France | 2013 | 106 min • Narrative Feature Director/Writer: Sylvain Chomet Producers: Chris Bolzli, Claudie Ossard Paul is a sweet man-child, raised — and smothered — by his two eccentric aunts in Paris since the death of his parents when he was a toddler. Now thirty-three, he still does not speak. He does express himself through colorful suits that would challenge any Wes Anderson character in nerd chic. Paul's aunts have only one dream for him: to win piano competitions. Although Paul practices dutifully, he remains unfulfilled until he submits to the interventions of his upstairs neighbor. Suitably named after the novelist, Madame Proust offers Paul a concoction that unlocks repressed memories from his childhood and awakens the most delightful of fantasies.

1/31/2015 Page 13 SIFF 2015 PROGRAMS - GENERAL FILM SCREENINGS A-Z The Battle Over Citizen Kane USA | 1996 | 113 min • Documentary Feature Directors/Producer: Michael Epstein, Thomas Lennon Writers: Richard Ben Cramer, Thomas Lennon "The Battle Over Citizen Kane" is a 1996 documentary about the clash between newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst and actor/writer/director Orson Welles over Welles' motion picture "Citizen Kane", which is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. In "Citizen Kane", Welles plays Charles Foster Kane, whose fictional life partially mirrors that of Hearst's. However, Chicago inventor and utilities magnate Samuel Insull, Chicago Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick, and even Welles' own life were used in creating Kane. In 1939, based partly on the strength of his imaginative and successful New York plays which were produced under the aegis of the Mercury Theatre (such as an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth, which featured an all-black cast and was set in the jungle), and the infamy of his October 30, 1938 radio broadcast of H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds which sent residents of Grover's Mill, New Jersey into a panic, Orson Welles was able to negotiate a virtually unheard-of two-picture deal with RKO Pictures, the smallest of the 'big five' major studios in this era. The deal gave him creative control under a budget limit. "The Battle Over Citizen Kane" also details the lives of Orson Welles and William Randolph Hearst before Citizen Kane, Hearst's manipulation of the heads of the four largest Hollywood studios: Columbia Pictures, Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount Pictures, and Warner Bros. to combine their efforts and financial strength to buy the camera negative of the film from RKO with the express purpose of destroying it, and how the film affected their lives after the release of the film. The film will be hosted by Orson's daughter, Beatrice Welles, and Ray Kelly, renowned writer and head of Wellesnet, the leading online source about the life and career of Orson Welles.

1/31/2015 Page 17 SIFF 2015 PROGRAMS - GENERAL FILM SCREENINGS A-Z Capturing Grace USA | 2013 | 74 min • Documentary Feature Director/Writer/Producer: Dave Iverson Executive Producers: Kiki Kapany, Michael Schwarz, Shirley Kessler It seems like two disparate realms. One is occupied by some of the most acclaimed dancers in the world, people who move for a living. The other is occupied by people who often struggle to move, people who have Parkinson's disease. This is the story of what happens when those different worlds intersect. For a year, we followed a group of individuals with Parkinson's as they prepared to stage a first ever dance performance, under the tutelage of two long time principal dancers at the Mark Morris Dance Group. It's a story about what each group learns from the other. It's a story about determination, adversity, contending with doubt, the transformative power of art and the strength of the human spirit. As Parkinson's dance participant Reggie Butts puts it, when the music starts, he says, there are no patients, there are only dancers. This is the story of a remarkable community of dancers, some professional and some not, who have come together to rediscover the meaning of grace. Preceded By: Dance Your Asperger's Off USA | 2013 | 23 min Documentary Short

Argentina | 2014 | 21 min Narrative Short
Cazaux, Alan Sabbagh, Luz Palazon "In the Clouds" explores the complicated — and often comedic — space between how we 'think' romance should work and how it actually does. Set all around Buenos Aires during one momentous week in the lives of Mariela, an Argentinean illustrator, and Oliver, an American dog food executive working abroad, the film takes a look at conflicting cultural disagreements about intimacy and the way the once-simple idea of a marriage proposal has taken on an increasingly public, and sometimes ridiculous, weight in this golden age of YouTube.

1/31/2015 Page 20 SIFF 2015 PROGRAMS - GENERAL FILM SCREENINGS A-Z Chimes at Midnight France/Spain/Switzerland | 1965 | 113 min • Narrative Feature Director: Orson Welles Producers: Angel Escolano, Emiliano Piedra, Harry Saltzman Writers: William Shakespeare, Orson Welles, Raphael Holinshed Cast: Orson Welles, Jeanne Moreau, Margaret Rutherford, John Gielgud "If I wanted to get into heaven on the basis of one movie, that's the one I'd offer up." – Orson Welles on "Chimes at Midnight". In a career that included such masterpieces as "Citizen Kane", "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "Touch of Evil", "Chimes at Midnight" stands as Orson Welles’s crowning achievement, a rich, human story that fascinated him since childhood. It has been seldom seen because of distribution issues. Therefore, its presence at the Sedona International Film Festival during the centenary of Welles’s birth is truly cause for celebration. Focusing on themes of friendship and betrayal, Chimes at Midnight examines the shifting relationship between Prince Hal and his debaucherous companion, the corpulent Sir John Falstaff. The script utilizes text from William Shakespeare’s Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2, Henry V and The Merry Wives of Windsor, as well as narration from Holinshed’s Chronicles. "Chimes at Midnight" can trace its lineage back to the Todd School for Boys in Woodstock, Illinois, where a 15- year-old Welles in 1930 first adapted several Shakespearean plays into a single work entitled The Winter of Our Discontent. With his Mercury Theatre troupe, Welles returned to the concept of re-editing Shakespeare for his 1939 play Five Kings. Burgess Meredith played Hal opposite Welles’s Falstaff with a score composed by Aaron Copland. Welles revisited the story with an even greater emphasis on the relationship between Hal and Falstaff for the 1960 Irish stage production "Chimes at Midnight". Welles again played Falstaff, but this time with Keith Baxter as Hal. Some performances took place at the Gate Theater in Dublin, the stage where Welles began his professional career at the age of 16. The motion picture adaptation of "Chimes at Midnight" was filmed in Spain between the fall 1964 and spring 1965 with the backing of Spanish film producers Emiliano Piedra and Ángel Escolano and Harry Saltzman, who co- produced the James Bond films. Alessandro Tasca served as executive producer. As he had done a decade earlier with Othello, Welles invested his own money into the project. Welles and Baxter continued in the roles they had played on stage in Belfast and Dublin. They were joined by John Gielgud (King Henry IV), Margaret Rutherford (Mistress Quickly), and Jeanne Moreau (Doll Tearsheet) with Ralph Richardson providing narration. Beatrice Welles, the director’s youngest daughter, reprised her stage role as Falstaff’s young page. "Chimes at Midnight" contains moments of cinematic spectacle and intimate reflection. It is, as Roger Ebert once proclaimed, “a film to treasure.” The film will be hosted by Orson's daughter, Beatrice Welles, and Ray Kelly, renowned writer and head of Wellesnet, the leading online source about the life and career of Orson Welles.
