2008 USA 97 MIN

DIR: Mike Gibisser

CAST: Gretchen Akers, Jason Kean, Lucy Quinn, Timothy Blevins, Sarah Augusta, Mary DiCamillo, Ellen DiCamillo, Karen Uptegrove, Tim Howard, Casey Engels, and Susan Turman

This sweet, comic meditation on young love-its hope and exhilaration, its loneliness and naiveté-follows a woman who relies on her grandmother for support, and a man who finds himself bumbling through most human interactions. Can two odd fellows make romance happen, against long odds?

HI MY NAME IS RYAN

2008 USA 78 MIN

DIR: Paul Eagleston, Stephen Rose

A milk-and-cookies connoisseur, photo booth artist, fake mustache aficionado, and punk rock performance artist; Ryan is not your typical scenester. In this entertaining, poignant doc, he discovers the therapeutic power of entertaining others as he embarks upon a preposterous number of music and art projects.

THE JUCHE IDEA

2008 USA 62 MIN

DIR: Jim Finn

CAST: Lee Jung Yoon, Daniela Kostova, Jim FinnA hybrid of Confucian ideas and authoritarian Stalinist pseudo-socialism, the Juche philosophy has guided North Korean culture and policy for 40 years. Underground legend Finn twists the philosophy into a playful, kitschy yet sharp-edged tale of a video artist whose works are fully informed by Juche.

OF ALL THE THINGS

UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES

US2008 Norway 93 MIN

DIR: Aaron Aites, Audrey Ewell

Blurring the line between performance, art, activism and terror, a group of "black metal" musicians recorded albums, burned churches and even killed each other. This film examines the movement's birth and explosive growth, asking, "Is violence a viable artistic response to our destructive, consumption-mad culture?"
