SUMMARY:QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM   (Romania)
DESCRIPTION:US Premiere at NEW DIRECTORS / NEW FILMS FESTIVAL -New York\, March 2014.   Romania\, mid-1980’s\, Sorin (Sorin Leoveanu) a gifted mathematician whose career advancement is blocked because he is not a member of the Communist party\, comes to the attention of the security services after he secretly arranges for an academic paper on his new theorem to be published in an American journal.  With practiced insidiousness\, the Securitate start their investigation\, led by Voican (Florin Piersic\, Jr.) who sets about pressuring Sorin’s friends and colleagues to inform on him.  Making a strong and engrossing addition to a body of films from the New Romanian Cinema that delve into the years of dictatorship.  Andrei Gruzsniczki’s low-key but quietly tense drama of compromise and betrayal re-creates the period with painstaking accuracy and captures both the atmosphere of mistrustful cautiousness and resigned discontent of its populace and the petty banality of the regime’s methods of surveillance and control. … Film Society of  Lincoln Center \nWriter|Director:  Andrei Gruzsniczki\nRunning time:  107 min.\nGenre:  Drama\nDistributor:  ICONproduction\nCountry:  Romania\nLanguage:  Romanian w|English subtitles\nStarring:  Sorin Leoveanu\, Ofelia Popii\, Florin Piersic Jr.\nRating:  N|R \nFESTIVALS:  Rome Film Festival\, Italy; International Film Festival Vilnius\, Lithuania; Karlovy Vary Film Festival\, Czech Republic; Jerusalem Film Festival\, Israel; Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival\, Brazil; Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Greece; Arras Film Festival\, France; USA: Seattle International Film Festival\, New Directors/New Films\, New York; Making Waves: New Romanian Cinema\, NY \nAWARDS:  Special Jury Prize\, Andrei Gruzsniczki\, Rome Film Fest \n“Everything about this film looks and feels authentic\, and the way the film stock captures gray shadings digital can’t\, is a pleasure to see.  But what’s most important is how the viewer gets to feel the way the system makes betrayal of one’s values and one’s intimates inevitable.” Filmleaf

SUMMARY:CLOSED SEASON /ENDE DER SCHONZEIT   (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:Bruno\, a young German entomology student\, travels to an Israeli kibbutz\, but he is not seeking a romantic experience in the young Zionist state\, nor will he make any scientific discoveries. Before her death\, Bruno’s mother told him to deliver a letter to Avi\, a German-born Jewish member of the kibbutz. Reluctantly\, Avi shares his story from 1942 with the young man. During the war\, while fleeing to Switzerland to escape the Nazis\, Avi was saved by the brutish\, hard-working peasant Fritz\, a man as remote as the mountains of the Black Forest he calls home. This is the story of Fritz and Emma who are hiding Albert\, a Jewish refugee\, at their remote farm in the Black Forest. Since his marriage with Emma has remained childless\, Fritz uses the situation to suggest an unorthodox arrangement: He asks Albert to sleep with his wife and conceive a child on his behalf. The consequences are dramatic: Emma discovers her sexuality\, Fritz cannot control his jealousy and Albert feels trapped between the two of them. Against the background of war\, an unpredictable drama unfolds that turns offenders into victims and vice versa.\nNOTE: Adult Content \nDirector: Franziska Schlotterer\nScreenplay: Franziska Schlotterer\, Gwendolyn Bellmann\nRunning time: 104 min\nDistributor: Menemsha Films\nGenre: Drama |History\nCountry: Germany\, Israel \nFESTIVALs: Filmfest Munich 2012\, Biberacher Filmfestspielen 2012\, Kinofest Lünen 2012\, Montreal World Film Festival 2012\, Plus Camerimage 2012\, Official selection 2013 Berlinale\, Atlanta Jewish Film Festival 2013\, San Diego Jewish Film Festival 2013\, Toronto Jewish Film Festival 2013 \nAWARDS: Best Film Lünen 2012\, Best Actress & Ecumenical Film Prize Montreal 2012\, Bavarian Film Award 2013 (Best Leading Actress) \n  \nTrailer: http://youtu.be/pyLOVP8Qf3A

