and charming new girl, Julia Harrison,
and the timing couldn’t be better—he has
just broken up via twitterberry from his
long-time girlfriend, Brittany. Todd and
Julia’s best friends, as well as the entire
school, become entranced with this
beautiful and red-hot couples’ “really f-
ing cute” romance but as the reality of
young love wanes—so does their
popularity. Unable to deal with becoming
ordinary high school seniors and with
Prom looming just a few months away,
Todd and Julia decide deception is the
only key to regaining the status they both
crave, and ultimately being crowned the
Senior Class Prom King and Queen.

That is the question for the picturesque

and nobody dies due to a tragic bus crash
that took the lives of the 1977 undefeated
Rockwell High School Basketball Team.
A Faustian Bargain where the people are
never limited by time, never shadows of
their former selves; yet somehow,
everyone lives unhappily ever after - that
is until a mysterious boy with a sordid
past, Hawk Kodiak, comes to town and
the hands of time move forward, because
of all things, a basketball. But with change
comes fear and with fear comes
resistance. As a simple sneeze turns into a
cold; a disagreement turns into violence;
and violence turns into death; the good
people of Rockwell discover that time
waits for no one.

Everett and Glory Hutchins live in a
typical middle class neighborhood.
Maybe your neighborhood. The Hutchins
have a “guestroom” in their home. It’s not
exactly a business. It’s a hobby.
Or.....would you say religion? You see,
Everett and Glory are practicing
cannibals. It’s a proclivity that you can’t
readily share with friend or neighbor.
When Richard Ruebens answers Everett’s
classified add to buy a classic car, he
becomes their latest potential meal.
But......Richard has no intention of being a
lamb led to slaughter.

THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF ALL
TIMES 3D
Comedy
Language: English
Director: Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer
Writer: Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer
Producer: Peter Safran
In “Scary Movie” we spoofed the creepy
teen horror genre, in “Date Movie” we
took on cliché romantic comedies, “Epic
Movie” we parodied bloated blockbusters,
“Meet the Spartans” we lampooned the
ultra macho “300” and in “Vampires
Suck” we skewered the cultural
phenomenon “Twilight”. But our new
movie will dare spoof the biggest, boldest
and most successful movie ever made James Cameron’s “Avatar”. With a
domestic box office of nearly 700 million
dollars and an oversea haul of over 2
billion, it was only a matter of time before
this behemoth got a good ribbing. And
what could possibly be riper for satire?
You’ve got half naked blue people
plugging their hair into strange flying
horses so they can read their thoughts!
And nothing in this mego blockbuster is
off limits, from its overly simplified
message of “big corporations = bad; tree
hugging environmentalist = good,” to the
broadly drawn characters like the buffed
out Colonel who’s in a perpetual ‘roid
rage to the very colorful, glowing and...
come on, totally stony world of Pandora.
And just like “Avatar” our movie will be
in eye popping 3-D, making it the very
first spoof movie ever in this format. It’s a
perfect showcase for our outrageous sight
gags, physical comedy and audacious
stunts that will make for a hilarious film
and uproarious audience experience.
JAMES WAN PRESENTS HOUSE
OF HORRORS
Horror Thriller
Language: English
Director: Javier Gutierrez
Writer: James Wan and Max La Bella
Origin: USA
The House of Horror is a horror-thriller
that centres around a gruesome crime
scene. The film is shot with a blend of
found footage, interrogation video, news
cameras and classical cinematography.
The film focuses on the aftermath of a
horrific massacre; five college students,
brutally murdered inside a decrepit,
abandoned home. We are thrown right
into the mix as the lead Detective, Mark
Lewis, and the police department’s
psychologist, Dr. Elizabeth Klein,
question a suspect. The young man at the
centre is John Ascot, bound by handcuffs
in a mobile command station. During the
interrogation, John explains everything
leading up to the deaths of his friends. We
discover that they were amateur ghosthunters, seeking out paranormal
phenomenon at the abandoned house
believed to be haunted. What started out
as a harmless activity turned into
something truly terrifying and more than
they ever could bargain for. John explains
to the police that he isn’t responsible for
his friends’ deaths, but rather, it was the
house. He tells them he believes the house
is a gateway to hell; a place of
concentrated evil. We slowly witness an
eerie change in John’s demeanour through
the course of the movie. Things take a
disturbing turn when John hints at the
notion that he is possessed by the Devil.
Detective Lewis and Dr. Klein are forced
to unravel the mystery of how John’s
friends were murdered. All this leads to a
stunning revelation about the man they’ve
been interrogating and a gut-wrenching
conclusion.
SUBJECT 7
Horror Thriller
Language: English
Director: Andrew Cosby
Producer: Lloyd Levin, Nate Bolotin,
Nick Spicer
A group of film school students decide to
follow random strangers, discreetly
filming them without their knowledge in
an effort to piece together their story and
create a compelling narrative - literally a
picture of modern life in the big city. It’s
an ambitious project, and each does their
part working in shifts to maintain
surveillance of their various subjects,
meticulously keeping track of their habits,
their daily routines, following them to
work, on weekend excursions, stolen
moments,
clandestine
rendezvous.
Fortunately for them, everyone has
secrets. The trick is discovering
them...and more importantly, getting them
on film. But when one of the students
mysteriously vanishes, the others suspect
that one of their subjects might be
responsible. They soon discover their
friend had been following someone the
others weren’t even aware of...Subject 7.
Subject 7 is not like any of the others, he’s
very difficult to follow, and they never see
him during the day. Who is he? Where did
he come from? How did she find him?
Every answer only leads to more
questions, and what follows is a
suspenseful game of cat and mouse as our
intrepid filmmakers concentrate all their
efforts on this one person, stalking him,
hoping to find some clue as to his true
identity and what might have happened to
their friend. As more of the students
disappear, we soon learn the terrifying
truth, that the person they’ve been
following isn’t a ‘person’ at all..he’s
something more, or less, than human...a
vampire... and not at all like the ones you
read about in books or see in the movies.
This is a creature of pure evil, a
malevolent, predatory thing that lives in
the shadows, hidden from prying
eyes...that is, until now.

