Selma is the story of a movement. The film chronicles the tumultuous three-month period, in 1965, when

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson (Tom Wilkinson) signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement.

Director Ava DuVernay’s Selma tells the real story of how the revered leader and visionary Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted change that forever altered history.

Mr. T U R N E R

written & directed by Mike Leigh

“Turner…was a giant among artists, single-minded and uncompromising, extraordinarily prolific,

revolutionary in his approach, consummate at his craft,

clairvoyant in his vision. Yet…eccentric, anarchic, vulnerable,

imperfect, erratic and sometimes uncouth.”

– Mike Leigh


About the film

Mr. Turner explores the last quarter century of the life of J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851), the single-

minded artist who worked hard and travelled extensively.

Turner is profoundly affected by the death of his ex-barber father and takes up with a widow, Mrs. Booth, a seaside landlady. He is plagued occasionally by an ex-lover, Sarah Danby, by whom he has two illegitimate adult daughters, whose existence he invariably denies.

Turner enjoys the hospitality of the landed aristocracy, he visits a brothel, he is fascinated by science, photography and railways. He is a popular if anarchic

member of the Royal Academy of Arts, and he has himself tied to the mast of a ship in bad weather in order to paint a snowstorm.

Celebrated by some and reviled by others, he refuses an offer of £100,000 from a millionaire who wants to buy all his work, preferring to bequeath it to the British nation, where Queen Victoria loathes his work.

Throughout the story he is loved by his stoical housekeeper, Hannah, whom he takes for granted and whom he occasionally exploits sexually.

Eventually he leads a double existence, living incognito with Mrs. Booth in Chelsea, where he dies. Hannah is unaware of this until the very end.

Merchants Of Doubt takes audiences on a satirically comedic and illuminating

ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive world of so-called “experts” who are

actually putting on a dazzling show designed to deceive the American public on some of the most important topics in our lives, from food to chemicals to climate change.

The film takes a behind-the-scenes look at the array of c h a r i s m a t i c pundits and s e l f - s t y l e d authorities who surround us and exposes the techniques they

use to fool and manipulate the public. "Magicians work hard to conceal their tricks and I think that’s also very true of public influence,” says Kenner; "the saying goes, ‘once revealed, never concealed.’ But hopefully, once you see the way these guys work, you’ll start to recognize their tricks.”

The film traces the history of this perilously charming breed of illusionists all the way back to the history of American spin, while also

revealing the impact they continue to have on vital issues of health and safety that are shaping the future. The story hones in on how these merchants have repeatedly forged mirages of raging scientific controversies where none actually exist. It divulges the stark reality that many of those in our media talking about health and science actually have little to no interest in health or science. Instead, their goal is to blur the facts and bring public action to a grinding halt.

“This is the story of a small group of people who have been remarkably effective at getting the public to disregard the science behind many issues. They did it first with tobacco, then with chemicals and food, and now they’re doing it with climate change,” says Kenner. “It’s a compelling story to watch unfold because these guys are so good—so horrifyingly good—at what they do.”

For Kenner, the inspiration for Merchants Of Doubt began with his previous film, the Academy Award®-nominated Food, Inc. “In the food world, I kept bumping into groups like ‘Center for Consumer Freedom’ that were doing everything in their power to keep us from knowing what’s in our food—it was Orwellian.” Center for Consumer Freedom claimed to be a pro-consumer, non-profit coalition but was actually financed by fast-food companies. Kenner was increasingly shocked by what he was seeing. How many of these groups were out there? How deep did their influence go?

The book “Merchants of Doubt” by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway confirmed his discovery that efforts to misinform the public were rampant. Oreskes and Conway’s writing presented a colossal exposé of how companies and organizations involved in oil, coal, agriculture, chemicals, tobacco and manufacturing had, over the last 50 years, distorted the public’s understanding of vital health and environmental issues through orchestrated campaigns of disinformation. Their conclusion: public trust in established science had been and was being deliberately and dangerously shattered by those who have political, corporate and personal agendas in opposition to the facts.

Kenner saw the book as a jumping-off point for investigating these merchants of doubt—Who are they? How do they operate? He began heading down a road that would lead him to some of the masters of American spin.

From the book “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand

About the Film

Academy Award®-winner Angelina Jolie directs and produces Unbroken, an epic drama that follows

the incredible life of Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini (Jack O’Connell) who, along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII—only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.

Adapted from Laura Hillenbrand’s enormously popular book, Unbroken brings to the big screen Zamperini’s unbelievable and inspiring true story about the resilient power of the human spirit.

Starring alongside O’Connell are Domhnall Gleeson and Finn Wittrock as Phil and Mac, the airmen with whom Zamperini endured perilous weeks adrift in the open Pacific, Garrett Hedlund and John Magaro as

fellow POWs who find an unexpected camaraderie during their internment, Alex Russell as Zamperini’s brother, Pete, and in his English-language feature debut, Japanese actor Miyavi as the brutal camp guard known only to the men as “The Bird.”

The film is produced by Jolie, as well as Clayton Townsend This Is 40, Matthew Baer City by the Sea and Erwin Stoff The Day the Earth Stood Still. Leading the accomplished behind-the-scenes crew is 11-time Oscar®-nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins Skyfall.

