	Stories We Tell 6:45 PM Tower Theater What makes a family? TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE – MIAMI PREMIERE Directed by Sarah Polley Starring Pixie Bigelow, Deirdre Bowen, Geoffrey Bowes Canada \| 2012 \| 108 min \| Documentary \| Rated PG-13 English with No subtitles In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar-nominated writer-director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story.

A triumph.” - Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru Full review “What unfolds is a riveting drama that grows even more so as it plays out.” - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post Full review “With Stories We Tell, actress-turned-director Sarah Polley has proven herself a consummate filmmaker, transforming an incredible personal story into a playful and profound investigation into the nature of storytelling itself.” - Annlee Ellingson, Paste Magazine Full review “Polley's compassion and curiosity again mark her as both a heartfelt and unforgiving filmmaker.” - Matt Pais, RedEye Full review
	The Iran Job 6:50 PM Tower Theater You will be on the edge of your seat! TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE – MIAMI PREMIERE Directed by Till Schauder Starring Kevin Sheppard USA, Iran, Germany \| 2012 \| 90 min \| Documentary \| Not rated English and Persian with English subtitles The Iran Job follows charismatic American basketball player Kevin Sheppard as he accepts a job to play in one of the world's most feared countries: Iran. With tensions running high between Iran and the West, Kevin tries to separate sports from politics only to find that politics is impossible to escape in Iran. Along the way, he forms an unlikely alliance with three outspoken Iranian women. Thanks to these women, his apartment turns into an oasis of free speech, where they discuss everything from politics to religion to gender roles. Kevin's season in Iran culminates in something much bigger than basketball: the uprising and subsequent suppression of Iran's reformist Green Movement - a powerful prelude to the sweeping changes across the Middle East in the wake of the Arab Spring.

For years, Cuban exiles in the United States have waited in vain for Castro’s Revolution to be dismantled. Now, 54 years later, re-evaluation has set in for many, and they confess to no longer “feeling Cuban.” Instead, a new identity has taken hold for them: Cubamerican. What “Cubamerican” means – what it looks like, what it feels like – is Pardo’s subject. He interviews many prominent Cubamericans, and explores the timely and fascinating subject of shifting personal and cultural identities.

	Becoming Traviata (Traviata et nous) 3:50 PM Tower Theater A fight for perfection, behind-the-scenes BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND ONE WEEK ONLY Directed by Philippe Beziat Starring Natalie Dessay, Charles Castronovo, Louis Langree, Jean-François Sivadier France \| 2012 \| 120 min \| Documentary, Musical \| Rated PG French, English, Italian with English subtitles Becoming Traviata is an exhilarating account of the creative process and a rousing, uniquely accessible rendition of Verdi’s glorious opera. Director Béziat, known for his innovative documentaries on classical music, trains his cameras on a 2011 production of La Traviata helmed by celebrated stage director Jean-François Sivadier. We get a behind-the-scenes look at such areas as set design and musical direction, but the heart of the film is the intense collaboration between Sivadier and charismatic soprano Natalie Dessay. With an emphasis on stunning, psychologically revealing gestures, they work out a naturalistic, erotic, emotionally direct interpretation of Violetta that is mirrored by the immediacy of the in-rehearsal performances. Editing by Cyril Leuthy Music: Verdi’s La Traviata performed by London Symphony Orchestra “A treat for fans of opera, the performing arts and documentaries about process.” Ronnie Scheib – Variety Full review “It has what any good movie needs: a star - the ever-game soprano Natalie Dessay. ” Rachel Saltz - New York Times Full review “Dessay's waifishness makes her entirely believable as a woman dying from a lung disease. And the camera adores her. She could have the career in movies that once seemed to await Maria Callas.” Craig Seligman, Bloomberg News Full review

TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE – MIAMI PREMIERE Directed by Sarah Polley Starring Pixie Bigelow, Deirdre Bowen, Geoffrey Bowes Canada \| 2012 \| 108 min \| Documentary \| Rated PG-13 English with No subtitles In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar-nominated writer-director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions.

