Social Divas get 30% off on Home Delivery of FIJI Water when they log onto www.shopfijiwater.com and enter promotional code FIJIDIVA at checkout. Or if you’re internet-challenged, call 1-888-426-4602 and mention the code.

Social Diva- Fitness Singles
To us, online dating used to be a major taboo. Every time we even thought about trying it, all we could imagine was wasting our precious shoe-shopping time chatting on IM with Kip Dynamite. But now, after attending three weddings of happy couples who met on the web, we’ve reformed into a bunch of dot-love believers.
If you’re Google-searching for your soul mate, or at least someone who can keep up with your active lifestyle, then there's an online dating service right up your treadmill track – Fitness Singles.
Since 2003, Fitness Singles has become one of the fastest growing online dating communities for sports and fitness lovers.
You can post your own profile on Fitness Singles for free, but to check out the profiles of fellow fitness freaks, there is, of course, a small fee: $29.95 buys you one month of service, with a six-month membership priced at $89.70.
Once you sign up, you can contact other people in your area who share your interest in a variety of activities including: biking, hiking, rock climbing, surfing, dancing, yoga, golf, etc. It's a great idea for Divas who want to be in relationships with individuals who also live a healthy lifestyle… And don’t resemble Mr. Dynamite.

Daily Candy- online sample sales
DailyCandy Launches Online Sample Sales
DailyCandy Partners with Gilt
You often wish you could magically transport yourself to one of NYC’s famed designer sample sales.
Though the last time you attended one, you got an elbow to the eye and half a skirt. (Bitch was strong.)
No need to book a flight: DailyCandy is launching its very own private online sample sales, so you can catch the deals without ever leaving home.
We’ve teamed with Gilt Groupe (the invitation-only sale site) to bring you DailyCandy Sample Sales, exclusively for DailyCandy readers. The weekly sales offer a limited stock of designer merch at 50-70 percent off (don’t say we never gave you anything), but last just 36 hours — so it’s first come, first dressed.
Every Wednesday there’ll be a new designer (find out who at the bottom of your DailyCandy e-mails) — labels like Derek Lam, Cynthia Vincent, and Gryson.
Today’s sale is Miguelina and it starts now. So, ladies, rev your engines.
And keep those elbows on the table.

Up The Yangtze (Yung Chang/Canada/2008)
In China, it is simply known as “The River.” But the Yangtze—and all of the life
that surrounds it—is undergoing a truly astonishing transformation wrought by the
largest hydroelectric project in history, the Three Gorges Dam. Canadian documentary
filmmaker Yung Chang returns to the gorgeous, now-disappearing landscape of his
grandfather’s youth to trace the surreal life of a “farewell cruise” that traverses the
gargantuan waterway. With Altmanesque narrative agility, a humanist gaze and wry wit,
Chang beautifully captures the microcosmic society. Singularly moving and cinematically
breathtaking, UP THE YANGTZE gives a human dimension to the wrenching changes
facing not only an increasingly globalized China, but the world at large.
WINNER: Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize for Documentary
“A GLORIOUSLY CINEMATIC DOC!”—Jake Anderson Variety
“By journey's end, Yung has found, in the Yangtze, a brilliant natural metaphor

