes delighted hes come back and inspired a sequel. Adam Scotts increasingly befuddled everyman is flanked by vivacious comic performances from Catherine OHara and Amy Poehler as his stubborn mom and sassy stepmom, respectively. Stuart Zichermans charming feature debut explores the joys and frustrations of life in a modern family, allowing that romance is never impossible, even for a hopelessly scarred adult child of divorce.

BiG Sur
Big Sur focuses on a moment in Jack Kerouacs life when, overwhelmed by the success of his opus On the Road and struggling with alcoholism, he retreats to his publisher Lawrence Ferlinghettis cabin in the small, coastal California town of Big Sur, which eventually inspires his 1962 novel of the same name. Kerouacs time begins with quiet moments of solitude and communing with nature. But, struck by loneliness, he hightails it to San Francisco, where he resumes drinking heavily and gets pushed into a relationship with his best friend Neal Cassadys mistress, Billie.
While writer/director Michael Polish (Twin Falls Idaho) explores a less glamorous moment in Kerouacs legacyone of alienation and mental breakdownBig Sur equally examines the beauty of this time in the writers life, witnessed in the romance of friendship and the purity of nature. Jean-Marc Barr embodies Kerouacs intelligence and masculinity, but also portrays him at his most contemplative and vulnerable. Luscious and breathtaking, Big Sur approaches a religious cinematic experience. K.Y.

DON JONs ADDiCTiON

Jon Martello objectifies everything in his life: his apartment, his car, his family, his church, and, of course, women. His buddies even call him Don Jon because of his ability to pull 10s every weekend without fail. Yet even the finest flings dont compare to the transcendent bliss he achieves alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Dissatisfied, he embarks on a journey to find a more gratifying sex life, but ends up learning larger lessons of life and love through relationships with two very different women. Crass, funny, and startlingly sincere, Joseph Gordon-Levitts Don Jons Addiction resonates with its utterly authentic realization of people and place, transcending New Jersey stereotypes by infusing its characters with tantalizing complexities. Gordon-Levitts chemistry with costars Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore ignites the screen with heat and emotion. With abundant charm and formidable wit, Don Jons Addiction marks the evolution of an incredibly talented actor into a truly gifted writer/director. T.G.

In 1976, college dropout Steve Jobs heralded a revolution within the confines of his parents garage. Jobs, along with friend and technical wizard Steve Wozniak, unleashed the homebrew Apple I personal computer kit onto an unsuspecting public, producing 200 units by hand and shipping each one themselves (monitor and keyboard not included). Apple Inc. was born, and the world would never be the same. Today hundreds of millions of users around the world remain tethered to the remarkable products that Jobs championedhis impact on the world of technology was undoubtedly colossal, but his effect on our culture was simply immeasurable. Although the road that Jobs traveled to become CEO of the company he cofounded was a tumultuous one, director Joshua Michael Stern unfurls his story with relative ease, and Ashton Kutchers highly nuanced portrayal of the technology icon adroitly captures the essence of a man who changed the way we live.

THe LOOK OF LOVe

Welcome to the scandalous world of Paul Raymond, entrepreneur, impresario, and the king of Soho. Seeing mediocrity in the smutty sex parlors of London, Raymond unveils his first gentlemens club in 1958 and gradually builds an empire of clubs and erotic magazines that brings him vast wealth while affronting British sexual mores. It also brings a litany of obscenity charges, a failed marriage, troubled children, and personal tragedy. From a layered script by Matt Greenhalgh, Michael Winterbottoms creative approach is energetic and inspired. Starting in black and white, the films aesthetic transforms over time, mirroring the cinema styles of each period (with a soundtrack that follows suit). After struggling for years to bring Raymonds story to the screen, Steve Coogan delivers a remarkable performance in a dramatic role sure to reframe his career. Was the man who railed against social hypocrisies simply a hypocrite himself? Coogan fully inhabits this complicated and contradictory man who seems almost tragic, invoking Oscar Wildes remark, We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. J.N.

Very Good Girls is a refreshing representation of contemplative, smart, and curious teenage girls, who experience their everyday lives with a sophistication and grace that most of their peers lack. Naomi Foners intimate story emanates a raw nostalgia for that painful time when we waver precariously between adolescence and young adulthood. R.K.

ANITA
You know who you aredont ever doubt yourself. Erma Hill to her daughter, Anita
On October 11, 1991, a poised young law professor sent shock waves through the nation as she sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee intrepidly testifying to the lewd behavior of a Supreme Court nominee. Twenty years later, Academy Award winner and Sundance veteran Freida Mock (Wrestling with Angels screened at the 2006 Festival) brings us ANITA, which crystallizes the sexist power dynamics in the room that day and unravels the impact of that lightning-rod moment on Anita Hills life and the broader discussion of gender inequality in America. Contemporary interviews with Hill and her allies and unsettling archival footage reveal the way her attempt to report confidentially on Clarence Thomass conduct quickly became a perverse and vicious public attack on her character and credibility. With Thomas playing the race card and a bevy of male senators lobbing ideological bombs, Hills hearing became a charade of justice. Yet her audacity to speak truth detonated a national debate about sexual harassment that revolutionized gender politics. As girls and women express what Hills sacrifice has meant to them, were moved to shout, We believe you, Anita. C.L.

THe CrAsH Reel

This eye-popping, yet intimate, story of U.S. champion snowboarder Kevin Pearce uses years of vrit footage to expose the excitement and appeal, as well as the high stakes, of participating in extremeaction sports. Training to compete against longtime rival Shaun White at the 2010 Winter Olympics, Kevin suffered severe traumatic brain injury from a 2009 accident in Park City, Utah. His tight-knit Vermont family flew to his side, and together they began an intensive process of trying to rehabilitate him and help him rebuild his permanently damaged life. Kevins determination and the tireless support of family and friends kept him focused on recovery. But when he insisted he wanted to return to the sport he loved, his family objected. As an elite athlete, Kevin was a professional risk taker, but as a brain-injury survivor, his skills were now impaired, and even a small blow to the head could kill him. Academy Awardnominated director Lucy Walkers latest film (Waste Land won the World Cinema Documentary Audience Award at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival) sheds light on the alarming trend of athletes pushing the boundaries of their sports past the limit. How much risk is too much? Her thoughtful and probing treatment of her subject enables us to share one familys remarkable journey. L.V.

