A SCANNER DARKLY

Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder and Woody Harrelson at the 2006 Los Angeles Film Festival - Premiere of 'A Scanner Darkly'. Los Angeles, California- 29.06.06

Cast: Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr, Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson, Melody Chase

Synopsis: America's endless and futile war on drugs has become one and the same with its war on terror. Reluctant undercover cop Bob Arctor (Keanu Reeves) follows orders to start spying his friends, Jim Barris (Robert Downey Jr.), Ernie Luckman (Woody Harrelson), Donna Hawthorne (Winona Ryder) and Charles Freck (Rory Cochrane). When he is directed to step up the surveillance on himself, he is launched on a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode. Based on Legendary science-fiction author Philip K. Dick's own experiences, 'A Scanner Darkly' tells the darkly comedic, but deeply tragic tale of drug use in the modern world. The film plays like a graphic novel come to life with live-action photography overlaid with an advanced animation process - a method known as interpolated rotoscoping, first employed in writer/director Richard Liklater's 2001 film 'Waking Life' - to create a haunting version of America, seven years from now.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME

Cast: Matt Dillon, Carlos Alberto, Franz Beckenbauer, Giorgio Chinaglia, Johan Cruyff

Synopsis: It was 1977 and one of New York’s most tumultuous and decadent summers. Then, in the midst of blackouts, riots, the Son of Sam serial killer scare and the dawn of Studio 54, came an entirely unexpected moment of inspiration: the rise of the New York Cosmos, America’s first great soccer team, and its larger-than-life superstar, Pelé. Suddenly embraced by a city obsessed with celebrity and flamboyance, the Cosmos kicked off America’s first passionate love affair with the world’s most popular sport. But swept up in a careening path of glory, glamour, debauchery and controversy, the Cosmos themselves imploded. It is a thrilling tale of how a powerful group of entertainment moguls, a scrappy team of rag-tag athletes and a city in need of a rousing boost pulled together to create a phenomenon that in turn forged the soccer moms of today. Narrated by Academy® Award-nominee Matt Dillon, ONCE IN A LIFETIME: THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE NEW YORK COSMOS reveals how the Cosmos rose from total anonymity to become the hottest ticket in town -- taken under the wing of Warner Bros. Chairman Steve Ross, beloved by rock stars and fashionistas -- only to be overwhelmed by a wild world of wealth, groupies, rivalries and power struggles. Using a combination of nostalgic 70s soul and pop music, never-before-seen footage, exciting sports action, newsreels from the summer of ’77 and candid interviews that range from Marv Albert to Henry Kissinger to Mia Hamm, to the colorful, clashing former Cosmos players themselves, the film creates a humorous, entertaining and richly layered look at a time and place that changed American sports forever.
