Dear Film Enthusiasts,
Welcome to the 2014 Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival! Delaware’s oldest and largest film festival
is celebrating its 17th anniversary this year. I would like to congratulate the Rehoboth Beach Film Society on
this accomplishment, and I am proud that the Department of State, Delaware Division of the Arts is once again
supporting this exceptional mid-Atlantic film event.
This festival has become a grand celebration of film culture in Rehoboth with impressive ticket sales of over
19,000 in 2013. The great combination of American and International documentaries, full length and short films
joined with educational seminars, opportunities to converse with celebrities, and family friendly entertainment is
what makes this event so special.
Once again this year, a particularly worthy student film director will be the recipient of the Morris and Roslyn
Fierberg Student Film Award, which will be announced along with the audience favorite winning films. Additionally,
this year’s Country Spotlight will feature Mexico in order to facilitate learning about the Mexican film industry, as
well as, the culture and traditions of its people. An outstanding sidebar is the Regional Showcase which features
emerging filmmakers from Delaware and surrounding states.
Whether you are a Delaware native or a visitor with us, I know you will be entertained and enriched by this
outstanding cultural event!
Sincerely,
Jack A. Markell
Governor

Always moving forward…. is what can be said about the Rehoboth Beach Film Society. As a
developing organization, the Board and staff are continually looking ahead, working to expand
programming to reach more audiences, improve operations to increase efficiency, and bring
the best independent films to local communities throughout the year.
Those efforts reap benefits. The Film Society has been recognized by the Standards for
Excellence® Institute as having met all the requirements for the Standards for Excellence®
Tier One: Essentials-Adherence to Basic Legal, Regulatory, and Governance Practices. This means
the Film Society is committed to upholding basic principles and practices of strong nonprofit
management and governance. This effort was led by Governance Chair Julie Davis and John
Metz, assisted by President Darrel Grinstead, and included full participation of the Board of
Directors. This group work resulted in the Film Society being the first arts organization in the
State of Delaware and the first non-profit in Sussex County to achieve this recognition. The Film
Society’s application for Tiers 2 and 3 is currently being reviewed.
Sue Early
Executive Director
Recognizing the challenges of the future, the organization participated in the development of a three-year Strategic
Plan guided by a professional consultant and financially supported by the Delaware Division of the Arts. At the time of
the printing of this program, the plan was in the final stages of preparation.
Growth and change present challenges. Understandably this year’s change of producing the Festival at two locations
is an adjustment for all. The Film Society greatly appreciates the support and commitment of its members, sponsors,
and volunteers to continue the trend of making the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival one of the best cultural
events in Sussex County and the mid-Atlantic region.
Please remember the Film Society hosts screenings of wonderful independent films throughout the year at various
venues (see back cover). Visit www.rehobothfilm.com for information about locations, dates, and film descriptions.
Thank you for moving forward with us.
Sue Early, Executive Director, Rehoboth Beach Film Society
As Joe Sees It
The Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival strives to provide a blend of the best of American
independent and international films. While staying true to providing the audience with the best
in international films, this year the quality of the American independent films is phenomenal.
A-list actors and directors, probable Oscar® candidates and many dark horse contenders
compose this year’s programming. If the world famous Sundance Film Festival is the gold
standard for film, we have struck it rich as we will be screening over a dozen films from that
Festival. Some of the highlights include Little Accidents, Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, Listen Up Philip,
Land Ho! and 52 Tuesdays. All of this year’s films offer a unique perspective on independent film.
As usual the seminars and Country Spotlight: Mexico provides insight into the film world beyond

through Sunday morning’s A Conversation With Andrew Fierberg. Fenwick Island’s Matthew
Van Dyke is the subject of the film Point and Shoot dealing with his time “finding himself” and
then finding himself in the rebel army in Libya fighting for freedom. Learn about the Mexican
film industry with two distinguished experts in the field. Do you know what a Film Commission is and what they do to
support Independent Film? No? Well find out by attending the seminar discussing Film Commissions.
I normally end this preview with the same advice on taking a chance, going outside your comfort zone and see some
films that might challenge you or take you to a place you may not want to go. Spend time at the seminars, engage in the
Q&A sessions and let yourself be transported through all the experiences. Well I guess I did end the preview as I always
do, but it is a fitting end!

1 Read the program
3 Make a schedule
The program contains film descriptions, screening times,
locations, details on seminars and events, and all the
additional information you need.
Choose films and make a plan. Allow at least 20 minutes
between the end of a film and the start of the next, as the Fire
Marshal requires that everyone exit to the outside and re-enter
through the lobby at the Movies at Midway.
Festival Pass buyers will receive a Festival Program and ticket
ordering materials by US Mail in early October.
Beginning in mid-October, the program is posted online
at www.rehobothfilm.com and distributed at various local
businesses.
Programs can be purchased at the Festival’s Information
Booth for $1.00 each.
Please take note of the Festival’s sponsors and advertisers.
Their ads provide useful information about restaurants,
lodging, shopping, and services in the area.
2 Membership / Festival Pass
In order to purchase tickets to Festival screenings you must
have a Festival Pass. There are five levels, each with a different
set of benefits. A one-day Festival Pass is available for those
making a short visit.
Film Society membership is optional, but members do receive
a discount on the price of the Festival Pass and on film tickets.
Both Membership and Pass costs are 100% tax deductible to
the full extent of the law.
Include seminars, socializing, and special events.
Have alternate film choices in case of a sell-out. You
may find that the film you enjoy most is one you didn’t originally
intend to see. Keep an open mind and consider films outside your
comfort zone! Please list alternate films separately, not on your
order form. The RBFS website lists sell-outs that occur during prefestival ticket sales. Audience Favorites that screen on Saturday
and Sunday provide a second chance to see popular films.
The Festival Pass level determines when you may buy tickets. See
Purchase tickets for more information.

