SLEEPING DOGS is a Staff Pick of the Week

Since being accepted to the Festival, the staff has loved saying SCHLAFENDE HUNDE. The filmmakers in Hamburg, Germany have been tweeting and face-booking their excitement of being part of the Arizona International Film Festival. Beautifully shot in black and white, this psychological thriller explores the complicated relationship of a father and son against a tension-filled background of death, loss, and a criminal past. Come see SCHLAFENDE HUNDE on Tuesday, April 5, 2011 8:00pm at The Screening Room.

Filmmakers Search For Answers

In a heartfelt ode to his agrarian roots, filmmaker Tim Plester journeys from the English village green to the killing fields of The Somme, in search of a connection with the much-maligned native dance traditions that run deep in his blood. Way Of The Morris, a delightful documentary, plays on Thursday, April 7, 6:00pm at The Screening Room. Included in the program is Leap Before You Look, a filmmaker’s quest to find out how people decide to have kids.