HisTOrY OF THe EAGles PArT ONe

Alison Ellwoods intimate, meticulously crafted patchwork of rare archival material, concert footage, and unseen home movies explores the evolution and enduring popularity of one of Americas truly defining bands. Inspired by the vibrant Los Angeles music scene, Glenn Frey and Don Henley left Linda Ronstadts backup band to team with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner and form the Eagles in 1971. While personal stories from band members (later including Don Felder, Joe Walsh, and Timothy Schmit), managers, and music-industry luminaries frame the narrative, its the unexpected momentsrecording sessions, backstage interactions, and even a whimsical sequence from the Desperado cover shootthat convey the inexplicable rapport linking artists, music, and the times (an era when country-tinged rock and pristine harmonies spoke to a nation still reeling from unrest). But the band was not impervious to its own unrest, and its conflicts prompted several departures and ultimately led to its demise (or long vacation). This History of the Eagles Part One skips neither a beat nor a hit song, and were reminded why the bands Their Greatest Hits collection remains one of the best-selling albums in U.S. history. J.N.

In February 2012, an entire nation of basketball fans unexpectedly went Linsane. Stuck in the mire of a disappointing season, the New York Knicks did what no other NBA team had thought about doingthey gave backup point guard Jeremy Lin an opportunity to prove himself. He took full advantage, scoring more points in his first five NBA starts than any other player in the modern era, and created a legitimate public frenzy in the process. Prior to this now-legendary run, Lin had faced adversity in his career at every turn. He wasnt offered a scholarship by any major university, nor was he drafted by any NBA team after a standout collegiate career at Harvard. Director Evan Jackson Leong embarked on this documentary before Jeremy Lin was a household name, following the future star as he struggled to find his place in a league where Asian American players are few and far between. More than just a film for basketball addicts, Linsanity serves as an insightful study of the way we perceive race in America and shows what is possible if someone believes in himself. A.M.

MusCle SHOAls
In a tiny Alabama town with the curious name of Muscle Shoals, something miraculous sprang from the mud of the Tennessee River. A group of unassuming, yet incredibly talented, locals came together and spawned some of the greatest music of all time: Mustang Sally, I Never Loved a Man, Wild Horses, and many more. During the most incendiary periods of racial hostility, white folks and black folks came together to create music that would last for generations and gave birth to the incomparable Muscle Shoals sound. At the heart of the story is Rick Hall; overcoming crushing hardship, he managed to entice talent like Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett to come and record what became their hit albums, backed up by the funkiest white men everthe homegrown house band, the Swampers. As the word spread about the electrifying musical chemistry in this unexpected place, the likes of Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Staples Singers, the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Simon and Garfunkel magnetically followed suit. Interviewing an incredible roster of musicians, director Greg Camalier unearths a rich history of this unheralded gold mine of American music. C.L., C.R.

The atomic bomb, the specter of a global nuclear holocaust, and disasters like Fukushima have made nuclear energy synonymous with the darkest nightmares of the modern world. But what if everyone has nuclear power wrong? What if people knew that there are reactors that are self-sustaining and fully controllable and ones that require no waste disposal? What if nuclear power is the only energy source that has the ability to stop climate change? Prolific documentarian Robert Stone and environmentalists, scientists, and energy experts share the reasons why they have changed their minds from being fiercely anti to strongly pronuclear energy. The film directly attacks popularly held reasons to oppose nuclear energy, including fear of another disaster like Chernobyl, the problem of waste, and the weakness of clean alternatives like wind and solar energy. Whatever your stance, Stones compelling film opens Pandoras box and promises to change the conversation for years to come. With the worlds unquenchable thirst for energy and its resulting threat to our environment, the stakes may be nothing less than the survival of the planet. S.S.

Hailed as one of the most distinguished families in American literature, the Hemingways have always exposed both their bright brilliance and their harrowing secrets. Two-time Academy Award winner and the only person to sweep all three of the Sundance Film Festivals documentary awards for American Dream, Barbara Kopple focuses her newest film on Mariel Hemingway, a granddaughter of the legendary writer Ernest, as she explores her familys disturbing history of mental illness and suicide. As a youngster, Mariel followed her supermodel sister, Margaux, into the acting world. Critics immediately praised Mariels natural talent, which created a deep rift between the sisters. Kopples bold portrait of the Hemingways intertwines haunting archival footage from Margauxs personal family documentary with scenes from Mariels life today as she advocates for suicide prevention and strives to live a rigorously healthy lifestyle to combat what appears to be her birthright. Mariels courageous journey of acceptance and introspection allows her to view her family and turbulent upbringing through new eyes and, for the first time, accept them with a peaceful heart. R.K.

Multitalented musician Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Nirvana fronts a mission to resurrect the rapidly vanishing human touch behind the creation of music. When Sound City, a fabled recording studio, opened in 1969, it boasted a one-of-a kind recording console. Tucked away behind train tracks and dilapidated warehouses in the sunburnt San Fernando Valley, Sound City became rock n roll hallowed ground where musics megastars captured their magic on analog tape for three decades. The advent of the digital age ultimately sounded the death knell of Sound City. Grohl cobbles together a troupe of iconic musicians and singers who once called the studio home. Stevie Nicks, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Trent Reznor, Rick Springfield, and Paul McCartney are just some of the legends who jam with Grohl and create a brand-new album on that revered soundboard.

