LIVING FOR 32 is the inspirational true story of Colin Goddard, a survivor of the tragic Virginia Tech massacre that took place on April 16, 2007. Goddard’s passion, charisma and optimism have commanded the attention of the American public and media ever since that horrific day which left 32 dead and 17 injured. The film is a powerful portrait of Goddard, his account of the terror he and his classmates endured, and the courageous journey of renewal and hope he chose to pursue.

Set in contemporary Iran, A SEPARATION is a compelling drama about the dissolution of a marriage. Simin wants to leave Iran with her husband Nader and daughter Termeh. Simin sues for divorce when Nader refuses to leave behind his Alzheimer-suffering father. Her request having failed, Simin returns to her parents’ home, but Termeh decides to stay with Nader. When Nader hires a young woman to assist with his father in his wife’s absence, he hopes that his life will return to a normal state. However, when he discovers that the new maid has been lying to him, he realizes that there is more on the line than just his marriage.
“The best picture of the year!” -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