Director Béziat, known for his innovative documentaries on classical music, trains his cameras on a 2011 production of La Traviata helmed by celebrated stage director Jean-François Sivadier. We get a behind-the-scenes look at such areas as set design and musical direction, but the heart of the film is the intense collaboration between Sivadier and charismatic soprano Natalie Dessay. With an emphasis on stunning, psychologically revealing gestures, they work out a naturalistic, erotic, emotionally direct interpretation of Violetta that is mirrored by the immediacy of the in-rehearsal performances. Editing by Cyril Leuthy Music: Verdi’s La Traviata performed by London Symphony Orchestra “A treat for fans of opera, the performing arts and documentaries about process.” Ronnie Scheib – Variety Full review “It has what any good movie needs: a star - the ever-game soprano Natalie Dessay. ” Rachel Saltz - New York Times Full review “Dessay's waifishness makes her entirely believable as a woman dying from a lung disease.

The elder Renoir is filled with a new, wholly unexpected energy when a young girl miraculously enters his world. Blazing with life, radiantly beautiful, Andrée will become his last model, and the wellspring of a remarkable rejuvenation. At the same time, Jean, who will become one of the greatest filmmakers ever, also falls under the spell of the free-spirited young Andrée.

	Cubamerican Is a new identity born? MIAMI COMMERCIAL DEBUT Directed by José Enrique Pardo Starring Andy García, Steven Bauer, Dr. Eduardo Padrón, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Mirta Ojito, Lorna and Lorena Feijóo, Carlos Eire, USA \| 2013 \| 110 min \| Documentary \| Not Rated English with Spanish subtitles ”The startling move of José Enrique Pardo in Cubamerican is to take a conversation that few people are having and put it front and center on the screen in this transformative documentary.” – Jaie Laplante, Miami International Film Festival Cubamerican´s, universal theme centers around the heart-wrenching, life altering decision to leave one’s native land and the transcendence of that hardship by assimilating into a new country. For years, Cuban exiles in the United States have waited in vain for Castro’s Revolution to be dismantled. Now, 54 years later, re-evaluation has set in for many, and they confess to no longer “feeling Cuban.” Instead, a new identity has taken hold for them: Cubamerican. What “Cubamerican” means – what it looks like, what it feels like – is Pardo’s subject. He interviews many prominent Cubamericans, and explores the timely and fascinating subject of shifting personal and cultural identities.

Stewards of the collection since 2011, the Museum is located within the College’s historic Freedom Tower. Featuring artworks by 10 artists, including José Mijares and Ernesto de la Vega Pujol, and compositions by CINTAS music composition fellows Tania Leon and Orlando Jacinto Garcia, the exhibition explores the theoretical structure of Magical Realism; a mid-20th century Latin American literary movement. Curated by the MDC Museum of Art + Design Curatorial Intern – Natalie Fulgencio Perez, the exhibition explores concepts of race, religion and culture through the use of fantastical elements in everyday situations. The exhibition and artists selected are not concerned with taking a political or social position but, through the arrangement of forms; redefine the ordinary with extraordinary creating elements that allow a variety of arguments to surface. “The depth and magnitude of artists and artworks within the prestigious CINTAS Foundation Fellows Collection continues to exemplify the contributions and impact that artists of Cuban descent have made over the past 50 years,” said Jeremy Mikolajczak, executive director of the MDC Museum & Galleries of Art + Design. He added: “The continuous rotations and exhibitions further the interpretation and reinterpretation of the collection, engaging audiences in new ways of seeing and experiencing the strength and verisimilitude of the work by the CINTAS Fellows.” A Poetic Reality will remain on exhibit through Sept. 21. A Poetic Reality: Magical Realismof the CINTAS Fellows Collection, as well as the Museum’s summer exhibition series, is presented with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.

	Stories We Tell 6:45 PM Tower Theater What makes a family? TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE – MIAMI PREMIERE Directed by Sarah Polley Starring Pixie Bigelow, Deirdre Bowen, Geoffrey Bowes Canada \| 2012 \| 108 min \| Documentary \| Rated PG-13 English with No subtitles In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar-nominated writer-director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story.

TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE – MIAMI PREMIERE Directed by Till Schauder Starring Kevin Sheppard USA, Iran, Germany \| 2012 \| 90 min \| Documentary \| Not rated English and Persian with English subtitles The Iran Job follows charismatic American basketball player Kevin Sheppard as he accepts a job to play in one of the world's most feared countries: Iran. With tensions running high between Iran and the West, Kevin tries to separate sports from politics only to find that politics is impossible to escape in Iran. Along the way, he forms an unlikely alliance with three outspoken Iranian women. Thanks to these women, his apartment turns into an oasis of free speech, where they discuss everything from politics to religion to gender roles. Kevin's season in Iran culminates in something much bigger than basketball: the uprising and subsequent suppression of Iran's reformist Green Movement - a powerful prelude to the sweeping changes across the Middle East in the wake of the Arab Spring.