About the Cover
The theme for the seventeenth anniversary of the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival
was inspired by Claudia Ratner’s mixed digital media submission titled “Towering Infilmo”.
An iconic and beloved part of the coastal Delaware landscape, the towers provide a unique
and beautifully serene backdrop for beachgoers. As a local, Claudia grew up swimming
and surfing at Herring Point and Gordon’s Pond with the towers looming overhead.
Originally built as look-out towers during World War II, Claudia saw the towers’ artistic
Claudia Ratner
characteristics and used her original photograph as a starting point for her mixed digital
media artwork.
Claudia Ratner graduated from Cape Henlopen High School in June of this year. As
well as studying piano, Claudia’s extracurricular activities included 3 varsity sports,
National Honor Society and Leo’s Club. Her resume is very impressive for a recent high
school graduate with a variety of awards, recognitions, philanthropic experience, and
employment history. Claudia is currently in her freshman year at the University of South
Carolina majoring in Visual Communications. For many years Claudia attended the Film
Festival, but this year college studies will be a priority! Perhaps she can see some of the
films next summer from the Film Society’s Film Library.
Thank you Claudia for bringing a well-known historical landmark to life for this year’s Festival.
~ Rehoboth Beach Film Society

Sixteen-year-old Billie is blindsided by the news that
her mother is planning to transition from female to
male and that, during this time, Billie will live at her
father’s house. Billie and her mother have always been
extremely close, so the two make an agreement to meet
every Tuesday during their year apart. As her mother
transitions and becomes less emotionally available,
Billie covertly explores her own identity and sexuality
with two older schoolmates, testing the limits of her
own power, desire, and independence. Director Sophie
Hyde’s methodical, but organic, approach to filmmaking
results in a deeply authentic, bittersweet, and textured experience.
The fictional 52 Tuesdays was shot on a regimen of chronological
Tuesdays, allowing the characters to develop and evolve visually and
emotionally, their natural highs and lows unfolding before us. The role
of technology becomes central as both parent and child use modern
tools to document and alter their lives, compelling themselves, and
everyone around them, to arrive at a place of naked honesty.

Rebecca (Juliette Binoche, absolutely superb as a
highly-conflicted, work-obsessed photojournalist)
is one of world’s top war photojournalists, capturing
dangerous and chilling images in the most dire
landscapes, all in an effort to shed light on the real
cost of modern war. But she’s also a wife and mother,
leaving behind a husband and two young daughters
every time she travels to a new combat zone. After
a near-death experience chronicling the ritual of
a female suicide bomber, husband Marcus (Nikolaj
Coster-Waldau, Game of Thrones) levels an ultimatum:
give up the dangerous profession or lose the family
she counts on being there when she returns from each assignment.
Yet the conviction that her photos can make a difference keeps
pulling at Rebecca’s resolve, making it difficult for her to walk away
entirely. With an offer to photograph a refugee camp in Kenya, a
place allegedly so safe that daughter Steph is allowed to join her,
Rebecca comes face to face with just how much she risks each time
she steps back into the fray.

For Shirin, being part of a perfect Persian family isn’t
easy. Acceptance eludes her from all sides: her family
doesn’t know she’s bisexual, and her ex-girlfriend,
Maxine, can’t understand why she doesn’t tell them.
Even the six-year-old boys in her moviemaking class
are too ADD to focus on her for more than a second.
Following a family announcement of her brother’s
betrothal to a parentally-approved Iranian prize catch,
Shirin embarks on a private rebellion involving a series
of pansexual escapades, while trying to decipher
what went wrong with Maxine. Written and directed
by Desiree Akhavan (who also stars), Appropriate
Behavior introduces a gray area to the LGBT coming-out
narrative; in an Iranian-American family, sharing information about
one’s sexuality isn’t always the right approach to liberation. With her
priceless deadpan delivery, Akhavan’s portrayal of Shirin is the film’s
true revelation. She is a woman caught between self-doubt and selfpossession, trapped in a web of family mores and societal expectations
with all their accompanying, and often-hilarious complexities.

Movie Location: Cape Henlopen High School
There is perhaps no cinematic bond stronger than
that of the friendship between a boy and his dog. In
this film adaptation by Nicolas Vanier of the popular
novel, the setting has been shifted to World War II
on the French/Swiss border. Sébastien lives with his
grizzled grandfather, César, in a vertiginous mountain
village and crosses paths with a giant, filthy Pyrenean
Mountain Dog who the locals have dubbed “the Beast”
for allegedly killing livestock. Sébastien, however,
sees something good in the misunderstood canine and
eventually befriends the animal, naming her “Belle.”
Their budding friendship is put to the test when Nazi
occupiers march into town looking for members of the
French Resistance, who are guiding Jewish refugees to neighboring
Switzerland. With their intimate knowledge of the nooks and crannies
of the alpine valleys, Belle and Sébastien help point the way to safety,
with the merciless SS officer, Lieutenant Peter, tracking them every
step of the way. Using 35mm film and jaw-dropping scenery, Belle
and Sébastien is a charming homage to the beloved live-action nature
films of Disney, but with a pulse-pounding World War II subplot that
will thrill audiences of all ages.

Festival favorite Andrew Fierberg, producer of over
30 award winning films, makes his directorial debut
with a light, masterful touch in the wild romp, El Cielo
es Azul. Arturo (Osvaldo Benevides) and Oscar (Miguel
Rodarte) are a couple of wealthy man-children from
Mexico who come to New York City to party. Before
long they are joyriding in stolen cars, getting high,
seducing women and being chased by Immigration
Officials who suspect them of being terrorists. Fleeing
Manhattan, they find themselves in the Hamptons
where their shenanigans almost cost them their
freedom. Along the journey, the men meet up with an
assortment of beautiful, troubled and poetic characters that could
only inhabit an Indie film. Among the crazy cast of characters are
those played by ultra talented Stephanie Stigman ( Miss Bala) and
Barbara Sukowa (RBIFF 13 Hannah Arendt). Mistaken identities and
sexual promiscuity abound in this rambunctious comedy full of life,
love and hope, a true riot from start to finish.

In order to forget the stress of their daily lives, a group
of friends in a Tel Aviv suburb get together to watch
Universong, a Eurovision-like television song contest.
Yael is a former beauty queen unfulfilled by her job;
Dana is a stressed-out aide to a cabinet minister trying
to please her traditional father; Anat , has a successful
bakery but an unsuccessful marriage; Keren is a shy
blogger; Efrat is a frustrated singer- songwriter; and
Ofer is a nursery-school teacher who is upset that
his boyfriend is still in the closet and won’t publicly
acknowledge their romance. When the Universong
finale rolls around, they gather to watch and are
depressed by the lackluster Israeli entry, a parody of
many recent offerings, a flashy, grating song about “amour.” After
they realize that Anat is distraught over the crisis in her marriage,
they compose a song to cheer her up. As a lark, Ofer enters their
cellphone video of it in next year’s contest, and it becomes Israel’s
entry. Cupcakes is infectious and glorious escapism with light and
catchy music. It is like taking an extravagant 90-minute vacation
from reality, and who couldn’t use a vacation these days?

