WHEN PIGS FLY

DREAM ON SILLY DREAMER
USA, 2004, 40 MIN
DIRECTED BY DAN LUND
EAST COAST PREMIERE, 2ND US SHOWING
Once upon a time, more than 1300 animators worked for the Walt Disney Company. They did not live happily ever after. This uniquely drawn sketchbook documentary pays homage to classic Winnie The Pooh shorts as it tells the artists’ stories of love and loss. Contemporaneously recorded while the first workers in California are let go (to be followed by those in Paris, Tokyo, and Orlando), this film captures the predictable pain and confusion that are common to layoffs at any company. The difference is that these firings mark the beginning of the end of the 75-year tradition of hand-drawn animation art around which Walt built his entire company.
FIGHTING FOR LIFE IN THE DEATH-BELT
USA, 2004, 52 MIN
DIRECTED BY JEFF MARKS AND ADAM ELEND
EAST COAST PREMIERE, 2ND US SHOWING
Florida filmmakers Jeff Marks and Adam Elend follow one of the world’s leading anti-death penalty attorneys, Stephen Bright, in his struggle to save his clients as the hours of their executions approach. In his drive to represent Death Row inmates during their final appeals, Bright has given up any semblance of a personal life, and FIGHTING FOR LIFE IN THE DEATH-BELT captures both the importance of his work and the sacrifices involved. The film’s editing increases its nail-biting tension as Bright literally drives all over the South in his saintly efforts. Featuring music and narration by Ani DiFranco.
