THE PIANO TUNER OF EARTHQUAKES

CLIMATES
"This film paints a haunting portrait of existential solitude, one in which the images speak louder and often more forcefully than do any of the words." Manohla Dargis, The New York Times.
Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize and nominated for the Golden Palm at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, this visually stunning film explores the fragility of love and the complexity of failing relationships.

JESUS CAMP
"At heart, all documentaries aim to be important films. Few actually pull it off. Minor flaws and all, Jesus Camp, is among the year's most important films." Neva Chonin, San Francisco Chronicle.
Nominated for the 2007 Academy Award for Best Documentary and directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, directors of the critically acclaimed film, "The Boys of Baraka," this documentary explores life at a Kids on Fire summer camp in Devil's Lake, North Dakota. The camp is an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America's political future.
PG-13; 84 minutes
THE 2006 OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS
Celebrate the Oscars by actually getting to see the nominees before the winners are announced! Magnolia Pictures and Shorts International team up to present the 2006 Academy Award nominated live action and animated short films.
THE ITALIAN
"There is something slightly magical about the lighting, almost as if this were a fantasy land from which Vanya might actually make an escape. The sense of unreality, of magical thinking and wishing, carries the story and Vanya through a remarkable journey." Manohla Dargis, The New York Times.
In his feature directorial debut, Andrei Kravchuk addresses with intelligence and poignancy the urgent issue of illegal adoption in Russia. The Italian is based on the true story of a small boy abandoned in an orphanage who begins a journey in search of his birth mother.