Somewhere high in the Alps, Greider, a lone rider,
makes his way along a hidden path and reaches a
small remote village. Nobody knows where he’s from
and, met with blatant distrust, nobody wants him in the
village. The sons of old Brenner, the village patriarch
who holds the entire community under his threatening,
violent ways, would have chased him away if Greider
hadn’t given them a fistful of gold coins. Greider
finds accommodations with the widow Gader and her
young daughter, Luzi. Soon to be married, Luzi is full
of trepidation because in this valley a wedding comes
with a terrible tradition. In the depths of winter, the
village is cut off by snowfall, barely a ray of sunlight reaches the
valley, and a tragic accident leads to the death of one of Brenner’s
beloved sons. When another son is mysteriously killed, it’s clear
this is not a coincidence: the time has come for Brenner’s family to
pay. The Dark Valley is a stylish and compelling revenge drama that
utilizes the motifs from the Western to depict the silent battle of a
community with its own laws.

As the Allies march toward Paris in the summer of 1944,
Hitler gives orders that the French capital should not
fall into enemy hands, or if it does, then ‘only as a field of
rubble’. The person assigned to carry out this barbaric
act is Wehrmacht commander of Greater Paris, General
Dietrich von Choltitz, who already has mines planted on
the Eiffel Tower, in the Louvre and Notre Dame, and on
the bridges over the Seine. Nothing should be left as a
reminder of the city’s former glory. However, at dawn
on August 25, Swedish Consul General Raoul Nordling
steals into German headquarters and there starts a
tension-filled game of cat and mouse as Nordling tries to
persuade Choltitz to abandon his plan. In this passionate
and emotional film, the great Volker Schlöndorff (Academy Award
winner The Tin Drum) has created a psychologically elaborate game of
political manners between two highly-contrasting characters. While
Choltitz entrenches himself behind his duty to obey unquestioningly all
military orders, Nordling tries everything he can to appeal to reason
and humanity and prevent the senseless destruction of the beloved
‘City of Lights’.

If you saw Elsa and Fred, Best Feature at the 2006
RBIFF, this is not the same film. A new stellar cast, new
location, and no sub-titles make this version a must see!
Elsa (Shirley MacLaine) is a feisty widow with a thing for
Fellini, and a tendency to stretch the truth a few extra
notches. Fred (Christopher Plummer) is a dyed-in-thewool curmudgeon, seemingly content to grumble at
anything within the proximity of his spacious New Orleans
apartment. When a housewares-related mishap brings
these next-door neighbors together, the sparks that fly are
far from the love-at-first-sight variety. As the two come into
increased contact with each other’s considerable quirks,
however, some exhilarating new possibilities begin to enter
the picture. Remaking the celebrated Spanish-Argentine
original, director Michael Radford’s film works as a refreshingly nonsaccharine look at the struggles, and rewards, of forging a relationship
in the twilight years, as well as a justified victory lap for its two stars,
who play off each beautifully. Bolstered by an exceptional supporting
cast (including Marcia Gay Harden, Scott Bakula, George Segal, and Chris
Noth), MacLaine and Plummer bring a lifetime of collective experience
to their scenes together, with a give-and-take energy that’s a wonder to
behold. Their unique chemistry results in a movie that feels both light and
deep, and which comes by its considerable emotions honestly.

When Uncle Gerry becomes ill, he puts his 17-year-old

It’s certainly not the classiest joint as customers rent by
the hour, and curtains are pulled over the carports so
no one can see their cars from the street. With his uncle
away in the city for treatment, Sebastian is left alone to
take care of the daily operations. It’s a boring existence
that is void of any real interactions since the customers
are usually in a hurry. He’s also forced to clean up after
them, as the motel still doesn’t have a competent maid.

them to small talk, forming a friendship that teeters on the brink of sex.
She’s drawn to his innocence, while his hormones are enamored by the
guidance of an older, more experienced woman. But, as The Empty Hours
skillfully demonstrates, sex isn’t everything.
Miranda, a real estate agent, comes to the motel frequently

Charlie once made a living as a traveling magician. His
picture-perfect marriage and family, though, has been
torn asunder by a crippling loss. What will Charlie do to
reclaim the family he loves? In this arresting drama, the
ideal of marriage and parenthood is tested by Charlie’s
grief-driven deviance, his overwhelming desire to raise
a child, and his ability to create the grandest illusion of
them all: happiness. With a young boy named Tommy
as a prop, Charlie’s wife Angela eventually becomes
complicit in the couple’s charade. Will Tommy fall under
their spell too, or will the grand illusion come unraveled? Writer/director
Max Currie’s debut feature is a stunning, even-handed depiction of the
lengths we’ll go to create and maintain the appearance of happiness.
But don’t be fooled; there is more here than meets the eye. Everything
We Loved is a fragile, meditative critique of the damage that arises from
emotional sleight-of-hand.

Frontera
Set along the tumultuous border area of Arizona and
Mexico, Michael Berry’s drama examines the chain of
events that play out when a former Arizona Sheriff’s
wife is killed while riding on their Ranch property.
It would appear a Mexican man crossing into the US
illegally is at fault. As the former Sheriff and current
Sheriff search for answers, lives are changed forever
and the facts as to who is really at fault in this tragedy
are nearly as tenuous and complex as the issues and
tensions between the people who live in this region on
either side of the line. Frontera’s all-star cast including
Ed Harris, Eva Longoria, Amy Madigan and Michael Pena
confront the difficult issues through a multi-layered, and emotionally
powerful story. The film takes a neutral stance on illegal immigration
and human trafficking by examining both sides of the complex issues
that deeply affects the U.S. and Mexico. It shows that a border might
divide two countries, but can’t divide humanity, for good or bad, we are
all part of the problem and the solution.

