When you’re built to be the world’s best, you tend to build quite a following. VanityFair.com described the all-new ATS as “...the car we ’re most excited about.” Car and Driver said, “...the ATS is the real deal...” And perhaps most impressive of all, it was the only car in the world to be named the 2013 North American Car of the Year. Introducing the Cadillac ATS.

We are humbled by and truly grateful for the incredible support of our mission and vision demonstrated by these wonderful sponsors.

FADE IN

FOUNDERS’ WELCOME NAPA VALLEY, FALL 2013 Welcome to the third annual Napa Valley Film Festival. Wise folks say the third time’s the charm; if that’s the case then we are all in for a truly magical and transformative experience this November. After our first two full-bodied fests in 2011 and 2012, our latest vintage has it all: a hundred or so new independent films, exclusive sneak previews of Oscar hopefuls, three hundred filmmakers and film industry guests, free-flowing food and wine, and non-stop opportunities to mix and mingle with old friends and new. Moreover, this year’s fest runs a full week long, beginning on Monday, November 11, Veterans Day, with a cinematic salute to those who’ve served our country in the various branches of the armed services. The films, panels, conversations, and tastings continue all the way to Sunday evening’s Closing Night Screenings, Awards Ceremony and Wrap Party. Our festival’s development is being nurtured by shared passions for film, food and wine; the experiences we create guided by instincts for hospitality and a spirit of discovery. Each year we seek out films that reveal something about the human condition, hopefully something positive. This year, we have introduced a thematic focus on the empowerment of women and girls, and on the fight for all peoples to have the opportunity to reach their full potential. It is fitting that as we write this so many people are seeing Lee Daniels’ The Butler in theaters, and that its star Forest Whitaker is joining us in support of the powerful film Sewing Hope, and that our official Closing Night Presentation is Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. From Veterans to Freedom Riders, during this harvest season we have many people to thank and much for which to be thankful. So many have sacrificed so that we may sit in the dark and be transported by the filmmakers’ art and artistry. Now that’s something worth toasting. See you at the movies!

SIDEBAR COLOR GUIDE

START HERE The Napa Valley Film Festival takes place simultaneously in four walk-able Festival Villages: Napa, Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga. You can base yourself in one village or check out a different town each day; it’s all up to you and your preferred schedule and experience. Screenings, panels, and events are organized to invite conversation amongst artists and audiences. Most films screen multiple times up and down the valley, so you can stay out of your car and focus instead on eating, drinking, and talking about all the great movies! In each village, you’ll find: • VILLAGE CENTER (Will-Call / Box Office / Merchandise / Info, see page 11) • MULTIPLE SCREENING VENUES (details page 34) • WINE PAVILION (details page 117) • FESTIVAL FRONT PORCHES (unique hospitality venues for attendees, details page 118) New this year is the interactive LifeStyle Pavilion in downtown Napa (page 114). PASSES & TICKETS (please see page 11 for all passes and ticket options) The best way to experience our Festival is with a PASS. We offer three levels of Passholder experience: FESTIVAL PASS, PASS PLUS, or our exclusive PATRON CIRCLE. We also offer DAY PASSES, RUSH TICKETS, and individual tickets to certain special events. Not only does your Pass get you into screening venues, panels, wine tastings, and various special events; it also gets you many Passholder Perks (page 121) from local businesses throughout Napa Valley. SCREENINGS & EVENTS At all programs there will be three groups entering. Patrons enter first. Other Passholders enter second. Rush Tickets enter third (space available). To catch the films you want to see, please arrive at least 20 minutes before showtime.

Plus you never know which filmmakers and celebs you might bump into!

Upcoming projects include: screenwriter on Columbia Pictures The American Can; andThe Goree Girls, a Dreamworks SKG film.