	Carmina or Blow Up (Carmina o revienta) 9:15 PM Tower Theater Finally, the film that has become a popular phenomenon in Spain TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE Directed by Paco León Starring Carmina Barrios (as Carmina Barrios), María León (as María León), Paco Casaus, Ana García María 2012 \| Spain \| 71 min \| Comedy, Docudrama \| Not Rated Spanish with Spanish subtitles Famous comedian Paco León drags us to the surreal and wild world of Carmina, a 58 year old woman who manages a bar with Iberian products in Seville. Due to the lack of support from the insurance company following a series of robberies, Carmina has to find an alternative way of getting the money back to support her family. While she waits in her kitchen for her plan to develop, Carmina reflects on her life, deeds, and miracles. A much larger truth about this remarkable and resilient woman powerfully emerges. In his hilarious and creative film, Spanish comedy star Paco León, conducts his own mother, Carmina Barrios, through an astonishing fusion between her real-life person and a chica-Almodóvar-like character. Paco León’s directorial debut was the first Spanish film to be released simultaneously in theaters, DVD, on pay TV and online, with very positive first-weekend results. The untranslatable Spanish title is a pun on Vicente Aranda's 1987 movie El Lute: Camina o revienta.

Star of the show is Leon's larger-than-life mother, Carmina Barrios, around whom he's built a quirky contraption that's part character study, part faux docu, part homage to the Andalucian picaresque tradition and part lively love letter to Mom." - Jonathan Holland, Variety “Short, swift and lively as hell.” - James van Maanen, TrustMovies "One of the most original, bright, and fun films that I've seen in recent cinema...a subtle, intelligent and very truthful thesis of the limits of reality. Brilliant." - Luis Martínez, El Mundo (Spain) “Although Barrios won the actress award at the Malaga fest, Carmina is mostly just being herself. She's the kind of resilient, good-hearted and unintentionally hilarious femme character whom Pedro Almódovar has made a career out of celebrating. Raunchy, continually complaining about her ailments, hypercritical of others but still defensive of her worthless hubby, she delivers a string of pearls of Andalucian wit and wisdom.”- Francisco Casals, Rotten Tomatoes "An innovative, unpredictable, and extremely entertaining piece. An auteur is born: welcome." - Jordi Batlle Caminal, La Vanguardia

For years, Cuban exiles in the United States have waited in vain for Castro’s Revolution to be dismantled. Now, 54 years later, re-evaluation has set in for many, and they confess to no longer “feeling Cuban.” Instead, a new identity has taken hold for them: Cubamerican. What “Cubamerican” means – what it looks like, what it feels like – is Pardo’s subject. He interviews many prominent Cubamericans, and explores the timely and fascinating subject of shifting personal and cultural identities.

He added: “The continuous rotations and exhibitions further the interpretation and reinterpretation of the collection, engaging audiences in new ways of seeing and experiencing the strength and verisimilitude of the work by the CINTAS Fellows.” A Poetic Reality will remain on exhibit through Sept. 21.

