PROGRAM: FEATURE FILMS COWBOYS Croatia, 2013, 107 minutes Director: Tomislav Mršić Producer: Suzana Pandek Eight outsiders in a deep Croatian province audition for a theater play, breaking every rule of stage craft. Their shenanigans test the limits of everyone’s good will, most of all that of the hapless director Sacha who has fallen on hard times, his career in the big city’s theater in tatters. The production gets on its merry way with eight loopy characters getting under the hide of the king of all genres: the Western. This screening is supported by Kino Croatia. Tomislav Mršić BOTA Directors Iris Elezi and Thomas Logoreci in person Albania/Italy, 2014, 100 minutes North American Premiere Directors: Iris Elezi, Thomas Logoreci Producers: Andrea Stucovitz, Sabina Kodra Juli and Nora are two young waitresses stuck in a road cafe where middle-aged owner Ben presides over a cast of odd patrons including a construction crew building the new road. Under Juli’s disapproving eyes, Ben juggles an affair with Nora and dreams of expanding his café while secrets from their shared past suddenly awaken this sleepy outpost. This screening is made possible by the generous support from Turkish Airlines. Iris Elezi & Thomas Logoreci TBILISI, I LOVE YOU Director/Producer Agiashvili with several actors and crew in person Georgia, 2015, 93 minutes North American Premiere Directors: Nick Agiashvili, Irakli Chkhikvadze, Levan Glonti, Alexander Kviria, Tako Shavgulidze, Kote Takaishvili, Levan Tutberidze Producers: David Agiashvili, Nick Agiashvili, Emmanuel Benbihy, Jason Speer Tbilisi, I Love You is an ode to the capital of Georgia, another installment of the Cities of Love franchise that started with love letters to Paris, and New York. The familiar episodic structure is in evidence with a series of vignettes, from intimate stories about the contemporary family life, to Tbilisi playing host to international guests. Nick Agiashvili RAT POISON Director Konstantin Burov in person Bulgaria/Romania, 2014, 86 minutes West Coast Premiere Director: Konstantin Burov Producer: Andrei Altaparmakov Four young, petty thieves meet in a juvenile hall on the eve of tectonic changes that swept Eastern Europe with the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the chaos of a lawless transition they strike out on their own, seeking fortunes as well as trying to make sense of their fast-approaching adulthood. Their infectious belief that life is a game they know how to play is the currency these daredevils take all the way to the most unlikely of places: a bank. This screening is made possible by the generous support from Irina Maleeva, the Bulgarian Consul General Marin Dimitrov, and Internet Tours. Konstantin Burov 13