SPOTLIGHT TRIBUTE: COLIN FARRELL Born and raised in Castleknock in the Republic of Ireland, Colin’s first ambition was to follow in the footsteps of his father, former football player, Eamon Farrell. However, his interest soon turned towards acting and he joined the Gaity School of Drama in Dublin. In 2009, Colin won a Golden Globe for his role in In Bruges and recently re-teamed with director Martin McDonough for Seven Psychopaths. Colin appears in the title role of Mr. Banks in director John Lee Hancock’s Saving Mr. Banks, playing at this year’s Napa Valley Film Festival.

RISING STARS Each year, in partnership with our friends at Domaine Chandon, we bring to the attention of our audience young actors and actresses just starting to make their impacts felt. Past recipients have included Felicity Jones, Adam Driver, and Imogen Poots.

DIANNA AGRON | Dianna is on her way to becoming one of the most versatile and sought after talented young actresses in Hollywood. She was recently seen playing Quinn Fabray on Fox’s hit television series Glee for which she has been nominated for three Teen Choice Awards. The cast has also won ‘Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble’ at the 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Golden Globe Awards for ‘Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy.’ Agron starred in I Am Number Four in 2011 and will next be seen in Luc Besson’s The Family, which follows the notorious Manzoni family when they relocate to Normandy under the witness protection program. Fitting in becomes challenging as their old habits die hard. The film also stars Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Tommy Lee Jones.

MILES TELLER | Miles made his feature screen debut opposite Nicole Kidman in the film based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Rabbit Hole. In this tragic family drama, directed by John Cameron Mitchell, Miles played Jason Willette, a bit of a loner teen who escapes into a world of comic books and science fiction. In October of 2011, Miles was cast as Willard in Paramount’s remake of Footloose. He was recently seen in Relativity’s 21 And Over and Todd Phillips’ Project X. He also starred in the 2013 Sundance hit The Spectacular Now with Shailene Woodley and recently wrapped production on Get A Job opposite Bryan Cranston and Anna Kendrick, Two Night Stand with Analeigh Tipton and Kid Cudi, and Are We Officially Dating with Zac Efron and Michael B. Jordan. He is currently filming Divergent, based on the best-selling novel by Veronica Roth, which has been compared to similar young adult books such as The Hunger Games. Miles now makes his home in Los Angeles.

FROM LA TO SF IN LESS TIME THAN LA TO LA. INTRODUCING THE FIRST BUSINESS SHUTTLE TO SFO. The city of one long, constant rush hour needs a quicker way to travel. So Delta now offers 15 daily business shuttles between LAX and SFO, with a flexible schedule for those without one. Not only that, we offer a new fleet that includes First Class and Economy Comfort,™ as well as amenities that include Wi-Fi and complimentary snacks and drinks. Seems that the Los Angeles commute just got a lot less cliché.

DELTA.COM

Selecting films for a film festival is a daunting task, but then so is choosing what films to see while you’re attending. For our third annual festival we received over 750 submissions, an increase of nearly 50% over last year. We culled through these submissions - along with tracking award-winning entries from Sundance, SXSW, Cannes, Tribeca and other notable festivals to assure that we are presenting the best films possible. This year we’re showcasing over 115 films, from feature to short length, and in narrative and documentary form. We are debuting a new animated short film competition sponsored by Amazon Web Services and Intel. From Tuesday through Thursday, be on the lookout for six on-the-fly filmmaking teams competing to make a 5-minute film in less than 60 hours for our SONY 4K Film Challenge.

PROGRAMMERS’ NOTE

Central themes that arose this year include: unusual relationships, music and art, food and wine, coping with loss, female empowerment, and the triumph and resilience of the human spirit. While we love each and every one of these films, we know you probably won’t catch them all. So, outside of joining our programming staff, we offer two suggestions for finding the films that will appeal to you most. The first is rather obvious: take some time with this program guide to read about the films and see what jumps out. Second is the main reason we created this fest: talk to other attendees about what they have seen and liked. Over a glass of Napa Valley’s finest at a wine pavilion, over lunch or dinner, or even while waiting for a film to start… all are great opportunities to compare notes and find your “gems”. By the time we get to the Awards Ceremony on Sunday evening, we hope that you will not only have a number of new favorite films to cheer on, but new friends and experiences that go ‘far beyond film’. Thus, we encourage you to slow down and discover the great stories and filmmakers of this year’s fest as well as the unique, sense-awakening experience that is the Napa Valley Film Festival. Thanks for joining us. We hope you enjoy the festival as much as we have enjoyed creating it.

