A film by DMITRY POVOLOTSKY
A bright and uplifting semi-autobiographical first feature from Brooklyn-based director, Dmitry Povolotsky, telling the tale of a ballet-obsessed teen who pretends his father is the famous dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov. Set in Moscow 1986, the film captures the spirit of the economic and political restructuring at the time showing a modern view of not-so-distant era when everyone lived in the same apartments with the same furniture, wearing the same clothes. Using sharp dialogue, well-observed situational comedy and a killer soundtrack of Boney M, Povolotsky invites us to take part in a young boy’s dream – the dream to be different!

In Japan, WWII Kamikaze are still revered as self-sacrificing heroes. Internationally, they remain a potent symbol of fanaticism. Until now, few outsiders knew that many Kamikaze survived their suicide missions. The candid, heartbreaking testimony of surviving Kamikaze conveys the true depth of war’s travesty. More than 60 years later, these humble men tell us about the horrors of the cockpit, their dramatic survival, and the survivor’s guilt still haunting them.

Holy blockbusters! A big hit at the Korean box office, Sword is the epitome of posh, luscious, decadent period filmmaking. Based on the real life Empress Myeongseong, it tells her story through the eyes of a bounty hunter who becomes her bodyguard (Cho Seung-Woo, now doing his mandatory military service). She tries to stand up to Russian and Japanese intervention in 19th Century Korea and the results are a series of luxurious, CGI-enhanced action scenes alternating with carefully calibrated and eye-meltingly colorful scenes of court life, making this movie feel like an unholy mix of Merchant-Ivory and The Matrix.
