Told in flashback from his wife’s deathbed, protagonist William Ward dives under the gloomy waters of his memory to recall the love story of his life with Venus, a girl belonging to the Lighting Clan, a peculiar Native American family living in Arkansas with a strange communion with electricity. Their love is a difficult scenario to play: in a very Greek-Shakespearean tragedy manner, both of them belong to different cultures and backgrounds.
Theater was the predecessor of cinema, and as it grew, cinema incorporated theater’s parallels and metaphors. In 1918, Swedish silent films began to transform idyllic landscapes into active participants, characters even, in cinematic drama. The stormy seas were now a metaphor of inner turmoil. The film puts to use its tempestuous and spectacular displays of thunder and lightning to indicate the passion felt between two young lovers, despite cultural divisiveness. Stars Danny Glover, Graham Green, Ashley Bell, Clayton Rohner, Tantoo Cardinal, Chelsea Ricketts, Mike Wade, Adriana Mather, Justin Olston.

The murdered man, Mr. Colbert, had come to Sparta from the North to build a new factory and his wife and business associates immediately point the finger at Endicott, the most powerful man in the county and the one who had the most to lose if a major new employer comes to the area.

“Zarafa” (Feature Animation)
Runtime 78 minutes Country France
Directed by Rémi Bezançon & Jean-Christophe Lie Cinematographer
Under a baobab tree, an old man tells a story to the children around him: The story of the everlasting friendship between 10-year-old Maki and Zarafa, an orphaned giraffe, a gift from the Pasha of Egypt to the King of France. Charles X. Hassan, Prince of the Desert, is instructed by the Pasha to deliver Zarafa to France. But Maki has made up his mind to do everything in his power to stop Hassan from fulfilling his mission and to bring the giraffe back to its native land – even if it means risking his own life – because he must fulfill his promise to Zarafa’s late mother. During an epic journey that takes them from Sudan to Paris, passing on the way through Alexandria, Marseille and the snow-capped Alps, they have many adventures, crossing paths with the aviator Malaterre, a pair of unusual twin cows called Mounh and Sounh, and the pirate queen Bouboulina. Loosely based on the tale of the very first giraffe to set foot in France, “Zarafa” (giraffe in Arabic) is a beautifully crafted hand-drawn animation that takes the spirit of classic Disney and adds a splash of contemporary humor and social comment making it appealing for the entire family.
Also plays Sun, Feb 16@2:25p
“Khumba” (Feature Animation) February 8
Runtime 85 minutes Country South Africa
Directed by Anthony Silverston Cinematographer
A wondrous story about animals embracing their differences. The titular young hero is a South African zebra who is born with only half of his stripes. The superstitious zebras conclude that Khumba is the cause of the drought that follows his birth. For them, no stripes means no rain. After a wise mantis gives him a map to a magic watering hole, Khumba heads out to find it. He is joined by a pair of wandering outcasts: the lonely and loving wildebeest Mama V and the flamboyant ostrich Bradley. A key musical number has Bradley singing a campfire version of “I Will Survive” with new lyrics: “I am ostracized.” Along the way, these misfits encounter various other isolated cults, from a family of meerkats living in a human-made animal sanctuary to a group of rock-dwelling rodents, known as dassies, on a mountain convinced that doomsday is nigh. A cruel and half-blind leopard also crosses their path. The voice acting from talented American, British and South African performers, including Jake T. Austin, Loretta Devine, Laurence Fishburne, Richard E. Grant, Liam Neeson, Steve Buscemi and Sindiwe Magona, is zany and emotionally charged.