When Walt Disney’s daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers’ “Mary Poppins,” he made them a promise - one that he didn’t realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney’s plans for the adaptation.

SAVING MR. BANKS

SHOWTIMES

For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn’t budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp. Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson lead a wonderful cast that expertly spin the dual stories of the “real” Mary Poppins and the creation of the cinema hit that charmed the world. Saving Mr. Banks is a sweet and touching story for all ages. Generously supported by Jennifer Carrico & Chris Kelly About the filmmaker John Lee Hancock has established himself as a distinctive voice in filmmaking.

An extended circle of friends, associates, and random strangers will serve to make a hilarious mess of things. The Bounceback takes us cavorting through Austin’s honkytonks, nightclubs, and even to a cutthroat “air-sex” competition, as the two former couples attempt bouncing back from heartache. A crowd-pleasing, irreverent and heartfelt comedy, The Bounceback is from director Bryan Poyser, previously nominated for two Film Independent Spirit Awards, for his hit 2010 Sundance film Lovers of Hate.

For some people, life is an adventure filled with opportunities to excel and worlds to explore. But for Walter Himmelstein, a young man endearingly known as Putzel, life doesn’t extend beyond his family’s fish store and his tight-knit community on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Walter’s dream of taking over his uncle’s smoked fish emporium is disrupted by the arrival of Sally, a force of nature who becomes romantically involved with his about-to-retire and very-married boss and uncle. As Walter tries to thwart their romance in order to ensure his future, he finds his circumscribed life thrown off kilter. After years of being undermined by his family and friends, he finally begins to realize his full potential. With Sally’s help, Walter confronts his fears and proves he is more than just a Putzel. Director Jason Chaet’s debut feature delivers a character-driven, amusing, and satisfying romantic comedy with an excellent and fully-realized cast of characters.

16 Acres 16 Acres is the confounding and thoroughly engrossing story of the rebuilding of the World Trade Center, as told by the key players who have shaped the site. At the heart of the story is the dramatic tension between the noblest of intentions and the politics, hubris, and ideology that is the bedrock of New York. Behind any great story are multiple powers trying to shape things to their own design. Director Richard Hankinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film deftly examines the feuding interests in New York City, as they grapple with the legacy of the iconic location. The troubled architectural battles and political gamesmanship that went on behind the scenes approach Greek tragedy levels, and yet the end result will still likely be a fitting tribute to the many lives that were lost on September 11.

Acclaimed author Alice Walker has lived an amazing life. While much of her journey has informed and helped to create compelling works (The Color Purple and others), her actual life story is truly fascinating and engrossing. Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth tells that story from her birth in a paper thin shack in the cotton fields of Georgia, to her recognition as a key writer of the twentieth century. Walker made history as the first black woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for her groundbreaking novel, The Color Purple. That book is just one chapter in her story. Walker has been a witness to dramatic changes in this country regarding race, feminism, and other social/political changes over the past 50 years. Documentary filmmaker Pratibha Parmarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film is a penetrating look at the life and art of an artist, a self-confessed renegade, and human rights activist.

