SUMMARY:SpIFF Presents Jupiter's Moon
DESCRIPTION:Hungary / 129 min. / Narrative \nDirected by Kornél Mundruczó \nWatch Trailer \nThe director of the critically acclaimed White God employs his uniquely talented eye to create this riveting Palme d’Or nominated supernatural thriller. Adorned with heart-pounding car chases and sensational gunfights that are complemented by beautifully fluid and kinetic camerawork\, Kornél Mundruczó brings spectacle that rivals any Hollywood production to tell a timely European story. A young refugee called Aryan is shot while illegally trying to cross the Hungarian border to escape his war-torn home. While tending him back to health\, a doctor at a refugee camp discovers that Aryan has gained an extraordinary talent – he can levitate at will. But the doctor has his own predicament that he needs to escape from and offers to smuggle Aryan out of the camp if\, in return\, he helps him make some money by using his new miraculous gift. With Jupiter’s Moon\, Mundruczó marks himself as one his generation’s most visionary directors by touching on eternally mythic themes and contemporary political issues alike with visually mind-bending aplomb. \nTickets availabe at: https://spokanefilmfestival.org/event/jupiters-moon/

SUMMARY:SpIFF Presents "Big Bad Fox"
DESCRIPTION:France / 80 min. / Narrative (Animated) \nDirected by Benjamin Renner & Patrick Imbert \nWatch Trailer \nCreators have been nominated for an Academy Award (Best Animated Feature\, 2012) for a previous film (Ernest & Celestine) \nThe countryside isn’t always as calm and peaceful as it’s made out to be\, and the animals on this farm are particularly agitated: a fox who mothers a family of chicks\, a rabbit who plays the stork\, and a duck who wants to be Santa Claus. If you think life in the country is a walk in the park\, think again! Directors Benjamin Renner and Patrick Imbert adapt Renner’s own acclaimed graphic novel into a delirious\, delightful triptych of interlocking stories\, with a pacing and visual spontaneity that harkens back to classic Looney Tunes shorts and slapstick two-reelers. But underneath the gags (and there are plenty of them)\, the three stories offer a sensitive and beautiful portrayal of family\, and the anxieties of modern life. \nAn animated comedy that can be enjoyed by the whole family. \nTickets are available at https://spokanefilmfestival.org/event/big-bad-fox/

SUMMARY:SpIFF Opening Night - Northwest’s Best
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by STCU. \nTickets are available at https://spokanefilmfestival.org/event/opening-night-northwests-best/ \nJoin SpIFF on opening night as we celebrate the best short and mid-length films made here in the Pacific Northwest. Our annual Best of the Northwest Shorts program will be followed by a program of select PNW mid-length films. One ticket gets you admission to both programs. \nBest of the Northwest\n\nMẹ\nDirected by Derek Kwan \nMẹ\, mother in the northern Vietnamese dialect\, follows two generations of moms as they create a new dish for the family restaurant. Reimagining their parent’s pho shop\, the next generation carries on the family legacy through Vietnamese cuisine. \n\n\nThe Child and the Dead\nDirected by Karina Ripper and Marc Ripper \nA modern gothic fable set in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Cosmic wonder and fates collide when a father\, his son and lover are left stranded after a car accident with a stranger. This is an occurrence\, a crime\, and the account through the eyes of a child. \n\n\nAngel and the Bear\nDirected by Dave Kotlan \nAngel comes into the coffee shop everyday\, not just for a cup of joe\, but to flirt with the handsome barista. Unfortunately\, the barista has a bit of an issue with shyness. Hiding behind a mask\, he discovers a way to be himself; charming\, funny\, and eloquent. Mentored by his blunt talking co-worker\, the barista must find the courage to strip away the mask and be himself\, for Angel’s sake. \n\n\nThe Little Things\nDirected by Evan Hoff \nThe Little Things is a nonfiction documentary story about the struggle of life as a victim of ASL. This film explores how Jenny fights ALS and how it has changed her view on life. \n\n\nCivil\nDirected by Stephen Takashima \nA black door-to-door salesman struggles to make his first sale when he spots a Confederate flag hanging on the wall of his potential client. \n\n\nFruit Therapy\nDirected by Nancy Gasper \nThe judge’s choice winner of the 2018 50 Hour Slam. \n\nBull Mountain Lookout\nDirected by Vanessa Newell \nA horror comedy about a Girl Scout troop leader who discovers the truth about the terrifying legend of Bull Mountain. \n\nThere Goes the Neighborhood\nDirected by Dan Evans \nShot over the course of a year in rapidly changing Northeast Portland\, Oregon\, ‘There goes the neighborhood’ distills the visual experience of gentrification into a 3-minute time-lapse film. It is a vivid\, photographic ride. Starting with the demolition of a century-old home\, the film offers evidence of some of what is lost and gained through redevelopment. It burns rubber through the construction of new luxury condominiums\, and culminates in a satirical dig at the end result of gentrification. \nMidlengths Program\n\nProof of Life\nDirected by Adam Harum \nThree days before Brad Thiessen was to enter his first 50k trail run\, he instead found myself being wheeled into the operating room to have a brain tumor removed. What was supposed to be a six-week recovery turned into an 18-month study in how things can go sideways. “Proof of Life” explores a year in the life of Brad Thiessen as he trains to finally run that elusive 50K\, and showcases the link between nature\, fitness\, and tackling a challenging goal in the pursuit of a meaningful life. \n\nFrom Parts Unknown\nDirected by Michael T. Worman \nJesse “Madman” Manson decided to live out his fantasy by starting an underground Professional Wrestling league in the backyards of Spokane\, Washington. Ten years later\, Spokane Anarchy Wrestling is gaining momentum and popularity\, but Jesse’s incurring injuries from years of wrestling are proving to be a threat to the one thing that has given him an outlet to express himself. \n\nForest on Fire\nDirected by Reed Harkness \nThe Eagle Creek fire devastated the Columbia River Gorge\, causing the local communities to evacuate\, and stranding 150 day-hikers who dramatically hike nearly 20 miles to safety. A 15-year-old boy\, who threw a lit firework into a dry ravine on the Eagle Creek Trail\, set the fire. The film includes reports from an eyewitness who saw the boy start the fire\, the stranded hikers\, and people from the local communities that endured the elements and looked after one another.

SUMMARY:Spokane Jewish Cultural Film Festival 2019 Night 3
DESCRIPTION:Shoelaces\nNot rated; some mild innuendo\, In Hebrew (English subtitles) – 102 mins. \nNominated for 8 Ophir Awards (Israeli Film Academy Awards) \nShoelaces tells the story of a complicated relationship between an aging father and his special-needs son\, whom he abandoned while he was still a young boy. Reuven’s kidneys are failing and his son\, Gadi\, wants to donate one of his own to help save his father’s life. However\, the transplant committee objects to the procedure\, claiming that Reuven\, as Gadi’s sole legal guardian\, does not have the right to authorize such an invasive procedure. Through the film’s portrayal of love\, rejection\, and co-dependency\, it sheds light on the importance of human life and human connection. \nTickets available at: http://sajfs.org/our-programs/sjcff/