It all started on a family vacation. In 2006, the 25-year-old, vital, handsome, talented Jason DaSilva was on a beach with his family when, suddenly, he fell down and couldnt get back up. Doctors told him he had multiple sclerosis, and it could lead to loss of vision and muscle control, as well as a myriad of other problems. Jason decided to exercise more, but the problem just got worse. So he turned to his mom. She reminded him that he was a fortunate, privileged North American kid who had the opportunity to pursue the things he loved mostart and filmmaking. So Jason picked up the camera, turned it on himself, and began filming the slow, difficult decline of his body and the miracles he encountered along the way. An emotional and inspirational documentary that is a pleasure to watch, When I Walk is an energizing and self-generating film experience whose creative engine is its young filmmakers determination to live and his ability to make sense of being plagued by a devastating disease through the art of cinematic storytelling.

New Yorkbased writer and journalist Sebastian Junger first ventured into film with the documentary Restrepo, which he shot and directed with colleague Tim Hetherington. The film won the 2010 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for best documentary and was nominated for an Academy Award. Jungers accompanying book, War, spent more than a month on the New York Times best-seller list; his other books include The Perfect Storm, Fire, and A Death in Belmont. As a contributing editor for Vanity Fair, Junger has reported from war zones across the world. Gretchen McGowan www.goldcrestfilms.com gmcgowan@goldcrestfilms.com (212) 897-3935 Photojournalist and filmmaker Tim Hetherington was always searching for the humanity within wartime conflict, as evidenced in his awardwinning body of work. When he and Sebastian Junger spent a year filming a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan in their Academy Awardnominated and Sundance Grand Jury Prizewinning film Restrepo, they werent simply looking for action; instead, they chose to focus on the many small moments that make war real. Hetheringtons footage of time he spent with the rebel army during Liberias civil war and in Libya prior to his untimely death from a mortar blast in 2011 conveys a rare sense of intimacy in sharp contrast to the violence surrounding him. Although he spent most of his time traveling to the epicenter of war zones, he was seeking the truth, rather than adventure. That is Hetheringtons enduring gift. Director Sebastian Junger gracefully weaves together footage of Hetherington at work and moving interviews with his family, friends, and colleagues to capture his compatriot and friends unique perspective, compassion, and intense curiosity about the human spirit.

How did a college dropout who was arrested for a DUI twice in the same year become the single-most-powerful nonpresidential political figure in American history? Filmmakers R. J. Cutler (whose The September Issue screened at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival) and Greg Finton answer that question and others in what is sure to be the definitive film about the fascinating life and legacy of Dick Cheney. Featuring exclusive interviews with Cheney, his closest allies, and his fiercest critics, The World According to Dick Cheney charts the former vice presidents journey from a jailhouse in small-town Wyoming to the inner sanctums of the White House. Revered by his supporters and loathed by his detractors, Cheney enjoyed a career that spanned four decades, culminating in his eight years as the most controversial and, in his words, most consequential vice president ever. Cutler and Fintons brilliant film unfolds like a chess game, carefully balancing the illuminating philosophy, complex psychology, arrogance, and dedication of this family man, fisherman, and staunch patriot.

Fill THe VOiD

Developed at the Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab, Fill the Void captivated audiences at last years Jerusalem, Venice, and New York film festivals. And its no wonder why. An exquisite debut from director Rama Burshtein, it transports the viewer inside a restrained, yet heightened, hermetically sealed world few would otherwise enter.
Watching Fill the Void is like stepping into a Charlotte Bront novel set in Tel Avivs ultra-Orthodox community. Strict social codes, rabbinical decrees, and subtle signifiers govern the way all members interact especially men and women. This is the universe of taciturn, 18-year-old Shira, whose cloistered life takes a dramatic turn when her sister dies suddenly, leaving behind a newborn and a bereaved husband. As the camera gently infiltrates Shiras familys hushed quarters, so, too, does it keenly observe her private evolution from innocence to self-awareness as she decides whether to take her sisters husband as her own. The tension between Shira and her brother-in-law is palpable as their vulnerabilities stir under the surface of an emotional chess game neither is prepared for. Burshteins universal story of tortured lovetold with enormous specificity, nuance, and depthis transfixing. C.L.

THe GATeKeepers
Since its North American debut at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals, The Gatekeepers has inspired passionate debate. Its insider view of Israeli national security and the Palestinian question will no doubt make it one of the most talked-about documentaries of the year.
Director Dror Moreh filters the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since 1967s Six-Day War through the keen perspectives of all six living former heads of the Shin Bet, Israels internal security agency. In remarkably candid one-on-one interviews, the men reflect on lessons learned and reveal the lasting impact of their actions on the peace processfor better or for worse. With unprecedented access to these key figuresthe only Israeli intelligence officials whose identities are publicly knownMoreh poses challenging questions that shed light on the inner workings of the government and its counterterrorism activities. Their pragmatic answers, born of hard-fought battles against extremists on both sides, offer a provocative path forward for Israel if it ever hopes to find lasting peace. B.T.

MuD
Direct from the Cannes Film Festival, consummate storyteller Jeff Nichols, whose Take Shelter premiered to great acclaim at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, returns to Park City with this homespun fable set on the banks of the mighty Mississippi.
Ellis and Neckbone are best friends approaching the twilight of their youth. While exploring, they stumble upon the hiding place of charismatic outlaw Mud (played with controlled charm by a well-cast Matthew McConaughey), who takes a quick liking to the boys and recruits them to his cause: the search for true love and a clean getaway. Illustrating a vibrant imagination, sumptuous attention to detail, and a remarkable gift for extracting magnetic performances from a talented ensemble, Nichols hurtles us into the middle of a lush adventure, ensnaring the excitement every youngster feels when trouble lurks everywhere and anything is possible. Steeped in the vanishing myth of the Deep South, a place that Nichols dearly loves, Muds handcrafted vision shines through in each richly textured frame and proves a tall tale for the ages. L.Z.

