SCREENING SCHEDULE:
Monday, August 9, 2010 7:30 pm
AMERICAN MOVIE (1999, dir. Chris Smith)
It takes a village to make a movie, but when that village is Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin and not Hollywood, CA, the results are at times bizarre, comical and very American. With the help of his mother, his 82 year-old uncle, and a local cast of hilarious and lovable characters, filmmaker Mark Borchardt fights his way through internal and external roadblocks to achieve his goal – to make his movie, his way. Spanning over two years of intense struggle with his film, his family, financial decline and spiritual crisis, AMERICAN MOVIE is a portrayal of ambition, obsession, excess and one man’s quest for the American Dream.

THE INVENTION OF DR. NAKAMATS (2009, dir. Kaspar Astrup Schroder)
Meet Dr. NakaMats, octogenarian, demi-god in his native Japan, and the world’s most prolific inventor, holding over 3,300 patents. Edison by comparison had only 1,093. Some of his most famous include: the floppy disk, the CD, the DVD, the taxi cab meter, Cinemascope and even Karaoke. Here, in a vivid, often comic tour de force, Danish filmmaker Kaspar Asrtrup Schröeder takes us through the eccentric world of the great man.

With live musical score by Dark Dark Dark
2010, 85 mins. Directed by Todd Chandler. In this road movie on a river, partly filmed near Socrates, four musicians who build boats out of junk embark on a voyage down the Hudson River. Music is integral to this film, which combines elements of narrative and small-town concert scenes.

2009, 75 mins. Directed by Tomm Moore and Nora Twomey. A surprise Oscar nominee for Best Animated Film, The Secret of Kells follows the adventures of 12-year old Brendan on a dangerous mission to help complete a magical illuminated manuscript.

from the CZECH REPUBLIC
With support from the Czech Center New York
1966, 74 mins. Directed by Vera Chytilová. This playful, wildly subversive comedy is one of the masterpieces of the Czech New Wave.

INDIA
2008, 82 mins. Directed by Nina Paley. This acclaimed independent animated feature depicts the personal narrative of the filmmaker's marital breakup through a reinvention and modernization of the Indian classic 'The Ramayana.'

Wednesday, August 11 MID-AUGUST LUNCH
ITALY
2010, 75 mins. Directed by Gianni Di Gregorio.

Wednesday, August 18 THE WIND JOURNEYS
COLOMBIA
2009, 117 mins. Directed by Ciro Guerra. A retired musician and his initially unwelcome teenage companion go on a journey across Northern Colombia to return a cursed accordion.