One of the most distinctive members of the film industry -- Canadian or otherwise --
to emerge in the 1990s, director, writer, editor, and producer Atom Egoyan has left
an indelible imprint on audiences everywhere with his haunting, beautifully wrought
work. The son of Armenian refugees, Egoyan's family moved to Victoria, British
Columbia in 1963. With a fascination of western culture's obsession with technology
in the "Communication Age", and its sometimes ill effects on our identities, he debuted
as a feature filmmaker with the remarkable Next of Kin (1984). It was 1989's
Speaking Parts, however, that gave him his first dose of international recognition
with a screening at the Cannes Director's Fortnight. Two years later, he made
The Adjuster, a film which explored the dark sexual fantasies of an insurance
adjustor. Returning to his heritage, Egoyan made Calendar (1993), which looked
at issues surrounding identity and was partially filmed in Armenia, and then returns
to the twilight world of twisted sexual fantasy with Exotica (1994), winning the
Cannes Critics' Prize. Egoyan finally attained widespread international recognition
and acclaim three years later, with The Sweet Hereafter, honored with the 1997
Special Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, and Academy Award nominations for Best
Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. He then produced and directed an adaptation
of William Trevor's Felicia's Journey, the story of the relationship between a lovelorn
young woman and an old man with a terrible secret. Then came another journey, this
time to Miami, in Where the Truth Lies, where Egoyan again shows his skills in erotic
mystery. Egoyan has just completed Adoration, another look into identity and
technology, two of his ongoing favorite subjects.
-With information by Rebecca Marx, All Movie Guide
“WHERE THE DESIGN LIES: Recreating MIAMI”
With the design inspired by Fontainebleau and Eden Roc architect Morris Lapidus,
working closely with production designer Phillip Barker and cinematographer Paul
Sarossy, Egoyan and his team recreated the Miami of 1959 and 1974 for Where
the Truth Lies. The MBC exhibition for July and August is a spectacular collection
of these images from Barker's archives.

The Year My Parents Went on Vacation
(O Ano em Que Meus Pais SaÃram de Férias)
(Cao Hamburger/Brazil/Germany/2007)
In 1970 Brazil and the world seemed to have been turned upside down, but the biggest
worry in twelve year old Mauro’s mind had little of nothing to do with the proliferation
of military dictatorships in South America or with the Vietnam War. His biggest dream
was to see Brazil become the three-time winner of the World Cup. Mauro is in a stage
in life when one moves from childhood to adolescence. He is forced to live without his
parents, leftwing militants forced underground. Shlomo, his grandfather’s next door
neighbor, a solitary Jewish man and employee of the local synagogue, winds up taking
care of him. The unexpected cohabitation results in a plunge into unknown worlds,
from which they emerge more mature than before.

Eyeballs & Butts: Finding an Audience for Film in the 21st Century
Photo: incubator circa 1890
In a fragmented marketplace where first-run screens, the internet, video games,
DVD’s and more compete for the audience’s attention, how do filmmakers find the
“eyeballs’ or get “butts” in the seats for quality projects? Especially here in Miami,
a town notorious in the business for the underwhelming performance of speciality
films, what has worked in the past and what does the future hold? Join us for a
special evening panel to discuss these issues and more.
MODERATED by Miami Herald Film Critic Rene Rodriguez, with
PANELISTS Don Chauncey (Florida Moving Image Archive Director),
Dana Keith (MBC Director), and Roy Meyeringh (Director of Multiplatform
Content for Venevision International).
This is a complimentary event.
Doors open at 6:15 am for light fare and networking.

“A Voyeur’s Journey: ATOM EGOYAN”
Next of Kin (Canada/1984)
With Sirvant Fazlian, Arsinée Khanjian, Patrick Tierney,
Margaret Loveys, Thomas Tierney.
Atom Egoyan's first feature finds him using the formal and thematic elements he has
combined throughout his career: allegory, family bonds, the corruption of desire,
and a perverse view of technology. In the midst of a familial trauma, a young man
discovers a videotape of a family who gave up a child for adoption. Fleeing his past,
he attempts to become that lost son. Next of Kin is a hint of disturbing, fascinating
films to come, and a very accomplished independent debut of a major filmmaker.
~Brian Whitener, All Movie Guide
WINNER: Heidelberg Int. Film Festival Interfilm Award
“Released in the same year as Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise,
Atom Egoyan's remarkably lucid first feature is every bit as notable a
debut in the landscape of independent filmmaking.”—REEL.com
“By exploring the dynamic - and often necessary - function of compassionate
role-playing and deception in social and familial relationships, Egoyan creates
a haunting and affectionate contemporary humanist fable on identity,
impersonation, and connection.”--Strictly Film School

