(Sinbad). He's looking for a showdown with Cyrus Bloomington (Coburn), the banker and railroad baron who killed
his parents for their land when Isaiah was just a small boy. Now fully grown, Isaiah sets out to find Bloomington, but
since he has no sense of direction and no clue how to survive in the wilderness, he doesn't get very far. Then one day,
hiding in a covered wagon for shelter, Isaiah meets Otter Bob (Reynolds). Bob teaches him how to hunt and fish in
exchange for reading lessons. Under the tutelage of Otter Bob, and with the help of several other wacky mentors that

slinging skills also vastly improve after being tutored in the ways of love by the aggressive Stagecoach Mary. In the

COLOR OF JUSTICE (1997)
Color Of Justice is a powerful drama exploring the role race plays in the modern criminal justice system. The story
begins when four black teenagers steal a car that soon runs out of gas. When a white woman pulls up behind them,
they drag her out of her car, pistol-whip her and then steal her car. Soon they are caught by the police and are told that
the woman is dead. When the story comes out in the press, the public is outraged and wants the arrogant punks tried as
adults. Meanwhile, every politician around wants to take advantage of the case for his or her own agendas. The New
York DA jumps on the case because he wants to boost his image as a tough law-and-order man. Rev. Ed Walton wants
to back the boys publicly so that he can secure his place as a national spokesman for African Americans. Even the
president sends in the Justice Department so that he can appear to be "tough on crime." With everyone out to punish
the boys as harshly as possible, it seems that the victim's angry, distraught husband will get his revenge. But when the
boy's lawyer starts turning up some interesting information about the incident, it seems that the case might not be so
black and white.

CRIME OF THE CENTURY (1996)
In Crime of the Century, Oscar-nominated director Mark Rydell takes us on the tragic journey of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, the German immigrant who, despite his pleas of innocence and evidence of a frame-up, was convicted of
the crimes perpetrated against Charles Lindbergh's child. The Lindbergh case had gone unsolved for two years when
Hauptmann came under suspicion. Amidst the ongoing media frenzy surrounding the story he made the ideal prime
suspect. He had $14,000 in marked bills stashed in his basement and a petty criminal record. In addition, anti-German
sentiment was assured by his condemnation in the press and a circus-like trial, Hauptmann steadfastly refused to
confess in return for a lighter sentence. Instead, the Crime of the Century would end not with justice, but with an
equally tragic criminal act.

Based on a true story, Lansky is an insightful look into the life of a young Jewish immigrant who grew up to become
the greatest gangster the world never knew. From his early partnerships with Bugsy Siegel and Lucky Luciano to his
domination in the fields of bootlegging and gambling, it seemed Lansky could do no wrong in the world of
wrongdoing. Possessing an extraordinary mind and incredible shrewdness, Lansky always kept himself one step ahead
of his competitors, enemies and prosecutors. Despite extensive Senate hearings and FBI investigations, the U.S.
government never successfully prosecuted him. Eventually the constant FBI hounding drove Lansky to seek asylum in
various countries. Rejected by them all including Israel, Lansky was left without a country to call home.

LOST HIGHWAY (1997)
In Lost Highway, acclaimed filmmaker David Lynch takes the viewer on a wild ride through the depths of the
imagination to explore the mysterious nature of identity. In a city spookily similar to modern Los Angeles, two men
share different, yet strangely intersecting lives. Fred Madison (Pullman) is a successful jazz musician who suspects
that his beautiful wife Renee (Arquette) may be leading a double life. His suspicion become stronger and stronger as
stranger and stranger events begin happening in his life. Just when it seems that things can't get any more disturbing,
Renee is found murdered in the couple's bed. Since Fred has been experiencing mental lapses, he can't be sure that he
isn't responsible. The police believe that he is, and Fred winds up locked in a maximum-security prison. Just when it
seems as if his fate has been cruelly and permanently decided, the film takes a bizarre twist. One day when the prison
guards are making their rounds, they discover that Fred has disappeared and been replaced with another man, Pete
Dayton (Getty). The police have no idea how he got there, but since they are unable to link him with Fred or the
murder, they are ultimately forced to release him. The film now starts following Pete, an auto mechanic with a steady
girlfriend and a wealthy client. At first Pete's life seems fairly normal, but when he begins having an affair with a
woman who looks suspiciously like Renee (also Arquette) we realize that his life is even more deeply and sinisterly
entangled with Fred's than we had previously imagined.