Bidder 70 Bidder 70 is the story of Tim DeChristopher, a graduate student who monkey-wrenched a fraudulent Bureau of Land Management oil and gas leasing auction in December 2008. He bid $1.8 million to save 22,000 acres of pristine Utah wilderness. The wrench: he didn’t have the funds. Co-Directors Beth and George Gage include us on Tim’s journey from economics student to indicted activist. Tim was able to bring the BLM process to an abrupt halt in a stunning act of civil disobedience. In February 2009, the new Obama administration retroactively invalidated the entire BLM auction that DeChristopher participated in. Nevertheless, DeChristopher was federally indicted, facing up to ten years in prison and $750,000 in fines for his disruption of the illegal auction. Over the next two years, DeChristopher stepped up his activism and evolved into a climate justice leader. His trial began on February 28, 2011. DeChristoper’s story is inspiring, tragic, and infuriating at times, a real life “David vs. Goliath” tale.

About the filmmakers In a complete “about-face” co-directors Beth and George Gage turned from careers producing and directing TV commercials and fictional features in Los Angeles to producing documentaries with a conscience in Telluride, Colorado. They have been sharing this rewarding journey since 1993. Bidder 70 is their latest project.

Director Cecilia Peck’s verité film follows Linor’s global travels as she reaches out to other victims from American college campuses to the townships of South Africa. But Linor’s own rape comes back to haunt her when she learns that her serial rapist becomes eligible for parole. Brave Miss World follows a remarkable young woman willing to use her own rape as a case study to help others, all the while racing against the clock to find her rapists’ previous victims who may be able to help her keep him in prison. An inspiring and startlingly honest story of bravery and compassion, the film is a look into the dark side of beauty pageants and how one woman refused to let her abuse be forgotten.

About the filmmaker Cecilia Peck previously directed and produced Shut Up & Sing, about the backlash against the Dixie Chicks for opposing the Iraq War.

The Fabulous Ice Age The Fabulous Ice Age chronicles a century of theatrical skating, from Berlin’s Charlotte in 1915, to America’s Ice Follies, Ice Capades, Holiday on Ice, and the Sonja Henie shows. The film illustrates how ice dancing dominated live entertainment for decades, while also depicting one skater’s passionate quest to share this history. Never-before-seen footage, photos, and memorabilia highlight a handful of skaters, producers, and entrepreneurs who helped change the modern skating world. Starting in America with the Hippodrome, hotel shows, and big arena shows, Holiday on Ice then brought skating to Europe, behind the Iron Curtain, to Asia, Africa, and South America, where entertainment on ice had never been seen before. For anyone who grew up in the 1960’s through the 1980’s, the names of these shows and performers will be instantly familiar and the memories will come spilling back. A concise and in-depth portrait of a by-gone era, Director Keri Pickett’s The Fabulous Ice Age recounts a different time and the stars that made it so memorable for audiences around the world.

About the filmmaker The Fabulous Ice Age is Keri Pickett’s first feature film; it received a Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant. Keri served as the film’s producer, director and director of photography. Previously, Keri has been an award-winning photographer and author of Love in the 90s, B.B. & Jo: The Story of a Lifelong Love, A Granddaughter’s Portrait (Warner Books, 1995), and Faeries, (Aperture Books, 2000).

If You Build It FILM INFO RUN TIME: 83 min DIRECTOR: Patrick Creadon PRODUCERS: Christine O’Malley

Designer Emily Pilloton and her partner Matt Miller are “Project H Design,” whose job is creating and implementing initiatives for “Humanity, Habitats, Health, and Happiness.”  Their work caught the attention of many people around the world, including a maverick school superintendent in Bertie County, North Carolina—the state’s poorest county and one of the poorest in the country.

DOCUMENTARY FEATURES:

IF YOU BUILD IT

SHOWTIMES

Emily and Matt were soon invited to come to Bertie County to help the education official rethink the mission of his schools. After months of work, Matt and Emily pitched the superintendent a radical idea: to take the ‘design thinking’ philosophy and create a high-school curriculum around it. The superintendent was game and the “Studio H” project began. Director Patrick Creadon’s If You Build It chronicles the two-year journey of Emily and Matt and their students, as they remake the idea of hands-on education and deliver so much more than anyone thought possible.

