On a trip back to Canada, Tom Marlow wakes to find his beloved wife missing. Their vacation home – now a crime scene – is littered with clues to his wife’s whereabouts. In order to ensure her safe return, Tom, now a stranger in the land of his birth is forced to cooperate with the practices of local authorities, the political rhetoric of the American Embassy and the unorthodox methods of a Private Investigator he hired to help him.

Amidst the chaos of the investigation, the silence is broken when the phone rings and an evil voice on the other end asks: “You wanna play a game? Here’s your first riddle.” Tom and the P.I. are now part of a treasure hunt set in motion by his wife’s captors. The game is simple and the prize is his wife’s freedom. Each correctly answered riddle brings them one-step closer; but one wrong answer…one missed deadline…and the consequences could be fatal. Shot in Fredericton, Moncton, Kings Landing and other historical places.

Amreeka
Director/Writer: Cherien Dabis
Producer: Christina Piovesan, Paul Barkin
Cast: Nisreen Faour, Melkar Muallem, Hiam Abbass, Alia Shawkat, Yussef Abu Warda
Length: 96:00
Website: http://www.amreeka.com/
Screening Format: 35mm
USA/Canada, 2009

An ever-optimistic Palestinian single mom (Nisreen Faour as "Muna") and her teenage son (Melkar Muallem as "Fadi") leave their homeland for the heartland intent on starting a new life, despite the fallout from America's war on Iraq. A lighthearted drama full of humor, Amreeka is an intimate portrait of one Palestinian family's sense of displacement, nostalgia for a home that exists but in their collective memory and struggle for a sense of belonging in a country that gives all newcomers a run for their money.

Winner of the Fipresci Prize at 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

IN THE LOOP is a fast-paced, lancet-witted ensemble comedy from first-time film director Armando Iannucci, based on his satirical BBC sitcom, THE THICK OF IT. The film tracks the lies, misunderstandings, good and bad intel, and PR blunders that escalate into a full-blown (fictional) crisis in the Middle East over the course of a few days, in a few conversations and meetings, in a few corridors of British and American power. Though played for laughs, the movie demonstrates how the most incidental factors (leaked papers, hastily spoken soundbites) and players (aides, interns, and low-level government officials) can influence the course
