A beautiful and evocative film about the remarkable transformation of a group of illiterate women in southern Nepal. Working with Heifer International, a aid organization that promotes sustainable development through gifts of livestock, the women are now helping hundreds of other women and their families rise out of poverty.

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl Doesn’t. When Tom, a hapless greeting card copywriter and hopeless romantic, is blindsided after his girlfriend Summer dumps him, he shifts back and forth through various periods of their 500 days together to try to figure out where things went wrong. Starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, 500 Days of Summer (which premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival) is a postmodern love story – well technically the film warns that it is not a love story at all. With a kicking soundtrack that includes classic modern rock music from stalwarts like The Smiths to new bands (including Atlanta’s own Black Lips – see them in We Fun as well, also playing at the festival), Fox Searchlight (the studio that brought you Slumdog Millionaire and Little Miss Sunshine) serve up another sure to be crowd-pleasing indie hit.

An acting class. Today's scene: the orgasm from 'When Harry Met Sally.'

The emotional landscape of a recently broken-up couple plays out as a civil war battle that destroys both of their apartments.

Alex (Jess Weixler, Teeth), an actress, seems happily married to her musician husband, Elliot, but their artistic natures provide specific challenges to their fairly new marriage. Elliot is away for periods of time on tour, while Alex has just been cast in a new play that includes an intense love scene with her attractive co-star, Jamie. When the attractions generated on stage begin to invade the real world it presents a challenge to her commitment to monogamy. Alex's only true confidant is her sister, Hellen, who has relationship issues of her own. Swanberg touches on some of the same themes as he has with his previous work, Nights and Weekends and Hannah Takes the Stairs (ATLFF 2007), particularly the issues of young couples trying to make relationships work (or sometimes not trying to), but he takes a bit of a departure by working with a cast of almost entirely professional actors as opposed to the largely filmmaker/actor casts that have populated his previous films. The combination with Swanberg's improvisational style marks the next step in an already noteworthy yet still burgeoning filmmaking career.

Art & Copy is about advertising and creativity, and its profound effects on modern culture. Beginning with advertising's "Creative Revolution" of the mid-1960s, Art & Copy features writers and artists such as Lee Clow, who introduced Macintosh computer in "1984;" Dan Wieden, who coined "Just Do It" and changed how our nation views sports; Hal Riney, whose emotional ads for Reagan insured his reelection; Phyllis K. Robinson who helped invent the "me generation" with a Clairol tagline; George Lois, who vitalized MTV and introduced Tommy Hilfiger overnight; Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein who "Got Milk?," and Mary Wells Lawrence, who repackaged the City of New York via her "I love NY" campaign. By defying the conventions of traditional advertising, each of these individuals brought a revolutionary spirit to their work. Directed by Doug Pray (Surfwise, Scratch) the film interweaves stunning cinematography of TV satellites being launched, billboards being erected, and some of the greatest ad campaigns of all time, resulting in an inspiring synthesis of art, commerce and human emotion.