About the filmmaker Patrick Creadon was born in Chicago, went to college at Notre Dame, and earned his Master’s Degree in Cinematography from the American Film Institute. His feature-length directorial debut Wordplay was a breakout hit at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and went on to become one of the top 25 highest grossing documentaries of all time. Patrick’s film I.O.U.S.A., a non-partisan examination of America’s national debt, premiered at Sundance in 2008 and was shortlisted for Best Documentary for the Academy Awards.

THE LAST WHITE KNIGHT

The Last White Knight In 1965, two men, a white segregationist and life member of the Ku Klux Klan, and a white SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee) civil rights worker, first met violently, in Greenwood, Mississippi. They barely avoided ruining each other’s lives and 43 years later they meet again – on camera – to explore whether reconciliation is possible. Byron (“Delay”) de la Beckwith, Jr. and ex-civil rights worker and filmmaker, Paul Saltzman, met and filmed over a five-year period beginning in 2007. Delay’s father, Byron de la Beckwith, Sr., was a high-ranking official of the KKK and a founder of the White Citizens Council. In 1963, Delay’s father murdered Medgar Evers, then head of the NAACP in Mississippi. Saltzman’s ongoing conversations with Delay forms the narrative of this powerful film. The Last White Knight uses riveting animation to depict the near-death experiences of Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Travis, both civil rights workers, at the hands of the KKK. Director and subject Paul Saltzman returns to Napa Valley after showcasing Prom Night in Mississippi and a work in progress version of this film at our inaugural festival in 2011.

About the filmmaker

Paul Saltzman is a two-time Emmy Award-winning director-producer with over 300 productions to his credit. His first feature was the award-winning documentary, Prom Night in Mississippi. Paul has toured all over the United States and Canada doing screenings and conversations with adult and youth audiences about prejudice, tolerance, and social justice.

As the youngest member in parliament and sole heir to his family’s 7,000acre English estate, Lord Edward Montagu’s life was rich and privileged. All of this changed in 1954 when Montagu, then aged twenty-five, became England’s most infamous aristocrat when he was arrested for homosexual offenses and sentenced to a year in prison.

DOCUMENTARY FEATURES:

LORD MONTAGU

SHOWTIMES

Despite the odds against him, Montagu persevered to become a prominent national figure by turning his estate into one of England’s greatest tourist attractions and leading the way into a new era for the British aristocracy. Director Luke Korem’s entertaining film features never-before-seen footage from the Montagu family archives, interviews with family, friends and fellow aristocrats, and personal details from Lord Montagu’s own writings, to tell the story of his unconventional and often controversial life. A “second act” like no other in recent memory, Montagu’s startling fall from grace and his amazing return to prominence is a fascinating story that resonates on several levels.

About the filmmaker Luke Korem is an Austin, TX based filmmaker and Texas A&M graduate. Luke has worked as a director, producer, editor, and cinematographer on a variety of projects. In 2007, he created a documentary series for Rackspace, Inc., the world’s leader in web hosting, which chronicled the transformation of a 1.2 million square foot shopping mall into Rackspace’s new world headquarters.

9 Full Moons

This Is Where We Live

Frankie and Lev, two radically different personalities, take a stab at a relationship. The couple struggles with their personal demons as they try to hold on to one another against insurmountable odds.

Set in the Texas hill country, This Is Where We Live is a portrait of the Sutton family: Diane, while ignoring her own health issues, is caregiver to her son August, who has cerebral palsy, and her husband, who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. Overburdened, she hires Noah, a local handyman, to build a wheelchair ramp up the front steps to the family home. The friendship that Noah and August forge has a ripple effect; life makes unexpected turns for those around them, and forces Noah to confront his past.

Set against the country-tinged, singer-songwriter-hipster music scene of East LA and Hollywood, the result is a chaotic, brooding roller coaster of a love story as the couple attempts to survive. Standout performances from rising star Amy Seimetz (Upstream Color) and Bret Roberts make this brooding, smokey tale from Director Tomer Almagor a mesmerizing ride.