NO
Pablo Larrain is at the forefront of a growing wave of thrilling Chilean directors. His latest film, No, wowed festivalgoers at Cannes, Toronto, and New York and establishes him as a true force in international cinema. No attests that the arc of the universe can bend toward justice. The multitalented Gael Garca Bernal portrays Ren Saavedra, a brilliant young ad man who, against all odds, engineers a successful 1988 voter campaign to oust brutal Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. His song-and-dance, feel-good strategy causes rancor among the activists who have spent years building a more serious grassroots movement focused on the governments infamous human rights abuses.
A tense, blow-by-blow examination of office politics, political alignments, and interpersonal drama, No flawlessly interweaves fact and fiction, in part through Larrains brilliant choice to shoot in 1980s-era videotape, which allows him to interweave historical source material and newly shot footage. He manages to surmount videos ugly reputation to create a gorgeously directed drama with the ring of historical truth that will leave you feeling inspired about the promise of cinema and the resilience of the human spirit.

STOries We Tell
Actor/director Sarah Polley previously attended the Sundance Film Festival as a filmmaker with her shorts Dont Think Twice and I Shout Love and her first feature film, 2007s Away From Her. Her latest is a riveting and joyful personal documentary that has screened at the Venice, Telluride, and Toronto film festivals.
Polley turns the camera on her own family and creates an essay/ love letter to her actor parents: Diane, who passed away when she was 11, and Michael. In the process, she investigates a mystery she initially wasnt even sure existed. When Polley pulls back the layers of the stories told by her siblings and close family friends, differing perceptions and buried secrets rise to the surfacewith some very surprising revelations. In pursuit of truth through art, Polley creates and recreates the past by using home movies and original footage, enfolding it in a rich, spellbinding, and emotionally affecting narrative. Five years in the making, Stories We Tell is about the stories told within Polleys own family, but also the ones we all telland the way everybodys truth is the truth. K.Y.

Blue CApriCe
Blue Caprice is inspired by the Beltway sniper attacks during which two men, John Muhammed and Lee Malvo, conducted a siege of terror on the Washington, D.C., area. Their method: a series of random shootings in public places. Their weapon: a sniper rifle, fired from the trunk of a blue Chevrolet Caprice. The film investigates the genesis of those horrific events from the point of view of the two shooters, whose distorted father-son relationship facilitated their long and bloody journey across America.
Marked by captivating performances, lyrical camerawork, and a fractured structure, Blue Caprice documents the mechanisms that lead its subjects to embrace physical violence. Eschewing the conventional approach familiar to the genre, director Alexandre Moors utilizes a formidable cinematic lexicon to concoct a harrowing psychological exploration of the two cold-blooded killers, making a forceful impact on audiences that remains long after the lights come up.

COmpuTer CHess
Is there a computer program in the house which can stand up against a human chess master? Thats the question posed by mastermind of the game Pat Henderson, head of an annual computer chess tournament. Set in 1980 in a nondescript hotel, Computer Chess follows several young geniuses as they try to make the ultimate chess program to beat a human player. As the nerdy guys sweat through various social situations (especially with the one girl there), and the convention overlaps with a group of New Age couples in therapy, things get really strange. Writer/director Andrew Bujalski has created a playful, emotionally resonant period piece bolstered by keen aesthetics, which launches us back into the awkward and uncertain time when the hopeful wave of the 60s and 70s was about to crest into the Reagan 80s. As highdefinition video tries to replicate film while threatening to lose all of its original nuances, Bujalski brings the beauty and contrast of early PortaPak video techniques back from the landfill. As his characters mind-meld over one weekend, the humorous film captures a deeper feeling of a bygone era that is nevertheless extremely relevant in todays technology-obsessed world. People just want to connect with one another, even if they are trying to make an artificial brain. M.P.

Fourteen-year-old Lila is experiencing an ennui-filled Brooklyn summer. She awkwardly wears a Kabuki-esque mask of sunscreen at the beach and plays third wheel to Chiara, her more experienced friend, and Chiaras boyfriend, Patrick. Determined to have a love interest of her own, a bravado-filled Lila pursues Sammy, a tough but handsome older boy. Though Sammy doesnt respond to her overtures, he doesnt reject her, either, and Lilaunable to resist spinning delusional fables of a relationship with himmanipulates herself deeper into his world. When her desperation and posturing carry her too far into unfamiliar territory, her inexperience is exposed, and she is forced to confront reality. In this film shot from Lilas point of view and constructed with precisesometimes startlingimagery and intimate moments, firsttime feature writer/director Eliza Hittman confidently constructs a viewing experience that is completely subjective.

I UseD TO Be DArKer
When Taryn, a Northern Irish runaway, finds herself in trouble in Ocean City, Maryland, she seeks refuge with her aunt and uncle in Baltimore. But Kim and Bill have problems of their own: they are trying to handle the end of their marriage gracefully for the sake of their daughter, Abby, just home from her first year of college. I Used to Be Darker is a story of people finding each other and letting each other go; of looking for love where they have found it before; and, when that does not work, figuring out where they might find it next. With his third feature, writer/director Matthew Porterfield focuses his delicate eye on this rip in a familys fabric and the emotional fallout it causes. Cinematographer Jeremy Saulnier beautifully tracks the bubbling revelations and suburban Baltimore landscape in this quiet story that is vitalized by live performance. C.R.

What this white, well-to-do, magnet high school student wants with all his being is to be like the cool kids from the Maple Avenue projects.

In his mind, he has finally made it; he is practically black.

Wafting through aimless days in New York smoking weed whenever possible, Lyle makes his living repossessing rented furniture from the destitute before heading home to be with his girl. Though caught in a loop of self-medication, Nina yearns for more. When mistakes in judgment escalate out of control, the happy couple find the life they have built is quickly evaporating, and the hole they have dug for themselves is growing beyond repair.