	Stories We Tell 9:15 PM Tower Theater What makes a family? TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE – MIAMI PREMIERE Directed by Sarah Polley Starring Pixie Bigelow, Deirdre Bowen, Geoffrey Bowes Canada \| 2012 \| 108 min \| Documentary \| Rated PG-13 English with No subtitles In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar-nominated writer-director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story. Screenplay by Sarah Polley Cinematography by Iris Ng Editing by Mike Munn Original Score by Jonathan Goldsmith 2013 Genie Awards: Won,Canadian Screen Award Best Feature Length Documentary 2013 Golden Trailer Awards: Nominated, Best Foreign Documentary Trailer 2013 Toronto Film Critics Association Awards: Won, TFCA Best Documentary, Best Canadian Film 2013 Vancouver Film Critics Circle: Nominated, Best Canadian Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay “What I can say is that the movie is dramatically compelling, journalistically fascinating, cinematically profound, and intellectually challenging.” - Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid Full review “Don't be fooled by its deceptively simple title or the hesitant, unassuming way it begins. Writer-director Sarah Polley's Stories We Tell ends up an invigorating powerhouse of a personal documentary, adventurous and absolutely fascinating.” - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Full review “Suspenseful, unpredictable, mature, tender and funny. A triumph.” - Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru Full review “What unfolds is a riveting drama that grows even more so as it plays out.” - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post Full review “With Stories We Tell, actress-turned-director Sarah Polley has proven herself a consummate filmmaker, transforming an incredible personal story into a playful and profound investigation into the nature of storytelling itself.” - Annlee Ellingson, Paste Magazine Full review “Polley's compassion and curiosity again mark her as both a heartfelt and unforgiving filmmaker.” - Matt Pais, RedEye Full review
	Carmina or Blow Up (Carmina o revienta) 9:25 PM Tower Theater Finally, the film that has become a popular phenomenon in Spain TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE Directed by Paco León Starring Carmina Barrios (as Carmina Barrios), María León (as María León), Paco Casaus, Ana García María 2012 \| Spain \| 71 min \| Comedy, Docudrama \| Not Rated Spanish with Spanish subtitles Famous comedian Paco León drags us to the surreal and wild world of Carmina, a 58 year old woman who manages a bar with Iberian products in Seville. Due to the lack of support from the insurance company following a series of robberies, Carmina has to find an alternative way of getting the money back to support her family. While she waits in her kitchen for her plan to develop, Carmina reflects on her life, deeds, and miracles. A much larger truth about this remarkable and resilient woman powerfully emerges. In his hilarious and creative film, Spanish comedy star Paco León, conducts his own mother, Carmina Barrios, through an astonishing fusion between her real-life person and a chica-Almodóvar-like character. Paco León’s directorial debut was the first Spanish film to be released simultaneously in theaters, DVD, on pay TV and online, with very positive first-weekend results. The untranslatable Spanish title is a pun on Vicente Aranda's 1987 movie El Lute: Camina o revienta. Screenplay by Paco León Cinematography by Juan González Editing by Ana Álvarez Ossorio 2012 Malaga Spanish Film festival: Won, Special Jury Prize, Best Actress and Audience Award 2012 San Sebastian International Film Festival: Official Selection 2012 Valladolid International Film Festival: Official Selection 2013 Fine Arts Film Festival and European Union Film Festival: Official Selection 2012 Spanish Cinema Now, Lincoln Center “Distinctive, enjoyable.” - Jonathan Holland, Variety “In tough times, Spaniards turn to family, which is just what thesp-turned-helmer Paco Leon has done with his distinctive, enjoyable debut, Carmina or Blow Up. Star of the show is Leon's larger-than-life mother, Carmina Barrios, around whom he's built a quirky contraption that's part character study, part faux docu, part homage to the Andalucian picaresque tradition and part lively love letter to Mom." - Jonathan Holland, Variety “Short, swift and lively as hell.” - James van Maanen, TrustMovies "One of the most original, bright, and fun films that I've seen in recent cinema...a subtle, intelligent and very truthful thesis of the limits of reality. Brilliant." - Luis Martínez, El Mundo (Spain) “Although Barrios won the actress award at the Malaga fest, Carmina is mostly just being herself. She's the kind of resilient, good-hearted and unintentionally hilarious femme character whom Pedro Almódovar has made a career out of celebrating. Raunchy, continually complaining about her ailments, hypercritical of others but still defensive of her worthless hubby, she delivers a string of pearls of Andalucian wit and wisdom.”- Francisco Casals, Rotten Tomatoes "An innovative, unpredictable, and extremely entertaining piece. An auteur is born: welcome." - Jordi Batlle Caminal, La Vanguardia

	Cubamerican 6:40 PM Is a new identity born? MIAMI COMMERCIAL DEBUT Directed by José Enrique Pardo Starring Andy García, Steven Bauer, Dr. Eduardo Padrón, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Mirta Ojito, Lorna and Lorena Feijóo, Carlos Eire, USA \| 2013 \| 110 min \| Documentary \| Not Rated English with Spanish subtitles ”The startling move of José Enrique Pardo in Cubamerican is to take a conversation that few people are having and put it front and center on the screen in this transformative documentary.” – Jaie Laplante, Miami International Film Festival Cubamerican´s, universal theme centers around the heart-wrenching, life altering decision to leave one’s native land and the transcendence of that hardship by assimilating into a new country. For years, Cuban exiles in the United States have waited in vain for Castro’s Revolution to be dismantled. Now, 54 years later, re-evaluation has set in for many, and they confess to no longer “feeling Cuban.” Instead, a new identity has taken hold for them: Cubamerican. What “Cubamerican” means – what it looks like, what it feels like – is Pardo’s subject. He interviews many prominent Cubamericans, and explores the timely and fascinating subject of shifting personal and cultural identities.

