American Wine Story
USA | 2014 | 80 minutes
Q&A to follow screening
After an upstart winemaker’s untimely death, the sister
steps in to try to save her brother’s fledgling winery,
mainly for his eight-year-old son. American Wine Story
blends this with other tales of risk and reinvention
for those who are born again into the wine industry.
Combining the wonderful entrepreneurial American
spirit with a devotion that borders on obsession, this
film follows those strong enough to chase their dreams
with a bottle in one hand and a corkscrew in the other.

Frank vs. God
Brothers in Exile
USA | 2014 | 90 minutes | mature language
This is the story of two Cuban brothers, Livan and Orlando
Hernandez, who started their lives drenched in the baseball
culture of Cuba. Orlando, a national hero, played for the
Industriales of Havana. Livan, a hot prospect in Cuba, left first for
America, where he signed with the Florida Marlins. He became
one of the youngest World Series MVPs in history in 1997. In
Cuba, Orlando, wanting nothing more than his family and to play
baseball, was banned from baseball for life. In 1997, an increasingly
frustrated Orlando left Cuba in a small boat. Less than a year later,
“El Duque” was helping pitch the New York Yankees to a world
championship, completing a most unlikely journey for a pair of
brothers who rode their arms to freedom and triumph.
After a series of misfortunes ending with his house being
destroyed by a tornado which his insurance company
deems an “act of God,” former hotshot lawyer David Frank is
determined that someone must pay. Realizing there is no one
person to blame, he seizes on his insurance company’s reason
for denying his claim. He decides to serve God... with a lawsuit.

The Joe Roth Story
H2mexicO
Time: 12:30 pm
Time: 11:30 am
FREE! Voucher required for entrance due to limited seating.
This is the authorized doc that chronicles the remarkable
life of a rare phoenix, Joe Roth, who came to Cal in 1975
as a melanoma survivor and swiftly led the Golden Bears
to a co-championship of the Pac-8. A Heisman Trophy
favorite in 1976, Joe’s story took an unexpected turn
when his cancer returned that season. Not only did he
continue to play, but somehow kept his deteriorating
condition private. His personal battle became the
greatest secret in the history of college sports and the
courage, dignity and grace with which he lived his life,
became transcendent.

H2mexicO is not simply a documentary or a surf film,
it’s a groundbreaking, stand-up paddling journey on the
super surf-yacht Royal Pelagic that follows 8 superstars
who take the sport where it has never been before—the
rugged and surf drenched Baja coast. Kalama, Ching,
Mitchell, Patterson, Baxter, Trout, Boehne and Decoite
have transformed the sport from a fledgling hobby to a
worldwide phenomenon. Now, in the same style and flow
of the predecessor—the award-winning film, H2indO, filmed
in Indonesia—H2mexicO is slated to become the “Endless
Summer” for SUP. What they find will make history.

What happens when you combine Goodfellas with
college basketball? You get Playing for the Mob, the
story of how mobster Henry Hill—played by Ray Liotta in
the 1990 Martin Scorsese classic—orchestrated the fixing
of Boston College basketball games in 1978 and 1979.
The details of that point-shaving scandal are revealed
for the first time on film through the testimony of the
players, the federal investigators and the actual fixers,
including Hill, who died shortly after he was interviewed.
Playing for the Mob may be set in the seemingly golden
world of college basketball… but like Goodfellas, this is
a tale of greed, betrayal and reckoning. Ultimately, both
films share the same message: With that much money at
stake, you can’t trust anybody.

Our Tough Guy
What happens when a mild-mannered
man becomes one of hockey’s most
notorious “enforcers”? In one of the
most infamous moments in National
Hockey League history, on December
1, 1977, John Wensink, after just
fighting Alex Pirus of the Minnesota
North Stars, skated over to the
Minnesota bench and motioned with
his hands, challenging the entire team.
This short film captures the infamous
moment and career of John Wensink,
giving us a glimpse of the real man
behind the title of “enforcer.”
Director: Molly Schiot
It was 1975 and skateboarding was hugely popular
when Jim O’Mahoney, head of the U.S. Skateboard
Assn., got a call from the producer of ABC’s television
show, The Guinness Book of World Records. The
producer wanted to shoot a skateboarding event for
the show. As a child, O’Mahoney begged his parents
to drive fast over the steepest section of Hill Street,
an almost 30-degree incline in Signal Hill. O’Mahoney
told the TV producer he could create a downhill
skateboarding race on the steep Signal Hill incline
bordered by oil fields. For the next four years, Signal
Hill was the site of some of skateboarding’s hairiest
races and most vicious wipeouts. The Signal Hill Speed
Run, the world’s first downhill skateboard race, also
prompted several developments in the sport, including
street luge racing, fully enclosed skate-cars and the
introduction of women to the sport. The contestants
in Signal Hill’s downhill races remember them as wild,
death-defying parties on wheels.
