RESTREPO (R)
September 3 - September 9
Restrepo is
a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of
a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley.
The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, "Restrepo,"
named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. It was
considered one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S.
military. This is an entirely experiential film: the cameras
never leave the valley; there are no interviews with generals
or diplomats. The only goal is to make viewers feel as if they
have just been through a 94-minute deployment. This is war,
full stop. The conclusions are up to you. Directed by Tim
Hetherington and Sebastian Junger (author of "The Perfect
Storm").

tormenting journey as they participate in humanity's most
massive annual migration of people. Each year 200 million
factory workers from China's rapidly developing coasts travel

celebration. This critically acclaimed feature is a
fascination look into a fast-changing modern China. The

at once exotic, terrifying and eerily prophetic of what lies
ahead."

SOUL KITCHEN (NR)
Coming Soon
Young
restaurant owner Zinos (Adam Bousdoukos) is down on his luck.
His girlfriend Nadine (Pheline Roggan) has moved to Shanghai,
his Soul Kitchen customers are boycotting the new gourmet
chef, and he's having back trouble! Things start looking up
when the hip crowd embraces his revamped culinary concept, but
that doesn‘t mend Zinos's broken heart. He decides to fly to
China for Nadine, leaving the restaurant in the hands of his
unreliable ex-con brother Illias (Moritz Bleibtreu, The
Baader Meinhof Complex, Run Lola Run). Both decisions turn
out disastrous: Illias gambles away the restaurant to a shady
real estate agent and Nadine has found a new lover! But
brothers Zinos and Illias might still have one last chance to
get Soul Kitchen back if they can stop arguing and work
together as a team. Directed by Fatih Akin (The Edge of
Heaven, New York, I Love You). (Fully subtitled)