	Stories We Tell 9:15 PM Tower Theater What makes a family? TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE – MIAMI PREMIERE Directed by Sarah Polley Starring Pixie Bigelow, Deirdre Bowen, Geoffrey Bowes Canada \| 2012 \| 108 min \| Documentary \| Rated PG-13 English with No subtitles In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar-nominated writer-director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story. Screenplay by Sarah Polley Cinematography by Iris Ng Editing by Mike Munn Original Score by Jonathan Goldsmith 2013 Genie Awards: Won,Canadian Screen Award Best Feature Length Documentary 2013 Golden Trailer Awards: Nominated, Best Foreign Documentary Trailer 2013 Toronto Film Critics Association Awards: Won, TFCA Best Documentary, Best Canadian Film 2013 Vancouver Film Critics Circle: Nominated, Best Canadian Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay “What I can say is that the movie is dramatically compelling, journalistically fascinating, cinematically profound, and intellectually challenging.” - Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid Full review “Don't be fooled by its deceptively simple title or the hesitant, unassuming way it begins. Writer-director Sarah Polley's Stories We Tell ends up an invigorating powerhouse of a personal documentary, adventurous and absolutely fascinating.” - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Full review “Suspenseful, unpredictable, mature, tender and funny. A triumph.” - Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru Full review “What unfolds is a riveting drama that grows even more so as it plays out.” - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post Full review “With Stories We Tell, actress-turned-director Sarah Polley has proven herself a consummate filmmaker, transforming an incredible personal story into a playful and profound investigation into the nature of storytelling itself.” - Annlee Ellingson, Paste Magazine Full review “Polley's compassion and curiosity again mark her as both a heartfelt and unforgiving filmmaker.” - Matt Pais, RedEye Full review
	Carmina or Blow Up (Carmina o revienta) 9:25 PM Tower Theater Finally, the film that has become a popular phenomenon in Spain TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE Directed by Paco León Starring Carmina Barrios (as Carmina Barrios), María León (as María León), Paco Casaus, Ana García María 2012 \| Spain \| 71 min \| Comedy, Docudrama \| Not Rated Spanish with Spanish subtitles Famous comedian Paco León drags us to the surreal and wild world of Carmina, a 58 year old woman who manages a bar with Iberian products in Seville. Due to the lack of support from the insurance company following a series of robberies, Carmina has to find an alternative way of getting the money back to support her family. While she waits in her kitchen for her plan to develop, Carmina reflects on her life, deeds, and miracles. A much larger truth about this remarkable and resilient woman powerfully emerges. In his hilarious and creative film, Spanish comedy star Paco León, conducts his own mother, Carmina Barrios, through an astonishing fusion between her real-life person and a chica-Almodóvar-like character. Paco León’s directorial debut was the first Spanish film to be released simultaneously in theaters, DVD, on pay TV and online, with very positive first-weekend results. The untranslatable Spanish title is a pun on Vicente Aranda's 1987 movie El Lute: Camina o revienta.

Star of the show is Leon's larger-than-life mother, Carmina Barrios, around whom he's built a quirky contraption that's part character study, part faux docu, part homage to the Andalucian picaresque tradition and part lively love letter to Mom." - Jonathan Holland, Variety “Short, swift and lively as hell.” - James van Maanen, TrustMovies "One of the most original, bright, and fun films that I've seen in recent cinema...a subtle, intelligent and very truthful thesis of the limits of reality. Brilliant." - Luis Martínez, El Mundo (Spain) “Although Barrios won the actress award at the Malaga fest, Carmina is mostly just being herself. She's the kind of resilient, good-hearted and unintentionally hilarious femme character whom Pedro Almódovar has made a career out of celebrating. Raunchy, continually complaining about her ailments, hypercritical of others but still defensive of her worthless hubby, she delivers a string of pearls of Andalucian wit and wisdom.”- Francisco Casals, Rotten Tomatoes "An innovative, unpredictable, and extremely entertaining piece. An auteur is born: welcome." - Jordi Batlle Caminal, La Vanguardia

Curated by the MDC Museum of Art + Design Curatorial Intern – Natalie Fulgencio Perez, the exhibition explores concepts of race, religion and culture through the use of fantastical elements in everyday situations. The exhibition and artists selected are not concerned with taking a political or social position but, through the arrangement of forms; redefine the ordinary with extraordinary creating elements that allow a variety of arguments to surface. “The depth and magnitude of artists and artworks within the prestigious CINTAS Foundation Fellows Collection continues to exemplify the contributions and impact that artists of Cuban descent have made over the past 50 years,” said Jeremy Mikolajczak, executive director of the MDC Museum & Galleries of Art + Design. He added: “The continuous rotations and exhibitions further the interpretation and reinterpretation of the collection, engaging audiences in new ways of seeing and experiencing the strength and verisimilitude of the work by the CINTAS Fellows.” A Poetic Reality will remain on exhibit through Sept. 21.