A nurturer by nature, cute, 18-year-old Lake is in what
seems to be a successful relationship with impassioned,
feminist girlfriend Desiree. But underneath the placid
surface, Lake has a particular fetish; he is attracted to
much older men, possessing a penchant for pensioners,
if you will. When his boozy mother, Marie, secures him a
gap-year job as an orderly at the Coup de Coeur nursing
home, Lake strikes up a romance with octogenarian
Melvyn Peabody, who springs to life when his young
lover begins replacing his meds with martinis. As people
discover their secret, the sexual outlaws head out on a
fugitive road trip, and before long, their relationship no longer seems
as unusual as it first appears. Don’t be frightened by the presence
of Canadian trash-art provocateur and director Bruce LaBruce.
Gerontophilia is as sweet and pleasing as his earlier works were
hardcore and confrontational. Wiser than he used to be, LaBruce rolls
out a beautiful and charming tale of love beyond prejudice. Gerontophilia
is an unapologetically queer update of Harold and Maude, sure to get a
rise…and tears…from generations new and old.

Juan and Samuel on a thrilling and brutal journey
north, hopping freight trains headed for Los Angeles.
A blossoming attraction to a Tzotzil Indian boy named
Chauk she meets on the way leads to anger and
bitterness. However, as the group faces life-and-death
challenges from bandits and corrupt law enforcement
they learn crucial life lessons about friendship and
loyalty. In his ambitious debut feature, director Diego
Quemada-Diez brings a gritty, near-documentary realism
and social conscience to a story about the excitement and horror young

Human Capital begins at the end, as a cyclist is run
off the road by a careening SUV the night before
Christmas Eve. As details emerge of the events leading
up to the accident, the lives of the well-to-do Bernaschi
family, privileged and detached, will intertwine with
the Rovellis, struggling to keep their comfortable
middle-class life, in ways neither could have expected.
Dino Rovelli, in dire financial straits, anticipates
the birth of twins with his second wife. Meanwhile,
Dino’s teenage daughter’s relationship with hedge
fund manager Giovanni Bernaschi’s playboy son
complicates an already tricky social dance of status,
money and ambition. Paolo Virzi’s taut character study
deconstructs the typical linear narrative, observing transformative
events from each character’s perspective. The result is a nuanced
account of desire, greed and the value of human life in an age of
rampant capitalism and financial manipulation. Valeria Golina and
Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, two of Italy’s leading actresses, star in a story
based on Stephen Amidon’s best-selling book of the same name that
twists love, class, and ambition into a singular, true-life story.

Kumiko lives in a cluttered, cramped apartment in
Tokyo with her pet rabbit, Bunzo. She works as an
office lady, robotically preparing tea and fetching dry
cleaning for her nitpicky boss. But on her own time,
she obsessively watches the well-known American
film Fargo on a weathered VHS tape. Rewinding and
fast-forwarding repeatedly, she meticulously maps
out where a briefcase of castaway loot is buried within
the fictional film. After hours of intense research—
convinced that her destiny depends on finding the
money—Kumiko heads to the United States and into
the harsh Minnesota winter to search for it. Inspired by
an urban legend about a Japanese woman who took a
similar journey, filmmaker brothers David and Nathan
Zellner tackle their most ambitious project to date. The Zellners’
love for lonely eccentrics remains intact, and Rinko Kikuchi gives
a fascinating performance as the introspective, withdrawn Kumiko,
whose increasing discomfort in the world leads her to retreat ever
further into isolation. Shot with breathtaking precision, offbeat,
funny, and lyrically beautiful, Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter soars to
transcendence as it reveals the beauty in the quest for reality, even
if that reality is just your own.

Nearly 44,000 children are abducted in India every year,
a quarter of whom are never traced. Most probably
wind up in the sex trade. That’s the background for this
powerful social protest film, inspired by a true story.
Thirteen-year-old Lakshmi is abducted along with
several other girls. Taken to a brothel, she learns from
a more experienced roommate how to survive. But
Lakshmi is not ready to accept her fate. Her repeated
attempts to escape only serve to remind her of the
futility of her situation, until one day the appearance
of a social worker offers a ray of hope. Against all
odds, the terrorized, degraded and scarred child is
more determined than ever to fight back. Resisting threats, coercion
and bribes, she shows rare courage and determination to stand up
in court in what becomes a landmark case. While an intense film,
Lakshmi is the true story of a remarkable child whose spirit could
not be broken.

Kevin Kline stars as swashbuckling Hollywood star and
notorious ladies’ man Errol Flynn in this stylish biopic
about the actor’s final years and romance with underage
starlet Beverly Aadland (Dakota Fanning). When Flynn
first pursues Aadland, she is hesitant; it is her ambitious
mother Florence (Susan Sarandon), her own dreams of
stardom shattered, who encourages the relationship.
Despite their May-December age difference, Flynn
and Aadland find themselves to be kindred spirits. He
provides her with excitement and freedom from the
tyranny of pursuing a career only her mother wants; she offers him
true affection as his popularity fades. Fanning is sweetly genuine as
the mature nymphet, and Sarandon paints a sharp yet sympathetic
portrait of misdirected ambition. Kline is superb as Errol Flynn,
charming, immature, generous, and ultimately afraid; a man shielding
himself with youth against the looming specter of death.

There is arguably no single figure as important to the
story of independence and democracy in the Americas
as Simón Bolívar (1783-1830). The Venezuelan military
and political leader played a critical role in ushering
Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Peru, and Ecuador toward
autonomy in the wake of Spanish domination. History
has long cemented Bolívar’s status as a visionary, but
even during his lifetime he was commonly known by his
people as “The Liberator.” Alberto Arvelo’s ambitious,
gorgeously-produced epic traces his transformation
from a dashing 19th century aristocrat, who wooed
and won a great Spanish beauty as his wife, into a fiery
and embattled revolutionary with a powerful army at his command.
Charismatic Venezuelan star Édgar Ramírez imbues Bolívar with a
complex humanity. Despondent after the premature death of his wife,
Bolívar spent years in exile in Europe, reveling in decadence, before
rediscovering his social conscience and returning to his native land.
There, taking up the sword, he began his amazing series of military
triumphs, captured in all their chaotic fury by Arvelo’s camera.

more like wives than friends: they talk to each other
on the toilet; they drive each other to the doctor. And