PATH TO PARADISE: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING (1997)
Based on previously unreleased transcripts of tape recordings, Path to Paradise: the Untold Story of the World Trade
Center Bombing, is the compelling, behind-the-scenes tale of how extremist followers of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman
narrowly eluded investigators and exploded a bomb in the World Trade Center. Focusing step-by-step on the actions
of the terrorists and the investigation by the FBI and NYPD, the husband and wife directing team of Leslie Libman
and Larry Williams explores previously untold aspects of this startling story. Their stylized brand of filmmaking (the
two are famous for music videos and edgy commercials) makes for exciting watching as it casts a revealing spotlight
on the extraordinary blunders of the terrorists and missteps by law enforcement. The film also daringly explores some
of the very dark comic aspects of the tragedy. When one federal prosecutor asks FBI Special Agent John Anticev
(Gallagher), "You mean to say that Jersey police had the master bomber, his accomplice and the chemicals under their
noses before the bombing?" Anticev replies "It'd be funny if it wasn't true."

with Susan Lucci's final episode of "All My Children.") Meanwhile, the giant media conglomerate NewsNet has a

considered the greatest political upset in history. But ever since the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945 had

WALKING AND TALKING (1996)
A legend in Europe, an outcast in America, The Josephine Baker Story explores the life of Baker (Whitfield) whose
early mischievousness is just a hint of the woman who later dons fur and feathers. She finds work as a dancer and

star at the Follies Bergere and meets and marries Pepito Abatino (Blades) her manager. As an international celebrity,

and shock that she still cannot get served at the famous Stork Club. Back in Paris, she participates in the Resistance
during WWII and performing for the troops, her magic on stage bridges the color boundaries. Upon her death she is
awarded national heroine status in France with a funeral accompanied by a 21-gun salute.

The Wall is a trilogy of beautiful short films, each beginning with a memento being placed at the Vietnam War
Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. In The Pencil Holder, a father and son place this wooden object on the Wall as a
memorial to the man who brought them together. In The Badge, a silver badge is placed against the wall. This recalls
the story of Bracy Mitchell who firmly believes that it is his patriotic duty to go to war to defend his country. Before
he goes, his grandmother presents him with a silver badge, which previous generations of Mitchell men have worn to
war as a talisman for a safe return. In The Player, a guitar is placed against the Wall, recalling the story of a talented
and idealistic young musician who refused to buy his way off the front lines.

WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION (1997)
Lionel Powers is a self-styled media mogul. He inherited a publishing empire from his father, a clever businessman
who originally made his money cleaning septic tanks. Lionel nourished the family business, and built it into one of the
most powerful information suppliers in the world. Having bought practically all of the newspapers, network TV
stations and cable channels in America, Lionel has now turned his attentions toward sports. He has his heart set on
purchasing The Titans, a football team, but he already owns a team in the same league and must wait for the Senate to
determine whether the purchase would be a conflict of interest. Lionel also has another obstacle. It seems that the
European immigrant and media baron Julian Messenger, Lionel's archrival, is also interested in the Titans. With seven
U.S. Senators and the team's owner jumping in and out of their back pockets, Powers and Messenger wage a war of
wits and wickedness in an attempt to wind the team. Caught up in their own machinery of tabloid exploitation, their
private lives become public and they become victims of the very empires they created. Meanwhile, the Middle
American consumers of these tabloids get a dose of their own medicine when the headlines really come off the page
and into their homes, wreaking irreversible havoc.

WHEN TRUMPETS FADE (1998)
Inspired by the dramatic events of one of World War II's most senseless battles, HBO and acclaimed director John
Irvin bring to the screen the gripping and powerful film When Trumpets Fade. Private David Manning (Eldard) plays
an American G.I. who is physically and emotionally worn out. Carrying a severely wounded soldier on his back after a

further so Manning decides to leave him behind. When he finally returns to his command post, Manning discovers that
the rest of his platoon has been killed. Desperate to get out of the war he requests a discharge due to mental
disturbance. Instead, Manning's painfully gained experience earns him a promotion and leadership of his own platoon.
He is ordered to lead a group of raw, inexperienced recruits back into the Hurtgen Forest where superior German
troops await them. What follows is an engrossing and moving tale that exposes the outrage of modern war.

tell the sensational story of a man who became the most feared and powerful American journalist of his day - and
possibly this century. From print to audio, from 1925 through the 1960's, Winchell created an intriguing, controversial
kind of news that changed the rules of journalism forever: the gossip column. A self-proclaimed champion of the
people, Winchell believed that revealing the secrets of the rich and famous was the ultimate power and liberty in a
democracy. He delivered his news in a unique and dizzying rat-tat-tat style full of vivid prose, witty innuendo and
populist opinions - something America had never before heard. With two-thirds of the nation's adult population tuning
in or reading his column, Winchell's influence grew to unparalleled proportions. Still remarkably relevant in the
"Celebrity Age" that we continue to live, Winchell is a fascinating look at modern American history through the rise
and abrupt decline of this man.