	Renoir 6:40 PM Tower Theater As sensually beautiful as Pierre-Auguste Renoir´s paintings BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND ONE WEEK ONLY Directed by Gilles Bourdos Starring Michel Bouquet, Vincent Rottiers, Christa Theret France \| 2013 \| 111 min \| Drama\| \| Rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian) French, Italian with English subtitles Set on the French Riviera in the summer of 1915, Gilles Bourdos' lushly atmospheric drama Renoir tells the story of celebrated Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, in declining health at age 74, and his middle son Jean, who returns home to convalesce after being wounded in World War I. The elder Renoir is filled with a new, wholly unexpected energy when a young girl miraculously enters his world. Blazing with life, radiantly beautiful, Andrée will become his last model, and the wellspring of a remarkable rejuvenation. At the same time, Jean, who will become one of the greatest filmmakers ever, also falls under the spell of the free-spirited young Andrée. Their beautiful home and majestic countryside grounds reverberate with familial intrigue, as both Renoirs, père et fils, become smitten with the enchanting and headstrong young muse. Screenplay by Gilles Bourdos, Jerome Tonnerre Cinematography by Mark Ping Bing Lee (cinematographer of In the Mood for Love), Editing by Yannick Kergoat Original Score by Alexandre Desplat 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Un certain regard: Official selection Critic´s Pick – Stephen Holden, The New York Times Full review “Sumptuous, savvy study of art making, love and light.” - John Anderson, Newsday Full Review “The director Gilles Bourdos' sunshiny Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man.” - David Denby, New Yorker Full Review “The sequences of Renoir and his chambermaids luxuriating in the sun-soaked countryside summon up not only Renoir's paintings but also such great Jean Renoir films as A Day in the Country.” - Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor Full Review “Bourdos' film offers an eye-pleasing approximation of the world that inspired Renoir to continue his prodigious output to the very end.” T'Cha Dunlevy, Montreal Gazette Full Review
	Stories We Tell 6:40 PM Tower Theater What makes a family? TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE – MIAMI PREMIERE Directed by Sarah Polley Starring Pixie Bigelow, Deirdre Bowen, Geoffrey Bowes Canada \| 2012 \| 108 min \| Documentary \| Rated PG-13 English with No subtitles In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar-nominated writer-director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story. Screenplay by Sarah Polley Cinematography by Iris Ng Editing by Mike Munn Original Score by Jonathan Goldsmith 2013 Genie Awards: Won,Canadian Screen Award Best Feature Length Documentary 2013 Golden Trailer Awards: Nominated, Best Foreign Documentary Trailer 2013 Toronto Film Critics Association Awards: Won, TFCA Best Documentary, Best Canadian Film 2013 Vancouver Film Critics Circle: Nominated, Best Canadian Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay “What I can say is that the movie is dramatically compelling, journalistically fascinating, cinematically profound, and intellectually challenging.” - Jeffrey M.

Writer-director Sarah Polley's Stories We Tell ends up an invigorating powerhouse of a personal documentary, adventurous and absolutely fascinating.” - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Full review “Suspenseful, unpredictable, mature, tender and funny. A triumph.” - Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru Full review “What unfolds is a riveting drama that grows even more so as it plays out.” - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post Full review “With Stories We Tell, actress-turned-director Sarah Polley has proven herself a consummate filmmaker, transforming an incredible personal story into a playful and profound investigation into the nature of storytelling itself.” - Annlee Ellingson, Paste Magazine Full review “Polley's compassion and curiosity again mark her as both a heartfelt and unforgiving filmmaker.” - Matt Pais, RedEye Full review
	Cubamerican 9:15 PM Is a new identity born? MIAMI COMMERCIAL DEBUT Directed by José Enrique Pardo Starring Andy García, Steven Bauer, Dr. Eduardo Padrón, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Mirta Ojito, Lorna and Lorena Feijóo, Carlos Eire, USA \| 2013 \| 110 min \| Documentary \| Not Rated English with Spanish subtitles ”The startling move of José Enrique Pardo in Cubamerican is to take a conversation that few people are having and put it front and center on the screen in this transformative documentary.” – Jaie Laplante, Miami International Film Festival Cubamerican´s, universal theme centers around the heart-wrenching, life altering decision to leave one’s native land and the transcendence of that hardship by assimilating into a new country. For years, Cuban exiles in the United States have waited in vain for Castro’s Revolution to be dismantled. Now, 54 years later, re-evaluation has set in for many, and they confess to no longer “feeling Cuban.” Instead, a new identity has taken hold for them: Cubamerican. What “Cubamerican” means – what it looks like, what it feels like – is Pardo’s subject. He interviews many prominent Cubamericans, and explores the timely and fascinating subject of shifting personal and cultural identities.

