Children of Invention

Children of Invention

Two years after director Tze Chun’s short film “Windowbreaker” played at Sundance, this full-length feature based on the same film received praise at the festival in 2009. CHILDREN OF INVENTION begins with the eviction of Elaine Cheng (Cindy Cheung) and her two children (Michael Chen and Crystal Chiu) from their home, forcing them to squat in an unfinished apartment complex. Elaine attempts to support her family on a number of jobs, but her work at a pyramid scheme endangers her and leaves her children alone. Now Raymond must take care of his younger sister, Tina, with no idea when their mother will return.

Love Ranch

Love Ranch

Actress Helen Mirren and her director-husband, Taylor Hackford, reteam for the first time since 1985’s WHITE NIGHTS for this drama. Grace (Mirren) and Charlie (Joe Pesci) make a fine couple: she provides the mind behind their schemes, while his work as a gangster allows the swindles to be carried out. But a new scam involving a handsome boxer threatens both their plan and their two-decade marriage. LOVE RANCH also stars Gina Gershon, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, and Bai Ling.

Town Called Panic

Town Called Panic

This unusual feature (a French-Belgian-Luxembourgian co-production) stylistically recalls the work of Art Clokey (GUMBY, DAVEY AND GOLIATH), with its lead cast consisting entirely of stop motion-animated children’s toys. The premise concerns two such toys–Cowboy (Stephane Aubier) and Indian (Bruce Ellison)–who plan to buy a birthday gift for their friend Horse (the voice of Vincent Patar) but accidentally destroy his house. A series of wacky, often hallucinatory adventures ensues that finds the trio journeying to the center of the earth, wandering across an icy tundra, and discovering a strange aquatic world inhabited by oddball beings with pointed heads. Benoit Poelvoorde (MAN BITES DOG) provides one of the voices.

Art & Copy

Art & Copy

The advertising industry in America exists in a paradox–while it’s all but impossible to go a day without being exposed to the work of leading figures in the advertising business, very little is known about the people behind the ads and the process by which they’re created. Filmmaker Doug Pray offers a rare look inside the business of advertising in the documentary ART & COPY, in which he profiles a number of the most respected men and women in the ad game as they talk about their work, their motivations, and their views on the creative process. Pray’s interview subjects include Lee Clow, who created memorable television spots for Apple’s Macintosh computer and later their iPod MP3 player; Rich Silverstein and Jeff Goodby, who gave new life to the dairy industry with the “Got Milk?” campaign; Hal Riney, who helped put Ronald Reagan in the White House with his “Morning in America” TV spot; George Lois, who remade popular culture by coining the slogan “I Want My MTV”; and Mary Wells, the first woman to run a major ad agency and the creator of the “I (heart) New York” campaign. Sponsored in part by the One Club, an organization dedicated to excellence in advertising, ART & COPY received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
