| This heartbreaking and hilarious Sundance Film Festival hit follows the lives of four real teenagers—a jock, the popular girl, the artsy girl and the geek—in one small town in Indiana through their senior year of high school. We see the insecurities, the cliques, the jealousies, the first loves and heartbreaks, and the struggle to make profound decisions about the future. With extraordinary intimacy and a great deal of humor, the film captures the pressures of growing up—pressures that come from one's peers, one's parents, and not least, oneself. Filming daily for ten months, filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes, The Kid Stays in the Picture) developed a deep understanding of her subjects. The result is a film that goes beyond the enduring stereotypes of high school to render complex young people trying to find their way into adulthood. Official Web Site |

Evelyn Waugh’s heartbreaking romantic epic tells an evocative story
of forbidden love and the loss of innocence in the pre-WWII era. Charles Ryder
(Matthew Goode) becomes entranced with the noble Marchmain family, first through
the charming and provocative Sebastian Flyte (Ben Whishaw), and then his sophisticated
sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell). The rise and fall of Charles’ infatuations
reflect the decline of a decadent era in England between the wars. Co-starring
Michael Gambon, Greta Scacchi and Emma Thompson as Lady Marchmain. Directed
by Julian Jarrold (Becoming Jane). Official Web Site |

| The comedy hit of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival is the irreverent tale of one teacher's overzealous quest to mount a high school musical. Steve Coogan stars as Dana Marsch, a failed actor turned high school drama teacher. Shortchanged in the talent department, Dana still harbors ambitions and passions. At work, that is; his personal life, with his dissatisfied wife (Catherine Keener) and their border (David Arquette), leaves much to be desired. With his department under threat of closure, Dana conceives a sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet—a lighthearted musical theatre extravaganza that will disdain both political correctness and dramatic credibility. Despite objections from school officials and outrage in the community, Dana will not be denied his freedom of artistic expression. Co-starring Amy Poehler and Elisabeth Shue. Directed by Andrew Fleming (Dick, The Craft), who co-wrote the screenplay with Pam Brady (South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Team America: World Police). Official Web Site |

There are certain unforgettable moments in history when America has triumphed
against long odds and proved itself to the world: Neil Armstrong setting foot
on the moon; the U.S. Men's Hockey team beating the Soviet Union in the 1980
Olympics. But one such moment has never received the recognition it deserves:
In 1976, a small American winery sent shock waves through the industry by
besting the exalted French wines in a blind tasting, putting California wines
on the map for good. Novice vintner Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman) risked everything
to realize his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted California Chardonnay.
Meanwhile in Paris, struggling wine seller Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman)
came up with an idea for a publicity stunt to help his floundering shop. Little
did Spurrier and Barrett realize they were about to change the history of
wine forever. A dramatic comedy directed by Randall Miller (Marilyn Hotchkiss
Ballroom Dancing & Charm School), co-starring Chris Pine, Rachael
Taylor, Freddy Rodriguez, Eliza Dushku and Dennis Farina. Official
Web Site Director Randall Miller is drawn to stories of passion and risk |