	Carmina or Blow Up (Carmina o revienta) 9:25 PM Tower Theater Finally, the film that has become a popular phenomenon in Spain TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE Directed by Paco León Starring Carmina Barrios (as Carmina Barrios), María León (as María León), Paco Casaus, Ana García María 2012 \| Spain \| 71 min \| Comedy, Docudrama \| Not Rated Spanish with Spanish subtitles Famous comedian Paco León drags us to the surreal and wild world of Carmina, a 58 year old woman who manages a bar with Iberian products in Seville. Due to the lack of support from the insurance company following a series of robberies, Carmina has to find an alternative way of getting the money back to support her family. While she waits in her kitchen for her plan to develop, Carmina reflects on her life, deeds, and miracles. A much larger truth about this remarkable and resilient woman powerfully emerges. In his hilarious and creative film, Spanish comedy star Paco León, conducts his own mother, Carmina Barrios, through an astonishing fusion between her real-life person and a chica-Almodóvar-like character. Paco León’s directorial debut was the first Spanish film to be released simultaneously in theaters, DVD, on pay TV and online, with very positive first-weekend results. The untranslatable Spanish title is a pun on Vicente Aranda's 1987 movie El Lute: Camina o revienta. Screenplay by Paco León Cinematography by Juan González Editing by Ana Álvarez Ossorio 2012 Malaga Spanish Film festival: Won, Special Jury Prize, Best Actress and Audience Award 2012 San Sebastian International Film Festival: Official Selection 2012 Valladolid International Film Festival: Official Selection 2013 Fine Arts Film Festival and European Union Film Festival: Official Selection 2012 Spanish Cinema Now, Lincoln Center “Distinctive, enjoyable.” - Jonathan Holland, Variety “In tough times, Spaniards turn to family, which is just what thesp-turned-helmer Paco Leon has done with his distinctive, enjoyable debut, Carmina or Blow Up. Star of the show is Leon's larger-than-life mother, Carmina Barrios, around whom he's built a quirky contraption that's part character study, part faux docu, part homage to the Andalucian picaresque tradition and part lively love letter to Mom." - Jonathan Holland, Variety “Short, swift and lively as hell.” - James van Maanen, TrustMovies "One of the most original, bright, and fun films that I've seen in recent cinema...a subtle, intelligent and very truthful thesis of the limits of reality. Brilliant." - Luis Martínez, El Mundo (Spain) “Although Barrios won the actress award at the Malaga fest, Carmina is mostly just being herself. She's the kind of resilient, good-hearted and unintentionally hilarious femme character whom Pedro Almódovar has made a career out of celebrating. Raunchy, continually complaining about her ailments, hypercritical of others but still defensive of her worthless hubby, she delivers a string of pearls of Andalucian wit and wisdom.”- Francisco Casals, Rotten Tomatoes "An innovative, unpredictable, and extremely entertaining piece. An auteur is born: welcome." - Jordi Batlle Caminal, La Vanguardia

	Becoming Traviata (Traviata et nous) 9:00 PM Tower Theater A fight for perfection, behind-the-scenes BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND ONE WEEK ONLY Directed by Philippe Beziat Starring Natalie Dessay, Charles Castronovo, Louis Langree, Jean-François Sivadier France \| 2012 \| 120 min \| Documentary, Musical \| Rated PG French, English, Italian with English subtitles Becoming Traviata is an exhilarating account of the creative process and a rousing, uniquely accessible rendition of Verdi’s glorious opera. Director Béziat, known for his innovative documentaries on classical music, trains his cameras on a 2011 production of La Traviata helmed by celebrated stage director Jean-François Sivadier.

