Netherlands | 2001 | 115 min • Narrative Feature Director/Writer: Rolf de Heer Producers: Michelle de Broca, Julie Ryan Cast: Richard Dreyfuss, Timothy Spall, Hugo Weaving Based on the novel by Luis Sepulveda, "The Old Man Who Read Love Stories" stars Richard Dreyfuss as Antonio Bolivar, an elderly man who lives in a small village along the Amazon River. Many years ago, Boliver and his young wife came to the village as part of an effort to colonize the area. The couple was welcomed by Nushino (Victor Bottenbley), leader of the native tribes, but after a fever took the life of his spouse and attacks by fortune seekers caused the natives to turn their backs on the white settlers, Bolivar has been virtually alone, with only one close friend in the village, an aging dentist named Rubicondo (Hugo Weaving). Bolivar passes his time by reading florid romance novels passed along to him by Josefina (Cathy Tyson), Rubicondo's mistress who works as an aide for the village's mayor, Luis Agalla (Timothy Spall). Agalla, not an especially scrupulous man, has been selling illegal hunting permits to visitors hunting big game, and one of his customers made the mistake of killing and skinning a pack of jaguar cubs; the mother of the cats found the hunter, and tore him to shreds. Now likely to attack any human she sees, the mother jaguar is roaming the jungle near the village and must be found before she can kill again, and Bolivar steps forward to help with the dangerous assignment of finding and capturing the vicious cat.

Almost instinctively they know that their well-being, indeed their survival, depend on knowledge and education. From the dangerous savannahs of Kenya to the winding trails of the Atlas mountains in Morocco, from the suffocating heat of Southern India to the vast, dizzying plateaux of Patagonia, these children are all united by the same quest, the same dream. Jackson, Zahira, Samuel and Carlito are the heroes of “On the Way to School”, a film that interweaves the four pupils forced to confront and overcome countless, often dangerous obstacles — enormous distances over treacherous territory, snakes, elephants, even bandits — on their journey to the classroom. By setting foot on their extraordinary path, by embarking on this adventure littered with traps and challenges, they will begin to leave their childhoods behind. Pascal Plisson’s film recounts the journey of initiation that will change their lives forever. Preceded By: School's Out: Lessons from a Forest Kindergarten USA | 2013 | 36 min Documentary Feature

1/31/2015 Page 58 SIFF 2015 PROGRAMS - GENERAL FILM SCREENINGS A-Z The Overnighters USA | 2014 | 102 min • Documentary Feature Director/Writer: Jesse Moss Producers: Amanda McBaine, Jesse Moss Desperate, broken men chase their dreams and run from their demons in the North Dakota oil fields. A local Pastor risks everything to help them — risking his own position. In the tiny town of Williston, North Dakota, tens of thousands of unemployed hopefuls show up with dreams of honest work and a big paycheck under the lure of the oil boom. However, busloads of newcomers chasing a broken American Dream step into the stark reality of slim work prospects and nowhere to sleep. The town lacks the infrastructure to house the overflow of migrants, even for those who do find gainful employment. Over at Concordia Lutheran Church, Pastor Jay Reinke is driven to deliver the migrants some dignity. Night after night, he converts his church into a makeshift dorm and counseling center, opening the church’s doors to allow the “Overnighters” (as he calls them) to stay for a night, a week or longer. They sleep on the floor, in the pews and in their cars in the church parking lot. Many who take shelter with Reinke are living on society’s fringes and with checkered pasts, and their presence starts affecting the dynamics of the small community. The congregants begin slinging criticism and the City Council threatens to shut the controversial Overnighters program down, forcing the pastor to make a decision which leads to profound consequences that he never imagined. Winner of the Special Jury Award for Intuitive Filmmaking at last year's Sundance Film Festival.

This documentary is a creative investigation that uncovers who profits from intellectual property and who bears the economic and social consequences. How is it possible that plants, cells and genes are patented at all? The search for answers takes Hannah all around the globe.

She discovers the war strategies that patent attorneys apply and hears Lisbeth Ceriani’s shocking story of her body’s gene that she doesn’t own. In Geneva, Hannah visits the World Intellectual Property Organization and travels to India, the world’s largest manufacturer of generic, meaning patent-free, medicines. She learns what India has come up with to protect its genetic resources and meets Anil Gupta, the “Gandhi of Innovation”. Are patents the only way to inspire innovation? At the end of her journey, Hannah hopes to find an answer to that question in an Arizona desert where a bunch of enthusiasts are building the world’s first open-source cars.