Sangre de mi Sangre (Blood of my Blood)
(aka Padre Nuestre) Directed by Christopher Zalla.
With Armando Hernandez, Jorge Adrian Espindola, Jesus Ochoa, Paola Mendoza
The first Spanish language film to ever win Best Film at the Sundance Film Festival,
the debut feature from writer/director Christopher Zalla follows Mexican immigrant
Pedro as he travels to New York City in search of his successful (and estranged) father.
Along the way, he meets Juan, a charismatic young con man who steals Pedro's identity
and abandons him in the city. The two race to find Pedro's father first, one in search of
his love, the other in pursuit of his money. Shot on a low budget, the film features some
of the best Hispanic acting this year, and no wonder: all three of the main performers
had won Ariel (Mexican “Oscar”) nominations and awards for their past work.
In Spanish with English subtitles.
WINNER: Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize
“Here’s a rare find: Sangre de mi Sangre is a feat of elegant filmmaking

“A Voyeur’s Journey: ATOM EGOYAN”
Speaking Parts (Canada/1989)
With Michael McManus and Arsinée Khanjian
A South Beach Story?
That the video age has mesmerized us into a collective state of emotional frigidity,
spiritual emptiness and self-absorption couldn't be better illustrated than by Atom
Egoyan's Speaking Parts, a film in which people find their deepest emotions buried,
not in their hearts, but in their TV monitors. Movie extra, aspiring gigolo and hotel
sheet-changer Lance (Michael McManus) finds himself the obsessional object of
two women: Clara (Gabrielle Rose), a scriptwriter he has hustled for a part in an
upcoming movie, and Lisa (Arsinée Khanjian), a hotel maid who hangs on the all-
but-tranced cover boy's every word and deed. The obsessional triangle (Lance,
who reciprocates scriptwriter Lisa's desires, has his own suspect ambitions in the
movie business) becomes the base for Egoyan's meditations on our video-embracing
culture. Like the characters, the film’s viewers eventually enter the video looking glass. . .
Official Selection: Cannes Film Festival Director’s Fortnight
WINNER: Vancouver Int. Film Festival Best Screenplay
“Anyone who happened upon the early films of Atom Egoyan before he
hit the big-time with Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter knew that a
remarkable career was being unveiled. Here was a director, concerned
about the ubiquity of images in society and the complications that arise
as a result, framing his ideas through subtle, complex scenarios of great
wit and intelligence. Speaking Parts is not only an anticipatory look at
the work to come; it's a masterful film in its own right.”—REEL.com

Dreams with Sharp Teeth (Documentary/Erik Nelson/2008)
With Harlan Ellison, Robin Williams, Neil Gaiman, Tom Snyder
The Story of a Genius. A Monster. A Legend
Harlan Ellison may be one of the greatest “unknown” writers of our times. Like that
of Bradbury and Vonnegut, Ellison’s work was shunted into the literary ghetto of “sci fi”
early in his career, though even at the time (mid to late 1950s) he was also writing pulp
fiction, detective stories, westerns, and essays. One could better characterize his stories
as fantastic (in the genre sense) or speculative (but perhaps his most known work is
scripts for the television series Star Trek and The Twilight Zone). His considerable
body of nonfiction ranges from political and social commentary to film, music, and
television criticism. His oeuvre also includes an array of memorable teleplays (many
honored by awards), screenplays (most of them un-produced, sadly), a couple of
novels, and occasional comic books and graphic novels. (–David Loftis, Documentary
Films.com). Dreams with Sharp Teeth is the story of this writer. . .one of the most
outrageously opinionated and colorful authors of our time.
“This huge piece of performance art that is Harlan. . .
Harlan’s drug of choice is Harlan”—Neil Gaiman
“It would seem no easy task conveying the essence of a bigger-than-life figure
like Ellison in a 96-minute film. But Nelson, producer of Werner Herzog's
Grizzly Man, makes it look easy.”—New York Post
“The exhilarating Dreams with Sharp Teeth is that rare documentary that
not only makes you want to rush out and reread Ellison but, if you are a
writer yourself, makes you feel good again about putting words together
in a sentence.” –Paul Brenner, REEL.com
“Dreams with Sharp Teeth is a kind of dinner with Harlan Ellison -- if you
already know him, it's a chance to get to know him better, and if you don't
know him, it's an evening with an unusual and interesting personality.”
—Jette Karnion Cinematical