	Stories We Tell 9:15 PM Tower Theater What makes a family? TOWER THEATER EXCLUSIVE – MIAMI PREMIERE Directed by Sarah Polley Starring Pixie Bigelow, Deirdre Bowen, Geoffrey Bowes Canada \| 2012 \| 108 min \| Documentary \| Rated PG-13 English with No subtitles In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar-nominated writer-director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story.

A triumph.” - Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru Full review “What unfolds is a riveting drama that grows even more so as it plays out.” - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post Full review “With Stories We Tell, actress-turned-director Sarah Polley has proven herself a consummate filmmaker, transforming an incredible personal story into a playful and profound investigation into the nature of storytelling itself.” - Annlee Ellingson, Paste Magazine Full review “Polley's compassion and curiosity again mark her as both a heartfelt and unforgiving filmmaker.” - Matt Pais, RedEye Full review

	Cubamerican Is a new identity born? MIAMI COMMERCIAL DEBUT Directed by José Enrique Pardo Starring Andy García, Steven Bauer, Dr. Eduardo Padrón, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Mirta Ojito, Lorna and Lorena Feijóo, Carlos Eire, USA \| 2013 \| 110 min \| Documentary \| Not Rated English with Spanish subtitles ”The startling move of José Enrique Pardo in Cubamerican is to take a conversation that few people are having and put it front and center on the screen in this transformative documentary.” – Jaie Laplante, Miami International Film Festival Cubamerican´s, universal theme centers around the heart-wrenching, life altering decision to leave one’s native land and the transcendence of that hardship by assimilating into a new country. For years, Cuban exiles in the United States have waited in vain for Castro’s Revolution to be dismantled. Now, 54 years later, re-evaluation has set in for many, and they confess to no longer “feeling Cuban.” Instead, a new identity has taken hold for them: Cubamerican. What “Cubamerican” means – what it looks like, what it feels like – is Pardo’s subject. He interviews many prominent Cubamericans, and explores the timely and fascinating subject of shifting personal and cultural identities.

	Cubamerican Is a new identity born? MIAMI COMMERCIAL DEBUT Directed by José Enrique Pardo Starring Andy García, Steven Bauer, Dr. Eduardo Padrón, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Mirta Ojito, Lorna and Lorena Feijóo, Carlos Eire, USA \| 2013 \| 110 min \| Documentary \| Not Rated English with Spanish subtitles ”The startling move of José Enrique Pardo in Cubamerican is to take a conversation that few people are having and put it front and center on the screen in this transformative documentary.” – Jaie Laplante, Miami International Film Festival Cubamerican´s, universal theme centers around the heart-wrenching, life altering decision to leave one’s native land and the transcendence of that hardship by assimilating into a new country. For years, Cuban exiles in the United States have waited in vain for Castro’s Revolution to be dismantled. Now, 54 years later, re-evaluation has set in for many, and they confess to no longer “feeling Cuban.” Instead, a new identity has taken hold for them: Cubamerican. What “Cubamerican” means – what it looks like, what it feels like – is Pardo’s subject. He interviews many prominent Cubamericans, and explores the timely and fascinating subject of shifting personal and cultural identities.

Stewards of the collection since 2011, the Museum is located within the College’s historic Freedom Tower. Featuring artworks by 10 artists, including José Mijares and Ernesto de la Vega Pujol, and compositions by CINTAS music composition fellows Tania Leon and Orlando Jacinto Garcia, the exhibition explores the theoretical structure of Magical Realism; a mid-20th century Latin American literary movement. Curated by the MDC Museum of Art + Design Curatorial Intern – Natalie Fulgencio Perez, the exhibition explores concepts of race, religion and culture through the use of fantastical elements in everyday situations. The exhibition and artists selected are not concerned with taking a political or social position but, through the arrangement of forms; redefine the ordinary with extraordinary creating elements that allow a variety of arguments to surface. “The depth and magnitude of artists and artworks within the prestigious CINTAS Foundation Fellows Collection continues to exemplify the contributions and impact that artists of Cuban descent have made over the past 50 years,” said Jeremy Mikolajczak, executive director of the MDC Museum & Galleries of Art + Design. He added: “The continuous rotations and exhibitions further the interpretation and reinterpretation of the collection, engaging audiences in new ways of seeing and experiencing the strength and verisimilitude of the work by the CINTAS Fellows.” A Poetic Reality will remain on exhibit through Sept. 21.