A TeACHer
Diana, a young, attractive teacher at a suburban Texas high school, is well-liked by her students and colleagues. Her life seems to be following the status quo, but in reality shes having a secret affair with her student Eric. She confides in no one but him, reveling in the teenage terrain of sexting and backseat quickies. Even when the risk of discovery looms over their relationship, her investment in the fantasy remains stronger than reality. Unable to control herself, she heads down a reckless path of self-destruction. The subject of a teacher-student affair may be tabloid fodder, but writer/director Hannah Fidell resists sensationalism or the temptation to pathologize her protagonist. At its core, Dianas affair with her student is the manifestation of her avoidance of responsibility, and the film lets us in on her internal struggle. With bold vision, Fidell uses highly controlled pacing, silky camera movements, and a tense percussive sound aesthetic to free her narrative from the confines of convention, while a fascinating performance by Lindsay Burdge transports us into Dianas head, where her unabated obsession lives.

THis Is MArTiN BONNer

Chad Hartigans moving second feature has an air of simplicity but proves a subtle meditation on friendship, faith, and human connection. In his fifties, Martin Bonner leaves his old life behind and relocates to Reno, where he finds work for a church-based program that helps released prisoners transition to life on the outside. Divorced with two adult children, he tries speed dating and passes time as a soccer referee on weekends. Meanwhile Travis Holloway has just been released from a 12-year prison stint. His program mentor, Steve, is charitable and helps him adjust, but Travis finds Steves Christian devotion uncomfortable and reaches out to Martin instead. The two men form an unlikely friendship that offers them unspoken support and understanding. In this quiet observational film, Hartigan affects naturalism but hints at unnerving disquietude as both Martin and Travis struggle in an unfamiliar placelooking for a second chance at life. The storytelling is intimate, witty, and personal, while Paul Eenhoorn (as Martin) and Richmond Arquette (as Travis) offer standout performances, approaching their characters with a low-key restraint that evokes the awkwardness of starting life afresh, well into middle age.

Ass BACKwArDs
Kate and Chloe have been best friends since childhood, when they both tied for dead last in their hometown beauty pageant. Now they are all grown up and living in New York City, where Chloe works as a girl in a box at a nightclub and Kate is a CEOof her own one-woman egg-donor corporation. Their past humiliation remains long forgotten until they receive an invitation to the pageants milestone anniversary celebration. The unpleasant memories come flooding back, but Kate and Chloe decide to redeem themselves by winning the elusive crown. Director Chris Nelson takes us on a raucous and wacky road trip that includes a rescued wild rabbit, a feminist wilderness commune, and amateur night at a strip club. Lead actresses June Diane Raphael and Casey Wilson have great laugh-out-loud chemistry, and their brand of stiletto-clad physical comedy brings an amusing and unique charm to the female version of the buddy movie.

JeremY LOVeriNG
After unofficially attending film school and working as a film production runner, Jeremy Lovering graduated to directing award-winning short films, television series (including spy drama MI5 and an adaptation of Martin Amiss Money with Nick Frost), television movies (Miss Austen Regrets with Tom Hiddlestone, Imogen Poots, and Olivia Williams), and documentaries such as The Ultimate Bullet, where he filmed the first American soldier to return to Iraq. Melanie Vazeux melanie.vazeux@studiocanal.com +33 1 71 35 51 39
Reminiscent of vintage psychological thrillers and bolstered by newcomers Iain De Caestecker and Alice Englert in its main roles, In Fear plays out in real time and hinges on a claustrophobic, unrelentingly tense visual style. Looking to shed pretense and genuinely scare his actors, Lovering withheld the script and often concealed what was about to happen to the characters. Add a dark forest, and the fear became real. Though propelled by visceral thrills, the film transcends genre and offers a study in fear itself, creating a cerebral fable in which fear of the dark, of the unknown, of ourselvesgoverns our nature, compels our choices, and may well seal Tom and Lucys fate.

Upon release from prison, a solitary man known only as the Rambler embarks on a mysterious journey en route to reconnecting with his long-lost brother. Traversing treacherous back roads, lost highways, and isolated small towns, he unearths a multitude of bizarre and wickedly depraved slices of Americana. In this expansion of his short film of the same name, which screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008, writer/director Calvin Lee Reeder absorbs the audience into his surreal universe, complete with a rich visual palette and an immersive soundscape. Anchored by Dermot Mulroneys brilliantly laconic lead performance, The Rambler is a seminal road movie, filled with bizarre supernatural hallucinations, shocking episodes of violence, and enough dark humor that some twisted minds may even call it a comedy. No matter how you attempt to categorize this film, youre not likely to find anything quite like it for miles around. A.M.

VirTuAllY HerOes
A sarcastic, self-aware character in a video game, Sgt. Books, becomes frustrated by the screwy logic of his universe: the pointless battles, superpowerful bosses, and an endless supply of virtual Vietcong. He cant get the girl who appears at the end of each level, and he cant get through to his gung-ho partner. To find answers to the questions posed by his odd existence, Books abandons his mission and seeks help from a straight-talking monk, delightfully played by another onscreen hero who also once received words of wisdom from a man in a robe. The first Roger Corman production to screen at the Sundance Film Festival, Virtually Heroes is a war picture, a satire of video-game culture, a buddy comedy, and an existential mind-trip wrapped up into one outrageous film that works on many surprising levels. Injecting the low-budget/high-concept film with a full dose of razor-sharp wit, director G. J. Ecthernkamp embraces the base and the profound as he seeks to unlock the cheat codes of life. T.G.

We Are WHAT We Are

A seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank rules the roost with a rigorous fervor, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost. As a torrential rainstorm moves into the area, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris and Rose are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family. The most important task the girls face is putting meat on the tablebut not the kind that can be found at the local supermarket. As the unrelenting downpour continues to flood their small town, local authorities begin to uncover clues that bring them closer to the secret that the Parkers have held closely for so many years. In this reimagining of the 2010 Mexican film of the same name, director Jim Mickle paints a gruesome portrait of an introverted family struggling to keep their macabre traditions alive, giving us something we can really sink our teeth into.