A NEW series of classic silent films with LIVE accompaniment!
In collaboration with KINO and The South Beach Music Institute
Steamboat Bill, Jr. (Reisner/Keaton/USA/1928)
Flavored with Americana and loaded with cinematic inventiveness, Steamboat Bill Jr.
was Buster Keaton's final independent production before joining MGM, a comic
masterpiece that represents the full breadth of its maker's remarkable talents. Set on the
Mississippi River in the old side-wheeler days, Steamboat Bill Jr. follows the adventures
of a spoiled young man who is forced by his crusty father to learn the ropes of river boating.
The scale of comedy gradually expands, from small-scale, nostalgic humor (as when Bill Sr.
outfits his son with a new wardrobe) to some of the most elaborate sight gags of Keaton's
career, including the massive hurricane climax. Highlighted by remarkable special effects
(including the destruction of full-sized structures), it includes the legendary stunt in which
the front of a building collapses over Junior, who passes unharmed through an open window.
The KINO score of the film will be supplemented by a LIVE performance
by Oboist Marco Antonio Navarette from the South Beach Music Institute
$15 and $12 MBC Members, Students, and Seniors
24 THU 8:30pm:
“A Voyeur’s Journey: ATOM EGOYAN”
The Adjuster (Canada/1991)
With Maury Chaykin, Jennifer Dale, Arsinée Khanjian, Elias Koteas
In 1991, three years before he gained international attention with Exotica, unorthodox
filmmaker Atom Egoyan added to his already considerable reputation as a daring
adventurer by making The Adjuster. As he had done in such previous films as
Speaking Parts, Egoyan masterfully scripted mundane situations involving seemingly
unremarkable people -- in this case an insurer adjuster -- that peeled away to reveal
psychosexual and emotional quagmires. Egoyan's customary troupe of players includes
Elias Koteas as the nosy insurance man and Egoyan's wife Arsinée Khanjian as a
hypocritical film censor. Risqué and rife with Egoyan's customary deadpan, flat dialogue,
The Adjuster has many of the elements that would be so masterfully realized in Exotica,
and the film is a must for fans of the idiosyncratic Egoyan. By the end of the decade,
he would be established as an uncompromising filmmaker with the acclaimed The
Sweet Hereafter and Felicia's Journey. ~Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide
WINNER: Special Jury Prize Moscow Int. Film Festival
Toronto Int. Film Festival Best Feature Film
Cinefest Best Canadian Feature Film
“What is interesting is how Egoyan creates this intensely personal universe
while at the same time making a movie that is funny and challenging. . ..When
he shows us something we cannot understand, and then pulls back to explain it,
he takes the same delight in his revelation as a magician would - or a silent
comedian like Buster Keaton. . .I am willing to guess that he is one of those people
who loves puzzles and paradoxes, who sees the world in a wry, skewed way, who
is vastly amused that what we take for granted might be a complete deception.
He would probably be gifted at card tricks. But he would want a deck with
more than 52 cards.”—Roger Ebert

The Edge of Heaven (Auf der anderen Seite)
(Fatih Akin/Germany/Turkey/2008)
With Bavi Davrak, Tuncil Kurtiz, Hanna Schygulla, Patrycia Ziolkowska
Linked by death, the fragile lives of six people connect on emotional journeys toward
forgiveness and reconciliation. Nejat, living in Germany, seems disapproving about his
widower father Ali’s choice of prostitute Yeter for a live-in girlfriend. But he grows fond
of her when he discovers she sends money home to Turkey for her daughter’s university
studies. Yeter’s sudden death distances father and son, and leads to an international
search for answers. . .

