Screening & Belgian Beer Reception
Synopsis:
East meets West in this playful adaptation of Amélie Nothomb’s semi-autobiographical coming-of-age novel. Though raised in Belgium, Amélie (Pauline Etienne) was born in Japan and longs to return there; a job as a French tutor is her ticket. Her student Rinri (Taichi Inoue) is also in his early 20s and is as smitten with France as Amélie is with Japan. The two grow closer - despite several comic misunderstandings. In French and Japanese with English subtitles.

West Coast Premiere
Synopsis:
In Love and Warcraft offers a fresh comedic look at the collision between online gaming and In Real Life (IRL) relationships. Evie is a gamer girl, college senior and confirmed virgin who has it all figured out. Not only does she command a top-ranked guild in World of Warcraft with her online boyfriend, she also makes a little cash on the side writing love letters for people who’ve screwed things up with their IRL partners. Love is like Warcraft, after all. It’s all about strategies, game plans and not taking stupid risks … or is it?

Synopsis:
Follow Do-cheol – played by Hwang Jung-min (Ode to My Father) – as an irascible detective with a good heart as he seeks revenge and tries to take down the twisted but untouchable scion of a mega-corporation, Jo Tae-oh played by Ah In Yoo (Tough as Iron). In South Korea, Veteran has hugely resonated as a cathartic ride-along with a true-blue cop, personally delivering justice in a system where the rich and powerful always seem to have the upper hand.

Synopsis:
This stranger-than-fiction doc takes as its premise the absurdity of headlines and evening news, plucking one of the most bizarre stories in present memory from the world of reality television and Judge Mathis, granting it a full cinematic form.
A self-described “entrepreneurial” hustler finds a mummified leg in the crusty old smoker he’s purchased from a storage unit auction. Subsequently, John Wood (amputee and the original owner of the leg) wants it back, and a grotesque and public battle over the severed limb ensues. Yes, this actually happened. Yes, it was on TV.

Ako was 17 and Rob was 19 when they met at CCA(C) in 1996. After a few years of friendship, they confessed their hidden love for one another and they’ve been together ever since. For nearly two decades, Rob and Ako have built their lives around each other and their art. They share friends, family, creative influences, economic conditions and moments of joy and tragedy which shape their individual, but shared experience. Although they have exhibited in numerous group shows together, Deep Fields represents the first time these partner/artists have had their own split show.