PROJECT NIM
Documentary
Language: English
Director: James Marsh
Writer: James Marsh - Based on the book
‘Nim Chimpsky ? The chimp who would

Producer: Simon Chinn
From the Oscar®-winning team behind
Man on Wire comes the story of Nim, the
chimpanzee who in the mid-1970s
became the focus of a landmark
experiment which aimed to show that an
ape could learn to communicate with
language if raised and nurtured like a
human
child.
Following
Nim’s
extraordinary journey through human

on the people he meets along the way, the
film is an unflinching and unsentimental
biography of an animal we tried to make
human. What we learn about his true

revealing and profoundly unsettling.

Royal Australian Airforce pilots were sent
to help Malayan pilots protect Malaya
against the Japanese invasion. Australian
pilot capt. Shaun Marshall, tries to form a
close bond with local pilot capt. Adam,
who is initially skeptical to have a ‘white
man’ as an ally. Their different approaches
to ward off the impending Japanese
invation create tension between them,
which is further tested when Capt. Adam’s
sister, Melati, falls desperately in love
with Capt. Shaun. Due to the lack of
reinforcements and a poor defense
strategy, both Malaya and Singapore fell
into Japanese hands. It was during this
intense period that armed forces from
different nations put their cultural
differences and ideologies aside to form
an alliance with one aim: to defend
Malaya at all costs. Between Two Skies
captures the high action and dramatic
moments of a hostile war on Malayan
land, skies, and sea filled with patriotism,
courage, determination, and the friendship
formed between two nationalities who
fought for their loved ones, humanity and
liberty.

Language: English
Director: Robert Ptolemy
TRANSCENDENT MAN chronicles the
life and ideas of Ray Kurzweil, an
inventor and futurist that presents his bold
vision of the Singularity, a point in the
near future when technology will be
changing so rapidly, that we will have to
enhance ourselves with artificial
intelligence to keep up. Ray predicts this
will be the dawning of a new civilization
in which we will no longer be dependent
on our physical bodies, we will be trillions
of times more intelligent and there will be
no clear distinction between human and
machine, real reality and virtual reality.
Human aging and illness will be reversed;
world hunger and poverty will be solved
and we will ultimately cure death. Critics
accuse Ray of being too optimistic and
argue that the dangers of the Singularity
far outweigh the benefits, pointing out the
apocalyptic implications that once
AFM 2011
machines achieve consciousness, we may
not be able to control them. Whether Rays
controversial ideas incite excitement or
fear, dogma or disbelief this ambitious
documentary will forever change the way
you look at life, death, and your own
future.