Post graduation, he moved to LA where he has been editing feature films while writing and directing his own material. After a series of short films, including Platinum REMI award-winning Spare, he wrote and directed his feature debut, 9 Full Moons.

Marc has worked on several TV series, including: Treme, Person of Interest, Flashforward and most recently recurring on Showtime’s Homeland.

Furever explores the dimensions of grief we experience over the loss of a pet. The film presents a fascinating look at the sociological evolution of pets, particularly their position in a family unit, and how this evolution is affecting those in the veterinary profession and death care industry.

Whether it’s from his iconic role as Batman in the 1966 television series or from his bizarre portrayal of the Mayor on Fox’s Family Guy, Adam West has made an indelible impression on generations of Americans. But few people know the man behind the mask.

Furever includes interviews with grieving pet owners, veterinarians, psychologists, sociologists, religious scholars, neuroscientists, and professionals who preserve a pet’s body for their devastated clientele. Some even re-purpose a pet’s cremains in unique ways (taxidermy, cloning, mummification, freeze-drying, and more). Both heartwrenching and at times jawdropping, Director Amy Finkel’s film is a tasteful look at modern grieving and loss.

Documentary filmmaker James Tooley spent three years following the legendary actor, meeting his legions of fans, and trying to understand what keeps the 85 year-old actor as passionate as ever. James Tooley’s Starring Adam West is a fan-funded documentary about the creative and turbulent life of Adam West, and the fan-supported quest to recognize the beloved actor with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Worm is a Southern Neo-Noir of sorts that plays out as a modern day “Whodunit.” Jason “Worm” Truitt has a young daughter he loves dearly, and a beautiful girlfriend he also loves, but who he fears may be out of his league. Worm is always caught doing the wrong thing at the wrong time, taking odd jobs from and for shady men, and even breaking the law from time to time.

Kip has everything he’s ever wanted. He has a thriving career, a beautiful wife, and an affluent lifestyle, all of which is put in jeopardy when Abby, the waitress with whom he’s having a casual fling, is accidentally killed. Desperate, he ends up on the doorstep of childhood friend Marvin and asks him for a big favor—help get rid of Abby’s body. Dark and comedic at the same time, director Paul Osborne’s Favor tests the boundaries of friendship in dramatic fashion. A strong cast and tight writing keep the audience on edge right until the conclusion plays out.

About the filmmaker

Director and star Andrew Bowser shot Worm entirely using the GoPro Hero 2 camera in one, uncut, 90-minute continuous take.

Paul Osborne directed the acclaimed documentary Official Rejection, which chronicled the experiences of independent filmmakers at film festivals. After making films during high school, Paul attended the University of Miami, majoring in both screenwriting and English. Two of the shorts he wrote and directed each won best picture awards at the university’s “Canes” film festival.

About the filmmaker Andrew Bowser grew up acting and auditioning in a suburb of Washington, DC. He started directing music videos for small bands and moved on to short films and comedy videos. He’s only ever wanted to be one thing - a film director.

Stock Burton has spent two years hiding out in his grandfather’s retirement residence. An old soul beloved by all the residents, Stock is hiding from the rest of the world – and his life – and is in no hurry to go back.

The dramatic story of snowboarder Kevin Pearce and his battle with a devastating brain injury is the subject of a compelling and fast-paced new documentary. The Crash Reel, directed by two-time Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker, combines twenty years of footage with new specially-shot verité clips and interviews.

Developments force Stock back “outside” where he must come to terms with the troubled past that led to his “early retirement.” Despite the promise of a blossoming relationship with a lovely but troubled young woman, things may still go horribly wrong for him. A wonderful, eclectic cast of characters and excellent writing lift Director James Genn’s film and make it quite memorable.

The film follows the U.S. champion snowboarder and exposes the irresistible but potentially fatal appeal of extreme sports. The escalating rivalry between Kevin and Shaun White leading to the 2010 Olympics leaves Shaun on top of the Olympic podium and Kevin in a coma. Kevin’s tight-knit Vermont family flies to his side and helps him rebuild his life as a brain injury survivor.