AMANDLA! REVOLUTION IN FOUR PART HARMONY (2002)
The power of song to communicate, motivate, console, unite and, ultimately, beget change: that ideal, gloriously
realized, lies at the heart of director Lee Hirsch’s inspiring feature film documentary Amandla! A Revolution in FourPart Harmony. Winner of the Audience Award and Freedom of Expression Award at the 2002 Sundance Film
Festival, Amandla! tells the story of black South African freedom music and reveals the central role it played in the
long battle against apartheid. The first film to specifically consider the music that sustained and galvanized black
South Africans for more than 40 years, Amandla!’s focus is on the struggle’s spiritual dimension, as articulated and
embodied in song. It is unlike any other film yet made on the subject of apartheid, and an electrically expressive
portrait of South African life then and now.

Schoolteacher Ruby is the most emotionally co-dependent person in New York City. A prime example of a

Sam, the magnet looks like it's attracted the most needy loser of the bunch. Of course, Sam is incredibly weird, too.
When Sam tells Ruby he's from Dubuque, Iowa, he hastens to add it's not "her" Dubuque but the one on the Atlantic
Coast! Before Ruby can pick her jaw up from the floor, Sam spins a whale of a tale -- he's actually a time-traveler
from a future America, post-second and third ice age and circa 2470. This is a world where bar codes are stamped on
arms like tattoos, Polka music is considered better than Mozart and Chihuahuas are the most feared beasts on the
planet. It's also a world where just about everybody is a clone and the good old-fashioned way of procreating is
practically outlawed. That's why Sam has come back in time, to meet Ruby and fall in love like people did in the
history books. At first, Ruby wants to commit Sam to Bellevue. But then she begins to wonder...is this spaced-out nut

Most Eligible Bachelor” is the prince of benefits. Their plan? Use his knockout connections to create an online holiday
charity.
Nick’s all for it. He can retire the family sleigh and soak under the sizzling December sun. No elves. No suit. No

21st century advantage. With his own powers beginning to wane, he has to persuade his son to find a queen, head for
home, and take up the torch. Unfortunately, a charge of fraud has turned Nick’s charity into a nationwide scandal, the
falling snow on Mistletoe Manor is turning to slush, and the lights of the Aurora Borealis are on the blink. What’s it
going to take to prevent Christmas from becoming a dim memory? Nothing short of a miracle.

AMERICAN SPLENDOR (2003)
Winner of the Sundance Grand Jury Prize and awarded the International Film Critics Association Award at the 2003
Cannes Film Festival, AMERICAN SPLENDOR immerses the viewer in the life and worldview of underground
comic book writer Harvey Pekar: file clerk, working-class intellectual, obsessive-compulsive collector, and creator of
the seminal autobiographical comic book series "American Splendor." For over two decades, the pages of "American
Splendor" have documented the mundane tribulations, random experiences and cultural enthusiasms that make up
Pekar's day-to-day existence in his native Cleveland, Ohio.
AMERICAN SPLENDOR is the true saga of a working-class everyman who found love, family and a creative voice
through comic books. Like its namesake comic, AMERICAN SPLENDOR focuses on the large and small moments in
the life of its prickly hero, and offers not one, but several illustrations of Harvey Pekar: the Harvey of the main
narrative, portrayed by Paul Giamatti; a 2D animated Harvey; and the real Harvey, past (via archival footage) and
present. The result is an inventive film that captures Pekar's voice in all its simple, honest, and cantankerous human
scope.

AND STARRING PANCHO VILLA AS HIMSELF (2003)
In 1913, Mexican revolutionary General Francisco “Pancho” Villa, in an effort to finance his rebel forces, offered U.S.
filmmakers unprecedented access to shoot his army in actual combat – at a price set by Villa and payable in Gold.
From the moviemaking capital of Fort Lee, New Jersey, Mutual Films partners D.W. Griffith and Harry Aitken are
intrigued by the offer but are busy with other projects, including Griffith’s Birth of a Nation. They decide to send
Aitken’s young nephew, production assistant Frank Thayer, to Mexico to sign the exclusive deal. Thayer and his crew
soon find themselves in the thick of battle at Villa’s legendary victory at Torreon, risking life and limb as they roll
their cameras to make film history with the first full-length action blockbuster. Released in 1914, The Life of General
Villa was a box office hit and helped turn the tide in American support of the Mexican Revolution.