Despite some superficial drawbacks, he’s the kind of

Suddenly without a “partner,” Sasha is left to examine

this distinctively photographed, chillingly atmospheric
drama follows inseparable teen twins dispatched by

during W WII. They survive by assiduously exterminating
all human sentiment within themselves. Opening in
1944 amid quiet, civilized surroundings that are never

nightmarish vignettes. Everything is filtered through
the eyes of the 13-year-old brothers who narrate in
precise and objective-sounding tones. Left with their
cruel grandmother who starves, beats and otherwise
abuses them, the formerly pampered boys at first find
it difficult to adjust to their new surroundings. But as they inscribe
their thoughts and experiences in the notebook given to them by their
father, they realize the only way to cope with the inhumane world

Stations of the Cross is both an indic tment of fundamentalist faith and the articulation of an impressionable teen’s struggle to find her own path in life.
Maria lives in the modern world, yet her family and
her heart are faithful to a Catholic radicalism that
teaches and encourages sacrifice and devotion at every turn. As she struggles to balance her own desires
with the dictates of her family’s faith, she makes
ever more perilous sacrifices. Her attempts are to
please a God she worships unquestioningly, with the
pious hopes of curing the autistic younger brother she
adores. Desperate to please everyone, particularly a
critical and rigid mother, Maria soon finds herself trapped in the crossfire. It’s a story of vulnerability, faith, devotion, and radical religion, and
the filmmaking style is just as radical as the subject matter, telling the
story in only 14 fixed-angle long shots based on the Stations of the Cross,
thus allowing the viewer to contemplate the interactions on screen in an
entirely different way than in a traditional film.

Picture a Greek Orthodox funeral in South London with
proper music, a moving speech and a single mourner:
John May. Employed by the burial office, his job is to
notify the next of kin when someone passes away alone.
Only when all leads have been checked and all doors shut
will May (Eddie Marsan) close the case and organize the
funeral himself. This poignant tale about love, life, and
the afterlife is at times gently humorous, with deadpan
drama and a stark reminder that sometimes the best
we can hope for in life is having someone care when it
ends. May takes pride in choosing appropriate music
and writing special eulogies so that his dead clients can
rest in dignity. When budget cuts hit his department, he gets word that
he’ll be laid off. In the meantime, he works more assiduously than ever
on what will be his final case, an alcoholic man named Billy Stoke. The
search for Stoke’s friends takes him on a liberating journey through
England that allows him to start living his own life fully at last. Full of
lovingly rendered details and knowing character moments, Still Life is
a modern fable that will resonate for all.

Paul Haggis (Crash) brings to the screen a calculated
vision of the drama of love. Three stories set in cities
known for romance take raw and personal twists
as the characters grapple with the difficulties of
modern relationships. Paris: Michael (Liam Neeson),
a writer who recently left his wife Theresa (Maria
Bello), receives a visit from his lover Anna (Olivia
Wilde). The story explores their complicated on/off
relationship, as a terrible secret makes her unable to
commit. New York: Julia (Mila Kunis) is charged with
attempting to kill her son, resulting in his being put in
the custody of his father Rick (James Franco), who is
trying desperately to take the boy away from her. Rome: Sean (Adrien
Brody), an American businessman on a trip to Italy, falls in love with
Monica, an Italian woman, and is drawn into a plot to free Monica’s
daughter who has been kidnapped by an Italian gangster. With a
heavyweight cast, Haggis once again weaves an intricate narrative
out of seemingly separate worlds.

The Trip to Italy
Hosted

12:30 PM-2:20 PM by:
Touch of Italy
Michael Winterbottom’s 2010 film, The Trip, took
comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon—or semi
fictionalized versions thereof—on a restaurant tour
around northern England. In this witty and incisive followup, Winterbottom reunites the pair for a new culinary road
trip, retracing the steps of the Romantic poets’ grand
tour of Italy and indulging in some sparkling banter and
spot-on impersonations. Re-wetting our palates from the
earlier film, the characters enjoy mouthwatering meals
in gorgeous settings from Liguria to Capri while riffing
on subjects as varied as Batman’s vocal register, the
artistic merits of “Jagged Little Pill,” and, of course, the
virtue of sequels. Winterbottom trains his camera to capture the idyllic
Italian landscape and the gastronomic treasures being prepared and
consumed while keeping the film centered on the crackling chemistry
between the two leads. The Trip to Italy effortlessly melds the brilliant
comic interplay between Coogan and Brydon into quieter moments of
self-reflection, letting audiences into their insightful ruminations on the
nuances of friendship and the juggling of family and career. The result is
a biting portrait of modern-day masculinity.

and wounded by the past, she seems to live from

gets by on her wits, her good looks and charm, but at
her age, it is starting to wear thin. Then she meets Alice,
60, a beautiful widow, who has come to town to visit
her daughter Suzanne, 35, a too-busy corporate lawyer
who is a friend of Tru’s. Tru agrees to meet Alice and
let her into Suzanne’s house, for which she mysteriously
has a key. Sparks fly and Alice and Tru begin forging
an unlikely friendship…and more. Suzanne, who has a
deeply conflicted relationship with her mother and a complicated and
a secret past with Tru, becomes increasingly alarmed at the growing
bond between Tru and her mother. After Suzanne witnesses an intimate
moment between them, feeling jealous and threatened, she tries to
sabotage the budding romance. But it backfires, as true love is hard

Sebastian, this euphoric, sun-kissed, coming-of-age
fable dances entirely to its own tune. Stuck fending
off bullies and over-protective parents, Leonardo
spends his days allowing his best friend Giovana
to drag him around town. Being blind has always
been an inconvenience for Leonardo, but his angsty
adolescence gets a lift when the handsome and
smooth-talking Gabriel turns down numerous offers
from ogling girls to hang with Leonardo after school.
The longer they spend together, the more apparent
their shared attraction becomes, not just to them but
to a spurned Giovana as well. As social pressure mounts on both to
fit within their confined social boxes, the two must decide whether
to ignore their feelings or throw caution to the wind and admit they

Mexico’s version of a “popcorn flick,” this smashhit, culture-clash comedy from 35-year-old Mexican
director Gary Alazraki earned more than $26 million
at the domestic box office last year making it the
highest-grossing local film ever. “Wealth shall not
pass three generations,” goes the old adage, but that’s
cold comfort to widower and workaholic businessman
German Noble, who realizes the fortune he’s inherited
and continued to build, would soon be squandered
by his three spoiled-rotten kids if left to their own
devices. Eldest son Javi is a party animal with crazy
business schemes, daughter Barbie clings to her trust fund and her
boyfriend, and chick magnet Cha takes life as it comes. The answer?
A fake bankruptcy, of course, after which Noble forces the family to
move to the other side of the tracks and even worse his kids must all
get jobs with the little skills they have. This inventive satire about
the economic gulf in modern Mexico is shrewd and very funny. Stay
through the closing credits for a final surprise.

