RECENT FILMS SCREENED BY OUR ATLANTA CLUB
73% on the Key Meter $204,640 in the Box Office	MY BROTHER IS AN ONLY CHILD Brothers Accio (Elio Germano) and Manrico (Riccardo Scamarcio) grow up in the provincial town of Latina. They are trapped in a seemingly endless wait for decent council housing. Accio joins a Seminary and initially seems destined to become a priest. Later he goes back home and is befriended by a local market trader with extreme right wing tendencies. In the meantime Manrico gets a job in a factory, becomes a union leader and falls in love with Francesca (Diane Fleri).
93% on the Key Meter $3,049,140 in the Box Office	THE BAND'S VISIT Once, not long ago, a small Egyptian Police band arrived in Israel. They came to play at an initiation ceremony but, due to bureaucracy, bad luck, or for whatever reason, they were left stranded at the airport. They tried to manage on their own, only to find themselves in a desolate, almost forgotten, small Israeli town, somewhere in the heart of the desert. A lost band in a lost town. Not many people remember this. It wasn't that important.
95% on the Key Meter $111,469 in the Box Office	WAR/DANCE For over 20 years, Northern Uganda has been a war zone, and as a vicious rebel force, the Lord's Resistance Army has run rampant, destroying villages, kidnapping children, and murdering parents. The 60,000 survivors are forced to live in a refugee camp, where conditions are bleak and resources are scarce. Somehow, the children of the Patongo Primary School have qualified for the Kampala Music Festival competition for the first time, a feat unto itself; yet these children are determined to take home the championship prize.