“The point at which a good director crosses the career bridge to become a
substantial international talent is vividly clear in "The Edge of Heaven,"
an utterly assured, profoundly moving fifth feature by Fatih Akin.”--Variety
“The Edge of Heaven" raises questions it can't answer, which makes it only
more powerful. Shot in Bremen, Istanbul and a small coastal Turkish town,
it's a beautiful, unexpectedly enrapturing story about a world in transition
and both the closeness and unbridgeable divide between generations and
cultures.”—Los Angeles Times
31 THU 8:30pm:
“A Voyeur’s Journey: ATOM EGOYAN”
Calendar (Canada/1993)
With Arsinée Khanjian, Atom Egoyan
You've probably never even heard of Atom Egoyan's early work Calendar, (unless you
have just discovered him at the MBC screenings of Next of Kin, Speaking Parts, and
The Adjuster), but you should: It's one of his best to date. Egoyan stars as a calendar
photographer whose wife has left him, dumping him while he was on assignment in Armenia
(and choosing their tour guide!). The next year of his life is spent on dates arranged by a
dating service and carefully watching his old video footage for signs of his wife's falling for
the tour guide. Powerful, quirky, strange, twisted, excellent.
--Christopher Null Filmcritic.com
GENIE Award nominations: Best Director and Best Screenplay
“If Calendar, like such earlier Egoyan films as The Adjuster and Speaking Parts,
has to be pieced together backward, it is so finely constructed and beautifully
acted a movie that it’s game of detective is quite enticing. Seamlessly edited,
the film sustains a visual rhythm that is as confident as it is edgy”.

parents, leftwing militants forced underground. Shlomo, his grandfather’s next door
neighbor, a solitary Jewish man and employee of the local synagogue, winds up taking
care of him. The unexpected cohabitation results in a plunge into unknown worlds,
from which they emerge more mature than before.

Film Industry Panel Discussion
Presented with the...
Eyeballs & Butts: Finding an Audience for Film in the 21st Century
Photo: incubator circa 1890
In a fragmented marketplace where first-run screens, the internet, video games,
DVD’s and more compete for the audience’s attention, how do filmmakers find the
“eyeballs’ or get “butts” in the seats for quality projects? Especially here in Miami,
a town notorious in the business for the underwhelming performance of speciality
films, what has worked in the past and what does the future hold? Join us for a
special evening panel to discuss these issues and more.
MODERATED by Miami Herald Film Critic Rene Rodriguez, with
PANELISTS Don Chauncey (Florida Moving Image Archive Director),
Dana Keith (MBC Director), and Roy Meyeringh (Director of Multiplatform
Content for Venevision International).
This is a complimentary event.
Doors open at 6:15 am for light fare and networking.

“A Voyeur’s Journey: ATOM EGOYAN”
Next of Kin (Canada/1984)
With Sirvant Fazlian, Arsinée Khanjian, Patrick Tierney,
Margaret Loveys, Thomas Tierney.
Atom Egoyan's first feature finds him using the formal and thematic elements he has
combined throughout his career: allegory, family bonds, the corruption of desire,
and a perverse view of technology. In the midst of a familial trauma, a young man
discovers a videotape of a family who gave up a child for adoption. Fleeing his past,
he attempts to become that lost son. Next of Kin is a hint of disturbing, fascinating
films to come, and a very accomplished independent debut of a major filmmaker.
~Brian Whitener, All Movie Guide
WINNER: Heidelberg Int. Film Festival Interfilm Award
“Released in the same year as Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise,
Atom Egoyan's remarkably lucid first feature is every bit as notable a
debut in the landscape of independent filmmaking.”—REEL.com
“By exploring the dynamic - and often necessary - function of compassionate
role-playing and deception in social and familial relationships, Egoyan creates
a haunting and affectionate contemporary humanist fable on identity,
impersonation, and connection.”--Strictly Film School
With the Egoyan short film Howard In Particular (Canada/1979)