CAMP (2003)
Move over "American Idol," the most talented kids in the country is at Camp Ovation. Based on an actual summer
camp for young actors, singers and dancers, Camp is the dramatic, hilarious and show-stopping story of a group of
extraordinary kids growing up and discovering who they really are.
Back at home, Michael and Ellen, two kids of Camp Ovation are the outcasts and misfits who everyone picks on. But
once these kids are on the bus, singing Sondheim songs, they have arrived in Oz - at least for the next two months. As
the hard work begins on putting together a new show every two weeks, the drama isn't only on stage. Relationships are
formed, talent is tested, and hearts are broken.
As the kids work frantically under the pressure of putting together ambitious productions, their fragile egos are
entrusted to guest director Bert Hanley, who had a Broadway smash ten years ago, but now has fallen on hard times
and become a cynical alcoholic. Through the kids' passion and commitment, his talent and spirit is revived. In the best
tradition of Fame, the kids of Camp Ovation have an irrepressible spirit that is uplifting and contagious to anyone
within earshot.
**In addition, TSI is proud to present “The Making Of Camp”. An adventurous behind-the-scenes look of the
filmmaking and rehearsal process from the beginning (auditions) to the end (the premiere screening at Sundance).

Based on an amazing True Story.
While other kids grow up focusing on things such as video games and hanging out at the mall, Liz Murray spent her
early years worrying about whether her parents were going out to score drugs late at night and when she'd eat her next
meal.
Golden Globe nominee Thora Birch stars as Murray, who at age 15, lived on the streets alone after her mother passed
away — eating from dumpsters, sleeping on subway cars and depending on her street smarts for survival. Somehow,
the naturally bright but uneducated teen found the strength and courage to see beyond the bleakness. "I always knew
there was something inside me worth exploring," says Murray.
The troubled teen invested a lot of energy in pursuing her education; she miraculously graduated from high school in
two years and eventually won a New York Times scholarship to Harvard University while still homeless!

STEP INTO LIQUID (2003)
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to ride at Pipeline, flirting on the edge of some of the ocean’s most
powerful and dangerous waves, then you’re ready to Step Into Liquid. In this new documentary, director Dana Brown
finds that “the stoke” – the passion and elation that keeps surfers paddling back for more – can be found in some pretty
unlikely places. Son of Bruce Brown, whose The Endless Summer and its sequel are the best known and most widely
seen surfing films ever, Dana’s perspective on surfing is a wholly unique one, and he has seen it go from flaky fad to
international phenomenon. Moving far beyond the beaches of sunny Southern California, surfing now criss-crosses the
globe, from Texas to Wisconsin, Ireland to Vietnam. Traveling to some of the hottest surfing spots in the world, Dana
finds the real search isn’t for the biggest tube or most radical ride, but instead uncovers and examines what it is about
surfing that hooks people’s souls, becoming integral to their lives in ways that far exceed a simple pastime.
The film also pays notice to the rise of women in the sport, checks in on the subjects from The Endless Summer films,
and follows one group of fearless surfers who head 100 miles from shore to ride some 60-foot-plus, once-every-ten-

TOUCHING THE VOID (2003)
Joe Simpson and Simon Yates set out to climb the west face of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. It was 1985
and the men were young, fit, skilled climbers. The west face, remote and treacherous, had not been climbed before.
Following a successful 3-day ascent, disaster struck. Simpson fell a short distance and broke several bones in his leg.
With no hope of rescue, the men decided to attempt descent together with Yates lowering Simpson 300 feet at a time
in a slow, painful process that could have potentially been deadly for both. One further misstep led to Yates
unknowingly lowering his injured partner over the lip of a crevasse. With the gradient having gone from steep to
vertical, he was no longer able to hold on. Certain they were about to be pulled jointly to their deaths -- the only
choice was to cut the rope. Based on the international bestseller, "Touching the Void," which combines dramatic and
documentary techniques, is directed by Kevin Macdonald, the Academy Award-winning director of "One Day in
September."

parents into their children comes to life. Crastaing is an old fashioned, dictatorial French teacher. One day

He vows punishment for these two, and also a third boy, Mourdine, who had been trying to protect Igor. As a
lesson for their insolent attitudes, the three are made to write an unusual essay at home: "You wake up one
morning and realize that you have turned into an adult. Completely horrified, you run into your parent's
bedroom...and they have been turned into children! Tell what happens next." The boys go back to their
respective families, but before they can even finish their assignment, it actually happens! When they wake up
in the morning, they are adults and their parents are children. Even as they are still trying to figure out what is
going on, hilarious situations begin to arise.