SEWING HOPE

Sewing Hope For 25 years, Joseph Kony and his infamous Lord’s Resistance Army terrorized Northern Uganda. Children were stolen from their families and brainwashed to be soldiers in his army. Young girls were additionally degraded by serving as sex slaves for Kony and his officers in the field. The gunfire has ceased, but one battle still remains — restoring dignity and a future to the children of Uganda. Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe leads a vocational school in Gulu, Uganda, where she uses practical skills to restore dignity, independence, and hope to formerly abducted women. She is an inspiration in the face of tyranny and desperation. Derek Watson’s provocative film mixes first person narration, edgy animation and compelling stories of hope.

DOSSIER ZINFANDEL / THE MONKS OF VINA SPECIAL SCREENINGS:

Dossier Zinfandel

The Monks of Vina

Dossier Zinfandel tracks the fascinating story of the 19th century arrival in America of a ‘mysterious grape’ of unknown origin. Featuring famous Zin-masters such as Paul Draper and Joel Peterson, along with famous Napa Valley winemaker Miljenko “Mike” Grgich who suspected first that his native Croatia was also the homeland of Zinfandel. Film historian Charles L. Sullivan and ‘wine detective’ Dr. Carole Meredith trace the roots of one of America’s most popular grape varietals.

John Beck’s beautiful documentary The Monks of Vina brings us into the world of the brotherhood of Trappist monks at the Abbey of New Clairvaux, in the scorching climate north of Chico, California. Their property, once part of the extensive Leland Stanford agriculture compound, includes 15 acres of vineyards that produce grapes for their small production-run wines. That crop, one of several on site, represents the sole support for their monastery and its activities. The film follows the grapes on their journey to fruition, as well as the experiences of two new potential monks as they try to adjust to life in the order.

After this premiere screening, please join the director, Milka Barišic, Vintner Hall of Fame inductee Mike Grgich, and many of the other winemakers who appeared in the movie at a private reception at Grgich Hills Estate (1829 St. Helena Hwy, Rutherford) for Zinfandel, hors d’oeuvres, and conversation.

Levitated Mass: The Story of

Michael Heizer’s Monolithic Sculpture

Levitated Mass is the story of a rock star, the artist behind the sensation, a $10 million, 22-city tour, and the international media storm that ensued -but not in the way you might expect. Prominently displayed outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, renowned and reclusive land artist Michael Heizer’s “Levitated Mass” gained worldwide recognition during its installation in 2012. Over ten nights, a 340-ton solid granite boulder crawled through Southern California neighborhoods on a 294-foot-long, 206-wheeled trailer, drawing hundreds of camera crews and cell phone shooters alike to document its journey. The film takes on Heizer’s passion for this piece and interweaves this influential artist’s biography with the back story of the art, the dreams of a major museum, and the uniting of a city, examining the perennial question: “What is art?”

MARCH OF THE LIVING / AMERICAN JERUSALEM SPECIAL SCREENINGS:

March of the Living March of the Living is an intimate look at the pairing of Jewish teenagers with Holocaust survivors, as they visit the remains of the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Birkenhau. As the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles, their stories of survival and perseverance, in the face of insurmountable odds, are even more important and compelling. Powerful, lasting bonds are formed as these tales are passed on to a new generation who must never forget the horror of one of mankind’s darkest chapters. Somber and compelling, the film reminds viewers of the ability of the human spirit to overcome and survive despite the worst of circumstances. Director Jessica Sanders delivers a story that is important, timely, and urgent.