who know him well, and words spoken by
himself, the film vibrantly discovers what

wanted. Together, the couple will try and
navigate through their lives and stay true

Writer: Adrian Hodges based on the novel
by Colin Clark

Branagh Eddie Redmayne Dominic
Cooper Julia Ormond Zoë Wanamaker
with Emma Watson and and Judi Dench
In the early summer of 1956, 23 year old
Colin Clarke (Eddie Redmayne), just
down from Oxford and determined to
make his way in the film business, worked
as a lowly assistant on the set of ‘The
Prince and The Showgirl’.The film that
famously united Sir Laurence Olivier
(Kenneth Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe
(Michelle Williams), who was also on
honeymoon with her new husband, the
playwright Arthur Miller (Dougray Scott).
Nearly 40 years on, his diary account The
Prince, The Showgirl and Me was
published,but one week was missing and
this was published some years later as My
Week with Marilyn – this is the story of
that week. When Arthur Miller leaves
England, the coast is clear for Colin to
introduce Marilyn to some of the
pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in
which he escorted a Monroe desperate to
get away from her retinue of Hollywood
hangers-on and the pressures of work.

From Michel Hazanavicius, the director

Jean Dujardin), and there was no bigger
break for a beautiful young actress like
Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) than to find
herself cast alongside him, even if only in
bit parts! But eventually Peppy’s star is on
the rise, and so is the popularity of
“talking” pictures, both threatening to
eclipse George’s own long career.
Accustomed to getting everything he ever
wanted, now George must struggle not
only for the love of Peppy, but for his own
livelihood as well. It is the role of the
lifetime, and a comeback worthy of only
the finest actor... one that must now fight
to find his own voice. Ingenious, funny
and moving, Hazanavicius’The Artist is
one of those rare films that can remind us
all why we fell in love with the movies in
the first place.

SPACE BROTHERS

Subtitles
Director: Yoshitaka Mori
Key Cast: Shun Oguri, Masaki Okada
Origin: Japan
The movie is based on Space Brothers, the
mega-hit manga series that is still running
in Morning Comics (Kodansha). It is a
story of two brothers who aspire to be the
first Japanese astronauts to set foot in
outer space. The outrageous scale of the
storyline and hilariously endearing
characters have made Space Brothers an
enduring hit, earning 2nd place in the
Manga Grand Prix for two years in a row.
The bestselling series, currently in its 11th
volume, has sold over 2.2 million copies
with a broad fan base that includes actors
and producers both inside and outside the
industry. The movie rights for the
immensely popular space Brothers was
the focus of a heated bidding war between
film production companies, television
networks and major entertainment firms
with Toho Studios finally winning out.
Scale-meets-drama-meets-comedy. The
most talked about manga of our time will
finally come to the big screen. The film
deftly blends the emotional, human story
of two brothers with the spectacular
theme of man’s eternal quest to explore
space. The main attractions of the original
work are the charming and endearing
characters the two brothers which will
bring a comedic touch to the film. We live
in an age of harsh reality recession,
suicides, alienation where people have
forgotten how to look up at the sky and
dream. Through the brothers who aspire
to reach for the moon, the film aims to
bring hopes and dreams back into our
lives. Space Brothers will be the first fullscale space (brothers) film that Japan will
be proud to promote around the world!

THIS IS NOT A FILM
AKA: IN FILM NIST
(75 minutes)
Language: Persian
Director: Jafar Panahi and Mojtaba
Mirtahmasb
Co-Production Partners: Jafar Panahi and
Mojtaba Mirtahmasb
Origin: Iran
“Our problems are all our assets.”
Understanding this promising paradox
helped us not to lose hope, and to be able
to go on since we believe wherever in the
world that we live, we are going to face
problems, big or small. But it is our duty
not to be defeated and to think of
solutions. The reality of being alive and
the dream of keeping cinema alive
motivated us to go through the existing
limitations in Iranian cinema. The existing
possibilities in cinema have convinced us
that a filmmaker has only himself to
blame if he is unable to make films. The
discerning nature of art not only paves the
way for the artist to overcome problems,
but in the process of creativity, it turns
every limitation into a subject for work.
The unpleasant reality governing Iranian
cinema and filmmakers today drove us to
not overlook this (perhaps transient)
reality and to depict parts of it that were
reflected in us. Jafar Panahi, Mojtaba
Mirtahmasb (May the 5th of 2011)
