Look Out! – 2008

Hard, harder, hardest! This film orders you from the start to turn up the volume and pay attention. “Look out! We’re Coming to Get You!” is a flood of images driven by a tempest of guitars. The film’s creators jam 20 years of German music history into 120 minutes of film. Musicians from BLIND PASSENGERS, DIE SKEPTIKER, SANDOW and other bands explode their way through the film. Fans of the DEFA documentary “Flüstern und Schreien” (“Whisper and Shout”) already know the stars of that film, Aljoscha, Paul and Flake of the band Feeling B. Here they have a chance to see how these musicians survived the period after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the “escalation of possibilities” that came with it. And you’re allowed to laugh, too!

Ten Dead Men – 2008

You cant outrun your past. That is the extremely painful lesson that Ryan (Brendan Carr)is learning right now, as spectres of his past life of crime have returned to haunt him, destroying the only person he holds dear, and nearly killing him in the process. Ryan decides that if he cannot escape then he must confront them head-on in what can only be called a desperate suicide run.

Nights and Weekends – 2008

A man and woman must face the tension that builds between them during a long-distance relationship.

Candy Rain – 2008

An omnibus film about four lesbian relationships, Candy Rain leads off with a tale of two old friends (Grace Chen and Belle Hsin), who are tested by their burgeoning lesbian relationship. They sleep together and bask in each other’s company, but minor differences get in the way of a smooth ride to happily ever after, leading to an inevitable break up and a possible make up. Story two centers on an OCD-suffering introvert (Sandrine Pinna) who works as a chef and meets possible partners online. Her new girl is a forward older woman (Waa, doing her best Bai Ling impression), and the two manage some semblance of relationship progression before clashing personalities – and one partner’s irrational need for loneliness – gets in the way of extended bliss.

Down to the Dirt – 2008

Thirty-year-old Keith Kavanagh (Joel Thomas Hynes) ekes his way through life in a small town. A hard-drinking hooligan, he keeps his ragged collection of poetry a closely guarded secret… as secret as his regret for the shattered relationship with his father. When Keith meets the darkly exotic Natasha (Mylène Savoie), his life is changed forever.

Sita Sings the Blues – 2008

An animated version of the epic Indian tale of Ramayana set to the 1920s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw.

Harlan: In the Shadow of Jew Süss – 2008

Though almost forgotten today, Veit Harlan was one of Nazi Germany’s most notorious filmmakers. His most perfidious film was the treacherous anti-Semitic propaganda film Jud Süß – required viewing for all SS members. An unrepentant and blindly obsessive craftsman, no figure – save for Leni Riefenstahl – is as closely associated with the cinema of the Holocaust years. (Harlan’s epic Kolberg was the basis for Inglourious Basterds’s pivotal film-within-a-film Stolz Der Nation.) This documentary is an eye-opening examination of World War II film history as well as the story of a German family from the Third Reich to the present; one that is marked by reckoning, denial and liberation.