Barri (played with great aplomb by Indie darling Sophia
Takal) and Noah (a hilarious and adept performance
from director Lawrence Michael Levine), a newlyengaged Brooklyn couple, are disheartened by the
death of their elderly downstairs neighbor, Sylvia.
Though Noah sees nothing unusual about the old
woman’s death, Barri suspects foul play and sets out to
investigate, enlisting her roommate Jean to join her on
a reconnaissance mission to trail a possible suspect.
Tensions mount, however, when the investigation
uncovers unsettling secrets throughout the building,
including in their own apartment, and suddenly
everyone seems like a reasonable suspect. As if the
pressures of big city living and an impending marriage weren’t
enough, there just might be a killer loose! A highly entertaining and
carefully crafted film that gleefully and smartly references the likes
of Woody Allen’s Manhattan Murder Mystery and Peter Bogdanovich’s
What’s Up Doc? and their genre-classic forbearers, while maintaining
a thoroughly modern sense of life in the 21st century, Wild Canaries

In her debut feature, filmmaker Talya Lavie steps into
the spotlight with a zany, dark comedic portrait of
everyday life for a unit of young, female Israeli soldiers.
The human resources office at a remote desert base
ser ves as the setting for this cast of characters
who bide their time pushing paper and battling in
computer games, counting down the minutes until
they can return to civilian life. Amidst their boredom
and clashing personalities, issues of commitment (to
friendship, love, and country) are handled with humor
and sharp-edged wit. Reminiscent of Robert Altman’s classic MASH,
it’s a softly humorous and sad story about the frustrations of young
women thrust into the military complex who air their grievances with
a snark. Lavie combats the status quo by flipping genre on its head
and bending gender roles to a delight.

A witty, spirited and action packed adventure about Nono,

like his father, a famous police inspector, but his wild
nature constantly gets him into trouble. Gaby, his father’s
secretary, cherishes Nono and recognizes his anguish,
which comes from his lack of knowledge about his mother,
who died when he was very little. Two days before his bar

again. Once on the train, the over-imaginative boy discovers
one last chance to prove himself. Together with charming
international thief Felix Glick, an old acquaintance of his
father’s, he travels to the French Rivera and enters a world of disguises
and crazy pursuits, crossing paths with the famous singer Lola Ciperola
(played by Isabella Rossellini) and Zohara, a mysterious woman whose

In his vivid and thought-provoking filmmaking debut,
physician Ryan McGarry gives us unprecedented access
to America’s busiest Emergency Department. Amidst
real life-and-death situations, McGarry follows a
dedicated team of charismatic young doctors-in-training
as they wrestle openly with both their ideals and the
realities of saving lives in a complex and overburdened
system. Their training ground and source of inspiration
is “C-Booth,” Los Angeles County Hospital’s legendary
trauma bay, and the birthplace of Emergency Medicine,
where “more people have died and more people have
been saved than in any other square footage in the United
States.” Code Black offers a tense, doctor’s-eye view, right into the
heart of the healthcare debate, bringing us face to face with America’s
only 24/7 safety net. The adrenalin-rush of a documentary could not be
timelier. The camera plunges you right into the bloody chaos with these
doctors, sparing nothing of the horrors that are their reality, and reveals
their passion, their heroism, and their anger at a world that is pulling
them from patient care into a pit of bureaucracy. While Code Black takes
no position, it also takes no prisoners.

In 1972, John Wojtowicz attempted to rob a Brooklyn
bank to pay for his lover’s sex change operation. The
story was the basis for the film Dog Day Afternoon. The
Dog captures John, for the first time, telling his story in
his own unique, offensive, hilarious and heartbreaking
way. Drawing upon extraordinary archival footage, the
film shuffles between the 1970s and the 2000s. We gain
a historic perspective on New York’s gay liberation
movement, in which Wojtowicz played an active role. In
later footage, he remains a subversive force, backed by
the unconditional love of his mother, Terry, whose wit and charm infuse
the film. How and why the bank robbery took place is recounted in
gripping detail by Wojtowicz and various eyewitnesses. Filming began
in 2002 and the long-term dedication pays off in this unforgettable
portrait capturing all of the subject’s complexity: he is, by turns,
lovable, maniacal, heroic, and self-destructive. To call him larger than
life feels like an understatement.

busloads of newcomers step into the sad reality of

With unfettered access to electrifying and poignant moments,

At first glance, Fenwick Island’s Matthew VanDyke (Not
Anymore, A Story of Revolution in RBIFF 2013), a shy kid
who grew up in Baltimore with a sheltered upbringing
and a tormenting OCD diagnosis, is the last person you’d
imagine on the front lines of the 2011 Libyan revolution.
But after finishing grad school and escaping the U.S.
for “a crash course in manhood,” that’s exactly where a
winding path leads him. Motorcycling across North Africa
and the Middle East and spending time as an embedded
journalist in Iraq, Matthew lands in Libya, forming an
unexpected kinship with a group of young men who
transform his life. Matthew joins his friends in the rebel
army against Gaddafi, taking up arms (and a camera). Along the way, he
is captured and held in solitary confinement for six terrifying months.
Using much of VanDyke’s own footage, two-time Academy Award

On the heels of Twenty Feet from Stardom and Muscle
Shoals comes a reverent and exuberant love letter
to talent past and present. With the backdrop of an
incredible soundtrack, the royalty of blues and their
heirs celebrate the inter-generational and inter-racial
musical influence that Memphis had despite pervasive
segregation and discrimination. The film brings
multiple generations of award-winning Memphis
and Mississippi Delta musicians together, following
them through the creative process of recording an
historic new album, to re-imagine the utopia of racial,
gender, and generational collaboration of Memphis
in its heyday. Allowing what comes naturally to the
hardworking session musicians and few remaining stars, director
and record producer Martin Shore gathers an effusion of great
rhythms and great stories, including those by seventy something
firecracker Mavis Staples or scratchy-voiced scene stealer Charles
“Skip” Pitts. The bigger the personality, the more entertaining the
tales are. In what would be the last creative endeavor of too many an
artist, the spirit and soul of the blues, printed on wax by Stax and Hi
Records, is evoked once more. And it’s sweet to the ears.