Sangre de mi Sangre (Blood of my Blood)
(aka Padre Nuestre) Directed by Christopher Zalla.
With Armando Hernandez, Jorge Adrian Espindola, Jesus Ochoa, Paola Mendoza
The first Spanish language film to ever win Best Film at the Sundance Film Festival,
the debut feature from writer/director Christopher Zalla follows Mexican immigrant
Pedro as he travels to New York City in search of his successful (and estranged) father.
Along the way, he meets Juan, a charismatic young con man who steals Pedro's identity
and abandons him in the city. The two race to find Pedro's father first, one in search of
his love, the other in pursuit of his money. Shot on a low budget, the film features some
of the best Hispanic acting this year, and no wonder: all three of the main performers
had won Ariel (Mexican “Oscar”) nominations and awards for their past work.
In Spanish with English subtitles.
WINNER: Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize
“Here’s a rare find: Sangre de mi Sangre is a feat of elegant filmmaking
whose heart-pumping plot-with top shelf deception and betrayal-leaves no
bitter aftertaste of cheap Hollywood thrills”—Yana Litovsky Film Forward.com

“A Voyeur’s Journey: ATOM EGOYAN”
Speaking Parts (Canada/1989)
With Michael McManus and Arsinée Khanjian
A South Beach Story?
That the video age has mesmerized us into a collective state of emotional frigidity,
spiritual emptiness and self-absorption couldn't be better illustrated than by Atom
Egoyan's Speaking Parts, a film in which people find their deepest emotions buried,
not in their hearts, but in their TV monitors. Movie extra, aspiring gigolo and hotel
sheet-changer Lance (Michael McManus) finds himself the obsessional object of
two women: Clara (Gabrielle Rose), a scriptwriter he has hustled for a part in an
upcoming movie, and Lisa (Arsinée Khanjian), a hotel maid who hangs on the all-
but-tranced cover boy's every word and deed. The obsessional triangle (Lance,
who reciprocates scriptwriter Lisa's desires, has his own suspect ambitions in the
movie business) becomes the base for Egoyan's meditations on our video-embracing
culture. Like the characters, the film’s viewers eventually enter the video looking glass. . .
Official Selection: Cannes Film Festival Director’s Fortnight
WINNER: Vancouver Int. Film Festival Best Screenplay
“Anyone who happened upon the early films of Atom Egoyan before he
hit the big-time with Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter knew that a
remarkable career was being unveiled. Here was a director, concerned
about the ubiquity of images in society and the complications that arise
as a result, framing his ideas through subtle, complex scenarios of great
wit and intelligence. Speaking Parts is not only an anticipatory look at
the work to come; it's a masterful film in its own right.”—REEL.com

Dreams with Sharp Teeth (Documentary/Erik Nelson/2008)
With Harlan Ellison, Robin Williams, Neil Gaiman, Tom Snyder
The Story of a Genius. A Monster. A Legend
Harlan Ellison may be one of the greatest “unknown” writers of our times. Like that
of Bradbury and Vonnegut, Ellison’s work was shunted into the literary ghetto of “sci fi”
early in his career, though even at the time (mid to late 1950s) he was also writing pulp
fiction, detective stories, westerns, and essays. One could better characterize his stories
as fantastic (in the genre sense) or speculative (but perhaps his most known work is
scripts for the television series Star Trek and The Twilight Zone). His considerable
body of nonfiction ranges from political and social commentary to film, music, and
television criticism. His oeuvre also includes an array of memorable teleplays (many
honored by awards), screenplays (most of them un-produced, sadly), a couple of
novels, and occasional comic books and graphic novels. (–David Loftis, Documentary
Films.com). Dreams with Sharp Teeth is the story of this writer. . .one of the most
outrageously opinionated and colorful authors of our time.
“This huge piece of performance art that is Harlan. . .
Harlan’s drug of choice is Harlan”—Neil Gaiman
“It would seem no easy task conveying the essence of a bigger-than-life figure
like Ellison in a 96-minute film. But Nelson, producer of Werner Herzog's
Grizzly Man, makes it look easy.”—New York Post
“The exhilarating Dreams with Sharp Teeth is that rare documentary that
not only makes you want to rush out and reread Ellison but, if you are a
writer yourself, makes you feel good again about putting words together
in a sentence.” –Paul Brenner, REEL.com
“Dreams with Sharp Teeth is a kind of dinner with Harlan Ellison -- if you
already know him, it's a chance to get to know him better, and if you don't
know him, it's an evening with an unusual and interesting personality.”
—Jette Karnion Cinematical
“ARRESTING, HILARIOUS, and NECESSARY”—Andrew O’Hehir, Salon