SUMMARY:MY GERMAN FRIEND   (Germany & Argentina)
DESCRIPTION:COACHELLA VALLEY PREMIERE \nAfter the war\, Nazis and Jews alike fled to Argentina to escape war crime tribunals and the horrendous persecution of the past\, respectively.  Each brings with them an intense dislike of the other\, trying their best to begin new lives\, but the ghosts of the past sometimes never let go.   \nTwo families\, one Jewish\, and one German\, are neighbors.  The film is a story about their children’s lifetime close relationship.   \nIn her new film\, MY GERMAN FREND\, Jeanine Meerapfel uses striking images to express a radical love\, a love which first has to find its bearings between Germany and Argentina\, between the political and the personal\, between memories and the future.  Meerapfel digs deep into the German past and tells a tale of the paradox of romantic love in the face of collective guilt. \nIt is against the magnificent backdrop of Patagonia that Jeanine Meerapfel sets this vagrant love\, a love which must first rid itself of the ghosts of the past. Imaginative cinematography\, great actors and a penetrating look at the forces of the past make My German Friend visually stunning cinema dealing in grand emotions. \nRunning time:  100 min\nGenre:  Drama|Romance|War\nLanguage:  Spanish & German\nDirector & Producer:  Jeanine Meerapfel\nDistributor:  Corinth Films

SUMMARY:POUR UNE FEMME/FOR A WOMAN   (France)
DESCRIPTION:COACHELLA VALLEY PREMIERE \nAnne has a very active imagination\, only natural for a writer. But in her mid-thirties\, she still knows practically nothing of her own family’s past. After her mother’s death\, Anne discovers old photos and letters that convince her to take a closer look at the life of her parents\, Michael and Léna. The young couple met in the concentration camps during World War II\, later moving to France to start their new life together. Soon\, Anne’s research into their ties to Lyon’s communist party reveals the existence of a mysterious uncle\, Jean\, whom everyone seems intent on forgetting entirely. As she gradually closes in on the discovery she didn’t know she was looking for\, her father grows ever more ill\, and may take the secret that kept them apart for so long to his grave. Anne’s destiny intertwines with her father’s past until they form a single\, unforgettable story. Inspired by the director’s own family history\, this beautifully crafted historical melodrama goes back and forth between the immediate post WWII period and 1980’s France. \nWriter/Director: Diane Kurys\nStarring: Benoit Magimel\, Mélanie Thierry\, Nicolas Duvauchelle\nLanguage: French w/English subtitles\nGenre: Drama\nRuntime: 110 minutes\nDistributor: Film Movement\nRating: N/R\n“Luminous!

SUMMARY:JIMMY P.: PSYCHOTHERAPY OF A PLAINS INDIAN   (France - in English)
DESCRIPTION:COACHELLA VALLEY PREMIERE \n  \nIn the late 1940s\, at the progressive Menninger Clinic\, two mavericks bonded\, not simply as therapist and patient\, but as friends united by their personal experiences as outsiders. Arnaud Desplechin’s extraordinarily intelligent and moving adaptation of Georges Devereux’s landmark work of ethnographicpsychoanalysis stars Benecio Del Toro as the titular Jimmy P\, a Blackfoot Indian and World War II veteran suffering from what initially seems like severe posttraumatic stress\, and Mathieu Amalric as Devereux\, a Hungarian Jew who reinvented himself many times over before coming to the US to study Mohave Indian culture. Both actors are at the top of their game and their interaction makes the best case for the “Talking Cure” ever depicted in a fiction film. … Film Society of Lincoln Center \n“Highly absorbing… Benicio Del Toro and Mathieu Amalric [are] working at the top of their craft.” —Scott Foundas\, Variety \n“A superb\, engrossing picture.” —Stephanie Zacharek\, Village Voice \n“A film of subtle understatement… A solid platform for the charismatic talents of Benicio Del Toro and Mathieu Amalric.” —Mark Adams\, Screen Daily \n“MARVELOUS. POIGNANT. EXTRAORDINARILY IDIOSYNCRATIC. The best and most moving case for psychoanalysis ever dramatized on film.” Amy Taubin\, Film Comment \n  \nWriter | Director: Arnaud Desplechin \nStarring: Benicio Del Toro\, Mathieu Amalric\, Gina McKee \nRunning time: 117 min. \nGenre: Drama \nDistributor: IFC Films \nCountry: France | USA \nLanguage: English \nRating: N|R \nFESTIVALS:  Cannes Film Festival\, France; Film by the Sea Film Festival\, Netherlands; Festival du Film Français d’Helvétie de Bienne\, Switzerland; USA: New York Film Festival\, Hamptons International Film Festival\, Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival\, Red Nation Film Festival\, LA; Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival\, Portugal; Seville European Film Festival\, Spain; Auteur Film Festival\, Belgrade\, Serbia \nOfficial Website w/Press Kit and Trailer: http://www.ifcfilms.com/films/jimmy-p \n