1/31/2015 Page 60 SIFF 2015 PROGRAMS - GENERAL FILM SCREENINGS A-Z A Place to Stand USA | 2014 | 86 min • Documentary Feature Director: Daniel Glick Executive Producers: David Grubin, Taylor Hackford Producers: Daniel Glick, Gabriel Baca "A Place to Stand" is a feature-length documentary about Jimmy Santiago Baca's transformation from a functionally illiterate convict to an award-winning poet, novelist and screenwriter. The film is told through extensive interviews with Baca and dozens who witnessed his transformation: family, former cellmates and poets. The story is complimented by Baca's poetry, animation, artwork, re-creations and historical archives. "A Place to Stand" is inspired by Baca's memoir of the same name, published by Grove Press in 2001, which has been called elegant and gripping (The Los Angeles Times) and an astonishing narrative that affirms the triumph of the human spirit (The Arizona Daily Star). It explores the life and mind of a man whose early life was dominated by sadness, rejection, anger and pain, a man who embraced language as a balm for his battered spirit, a man who — through the power of poetry — finally found his place to stand.

1/31/2015 Page 62 SIFF 2015 PROGRAMS - GENERAL FILM SCREENINGS A-Z The Power of the Heart Netherlands | 2014 | 84 min • Documentary Feature Director: Drew Heriot Producer: Alain de Levita Writers: Drew Heriot, Baptist de Pape Not since “The Secret” has there been such a groundbreaking film that warrants the excitement being generated by “The Power of the Heart”. A breathtaking film featuring the wisdom of Dr. Maya Angelou, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Gary Zukav and the stories of souls transformed by love, all over the world, “The Power of the Heart” has the potential to generate a quantum leap in humankind's capacity for love, connectedness, compassion, and understanding. “The Power of the Heart” is being released in conjunction with the book, The Power of the Heart, which has been translated into nearly 20 languages. The film is written and directed by Drew Heriot, the Director of “The Secret”. “The Power of the Heart” shares new insight about the intelligence of the heart and the life-changing energy within it. In the film, we discover how the human heart noticeably reacts to images seen or yet to be seen, before the mind or body does. “We did an experiment and we actually discovered something quite remarkable,” says Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Director of Research and the Heart Math Institute. “The heart seems to be connected to a type of intuition that is not bound by the limits of time and space. But what is that intuition and how can we learn to tap into more of that?” The producers also conduct in-depth interviews with spiritual influencers who share personal stories and reflections about grief, love, and passion, and offer guidance on how to listen to one’s heart for powerful realization and change to occur.

1/31/2015 Page 63 SIFF 2015 PROGRAMS - GENERAL FILM SCREENINGS A-Z Queers in the Kingdom: Let Your Light Shine USA | 2014 | 74 min • Documentary Feature Director/Writer: Markie Hancock Executive Producer: Kathryn Gregorio Featuring: Randall Balmer, Anthea Butler, Darren Dochuk, Kathryn Lofton If you are a student on a Christian College campus you were probably raised in an evangelical, Christian home. You went to church regularly and were told that being gay (or lesbian, bisexual, transgender) was a sin and that you were going to hell. You were told this over and over by your parents, Sunday school teachers, youth leaders and pastors. If you arrive on campus and are struggling with your sexuality you will think that you are going to hell, that being gay is the worst sin and that, if anyone finds out, you will be expelled. This scenario has deep roots in the evangelical history of the United States where Bible-based homophobia is normative and discrimination by churches and Christian Colleges is accepted. "Queers in the Kingdom: Let Your Light Shine" tracks both the evangelical history of this nation and the emergence of OneWheaton — a group of LGBTQ alumni and allies from Wheaton College (Billy Graham's Alma Mater). OneWheaton resists the silencing and shame that has lead to a suicide on campus. They take action to support current students and each other as many connect to their backgrounds and college experience for the first time.

1/31/2015 Page 65 SIFF 2015 PROGRAMS - GENERAL FILM SCREENINGS A-Z Rich Hill USA | 2014 | 91 min • Documentary Feature Directors/Producer: Andrew Droz Palermo, Tracy Droz Tragos Look inside the homes and lives of small-town, rural America, where isolated kids confront heart-breaking choices, marginalized parents struggle to survive, and, despite it all, families cling to the promise of equal opportunity and a better life some day. Rich Hill, Missouri (population 1393). Off the highway, next to the railroad track. Andrew, 14, works on his bike, talks dreams with his dad, practices dance moves with his twin sister. He’s just like a lot of American teenagers, except that his days are often also about survival. Harley, 15, lives with his grandma and eight other members of his extended family because his mom is in prison for attempted murder. Still, Harley is the first guy in the room to crack a joke and make you laugh when you least expect it. Appachey, 13, finds solace in skateboards and, despite his intelligence, has had to repeat the 6th grade, which doesn’t come close to fixing what’s broken in his life. These boys can be tough — they know how to walk with a clenched-jaw stare like they have nothing to lose. But when you get to know them up-close, you see their insight, their humor, and their determination to survive. And despite the isolation and brutality of their circumstances, their hope for a brighter future persists. They imagine that their hard work will be rewarded, and that, although there is no road map or role model, even they can live the American dream.
