The festival will begin and end by two thought-provoking and intriguing films. “You’ve
Been Trumped,” a film about mogul Donald Trump’s attempts to convert one of
Scotland’s last areas of coastal wilderness into a golf resort and local residents’ crusade
to “trump” his efforts and prevent construction was the first film to roll in the opening of
the festival.
The festival wrap up on Feb. 10 with “The Island President,” the story of Maldives
president Mohamed Nasheed and his attempts to prevent his country from disappearing
into the sea. The film features music by Radiohead.
With all pride and gratitude the festival is proud to announce the screening of two
Academy Award contenders. “Beasts of the Southern Wild” is a nominee for best picture
featuring the youngest-ever best actress nominee Quvenzhané Wallis. “Chasing Ice,”
a haunting look at glacial erosion, is nominated for best original song. Casey Coleman,
associate producer of “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” is scheduled to participate in a
post-screening Q&A session.
Academy Award nominated films mentioned are among the films to be screened

Detroit; “The House I Live In,” Eugene Jarecki’s examination of America’s war on drugs,
