When Air Force One is shot down by terrorists leaving the President of
the United States stranded in the wilderness, there is only one person
around who can save him - a 13-year old boy called Oskari. In the forest
on a hunting mission to prove his maturity to his kinsfolk, Oskari had
been planning to track down a deer, but instead discovers the most
powerful man on the planet in an escape pod. With the terrorists closing
in to capture their own "Big Game" prize, the unlikely duo must team up
to escape their hunters. As anxious Pentagon officials observe the
action via satellite feed, it is up to the President and his new
side-kick to prove themselves and survive the most extraordinary 24
hours of their lives.

CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA
At the peak of her international career, Maria Enders is asked to
perform in a revival of the play that made her famous twenty years ago.
But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who
disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is
being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena. She
departs with her assistant to rehearse in Sils Maria; a remote region of
the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal is to
take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of
the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in
essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.
IRIS
IRIS pairs the 87-year-old Maysles with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted,
flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized
presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion
film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how, even at Iris'
advanced age, a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. IRIS portrays
a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are
life's sustenance and reminds us that dressing, and indeed life, is
nothing but an experiment. Despite the abundance of glamour in her
current life, she continues to embrace the values and work ethic
established during a middle-class Queens upbringing during the Great
Depression. I feel lucky to be working. If you're lucky enough to do
something you love, everything else follows.
