Mar 20 (Sat) 4 pm. After almost fifty years of marriage, the Countess Sofya (Helen Mirren), Leo Tolstoy’s (Christopher Plummer) devoted wife, passionate lover, muse and secretary suddenly finds her entire world turned upside down. In the name of his newly created religion, the great Russian novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and even celibacy. After she’s born him thirteen children! When Sofya then discovers that Tolstoy’s trusted disciple, Chertkov (Paul Giamatti)—whom she despises—may have secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will, leaving the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his very own family, she is consumed by righteous outrage.

Director: Erwin Wagenhofer
Special Guest: Dr. Michael McLaughlin, Economist
A revealing look at our current financial system, this film follows your money from when you deposit it in the bank, through the global money market and finance system. Interviews with some of the biggest and most ruthless players in international finance and economic theory will make your jaw drop. More shocking are the public policies that facilitate the transfer of public money into private hands and the myriad ways they ensure the money never “trickles down.” This must-see film also exposes global environmental impacts that have been invisible.

Director: Lone Scherfig
Script by Lynn Barber & British author Nick Hornby
A coming-of-age story about teenage Jenny (Carey Mulligan) in 1960s suburban London. Her parents are determined their daughter will have an Oxford education and a better life than they had, but Jenny’s life changes with the arrival of David (Peter Sarsgaard), a playboy nearly twice her age. Envisioning the lifestyle David can provide, Jenny goes from being a bright, diligent student to questioning her own values and parental pressure for Oxford academia. Emma Thompson stars as the school’s starchy headmistress and Alfred Molina, as Jenny’s father, brilliantly portrays what a greedy parent will do to relieve financial pressures.
“Mulligan exudes a sparkler-like intellectual charm that never quite manages to hide the confused teenager within.” (Chris Barsanti – New York Film Critics On-line)
Won the Audience Choice award and Cinema_tography award at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
