OUR FILMS

Our Asian Film DVD pack contains three great award-winning films, Drifters from China, A Peck on the Cheek from India, and Be With Me from Singapore.

DRIFTERS
"Wang Xioashuai's follow-up to his fest hit Beijing Bicycle is another stern, compelling story of modern proletariat life as seen through the eyes of China's Seventh Generation filmmakers." --Jason Anderson, Eye Weekly

A PECK ON THE CHEEK
"A Peck on the Cheek is a sweet, funny, fairy tale about the adopted daughter of loving parents who wants to find her real mother, even if it means running away from home." --Adam Nayman, Eye Weekly

BE WITH ME
"I fell for the (2005 Cannes) Fortnight's opening film, 'Be With Me' . I didn't have any idea what was going on for the first half hour, but was in tears by the end, which is fairly rare (big surprise)" --  Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

Our Cannes Film Festival DVD pack contains three great films that have been featured at the Cannes Film Festival. These films include Roads to Koktebel from Russia, Raja from France & Morocco, and Who's Camus Anyway? from Japan.

ROADS TO KOKTEBEL
"In less talented hands, the plot could have turned into just another road movie. Instead, helmers' taut script, skill with performers and loving eye for natural beauty create a film that recalls vintage Terrence Malick" --Leslie Felperin, Variety.com

RAJA
"What distinguishes Raja from every other movie to contemplate the treacherous intersection of passion, avarice, and power is its unsettling emotional honesty." -- Stephen Holden, New York Times

WHO'S CAMUS ANYWAY?
"A cine-maniac's delight - true postmodernists, the students name drop Leos Carax, Quentin Tarantino and Luchino Visconti - Who's Camus Anyway? bristles with ferocious energy and wit" -- A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Give the documentary film lover in your life three great award-winning documentaries from Film Movement.

LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN
". a deeply moving 87 minutes that leave you feeling touched, renewed and refreshed- kind of like a great sermon" -- Nathalie Hopkinson, The Washington Post

OT: OUR TOWN
"OT plays like a jazzed-up version of Ulysses' 'Odyssey,' with the cast forced to traverse cultural chasms and scale seemingly insurmountable obstacles." -- Patrick Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

See Juno star Ellen Page in two of her earliest films, Marion Bridge where she stars with Deadwood's Molly Parker�and Wilby Wonderful where she is part�of a great ensemble cast that includes Greys Anatomy's Sandra Oh.

MARION BRIDGE
"When Marion Bridge, a small, exquisitely acted Canadian film, is observing the psychological tensions of three grown-up sisters attending their dying mother in a small Nova Scotia town, it uncovers a complexity and depth of feeling rarely glimpsed in a family drama." --Stephen Holden, New York Times

WILBY WONDERFUL
"Follows in the footsteps of films like Short Cuts and Magnolia...Writer/director Daniel MacIvor does a wonderful job of establishing this small town. to the extent that we feel like we know the place." --Reel Film Reviews

Our Films With Celebrities DVD pack provides a little of the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, but in an independent way of course. The award-winning films included are The Party's Over (starring Philip Seymour Hoffman), The Rage in Placid Lake (starring Miranda Richardson, Rose Byrne, and Ben Lee), and Wilby Wonderful (starring Sandra Oh).

THE PARTY'S OVER
"In the political documentary The Party's Over, actor Philip Seymour Hoffman serves as a guide crisscrossing the country, scrutinizing the political process during the presidential election of 2000." -- Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times

THE RAGE IN PLACID LAKE
"Richardson and McDonald are hilarious as the neo-hippy parents, with their casual talk about orgasms and their oddball approach to raising their son." --David Stratton, Variety

WILBY WONDERFUL
"Follows in the footsteps of films like Short Cuts and Magnolia...Writer/director Daniel MacIvor does a wonderful job of establishing this small town. to the extent that we feel like we know the place." --Reel Film Reviews

Our Spiritual Film DVD pack contains three great award-winning films with spiritual and religous themes. The films included are The Island from Russia, Le Grand Voyage from Morocco, and Let the Church Say Amen from USA.

THE ISLAND
"Pavel Lounguine surprises followers with his less-virile but oddly fascinating 'The Island.'.this parable about faith and salvation is addressed to the same kind of broad-minded arthouse audience drawn to spiritual themes." --Deborah Young, Variety

LE GRAND VOYAGE
"In this remarkable directorial debut, the stern father of a Muslim family in France has his teenage son drive him to Mecca for the religious pilgrimage known as the hajj." --Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle

LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN
". a deeply moving 87 minutes that leave you feeling touched, renewed and refreshed- kind of like a great sermon" -- Nathalie Hopkinson, The Washington Post

Our Sundance Film Festival DVD pack contains three great films that have been featured at the Sundance FIlm Festival. These films include Monster Thursday from Norway, Manito from USA, and Ali Zaoua from Morocco & France.

MONSTER THURSDAY
"Monster Thursday marks the emergence of an electrifying new voice in Scandanavian cinema" --Trevor Groth, Sundance Film Festival

MANITO
"Mr. Eason, using a hand-held camera and a largely new or nonprofessional cast, brilliantly captures the pulse of daily life in working-class, immigrant New York: the hectic rhythms of labor, leisure and family life, the stresses and pleasures, the anxieties and hopes." --A.O. Scott, New York Times

ALI ZAOUA
"Director Nabil Ayouch takes a subject that could be thoroughly depressing (the life of street kids in Morocco's port city of Casablanca) and -- through a simple story line, dramatic acting and National Geographic-like shots of the city's rough and pristine edges -- creates cinematic magic." --Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle
