Film
Moving Midway (Godfrey Cheshire, 2007) 98 min. Film critic Godfrey Chesire’s documentary about his family’s North Carolina plantation is the Gone with the Wind of This Old House episodes.

Falling from Earth (Chadi Zeneddine, 2007) 65 min. As a man searches through a dilapidated building, his findings serve as motivations for a medley of unfinished narratives, photographs, flashbacks, and scribbling on walls. Reminiscent of Istvan Szabo’s 25 Fireman’s Street, Falling From Earth is a collective-conscious narrative for a country traumatized by years of war and turmoil. Preceded by Cinema Mundial (1957-2007) (Carles Asensio Monrabá, 2007) 21 min. Slightly meandering documentary about the mechanics of a movie projection booth ends with really nice tracking shot of the same theater, now recently destroyed.

Foster Child (Billante Mendoza, 2007) 98 min. Preceded by The Wind’s Stories (Javier Beltran Ramos, 2007) 12 min. Apr 2 at 6:15pm (W); Apr 3 at 8:45pm (M)

Correction (Thanos Anastopoulos, 2007) 83 min. Inner city Athens becomes a labyrinth of urban anxiety and unspoken racial tension as a man is released from prison and begins stalking a young girl and her mother.
