FEATURED THIS MONTH:

2005 - Volume Seven BUTTERFLY WOMAN In this magical tale, a woman turning 50, wrapped up in her career track and a failing affair with a married man, is sent to the seaside to interview a young female author who has just won a major literary prize. The two women seem like exact opposites on the surface, but this film's journey leads us into the inner landscape of the feminine where all people can unite in the common ground of our true selves. Transformative and heart opening, Butterfly Woman shows us one woman's journey from chrysalis to butterfly. Written and Directed by Signe Soby Bech. [31 minutes, in Danish with English subtitles] STUCK When fate strands five complete strangers together in an elevator, they do what any of us would do in their situation: talk to pass the time. The microcosm of their small world so brilliantly reflects our larger one, in all of its hope, cynicism, pain and joy, that when the surprise ending hits, the perspective you receive will last a lifetime. You will want to watch this one again and again. Starring Wendie Malick and Ken Howard. Directed by Clark Harris. [17 minutes, English] REFLECTION In the director's own words, this film is "a short, suspenseful, bittersweet tale of a family overcoming the loss of a child and ultimately finding peace." Beautifully shot and edited, Reflection won First Prize for Best Short Film at the inaugural Spiritual Cinema Festival-at-Sea. See why this film captured our Jurors' hearts, and why Tony Dean Smith is a filmmaker to keep an eye on! Written & Directed by Tony Dean Smith. [20 minutes, in English] JAMES'S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM An incredible epic tale of a young man driven to take a pilgrimage from his small village in Africa all the way to Jerusalem, the Holy Land, to bring back a message of hope to his villagers. The true journey, however, is the shift that takes place in James' own concept of himself and how he fits into the world. A lesson for us all in faith, consumerism, ethics and priorities. This feature was an art house hit that we are thrilled to be able to bring to our membership. Starring Siyabonga Melongisi Shibe as James. Written by Ra'anan Alexandrowicz and Sami Duenias. Directed by Ra'anan Alexandrowicz. [87 minutes, in Hebrew, English and Zulu with English subtitles]
