A Late Quartet"Centered around four outstanding performances, Yaron Zilberman's fiction-feature debut feels like the work of a filmmaker who knows and appreciates the art form under scrutiny, laying a credible foundation for a story that lays bare the often melodramatic passions of the artistic soul." (Justin Chang, Variety) When the beloved cellist of a world-renowned string quartet receives a life changing diagnosis, the group's future suddenly hangs in the balance. Inspired by and structured around Beethoven's Opus 131 String Quartet in C-sharp minor, the film pays homage to chamber music and the cultural world of New York and stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Christopher Walken.

When his actions thrust him into the spotlight, he became a folk hero and spokesman for the need for bold action to create a just and healthy world.

The Green Wave“Global Watch: Crisis, Culture and Human Rights 2012” "That Ahadi and his team were able to safely compile, let alone edit together, this much ground-level footage is a feat in and of itself; that it comes together in such a compelling manner makes it almost vital." (Village Voice) How to cover a burgeoning revolution in a nation where pointing a camera the wrong way can mean a ticket to prison? Ali Samadi Ahadi’s solution: Take on-the-ground reporting from Twitter feeds, blogs, and cell-phone cameras; add interviews with protest organizers for context; and create vivid animation to depict events that could not be captured live. The result is a lively, and deeply human portrait of a people who will not abandon hope.
Ali Samadi Ahadi. 2010. 80 m. NR. Germany, English/German/Persian. Red Flag Releasing. 3:45 PM |

Invoking Justice“Global Watch: Crisis, Culture and Human Rights 2012” "I want to ask why there is one justice for men and another for women." (Akhtar Beevi, member of the Tamil Nadu Women's Jamaat) In South India, justice is meted out by jamaats, all-male councils that rule on family crimes- even spousal abuse and murder- via Islamic sharia law. In the face of their draconian decisions, a group of women establish their own jamaat- a brave effort that takes hold and spreads across the region. Danraj's intimate, deeply touching film follows several cases while exploring how the tenacious and compassionate women’s jamaats (which have settled 10,000 cases so far) have changed the face of justice in their homeland. Q&A Nov. 18, 7:00: filmmaker Deepa Danraj via Skype from India, with Senior Programmer Christopher Funderburg
