Pick of the Week 

        

STRAY DOG

Harley-Davidson, leather, tattooed biceps: Ron "Stray Dog" Hall looks like an authentic tough guy. A Vietnam veteran, he runs a trailer park in rural Missouri with his wife, Alicia, who recently immigrated from Mexico. Gradually, a layered image comes into focus of a man struggling to come to terms with his combat experience. When Alicia's teenage sons arrive, the film reveals a tender portrait of an America outside the mainstream. STRAY DOG is a powerful look at the veteran experience, a surprising love story, and a fresh exploration of what it takes to survive in the hardscrabble heartland.

STRAY DOG director Debra Granik will participate in Q&A's after the 7:20 PM screenings at the Music Hall on Friday and Saturday, July 24 and 25. Kirsten Schaffer of Women in Film will moderate.

Pick of the Week

TANGERINE
It's Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and working girl Sin-Dee (incandescent newcomer Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend (James Ransone, Starlet, "Generation Kill") hasn't been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, Sin-Dee goes on a mission to track him down and set him straight, with her best friend Alexandra (newcomer Mya Taylor) tagging along hoping to cool her down. Their rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles, including an Armenian family dealing with their own repercussions of infidelity.

THE LOOK OF SILENCE
The Look of Silence is Joshua Oppenheimer's powerful companion piece to his Oscar-nominated The Act of Killing. Through Oppenheimer's footage of perpetrators of the 1965 Indonesian genocide, a family of survivors discovers how their son was murdered, as well as the identities of the killers. The documentary focuses on the youngest son, an optometrist named Adi, who decides to break the suffocating spell of submission and terror by doing something unimaginable in a society where the murderers remain in power-he confronts the men who killed his brother and, while testing their eyesight, asks them to accept responsibility for their actions.

Friday & Saturday, July 24 & 25 for Q&As after the 4:50pm and 7:30pm shows and to introduce the 10:00pm shows, and Sunday, July 26 for Q&As after the 4:50pm and 7:30pm shows: Director Joshua Oppenheimer