El MAriACHi
El Mariachi, Robert Rodriguezs debut feature, sneaked into the 1993 Sundance Film Festival completely unheralded and emerged with the dramatic Audience Awardand cult film status. Rodriguezs tale of an itinerant musician who is mistaken for a Mexican hit man manages to skewer the action/adventure/thriller genre at the same time that it incorporates its elements to propel the plot. Like a character out of a Hitchcock film, the nave mariachi is thrown into a corrupt world he cannot control or understand and is gradually sucked into its evil labyrinth, where everything and everyone is for sale.
Filmed over just two weeks in Ciudad Acoma, Mexico, for about $7,000 with a handheld 16mm camera, El Mariachi has the look of a true independent with its grainy film, mix of speeded-up and slow motion, handmade tracking shots, quick cuts, and disorienting angles. Rodriguez shot and edited the film himself, and Carlos Gallardo cowrote the screenplay as well as playing the confused but charming mariachi. Twenty years after its appearance, El Mariachi celebrates the exciting early years of indie filmmaking when anything was possible. Thanks to Sony Pictures Entertainment for making this print, restruck from preserved elements, available for this screening. B.B.

The Pixelated Pavilion is an exhibition of works that immerse our physical bodies within moving-image environments. The Internet becomes a site of subversion as cinematic stories dissolve the surrounding architecture and invite the entire body to enter and engage with various forms of digital artistic expression, creativity, and storytelling.
The 2013 edition of New Frontier features full-dome and wrap-around lms, augmented-reality experiences, 3-D projection-mapped environments, and datamoshed hip-hop performances. The works by this years artists disorient time and space and provoke a reconsideration of ways we may integrate the bers of our bodies with the realities of life on the digital frontier. Shari Frilot

CHArlie ViCTOr ROmeO

When you board an airplane, who are those people in uniform to whom you entrust your life? What do they really do when things go horribly wrong? Derived entirely from the black box transcripts of six major airline emergencies, Charlie Victor Romeo puts the audience inside the tension-filled cockpits of actual flights in distress, offering a fascinating portrait of the psychology of crisis and a persons will to live to the last second. Codirectors Robert Berger and Karlyn Michelsons chilling and groundbreaking production stretches the boundaries of film, theatre, and the traditional documentary with this stereoscopic 3-D film of a stage play that recreates transcripts word for word. Charlie Victor Romeo transports film audiences into the best seats of the theatre and delivers the intensity and gut-wrenching emotion of these emergencies via the unique approach of live performance. Berger and Michelson not only serve up raw cinematic tension but also set the stage for future collaborations with theatrical productions. -S. F.

FAT SHAKer
Mohammad Shirvanis captivating feature reveals an intensely personal vision as it explores gendered and generational conflicts. The film introduces us to a father and his son; the older man is obese, unwell, and oppressive in his dealings with the younger, who is also deaf and mute. A series of cryptic, spellbinding episodes reveals a tyrannical paternalism at work that has long since hardened into a closed circuit of mutual pain. Enter a mysterious and beautiful woman of unspecified identity, who becomes an agent of change, embodying both an evolved consciousness and the power of the female as a rebuke to bankrupt patriarchy. Characteristically experimenting with film form, Shirvani is rigorous and masterful in his storytelling here, introducing situations and behaviors without qualification so that minute details surge with symbolic weight. Sensitively modulated sound and searching camerawork extract telling clues from myriad strata while the implied narrative attaches to the powerfully realized, archetypical characters like a vapor. -S.

Beto, a security guard in a Mexico City gym, quietly observes the healthy bodies of the muscle-bound patrons, which contrast sharply with his own physical deterioration. Afflicted with a strange illness, the scared and ashamed Beto surrenders to his condition and holes up in his apartment, injecting himself with embalming fluid to stem his increasing decay. Betos melancholy grows as he realizesin the words of an affable morgue attendantthat the diseased become the disease. Through the friendly advances of the gyms female owner, Beto dances with the illusory promise of feeling alive again. Sebastian Hofmanns increasingly surrealistic feature debut subverts genre conventions and audience expectations, treating its livingdead protagonist with sensitivity and compassion. Hofmanns camera boldly exposes the grotesque details of Betos physical condition while artfully depicting his isolated existence. Captivating lead actor Alberto Trujillo appears to waste away before our eyes, making his fumbling attempts to cling to life all the more haunting. -H. Z.

Travis Mathews is an awardwinning filmmaker whose movies focus on gay men and intimacy. By combining a masters degree in counseling psychology with a knowledge of documentary film, Mathews takes a thoughtful and naturalistic approach to filmmaking while maintaining a sense of humor in his work. James Francos life has become multifaceted as he pursues his interests as a student, artist, writer, director, and actor. He earned accolades for his performances in James Dean, Milk, and 127 Hours and also starred in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the Spider-Man trilogy. Additionally, Franco wrote and directed The Broken Tower and directed Sal and Saturday Night. Upcoming films as an actor are Oz: The Great and Powerful, Child of God, As I Lay Dying, The End of the World, and Homefront.

INTeriOr. LeATHer BAr.

The 1980 film Cruising, starring Al Pacino as an undercover cop investigating a murder in the New York City gay, leather, bar scene, was plagued with controversy, and its director was forced by the Motion Picture Association of America to cut 40 minutes of sexually explicit material. Those 40 minutes have never been screened publicly. Filmmakers James Franco and Travis Mathews set out to reimagine what might have transpired in those lost scenes in this intriguing film about the making of a film. The cameras roll as Franco assembles a mix of gay and straight men, including the likeable Val Lauren in the lead role. What emerges is a portrait of the fascinating dynamics that drive the filmmakers need to challenge normalcy, the interplay of celebrity and experimentation, and the dilemma faced by actors struggling to reconcile who they are with the idea of performing in a sexually explicit, gay, S&M film. The result is a provocative exploration of the importance of the radical and transgressive in society and the value of engaging with things that scare us. S.F.