In the 1920s, Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish
lawyer, tried to convince the international legal
system to create a legal classification for the horrific
crimes in Armenia. After escaping Nazi Germany and
coming to the United States, Lemkin coined the term
“genocide” and dedicated his life to building a system
of international law that would prevent such atrocities
from happening again. The film follows Lemkin’s story
and goes on to focus on four protagonists who carry on
his work to this day. These people are fighting to bring
to justice those who are responsible for the crimes
committed in Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Darfur, and Syria,
while the international political system does not offer
much action other than official reprimands. Director
Edet Belzberg pulls out her complete documentary arsenal utilizing
interviews, on location shooting, and chilling archival footage and
merges the elements eloquently together along with gorgeous
animated segments and readings from Lemkin’s actual diary. The
result, which earned two awards at Sundance, is very disturbing,
but also plants a seed of hope that the efforts of Lemkin and his
successors will bear fruit, if not in this generation, then in the future.

Fool’s Day
In this sweet and poignant film, an eight year old boy
will go to extreme measures to get what he really
wants: time with his father. Who knew that a simple
desire could be so complicated?
Fool’s Day is a deliciously dark comedy about a fourth
grade class that pulls an innocent April Fool’s prank
on their teacher... with disastrous results. Panicked
and fearing jail time, they set out to cover up their
crime before their D.A.R.E. officer shows up to teach
his weekly lesson.

The Gallant Captain
The Gunfighter
Inspired by characters and settings from the picture book
“The Legend of the Golden Snail” written and illustrated
by Graeme Base, this animated film tells the story of a boy
and his cat who journey into unknown waters with a bottle,
a boat and a vivid imagination.
A gunfighter in the old West starts off a chain reaction
when the voiceover announcing his entrance to a saloon
proceeds to give a laundry list of the town’s deepest
secrets. The Gunfighter is a little raw, a little raunchy
(it is the old west after all) and whole lot of fun.

Region al showcase
Changes to this year’s Festival almost meant the elimination of a favorite program, the Regional Showcase, which features
the works of emerging filmmakers. We felt that the Festival would be missing one of the connections to the community and
the audience, so we decided to utilize the Upstairs Screening Room in order to continue this wonderful series.
As has been the case in the past, the number of films we received that would fit into the Regional Showcase was overwhelming
and sadly we could not screen all of the films, but we do feel we have provided a great overview of the incredible work being
completed by individuals with a tie to the region. So enjoy the Regional Showcase!

Renowned restaurateur, creative chef, James Beard award recipient, and humanitarian Matt Haley passed away on August 19,
2014 from a fatal motorcycle accident in the mountains of India while on what was supposed to be a six-week humanitarian
expedition in northern India and Nepal.
In February of 2014, it was announced that Matt was named the recipient of the 2014 James Beard Foundation Humanitarian of
the Year Award for“interweaving his culinary work with philanthropic initiatives. His efforts, both on a local and global scale, are
helping to educate disadvantaged children and improve the agricultural conditions of countries around the world.”
It seems fitting to screen both films, Interview, 7 P.M. and Riding Solo to the Top of the World as a tribute to Matt Haley. Interview, 7
P.M. is a short film in which Matt has a major role. Riding Solo to the Top of the World gives a glimpse of the type of travel that Matt
would have experienced during his travels.
Sussex County was fortunate in so many ways to be in the path of Matt’s life journey. And so we pay tribute to Matt with a film that
reveals the challenges and pleasures of riding through a country that experiences challenges and pleasures.

Cinema South of the Border:
The Many Faces of Mexican Film
9:00 am – 10:30 AM, Friday, November 7
Location: Big Tent (bump-out)
Admission: Free (Advance registration is not required)
IN THE BEGINNING…THE SILENT FILM ERA 1895-1929:
With Edison’s Kinetoscope and Lumiere’s Cinematographe, at the dawning of the “new social media” in the late
1800’s, Mexico, as other countries, fell in love with cinema
and plunged, head first, into filmmaking. Recognized as
Mexico’s first filmmaker, Salvador Toscan Barragagan,
used his camera to document battles of the Mexican Revolution. In 1906, Mexico City hosted 16 movie salons with 14
more springing up by 1914. The 1920’s brought both political and economic strife to Mexico. Funding for the arts
was cut, and thusly filmmaking plummeted. Many film
stars migrated to the film capital of the world: Hollywood
1931-1960: GOLDEN AGE: In 1931, Mexico welcomed their
first “talkie”, Antonio Moreno’s Santa. During the 1940’s
and ‘50’s, production flourished. Mexico became the leader in Latin American cinema with a film industry so prosperous that famed Spanish director Luis Bunuel moved
from Europe and Hollywood to Mexico where he made seventeen films. From 1942 to 1957 Mexican film artists were
awarded five Oscar® awards and in 1952 Anthony Quinn was
the first Mexican actor to win the Oscar ® for his leading role
in Viva in Zapata.
NUEVO cine MEXICANO 1990-PRESENT: After a 30-year
lull, in 1990, government sponsorship and state support
of filmmaking helped create Nuevo cine Mexicano, or The
New Mexican Cinema. Once again, Mexican cinema began
to flourish. Today, the work of Mexican Directors such as
Alfonso Cuaron ( Y tu mama tambien, 2001,Gravity, 2013)
and Alejandro Gonzalez Imarritu (21 Grams, 2003, Babel,
2006), has earned multiple international nominations and
awards. Overall, Mexican film artists have earned 37 nominations and won 17 Oscars ®. Mexico has six film schools
and hosts twelve film festivals throughout the Country.
Join our distinguished panelists Mónica López-González
and Dr. David Wilt for an entertaining and informative
look at some of the historical and current issues in
Mexican Cinema.
Mónica López-González
co-founder and Artistic Director of La Petite Noiseuse Productions, is a cineaste, cognitive scientist, dramatist, and educator with a PhD
in Cognitive Science from Johns Hopkins University. Mónica’s artistic and scientific work aims to understand our creative capacities as
humans. She made her first documentary in 2010 on musical creativity and premiered her film “Moments” at ARTSCAPE 2013. In June 2014
she debuted the world premiere of her Spanish-language theatrical production, “Última Partida” (“The Final Draw”), in Baltimore, MD and
Washington, D.C. Mónica is Visiting Professor at Maryland Institute College of Art, Peabody Institute, and Johns Hopkins University.
Dr. David Wilt
is a Professorial Lecturer in Film Studies at The George Washington University and a Systems Librarian at the University of Maryland,
College Park. He has written or contributed to more than a dozen books on popular culture, including The Mexican Filmography, 1916-2001,
in addition to numerous articles, reviews, and DVD liner notes. He is a frequent speaker at conferences, film festivals and other events,
such as the Hirshhorn Museum’s “Summer Camp Film Festival,” which he hosted for 8 years. Dr. Wilt is particularly interested in the sociopolitical content of popular culture.

