ORZ BOYZ
Family Fest/Featured
Loathed by teachers for their unruliness and talent for tall tales (which they use to scam other kids for loose change), they are nicknamed Liar No. 1 and Liar No. 2, and banished to the library to repair books. This becomes their hotbed of storybook adventure, fueling a belief that a nearby marine park is a "portal to hyper-space" - some magical shortcut to adulthood. However, their plan is spoiled by an act of betrayal that leads to the loss of innocence. Over time we learn why the boys want to stop being kids: their respective family situations offer numerous difficulties and challenges. Yang dedicates this bittersweet film "to children who want to rush into adulthood, as well as grownups who wish to be kids again."

TOKYO!
Featured/Gala Presentation
In TOKYO!, three internationally acclaimed directors spin three tales, each mischievously blending fantasy with reality. In Interior Design, Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) follows a couple crashing a friend’s cramped apartment while attempting to begin their new life in the big city. In Merde, Leos Carax (Lovers on the Bridge) presents a skewed Japanese monster movie that asks, “What if Godzilla was required to go through due process?” And in Shaking Tokyo, Bong Joon-ho (The Host) examines the life of a hikikomori (recluse) who accidentally connects with another human being and the effects of his interaction upon the larger world. The injection of the fantastical into Tokyo!, allows the directors to playfully ask serious questions, making for a profound, yet whimsical experience. --Chris Claxton
