As Max contemplates reopening a vintage gas station next to the diner,

Festival winner - Best Feature
BOXED
Description: Based
on several real-life accounts, this searing drama explores the ambiguous
role of the Catholic Church in the North’s political struggle for freedom.
Father Brendan (Tom Jordan Murphy) is an idealistic young priest called
to an abandoned house to hear the Last Confession of a suspected informer
awaiting execution by the IRA. Refusing to let the man be murdered, Brendan
sets in motion a chain of events that will expose not only the Church’s
collusion with terrorists but the fundamental hypocrisy at the heart of
Catholic Nationalism. Writer/Director Marion Comer has created a highly
complex, emotionally charged film, effortlessly building tension to a stunning,
and all too inevitable, climax.

girl. Charlie, her older sister, Jobie, and her mother come to live

GLISSANDO
Description:
Fifteen year old Jim and his troubled father drift through a series of
small Arizona desert towns in the early 1970s. They end up in Gila
Bend, a hot little desert hole, a place to get gas or a room for the night
before soon moving on. Jim's father takes a job as a desk clerk at
the Desert Gem Motel, and there meets Alida, a young woman who moves in
with them, becoming the father's girlfriend and the focus of all Jim's
attentions. Alida is the first woman to spend significant time around
Jim, and her presence unearths a tangle of feelings that he can neither
make sense of nor ignore. Based upon a story by acclaimed American
novelist Robert Boswell, Glissando is a heartbreaking glimpse at people
who drift through their own lives, trying both to find and to escape from
their pasts.

NOSEY
PARKER
Description: Sick
of suburbia, Natalie and Richard Newman move to rural Vermont to rejuvenate
their marriage. Natalie wants to start a family; Richard, who has grown
children from a first marriage, does not. As a compromise, they build
a trophy house. The construction of this dreamhouse inevitably leads
to a visit from the local tax assessors (known in Vermont as town listers).
This confrontation introduces the Newmans to George Lyford, a lister, farmer,
and somewhat xenophobic native. Over the course of two inspections, Natalie
and George develop a flirtation, but their connection, their connectedness,
never becomes infidelity; this is a love story, not a love affair.
As RIchard becomes jealous, each party to the triangle makes an effort
to defuse the crisis. There is not a plotted climax at the end of the film,
but rather a synthesis of the film's themes: the new and the old; life
and death; fiction and non-fiction.

a few pages from a script. He steals a few pages from writer Toni