Le mTOre
A man in prison, a wife carrying on a new life, a mother getting older: three lives connected and warped by a single event. As fortysomething Pierre is serving a 14-year prison sentence, his wife and mother are adjusting to their new everyday life, forced into revisiting the past because of Pierres violent act. As we watch all three characters grow, making choices on the best way to move forward in love and life, the sublime visual language of the film explores our compassionate connection to each other and the natural world around us. Using elegant images of nature, animals, and the actors, Franois Delisle visually establishes the characters as their off-screen dialogue deepens them. Textures and color play as important a role as the dialogue in this film and depict both the visceral and literary journey this family makes to deal with guilt. With its precise style, The Meteor illuminates the trails that a massive life event leaves behind. M.P.

At the Festival, the Native Forum brings attention to lms supported by the Native American and Indigenous Program and those written, directed, or produced by Indigenous lmmakers.
NATiVe FOrum
Following President and Founder Robert Redfords original vision, Sundance Institute has remained committed to supporting Indigenous lmmaking. From Sundance Institutes support of Greg Sarriss (Coast Miwok) Grand Avenue at the 1992 June Screenwriters Lab to Andrew Okpeaha MacLean (Iupiaq) winning the Berlin International Film Festivals 2011 Crystal Bear and the award for the best rst feature for his lm On The Ice, the Institute has established a rich legacy of work. The Native American and Indigenous Program has built and sustained an Indigenous lm circle, which begins by scouting for and identifying Native American and Indigenous artists, then bringing them under Institute support to get their projects made and shown, and nally taking the lmmakers and their work back to Native lands. The Native American and Indigenous Program has made strategic investments to help emerging Native American lmmakers through the Native Lab Fellowship and the Native Producers Fellowship. In 2012, the Native American and Indigenous Program deepened its commitment to Native artists by launching a new Native Producers Initiative, which identies emerging Native producers and supports their professional development and the development of their projects. At the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, Native American and Indigenous artists are represented in several programs, including the World Cinema Dramatic Competition: Shopping (Louis Sutherland [Samoan]); Park City at Midnight: Ass Backwards (Heather Rae [Cherokee], Chad Burris [Chickasaw Nation]); and the Shorts Competition: The Captain (Taika Waititi [Te Whanau Apanui]),and Night Shift (Chelsea Winstanley [Ngati Ranginui]). The role that these talented Native producers are playing in mainstream, non-Native lms at this years Festival signies an important shift in the landscape to include Native artists among the wider Indie production community.

Power of Story: Measure for Measure

Friday, January 25, 3:00 p.m. Egyptian Theatre, Park City #PowerofStory Ticket required
Edgy stories, complex characters, distinctive voices, and formal freedomthese were once the hallmarks of independent lm. But seeing creative opportunity in other forms, lmmakers have been spreading the wealth, looking toward serialized narrativeson television and online that allow complex characters and stories to develop over time. Have mainstream outlets, once notorious for dulling the edge of edgy, found room in their schedule for original auteur perspectives? Jess Cagle (moderator) is managing editor of Time Inc.s Entertainment Weekly. He helped launch the magazine in 1990 and continues to play a key role in dening its voice. One of the most recognizable entertainment journalists, Cagle has interviewed Hollywoods biggest stars and made television appearances on every major entertainment news program. Jane Campions lms include Sweetie, An Angel at My Table, The Piano (winner of three Academy Awards, including best screenplay), Portrait of a Lady, Holy Smoke, In the Cut, and Bright Star. Campion won the Palme dOr in Cannes for her short lm Peel and feature The Piano. Justin Lin earned his MFA in lm directing at UCLA. His critically acclaimed Better Luck Tomorrow premiered at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. He has gone on to direct such blockbuster lms as Fast and Furious and Fast Five. Lin is a principal and founder of Perfect Storm Entertainment, Barnstorm Pictures, and the YouTube channel YOMYOMF.
OFFSCREEN: POWER OF STORY
Cinema history without music is unimaginable. Even during the silent era, movie theatres were hardly silent. The lm score is a uniquely visceral tool of storytelling, able to engage emotion and enhance characters, themes, and narratives. How many memorable moments owe their lasting power to music? Who can imagine Gone with the Wind without Max Steiner or Lawrence of Arabia without Maurice Jarre? In this panel, some of todays most admired composers explore the creative processfrom inspiration to the nal score. Terence Blanchard, a ve-time Grammy Award winner and one of the most inuential jazz musicians and composers of his generation, has scored more than 50 lms, including Eves Bayou, Inside Man, Barbershop, and the Golden Globenominated 25th Hour. Commissioned by Opera Theatre Saint Louis, his opera on boxing legend Emile Grifth premieres in June 2013. Chris Douridas (moderator) hosted KCRW-FMs daily music program Morning Becomes Eclectic and was music director at the station throughout most of the 1990s. He continued discovering and sharing new talent at Geffen, DreamWorks, AOL Music, and iTunes, where Steve Jobs hired him as a creative programming consultant. He has also worked as a music supervisor and consultant on movies and television, including Northern Exposure, the Austin Powers series, One Hour Photo, and American Beauty. Mark Isham is a pioneer of electronic music and a world-renowned lm composer whose workCrash, A River Runs Through It, and Nellhas earned him Grammy, Emmy, Academy Award, and Golden Globe recognition in addition to ASCAPs Henry Mancini Award for Career Achievement. Acclaimed for his solo recordings, he has also graced albums from Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, The Rolling Stones, and many others. Jan A. P. Kaczmarek, who started composing for theatre after relocating to the U.S. from Poland, has written scores for more than 50 lms, including Unfaithful, Total Eclipse, The Visitor, and Finding Neverland, for which he won an Academy Award. In his native country, he established the Transatlantyk Poznan International Film and Music Festival and the Instytut Rozbitek, which is aimed at developing new talent in the arts.
Richard Linklater has directed 17 feature lms, including Slacker, Before Sunrise, and School of Rock, as well as the Hulu series Up to Speed. The recipient of a DGA award for his support of the arts, he is currently artistic director of the Austin Film Society, which he founded in 1985 and which continues to distribute grants to Texas lmmakers. Mike White is an American writer, director, actor, and producer for television and lm, and the winner of the Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award for Chuck & Buck. White made his directorial debut in 2007 with Year of the Dog. He is the cocreator, coexecutive producer, and writer of the HBO series Enlightened, in which he also appears.