“SILENTS...PLEASE!”
A NEW series of classic silent films with LIVE accompaniment!
In collaboration with KINO and The South Beach Music Institute
Steamboat Bill, Jr. (Reisner/Keaton/USA/1928)
Flavored with Americana and loaded with cinematic inventiveness, Steamboat Bill Jr.
was Buster Keaton's final independent production before joining MGM, a comic
masterpiece that represents the full breadth of its maker's remarkable talents. Set on the
Mississippi River in the old side-wheeler days, Steamboat Bill Jr. follows the adventures
of a spoiled young man who is forced by his crusty father to learn the ropes of river boating.
The scale of comedy gradually expands, from small-scale, nostalgic humor (as when Bill Sr.
outfits his son with a new wardrobe) to some of the most elaborate sight gags of Keaton's
career, including the massive hurricane climax. Highlighted by remarkable special effects
(including the destruction of full-sized structures), it includes the legendary stunt in which
the front of a building collapses over Junior, who passes unharmed through an open window.
The KINO score of the film will be supplemented by a LIVE performance
by Oboist Marco Antonio Navarette from the South Beach Music Institute
$15 and $12 MBC Members, Students, and Seniors
24 THU 8:30pm:
“A Voyeur’s Journey: ATOM EGOYAN”
The Adjuster (Canada/1991)
With Maury Chaykin, Jennifer Dale, Arsinée Khanjian, Elias Koteas
In 1991, three years before he gained international attention with Exotica, unorthodox
filmmaker Atom Egoyan added to his already considerable reputation as a daring
adventurer by making The Adjuster. As he had done in such previous films as
Speaking Parts, Egoyan masterfully scripted mundane situations involving seemingly
unremarkable people -- in this case an insurer adjuster -- that peeled away to reveal
psychosexual and emotional quagmires. Egoyan's customary troupe of players includes
Elias Koteas as the nosy insurance man and Egoyan's wife Arsinée Khanjian as a
hypocritical film censor. Risqué and rife with Egoyan's customary deadpan, flat dialogue,
The Adjuster has many of the elements that would be so masterfully realized in Exotica,
and the film is a must for fans of the idiosyncratic Egoyan. By the end of the decade,
he would be established as an uncompromising filmmaker with the acclaimed The
Sweet Hereafter and Felicia's Journey. ~Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide
WINNER: Special Jury Prize Moscow Int. Film Festival
Toronto Int. Film Festival Best Feature Film
Cinefest Best Canadian Feature Film
“What is interesting is how Egoyan creates this intensely personal universe
while at the same time making a movie that is funny and challenging. . ..When
he shows us something we cannot understand, and then pulls back to explain it,
he takes the same delight in his revelation as a magician would - or a silent
comedian like Buster Keaton. . .I am willing to guess that he is one of those people
who loves puzzles and paradoxes, who sees the world in a wry, skewed way, who
is vastly amused that what we take for granted might be a complete deception.
He would probably be gifted at card tricks. But he would want a deck with
more than 52 cards.”—Roger Ebert

The Edge of Heaven (Auf der anderen Seite)
(Fatih Akin/Germany/Turkey/2008)
With Bavi Davrak, Tuncil Kurtiz, Hanna Schygulla, Patrycia Ziolkowska
Linked by death, the fragile lives of six people connect on emotional journeys toward
forgiveness and reconciliation. Nejat, living in Germany, seems disapproving about his
widower father Ali’s choice of prostitute Yeter for a live-in girlfriend. But he grows fond
of her when he discovers she sends money home to Turkey for her daughter’s university
studies. Yeter’s sudden death distances father and son, and leads to an international
search for answers. . .