Film commissions are usually quasi-governmental, nonprofit, public organizations with a goal of getting media
production companies to film in their respective localities
by offering economic incentives. On-site production work
(film, television, and commercials) can favorably impact
an area’s economy as production crews tend to hire local,
skilled workers, rent equipment, purchase lodging and
many other supplies and amenities needed on location.
wood, but by becoming the hub and thrust of all film related activity within a jurisdiction. The role of this new
generation of Commissions often includes encouraging
the development and distribution of local productions,
increasing audiences for film product particularly via
film festivals, promoting the study of film and the acquisition of film related skills, and supporting a climate of
entrepreneurship.
Commissions may also provide support services to help
production work flow smoothly. In response to the growth
of on-location filming, such services have expanded dramatically and may range from scouting locations within
their area to trouble-shooting with local officials and
helping to cut through bureaucratic red tape.
While there are not many film commissions near
Rehoboth, we are excited to have three professionals talk
about how their particular organizations serve the needs
of their clients and respective locations. Jack Gerbes

Erin Jackson Wagner of another long-established

Mexico, our southern neighbor, is the Country Spotlight for this year’s festival. Mexico
overflows with colors, tastes, traditions, history and culture. Its landscape boasts majestic, forest-covered mountains, vast golden deserts, quaint rural villages, and busy
progressive cities. Tourism, agriculture and mining are three of the major industries.
Its coastal beaches, bathed by the Pacific on the west and the Atlantic on the east, are popular vacation spots. Its equatorial closeness provides constant warm weather, allowing for a
thriving agricultural industry which exports fruits and vegetables year-round. From within
the deep centers of the Mexican mountains comes a vast portion of the world’s supply of precious metals, mainly silver and gold.
While Mexico is known for many wonderful things, food is the best known export: tacos, enchiladas, burritos, quesadillas, tortillas, refried beans and rice dishes are loved the world over. And you may not know that Mexico introduced
chocolate to the world.
Mexican cinema boasts a rich history spanning 120 years. As in other Countries, its filmmaking has been shaped by
changes in the political, economical and cultural climate. As the millennium turned, Mexican filmmakers were winning
recognition and awards at the world’s largest festivals.
For the Country Spotlight movies, we chose a variety of Mexico’s finest narrative feature length and short films showcasing some of the country’s established filmmakers as well as the up and coming talent. Harsh political realities, rich
cultural heritage and the country’s gorgeous landscapes are all highlights of the films in the spotlight.
La Jaula De Oro (The Golden Dream) is an intense drama following four teens as they travel from Guatemala across Mexico
to find their dream in the City of Angels. (See page 40)
Las Horas Muertas (The Empty Hours) is a light-hearted drama about a young man who learns about life while managing
his uncle’s seaside motel. (See page 36)
Nosotros Los Nobles (We Are the Nobles) is an uplifting comedy looking at the family dynamics of a millionaire widower
and his three spoiled adult children. (See page 54)

Morris & Roslyn Fierberg Student Film Award (2014)
Both Morris and Roz were actively involved in the development of the Rehoboth Beach Film Society and its
award-winning Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival. In the Festival’s early years, their retail skills were
instrumental in starting a Merchandise Booth. They also assisted with reviewing films, recruiting additional
volunteers, and encouraging others to attend the Festival. Being quite resourceful, Roz and Morris persuaded
two of their sons, producer/director Andrew (Andy) Fierberg and Director of Photography Stephen Fierberg ,
to participate by allowing their films to be exhibited, facilitating seminars, and conducting post screening Q&A
sessions. The involvement of the Fierberg family will always be greatly appreciated.
The Morris and Roslyn Fierberg Student Film Award Endowment Fund was established in 2004 in memory of
Morris Fierberg. The fund’s name was expanded to include Roslyn just prior to her passing in 2010. The purpose of
this award program is to encourage student film production by acknowledging the outstanding work of a student
film director. Full-time high school or undergraduate students from the United States are eligible to participate.
Each year a review panel screens and rates each submission on originality, execution and overall quality. This
year the Committee reviewed eighteen submissions (15 features and three documentaries) from students of nine
states. The first place award is a $1,000 cash prize and the Honorable Mention award is a $250 Staples gift card.
First Place: Lizz Astor
Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Lizz is currently a student at the School of Visual Arts in New York City where
she majors in Film with a concentration in Directing. Currently Lizz is working with established filmmakers in
Baltimore and New York on the post-production side of several documentaries. She is also writing a few scripts
that she hopes to shoot this fall. Her film, Tank, is a narrative whose central focus is divorce. She wanted to
emphasize the damage that occurs when a child witnesses a parent in a place of weakness and how when one
relationship deteriorates, another can become stronger.
[2014, USA, Runtime: 7 min, Not Rated]
Honorable Mention: Jessica Crowell
Jessica is a life-long resident of Baltimore, Maryland. Her urge to create and tell stories led her to the Maryland
Institute College of Art where she majored in Video and Film Arts, graduating in 2014. She is eager to further
her career in writing, cinematography, and videography and hopes to someday develop her own production
company. Her film, Life Tracks, is a documentary about a classmate, Dave, whose life was tragically ended when
he was hit by a train. She made her film to both honor his life and to bring him along on her college journey.
[2014, USA, Runtime: 28 min, Not Rated]

What Makes Us Tick? is a
three-part analytical film
series that explores aspects
of the human experience.
Each film includes a postscreening discussion led by a
mental health professional.
The theme for the upcoming
2015 series is “Our Cultural
Narratives: exploring the
influences of our cultural
traditions.” Three films,
Bardsongs, Departures, and
High Noon will be used to
explore how our cultural
traditions, as told through
stories, music, and history,
influence our relations with
others and how these cultural
stories shape our behavior.