Once Upon a Quantum Symmetry: Science and Cinema

Presented by Sundance Institute and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
Tuesday, January 22, 2:30 p.m. Egyptian Theatre, Park City #Sloan Ticket required
Ever since Mlis shot a rocket to the moon, cinema has had a wondrous fascination with science and technology. Movies can show us the working science of today, and with surprising prescience, the science of tomorrow. During our 10-year collaboration with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which aims to encourage more realistic and compelling stories about science and technology themes and characters, weve traveled from synapses in the brain to distant universeshitting an innite number of galaxies along the way, and proving that both scientists and lmmakers are creative, imaginative, speculative, and adventurous. Paula Apsell (moderator), director of the WGBH Science Unit and senior executive producer of the nations most watched science series, PBSs NOVA, has overseen hundreds of acclaimed, award-winning science documentaries, including The Fabric of the Cosmos with Brian Greene.
Darren Aronofsky won the 1998 Sundance Film Festival Directing Award for his rst feature, Pi. His other lms Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, The Fountain, and Black Swanhave garnered numerous Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Independent Spirit Award nominations and wins.

Changing the direction of a national discourse can seem like an impossible task, but sometimes new narratives inspire a surprising sea-change. From immigration to the economy to democratic values, this years lms suggest how storytelling can reset the discourse around hot-button issues. What happens when change itself gets a PR campaign? Artists and activists Pablo Larran (No), Gael Garca Bernal (Who Is Dayani Cristal?, No), Jehane Noujaim (The Square), and Robert Reich (Inequality for All) join moderator Orlando Bagwell (Ford Foundation | JustFilms) to explore the ways creative approaches to storytelling can alter the course of history. Supported by the Ford Foundation.
Behavioral research tells us that people who are called upon to act are less inclined to do so if they are part of a large group. But some individuals choose to act on principle, no matter what the cost. Join lawyer Brandy Alexander (Gideons Army), Rev. Kapya Kaoma (God Loves Uganda), author and environmentalist Mark Lynas (Pandoras Promise), and moderator Jennifer Robinson (Bertha Foundation) to explore what happens when your sense of justice changes your life.
Whats exciting about the work of women directors in the Festival this year is the range of narratives and storytelling styles. Many are pushing boundaries; others look to recover our humanity. Sexuality abounds, as do coming-of-age stories (by both youth and adults). But these womens lms are distinguished by their fully realized, contemporary, selfpossessed female characters. Join Eliza Hittman (It Felt Like Love), Jerusha Hess (Austenland), Lake Bell (In a World), Lynn Shelton (Touchy Feely), Naomi Foner (Very Good Girls), Stacie Passon (Concussion) and moderator Sharon Swart to see what unites them, if anything.
If women comprise roughly 50 percent of the labor force, why are only 2to5 percent of directors helming top Hollywood movies female? This shocking statistic had us wondering how women fare behind the camera in independent lm. Learn about a landmark study and see what comes up when the worlds foremost researcher on women and media, USCs force of nature, Professor Stacy Smith, discusses her fascinating ndings with another force of nature, Academy Awardwinning Producer Cathy Schulman.

The majority of indie releases come through digital aggregators with short-term distribution deals and limited marketing budgets. How then do producers utilize windowing, marketing, publicity, and audience engagement to maximize revenue over a short period? In case studies that demystify the process, the teams behind Middle of Nowhere and BONES BRIGADE present their release models, outlining their strategy and supplying the data to back it up, while our panel of executives debates the results.
Whether covering ground wars, drug wars, or a war on terror, journalists undertake enormous risks to uphold Americans right to know whats done in the name of democracy, revealing the human costs and truths veiled in secrecy. Sebastian Junger (Which Way Is The Front Line From Here?), Jeremy Scahill (Dirty Wars), Peter Bergen (MANHUNT), Shaul Schwarz (Narco Cultura), James Ball (We Steal Secrets), and moderator Stephen Engelberg (ProPublica) walk us through the war zones and the corridors of power.
Its hard to depict the dawn of the digital era without some nostalgia or even loss of innocence. That watershed moment unleashed an overwhelming deluge of technology, innovation, and fundamental changes in the way we live, not to mention our relationship with nature and our spirituality. Join Ben Lewis and Evgeny Morozov (Google and the World Brain), Andrew Bujalski (Computer Chess), and Joshua Stern (jOBS) for this panel that reects on the ways this technology revolution has both advanced our civilization and imperiled it.

2012 GAYle STeVeNs VOluNTeer AwArD WiNNer: KellY RusK
SUNDANCE.ORG/FESTIVAL FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS
For more than 10 years, Kelly Rusk has been a compassionate and dedicated volunteer for the Institute. Beginning her volunteer career in the Sundance Film Festival box ofce, Kelly has served as a theatre manager at both the Yarrow Theatre and, most recently, the Holiday Village Cinemas. Her service extends far beyond her outstanding work at the Festival; she has been on the Volunteer Council for three years and has helped the continuing growth and success of the volunteer program through her valuable insight and suggestions. Kelly always keeps things moving along with that signature smile on her face at the Holiday Village Cinemas. Those who have had the pleasure to work with her appreciate her focus as theatre manager and the professionalism she brings to the table. She serves as a great role model for both new and alumni volunteers and embodies the true spirit of what it means to be a Festival volunteer. The Sundance Film Festival is grateful to Kelly Rusk for her continued service and passion for its mission. Previous Gayle Stevens Volunteer Award winners are Jeff Aguirre (2011), Cindy Lund (2010), and Debbie Read (2009).
