Iska's Journey extended description (play trailer) Synopsis: " 'Iska's Journey' is the standout (film), unfolding with the utmost confidence and simplicity -- to devastating effect. Maria Varga stars as an irresistible, resilient ragamuffin scavenging for scrap metal in an impoverished Romanian mining town, exactly as she was when Bollok discovered her. He elicits from Varga a breathtaking portrayal, natural and spontaneous; Iska's flight from a brutal, alcoholic family is increasingly harrowing, a shattering comment on the terrible vulnerability of children making their way on their own in the world." ISKA’S JOURNEY is the official Hungarian entry for the 2009 Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. |

SF extended description play trailer1 play trailer2 Synopsis: The story centers on two gangs in the Richmond District of San Francisco. After an Asian gang leader is killed, Troy, a member of the White Knights, begins to have doubts about being part of the gang. His doubts intensify when he meets Julie, the sister of the Asian gang leader. Loosely based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, SF movingly explores the family conflicts, racial hatreds and gang loyalties that torment the lovers as they flee from the police and struggle to honorably resolve their plight. Winner: Grand Festival Award, Berkeley Video & Film Festival "Visually striking, beautifully shot and quite a few strong performances. SF resonates nicely with the classic Shakespeare narrative. At the same time, it's original and satisfyingly unpredictable." Cast: Written & Directed by Phil Gorn (Ultimate Reality / Coming of Age) Action/Drama | DV | 74 minutes | 2001 | USA |
