REMOTE AREA MEDICAL Q&A’s Opening Weekend at the Music Hall

by Leave a Comment

A debate over health care has been raging nationwide, but what’s been lost in the discussion of mandates, payers, pre-existing conditions and deficits are the American citizens who live day after day, year after year without solutions for their most basic needs, afraid of injury and suffering through illness and injury because for them there is no alternative. REMOTE AREA MEDICAL documents the annual three-day “pop-up” medical clinic put on by the non-profit Remote Area Medical (RAM) in the NASCAR speedway in Bristol, Tennessee.

REMOTE AREA MEDICAL co-director Farihah Zaman will participate in Q&A’s after the 7:20 screenings at the Music Hall on Friday and Saturday, December 5 and 6.

by Leave a Comment

UZUMASA LIMELIGHT follows an aged movie extra who specializes the hero’s victim in samurai movies without ever being lit by the limelight. Using Charlie Chaplin’s film Limelight as an underlying theme, the admirable story of Seiichi Kamiyama dealing with a new generation and fading craftsmanship is told with melancholy and soul.

UZUMASA LIMELIGHT director Ken Ochiai and producer Ko Mori will participate in Q&A’s after the 4:20 and 9:50 screenings at the Royal on Friday, December 5; after the 9:50 screening at the Royal on Saturday, December 6; and after the 4:50 screenings at the Playhouse on Saturday and Sunday, December 6 and 7.

by Leave a Comment

Winner of the Audience Award at the international film festival “Kino Pavasaris” in Vilnius 2014, THE INVISIBLE FRONT is the story of one of the 20th centuries most significant anti-Soviet resistance movements, told through the words and experiences of Juozas Luksa and his fellow Forest Brothers. Their war was completely unknown to the public in the West. The Soviet Security forces, fighting against them, dubbed the conflict “The Invisible Front.”

THE INVISIBLE FRONT filmmakers Vincas Sruoginis, Jonas Ohman, and Mark Johnston will participate in Q&A’s after the 7 PM screenings at the Music Hall on Friday and Saturday, November 21 and 22.