American Jerusalem: Jews and the Making of San Francisco American Jerusalem tells the story of the pioneer Jews of San Francisco who came to California from Germany during the Gold Rush and were instrumental in building the city. The lowly roles they were relegated to in Germany—peddler and petty merchant—were highly valued in the Gold Rush. Because of the openness of Gold Rush California, these Jews were far more assimilated into and had a greater impact on the building and defining of a major city than any other Jewish community in America. But this acceptance came at a price, as their assimilation put this new community in danger of losing its Jewish identity. Director Marc Shaffer’s film chronicles this cultural identity crisis, along with a fascinating history of one of the West’s greatest cities. A must see for anyone who wants to know more about the city by the bay and its true origins and founders.

FINDING HILLYWOOD / HEY BARTENDER SPECIAL SCREENINGS:

Finding Hillywood

Hey Bartender

The love of movies is a nearly universal passion—even in the most remote of locations. Set amongst the hills of Rwanda, Finding Hillywood chronicles one man’s road to forgiveness, his effort to heal his country, and the realization that we all must one day face our past. We see super low budget films being shot and makeshift outdoor cinemas trucked around the country and set up for even those in the most impoverished villages to enjoy.

Napa may be a wine paradise but there’s still plenty of room at the bar for a few great cocktails. Hey Bartender is the story of the rebirth of the bartender and the comeback of the custom cocktail. Tracing the history of the mixed drink over the ages, the film takes us inside the modern world of the mixologist with its locally sourced ingredients, hand-cut ice cubes, and exotic names.

A unique and endearing story about the very beginnings of a Rwandan film industry and the pioneers who bring local films to rural communities, Finding Hillywood by co-directors Christopher Towey and Leah Warshawski is a real life example of the power of film to heal a man and a nation.

Every September, they are rounded up by local farmers and directed across the rugged terrain to reunite with their owners. Beautifully shot and full of compelling stories, co-directors Lindsay Blatt and Paul Taggart’s Herd in Iceland is magical. About the filmmaker

Through Their Eyes (a preview of a work-in-progress film) Through Their Eyes tells the story of the invisible wounds our veterans bear and how horses--who have faithfully served us for thousands of years--are helping them to heal. The unseen wounds of war are just as debilitating and devastating as the visible ones. And now, equine therapy is being increasingly used with veterans to help them heal from the psychological effects of warfare. By their sheer presence, horses are able to bring people into the present where all true healing takes place. The film tells the story of how horses have the ability to restore a person to balance.

Healing a Soldier’s Heart

The Hornet’s Nest

Healing a Soldier’s Heart follows the courageous journey of four Vietnam veterans – all suffering from severe PTSD – as they venture back to Vietnam to face the emotional demons that have been haunting them for almost forty years. With hopes of healing and transforming their lives, the four vets return to the actual trauma sites—the places where they fought and killed their former enemies, or saw their own friends and comrades die.

Career Journalist Mike Boettcher takes his son Carlos to the active war zone in Afghanistan, covering U.S. Combat Troops on the front lines. What starts out as an effort to reconnect with his son, becomes a remarkable true story and fight for survival as they venture into one of the most dangerous places on Earth, respectfully referred to as The Hornet’s Nest.

A profound and powerful story of healing, loss and rediscovery, Stephen Olsson’s film illustrates the power of forgiveness for veterans from all wars, including the more current armed conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Healing a Soldier’s Heart is a compelling story of hope.

“On behalf of the Napa County Board of Supervisors, I welcome you to the 3rd Annual Napa Valley Film Festival. The festival offers a deep and rich variety of films that I know you will enjoy. There are films that will be major releases and those that may not be as popular, but make very important statements. One such film the Napa festival featured was “First Generation,” produced and directed by Adam Fenderson, a Sunday School student of mine some years back. The film, shot over the course of three years, followed four highachieving, low-income high school students, as they became the first in their families to attend college. It was inspirational, uplifting, and I was so proud of Adam’s achievement. So, whatever your fancy blockbuster, documentary or drama, the festival’s got you covered. Kick back, relax, enjoy the great wine, food, and scenery of our great valley, and enjoy the show!” - Brad Wagenknecht, Chair of the Napa County Board of Supervisors