February 11 @1:05pm “The Village of Peace” (Documentary)
Runtime 68 minutes Country Israel, US
Directed by Ben Schuder & Niko Philipides
In 1967, a group of 300 African Americans, now known as the African Hebrew Israelites, left the United States in an “Exodus,” returning to their homeland in Israel and establishing the long awaited “Kingdom of Yah,” otherwise known as “The Village of Peace” in a town called Dimona deep in the Negev Desert.
During the 1960s, Chicago was an epicenter for the Civil Rights movement and a source of dynamic social transformation for the country. Chicago was rife with persistent racism, discrimination, and inferior schools – which in turn created overcrowded slums leading to violence and drug abuse.
In 1966, like many others in his community, a bus driver named Ben Ammi struggled with the conditions that plagued his people in Chicago. Ben Ammi channeled these hardships into a “spiritual petition to God,” for an answer that would help his people. Ben Ammi received a message from a higher power, instructing him to lead his community back to the promised land of Israel. A leader of the rapidly growing Black Hebrew community in Chicago Ben Ammi was able to rally his closest followers for the “Exodus” back to the Promised Land.
Settling in Liberia for two years, the group became the African Hebrew Israelites. During those two years, known as the “cleansing period”, the community shed all bad habits and cultural moldings from the Western World, and then migrated on to Israel. This was a momentous milestone.
The African Hebrew Israelites are an incredible group of people that follow the strict laws of the Torah as a blueprint to life. They interpret this Holy Scripture in a unique way, unlike any other group or religion. All aspects of their lives are surrounded by these instructions from God. Their garments, diet, culture, education, beliefs, celebrations, and polygamist lifestyles are examples of their commitment to the word of God. They believe Israel to be part of North East Africa. The African Hebrew Israelites trace their lineage back to one of the Lost Tribes of Judea and claim to be direct descendants of the seed of Abraham.
The Village of Peace has grown from 300 to over 5,000 people in the past 40 years, largely in part due to the polygamist family structure and healthy lifestyle. Now at a crossroads, the Village of Peace community will need to overcome new challenges to their way of life. The founders of the community are growing old, and the youth are being exposed to outside influences and ideas, different experiences, ideologies, temptations, and lifestyles. (Tue, Feb 11@1:05p: also plays Sun, Feb 16@7:10p)
February 12 @1:20pm “The Dream: Martin Luther King in Palestine” (“Al Helm”) (Documentary) Runtime 93 minutes Country US
Directed by Connie Field Cinematographer Issa Aslan & Ramzi Maqdisi
The glorious strains of gospel music wash over the West Bank in Connie Field’s (Have You Heard From Johannesburg MVFF 2006; Freedom on My Mind MVFF 1994) potent new film. As the Palestinian National Theater and an African-American choir mount a touring play about Martin Luther King Jr., written by Stanford Professor and MLK, Jr. scholar Clay Carson, an impassioned cultural exchange ensues, new friendships are forged and attitudes are altered. A rousing portrait of the changes unfolding in the Middle East, this dynamic and complex work is born of a brilliantly simple and potent idea: what would happen if African-American Christians–the same group who served as exemplars of the Civil Rights Movement–could witness first hand the plight of Palestinians today? Field has done something truly impressive; she has folded multiple perspectives and forces together to truly moving effect.
(Mon, Feb 10@9:30p; Wed, Feb 12@1:20p; Sun, Feb 16@9:10p)
February 13 @1:10pm “Scrapper” (Narrative Feature)

Able to support his ailing mother with his monetary return, Hollis is set in his ways, content with his lot in life. When he meets an 18-year-old runaway with her own troubles, he finds his routine challenged, and soon he finds that there is more to life than the cast-off scraps of others. They end up forming a friendship but the forces in their lives threaten to destroy their new bond.

AFF 2014 will also screen three outstanding American films, released in 2013, which deserve a wider audience:
“Let the Fire Burn” (Documentary)
Jason Osder’s “Let the Fire Burn” is a masterfully crafted throw back into a time when mutual fear, suspicion and misunderstanding combusted in a grievous, fatal explosion. On May 13, 1985, three city blocks in West Philadelphia were engulfed in flames after police bombed the residence of MOVE, a radical organization that for years had antagonized city officials and neighbors. Eleven MOVE members were killed, with two inhabitants of MOVE’s home escaping. MOVE’s history in Philadelphia, its escalating confrontations with law enforcement, the city’s increasingly militarized police force and its shockingly ineffective political leadership are all examined producing a powerful story with emotional wallop.
CRITICS NOTE: The most surprising thing about the film is how first time director Osder, managed to make such a gripping documentary from found footage including news footage, court and police videos and MOVE videos. He spent twelve years combing archives, after his present day interviews with crucial figures and survivors proved useless. Happily Osder’s employer George Washington University teamed up with Temple University, giving him access to the complete materials of the Mayor Goode’s investigatory commission, including police stake out tapes, which were archived at Temple.
Editor Nels Bangerter makes an impressive driving story of his found elements, including historic and recent interviews and extended clips from the televised hearings. Most painful is the deposition of 13-year-old Michael Ward, the sole surviving child from the MOVE commune. Officer Berghaier, who entered the fire to save the two surviving kids, was morally aghast, “I thought a lot about those kids. I thought about my kids.”. Praised by the commission, he was hazed at the station and quit.
Ironies abound in Osder and Bangerter’s brilliant edit: DA Ed Rendell, future Democratic Governor (from 2003 to 2011) comments on the “commendable restraint” of the Police cut to images of cops kicking a man in the head. (Sun, Feb 9-8:15p; Wed, Feb 12-7:35p; Mon, Feb 17-6:20p)
“Go for Sisters” (Narrative)
Iconic American Indie director John Sayles’ “Go for Sisters” is a forceful ‘old-girls network’ story. Two old friends recovering addict Fontayne (Yolonda Ross) and her new parole officer Bernice (LisaGay Hamilton) reunite to find Bernice’s son Rodney, missing on the Mexican border. Edward James Olmos gives one of his strongest performances as
Freddy Suarez, a retired, near-bind police detective whose connections to the criminal world and ability to speak Spanish prove invaluable in tracking Rodney to Mexico. The parole officer, the recovering junkie, and the near-blind ex-cop take a character driven road trip south of the border. (Sun, Feb 9-7:05p)
“Blue Caprice” (Narrative)
IFC release, Alexandre Moors’s minimalist psychological thriller “Blue Caprice”, based on the horrific beltway Sniper case, features an ominous, twisted father-son relationship. Starring Isaiah Washington, Tequan Richmond and Tim Blake Nelson. (Sun, Feb 9 -7:30p; Wed, Feb 12-3:45p)
