Director
Michael Dudko brings us Sir Elton John, David Furnish (Elton's civil
Partner), David Pelzer (A child called IT), and James Chau -United Nations
Goodwill Ambassador. Adopting a child means undergoing rigorous assessment
marked by bureaucracy, paperwork and often, an outlay of cash. Filmmakers
Michael Dudko and Olga Rudnieva ask themselves if they are fit for
parenthood after they personally witness Sir Elton John and David
Furnish’s
failure to adopt. Their investigation of the regulations, cultural
prejudices, and child trafficking policies behind the process takes them
from the slums of Ukraine, through China, and the US. They speak with
prospective parents, social workers, lawyers, psychologists, and adoption
agencies to find a flawed system that allows millions of orphans to
languish in foster care and learn that children lack the most basic human
rights. For more info, visit

A Show About Autism
Directors
statement - Eric Gladen
If someone had told me 10 years ago that I would spend the next decade
making a documentary film about Autism, I would have looked at them like
they were crazy. But a tragic life experience in 2004 quickly changed my
focus from my career as an Engineer, to telling the story of Autism
through a documentary film. Prior to 2004, I had never known or met anyone
with Autism, and the only thing I knew about it was what I saw in the
movie Rainman. I thought Autism was just someone who acts a little quirky
and has special skills. I did not know that many of these children are
extremely sick, psychologically and physically. For more info, go to

Directors
Statement - Shiloh Levine
In January 2008 I answered a craigslist
ad. When I showed up for the interview I was greeted by a young man named
Eric Gladen and his cat Wayne. His office was about two feet from
his kitchen sink, being that he lived and worked out of his 40 foot RV.
Eric spoke really fast, he told me he was an engineer, he spoke a lot
about mercury in the vaccines and the connection to Autism, his personal
story, and that he wanted to somehow put it all into a documentary.

Caught
in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, Lovell, one of 10 million
people who lost their homes, finds himself asking why he and so many
Americans were blindsided by the economy’s implosion. How could his
pursuit of the American Dream—starting a business, providing for his new
family, and owning a home— drive him to financial ruin? Coinciding with
the exponential growth of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, Lovell
embarks on a cross-country
journey to discover what happened to the America originally founded to be
free from tyranny. Conversations with a broad spectrum of energy and
political academics, OWS protestors, professional developers, real estate
agents, and attorneys all lead to the same conclusion: the system is
broken. FORWARD 13: WAKING UP THE AMERICAN DREAM provides a fresh,
personal perspective on the mortgage crisis and its ties to big business.
And while the road to recovery is a long and difficult one, there are

The
ancient city of Akka, along the northern coast of Israel, is the home to a
melting pot of Muslims, Christians, Jews, and Baha’i. For centuries, its
surrounding forty-foot sea wall has protected its people and repelled
invaders. As the Old City endures harsh economic pressures and vast social
changes, Palestinian families who have lived here for generations are
being pressured to leave. Despite the daily challenges they face, the
city’s youth – sons and daughters of fishermen, school teachers, and
artists – continue a perilous inter-generational rite of passage
expressing individuality and the right to control their destiny: jumping
from the high wall into the tempestuous sea below. IT’S BETTER TO JUMP
captures the spirit of Akka’s Arab residents and the leaps of faith they
make towards achieving self-determination and a better future. View the

throughout the world. In 2006 he was selected as one of the inaugural
recipients (the youngest and the first Native American recipient) of the
prestigious United States Artists Fellowship. He was selected for a 2006

Americans known as the Trail of Tears, echoed from the people during times
of worship, joy, mourning, hope, tragedy. Harjo learnt while interviewing
everyday people on the hyms sung during the search of his grandfather Pete
Harjo who mysteriously went missing in 1962 after his car crashed on a
rural bridge in Sasakwa, Oklahoma and learnt the songs were tied to
traditions that originated in Scotland, Appalachia, and the experiences of

April
Wright brings back the Drive in Theatre.
April Wright is an independent writer, director and producer with
several short films, features and documentaries to her credit. Her
current documentary "GOING ATTRACTIONS: The Definitive Story of the
American Drive-in Movie" is enjoying a theatrical distribution across
the country this summer at drive-ins and retro movie houses.
April's award-winning work has been profiled in articles in USA Today,
NPR, Time Magazine and CNN.com, the Chicago Tribune, BBC World News and
PBS. She’s also been featured in Movie Maker, P3 Update, and Moving
Pictures magazines. Her recent short suspense film THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT
was selected by viewers as one of the top 10 films of 2011 on the
television show PBS “Shorts Showcase.” April was in the final selection
round for the 2009, 2011 and 2013 Sundance Screenwriter Labs.
Once a vibrant part of American culture, nearly 5000 drive-ins once
dotted the nation from big cities to small towns, but today less than
400 remain. In a nation that loves cars and movies, why haven’t they
survived?
For more info, go to www.showbiz-view.com or

GOING
ATTRACTIONS examines the drive-in theatre as an integral part of
American culture from its invention in 1933, to its peak in the late
50s, to the rapid decline in the 70s and 80s, through the recent
resurgence. By looking at the drive-in, we see the story of changing
American culture and family over the last 60 years.
The story of the drive-in is told in segments that examine each era of
the drive-in from its inception through the present day. Each section is
a collage of visuals, audio and music blending original footage of
drive-ins from all over the United States, interviews, graphics,
photographs and archival footage.
The point of view focuses on placing the drive-in within the context of
other relevant political, economic and social changes the nation was
going through. These broader issues reflected changing ideals within
American culture, and ultimately impacted the drive-in as a form of
entertainment and social exchange.

Driven by an inexplicable calling and a grand sense of adventure, they

L.
A. Rebellion has become the most common term used to describe a group of
Los Angeles-based African and African American film artists recognized
largely for their work produced between the 1960s and 1980s, when most of
them met as students in UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television. The
term denotes an evolving group of many admirable facets. Among these were
the diversity of its creative expressions, and the importance of women’s
voices within the group. In their variety, however, all three films have
in common not only an African-American woman’s perspective, but also a
focus on the process of coming to consciousness. Please see "Snake in my
Bed", "Diary of the African Nun" and "Gray Area" at the Bill Wilder
Theatre this Friday March 22nd at 7.30pm as part of the UCLA Festival of
Preservation 2013. For more info visit