“The point at which a good director crosses the career bridge to become a
substantial international talent is vividly clear in "The Edge of Heaven,"
an utterly assured, profoundly moving fifth feature by Fatih Akin.”--Variety
“The Edge of Heaven" raises questions it can't answer, which makes it only
more powerful. Shot in Bremen, Istanbul and a small coastal Turkish town,
it's a beautiful, unexpectedly enrapturing story about a world in transition
and both the closeness and unbridgeable divide between generations and
cultures.”—Los Angeles Times
31 THU 8:30pm:
“A Voyeur’s Journey: ATOM EGOYAN”
Calendar (Canada/1993)
With Arsinée Khanjian, Atom Egoyan
You've probably never even heard of Atom Egoyan's early work Calendar, (unless you
have just discovered him at the MBC screenings of Next of Kin, Speaking Parts, and
The Adjuster), but you should: It's one of his best to date. Egoyan stars as a calendar
photographer whose wife has left him, dumping him while he was on assignment in Armenia
(and choosing their tour guide!). The next year of his life is spent on dates arranged by a
dating service and carefully watching his old video footage for signs of his wife's falling for
the tour guide. Powerful, quirky, strange, twisted, excellent.
--Christopher Null Filmcritic.com
GENIE Award nominations: Best Director and Best Screenplay
“If Calendar, like such earlier Egoyan films as The Adjuster and Speaking Parts,
has to be pieced together backward, it is so finely constructed and beautifully
acted a movie that it’s game of detective is quite enticing. Seamlessly edited,
the film sustains a visual rhythm that is as confident as it is edgy”.
—Stephen Holden, New York Times

Ra Sushi Opens
Ra. Ra. Siss. Boom. Ba.
Give it up for sushi joint Ra.
Hey. Hey.
What do you say?
The rolls are wild.
And it opens today.
Gimme a twist! (On traditional Japanese favorites, like apple teriyaki salmon and yuzu halibut.)
Gimme a roll! (The yellow monkey roll has roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke, and cream cheese, topped with mango and cashew nuts.)
Gimme a separate, full cocktail bar with Asian-tinged spirits! (Saketinis, Pamatinis, and Banzai Martinis.)
Sorry for the pep (you haven’t had your coffee), but Ra’s energetic environment, upbeat music, Japanese design touches, and deep red lights are exotic enough to shake your pom-poms. And extra ingredients like red beet tempura flakes, jalapeno, and Asian pesto sauce give the sushi an added kick.
Let’s get fired up!

Party with a Purpose - June 25 5-7 p.m.
Please help us spread the word and join us for this month's
Party with a Purpose Wednesday June 25 at Dave & Busters.
The event is free and open to the public.
This month's party is focusing on raising awareness about the situation in Darfur.
Violence in the region has intensified. Rising food and fuel prices have slashed international food aid to Darfur. Banditry claims much of the aid that does make it through. Still, of the 17,000 additional peacekeepers promised in July 2007, only 2,100 have been deployed.The people of Darfur need peacekeepers now, not just to protect them from the murderous janjaweed, but also to safeguard efforts to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid.In addition to the free food, billiards and half price drinks at this party hosted by Dave & Busters -- there will be an opportunity for you to send a message to President Bush on behalf of the Save Darfur Coalition.
The Save Darfur Coalition is an alliance of over 180 faith-based, advocacy and human rights organizations whose mission is to raise public awareness about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and to mobilize a unified response to the atrocities that threaten the lives of more than two million people in the Darfur region. To learn more, please visit http://www.savedarfur.org/
