  • Accepted Film List
    Run Screening Screening Screening Title Year Premiere? Director Time Icons Synopisis: 3-line Venue Date Time The Amateurs 2005 Michael Traegers 97 Mins. Michael Traeger's directorial debut The Amateurs is a hillarious, sexy comedy about this small Cable Car August 10th 5:00 PM town's attempt to make what becomes the world's most innocent adult film. The quest begins innocently enough with Andy (Jeff Bridges) seeing that sex is everywhere; in the paper, all over town, everywhere. It's a multi-billion dollar industry, and better yet, one of its more popular forms is the amateur variety. And Andy and his friends are indeed amateurs, so better yet, one of its more popular forms is the amateur variety. And Andy and his friends are indeed amateurs, so why shouldn't they be able to strike it rich in this booming industry? The Amateurs is a sweetly comic film that plays with the conventions of filmmaking and the movie business all while having fun with its good-hearted characters. Land of the Blind 2006 Robert Edwards 101 Min. LAND OF THE BLIND is a satiric and timely political drama about terrorism, revolution, and the Cable Car August 10th 7:00 PM power of memory. In an unnamed place and time, an idealistic soldier named Joe (Ralph Fiennes) strikes up an illicit friendship with a political prisoner named Thorne (Donald Sutherland), who eventually recruits him into a bloody coup d'etat. But in the post-revolutionary world, what Thorne asks of Joe leads the two men into bitter conflict, spiraling downward into madness until Joe's co- conspirators conclude that they must erase him from history.

Abstract: This bachelor thesis aims to compare the novel The Cider House Rules, written by John Irving in 1985, and its film adaptation (Miramax, 1999). After a short introduction of the writer and his work, the thesis compares the most important differences between the story featured in the original and the adaptation. The main part of the thesis deals with changes made for individual characters in the context of limitations of film as medium. In chapter 5 the thesis aims to impartially refer to the controversial topic of abortions and how the question of abortions differs in the novel and in the film.