Academy Award®-winners Joel and Ethan Coen No Country for Old Men rewrote the screenplay from earlier drafts by William Nicholson Les Misérables and Richard LaGravenese (HBO’s Behind the Candelabra).

Unbroken arrives in theaters on Christmas Day 2014.

UNBROKEN

From a team of Oscar® and Emmy nominated filmmakers,

comes a feature documentary about the Soviet Union and the most successful dynasty in sports history: the Red Army hockey team. Told from the perspective of its captain Slava Fetisov, the story portrays his transformation from national hero to political enemy. From the USSR to Russia, the film examines how sport mirrors social and cultural movements and parallels the rise and fall of the Red Army team with the Soviet Union.

Red Army is an inspiring story about the Cold War played out on the ice rink and a man who stood up to a powerful system and paved the way for change for generations of Russians.

A Note From Director Gabe PolskyMaking Red Army provided an opportunity both to explore my heritage and to examine the impact hockey had on the culture, politics and legacy of the Soviet Union.

I was born and raised in the United States by Soviet immigrants who seldom spoke about their past. I got my first pair of skates at age six and played competitively

throughout my youth, ultimately for Yale University. Training in the U.S. was focused on winning rather than player development. Practice was often basic and redundant. Coaches only paid attention to the standout players who scored the most goals.

When I was 13, I moved to a team that hired a new coach from the Soviet Union. Like most American kids, all I knew about Soviet hockey was the country’s storied loss to the U.S. in the 1980 Olympics. The coach’s philosophy and training methods were rigorous and unusual: we were forced to walk on our hands and do somersaults on the ice; we carried tires and skated with teammates on our backs. Perhaps the biggest difference was that he encouraged creativity and taught us to think as a unit. Many in the Chicago hockey community didn’t take him seriously. But he transformed my entire concept of the sport. I tracked down old Soviet hockey footage and what I saw was eye-opening. Soviet hockey was amazingly creative and improvisational. The Soviets moved fluidly, like one body, and it looked more like an art form than a game. That’s how I wanted to play.

When I was at Yale, I studied politics and history and learned about the unusual role sport played in the Soviet Union. The Red Army team

was designed as an instrument of propaganda to prove the superiority of the Soviet system. The country’s investment in the team’s success was massive. The demanding lifestyle and oppressive circumstances under which the players trained were a reflection of broader Soviet society. It became clear to me that the Red Army’s style of play, too, was significantly informed by the country’s ideology. Much like Communism, there was little emphasis on the individual. Those who became heroes earned as much money as teachers. Priority was placed on serving your teammates and your country, and expressing individuality or questioning authority was forbidden.

Today’s Russian leadership is comprised both of devoted fans of the Red Army team and of the players themselves. To understand the history of the team and the era is to understand much about who makes decisions in Russia today.

Red Army is about how an incredibly oppressive system produced one of the greatest teams in history. That success came with tremendous personal costs. My intention in making this film is to honor the Soviet struggle and to celebrate the art that emerged from such a charged and unique time in history.

Directed and produced by Tim Burton, Big Eyes is based on the true story of Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), who

was one of the most successful painters of the 1950s and early 1960s. The artist earned staggering notoriety by revolutionizing the commercialization and accessibility of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big eyes. Eventually the truth would be discovered though: Keane's paintings actually were not created by himat all, but his wife Margaret (Amy Adams). The Keanes, it seemed, had been living a lie that had grown to gigantic proportions. Big Eyes centers on Margaret's awakening as an artist, the phenomenal success of her paintings and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, who was carapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work.

Inequality, injustice and the demands of the world we live in cause stress and depression for many people. Some of them, however,

explode. This is a movie about those people. Vulnerable in the face of a reality that shifts and suddenly turns unpredictable, the characters of Wild Tales cross the thin line that divides civilization and barbarism. A lover’s betrayal, a return to the repressed past and the violence woven into everyday encounters drive the characters to madness as they cede to the undeniable pleasure of losing control.

Director's Note

These tales sprang from the most unrestrained corners of the imagination. While I was working to develop other projects —often dispirited by the fact that they were impossible to realize—I began writing a series of short stories to vent my frustrations. When I put them together in one volume, I realized that they were connected by a series of themes that provided unity and coherence: they were all about catharsis, vengeance and destruction. And the undeniable pleasure of losing control.

I frequently think of Western capitalist society as a sort of transparent cage that reduces our sensitivity and distorts our bonds with others. Wild Tales presents a group of individuals who live within this cage

without being aware of its existence. But at that point where most of us would repress—or get depressed—these people shift into gear.

This involuntary project came together so quickly that it rose on my list of priorities and found a framework for production.

The telling of multiple stories represented an act of liberation for me because it brought me back to falling in love with reading. I remember it as if it were yesterday, discovering in the family library a set of fiction anthologies that got my attention: “Tales by the Masters of Crime,” “Tales by the Master of Mystery,” and “Tales by the Masters of Terror.” Later would come Amazing Stories (produced by Spielberg), New York Stories (by Scorsese, Coppola and Woody Allen) and J.D. Salinger’s Nine Stories. The paths that all of these works forged in my consciousness configured my current space for creative liberty and experimentation.
