Self-Portrait with Cows Going Home & Other Works
Director Rebecca Dreyfus, USA, Documentary, 2008, 10.5 minutes
The Film... A rare and soulful portrait of the ironically camera-shy Sylvia Plachy, a renowned contemporary photographer.
Richard Avedon wrote of fellow photographer Sylvia Plachy "She makes me laugh and she breaks my heart." Ms. Plachy is perhaps best known for her weekly pictures in The Village Voice but her images have been widely exhibited both in the US and abroad and have appeared in numerous publications such as Aperture, Art Forum and The New York Times Magazine. Her impressive body of work spanning more than four decades is a testament to a unique artistic force in the contemporary world. Her most recent book "Goings on about Town" is compilation of photographs taken for THE NEW YORKER.
Legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles makes an on-camera appearance as Ms. Plachy's subject as well as shooting segments of the film. Ms. Plachy's son, the academy award winning actor, Adrien Brody (also a composer) has contributed a delightful original score.
The Director... Rebecca Dreyfus is an award-winning filmmaker, with a reputation for conveying potent truths with a delicate touch. Renowned New Republic film critic Stanley Kauffmann calls Rebecca's work "A testament to what film can do in the hands of a good documentarian: convert fact into truth." Most notably, Rebecca's feature documentary Stolen – which tells the story of the biggest unsolved art heist in US history – became an art house sensation and premiered on the PBS Series Independent Lens. For her work, Rebecca has received numerous grants and fellowships from such institutions as The New York State Council on the Arts, The Sundance Film Institute and Women in Film.

When I Grow Up
Director Sharon Arteaga, Mexico/USA, Drama, 2012, 9 minutes
The Film... A mother and daughter sell tacos and dream of a better life.
Letty dreams of not one, but several taco trucks, so she can stop working at the restaurant and better provide for herself and daughter. But Michaela hates helping mom sell tacos out of their van every morning before school. Driving past a wasteland of refineries in Corpus Christi, Texas, they both find hurt and hope during one of their morning routines. The film is about two generations, with two different dreams, and the point where they must intersect.
The Director... When Sharon Arteaga turned fifteen, she convinced her parents that a video camera was a better investment than the Quinceanera they wanted her to have. She went on to receive her BA in film from the University of Texas at Austin in 2009.
Her producing debut, Duplex, won the Shorts Competition at the Binational Film Festival in El Paso, Texas, and her Undergraduate Thesis, "Hands" was a finalist in New York's Faith Film Festival and an Official Selection for the Imago Film Festival and the Phoenix Int'l Christian film festival. Sharon is in pre-production for her next short, "Plane Pretend," a story about a little girl's first flight into a new country.

Flawed
Director Andrea Dorfman, Canada, Comedy, 2012, 12.5 minutes
The Film... Flawed is an impressive animated work from Canadian artist Andrea Dorfman; a work that is sweet but serious, heart-warming yet heart-breaking, in which she examines the conflicted feelings that arise when she strikes up a long-distance romance with a plastic surgeon. Through an intensely confessional narrative, she discovers that secret to getting the boy to accept her is to learn to accept herself, flaws and all.
An homage to the time-honoured tradition of storyboarding, the plot unfolds like a storybook, one watercolour painting at a time. The style is unique – the animation is not an animation per se, it is in fact a stop-motion of Dorfman creating static compositions in ink and water-color that visualize the narrative she relates through voice-over. It is neat, and moreover a perfect match for its subject matter. The childish watercolors evoke the childhood from whence Dorfman's concerns about appearance first materialize, as well provide a neat parallel to the postcards through which she and the plastic surgeon first courted each other.
The film's personal and subjective elements succeed both thematically and aesthetically, allowing her to tackle an important topic, female body image, in the most satisfying way possible – not through a self-righteous screed, but by relating to it personally and sharing that journey of self-discovery with us. That is what makes Flawed ultimately important.
The Director... Andrea Dorfman is an artist and filmmaker based in Halifax, Nova Scotia who has made a number of experimental and dramatic short films as well as two feature fims - Parsley Days (2000) and Love That Boy (2003) and the documentaries, Nine (1998) and Sluts (2005). Dorfman most recently completed the animations, Flawed (2010) and Bigmouth (2012) at the National Film Board of Canada. She is currently working with the non-profit The Equality Effect (working to create equality for women and girls in Kenya, Malawi and Ghana), creating promotional videos for them as well as developing her third feature film, Heartbeat. Dorfman is also a part time instructor (and graduate) of film and video at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and one of four co-creators of Blowhard, a thematic storytelling series. Andrea's film How to be Alone was featured in the last LUNAFEST program.

Blank Canvas
Director Sarah Berkovich, USA, Documentary, 2011, 3.5 minutes
The Film... Blank Canvas is a beautiful documentary made about a woman who chose to have her bald head adorned with henna tattoos in order to deal with hair loss, a common side effect of chemotherapy. When Kim received a devastating diagnosis for uterine cancer, her world turned upside down. Through her treatment, she has struggled to cope with her changing body image in positive ways. Taking an unconventional route, Kim decides to turn her baldness into a blank canvas for self-expression, and in doing so creates a powerful statement that allows her to share her experience with others.
The inspiring message in the film is that women can find their inner strength at times when it is least expected, to take control of their circumstances and help themselves.
The Director... Sarah Berkovich received her undergraduate degree in Documentary Film Production at Emerson College in 2010. While in Boston, she worked at MIT as a videographer for the Nextlab Initiative, and as a production assistant on a PBS American Experience episode. Sarah spent a summer in Los Angeles interning at the International Documentary Association, where she helped coordinate Docuweeks, an Oscar-qualifying theatrical showcase. She currently is working on her MFA in Documentary Film and Video at Stanford University. Sarah is passionate about documenting oral history, and one day hopes to teach documentary filmmaking in addition to being a producer.

She has met the man of her dreams.

But Marie's parents are anything but that. Lydia and Erhard, both in their early fifties, have been together for more than 25 years. Their marriage seems fizzled out, they sleep in separate rooms and daily routine has long ago overtaken spontaneity and romance. In a panic, Marie goes to see her parents to prepare them for their visitor...
