Full Class Description

ATLFF Alums in Theaters

Winter's Bone presents a kind of quest through the criminal underworld, like a classic hard-boiled detective story, but one grounded in a documentary-style approach to life in this corner of America.

SOUL KITCHEN

SOUL KITCHEN centers on a likable but hopelessly disorganized restauranteur Zinos (co-screenwriter Adam Bousdoukos) whose cafe is second home to a motley crew of lovable eccentrics. When his girlfriend Nadine up and moves to Shanghai, a love-sick Zinos decides to fly after her, leaving his restaurant in the hands of his unreliable ex-con brother Illias. Both decisions turn out disastrous: Illias gambles away the restaurant to a shady real estate agent, and Zinos finds Nadine with a new lover. If the brothers can stop arguing and get it together, the Soul Kitchen might still have one last chance at staying in business. The mayhem that follows is a hilariously entertaining story of self-realization, set to an irresistibly soulful soundtrack.

Screening: Funeral Arrangements (Indie Memphis 2009)
Friday, September 3
The Plaza

Drew (Mr. Deejae), an aspiring producer, is fresh out of college with a degree in Music, but only a dead-end general labor job to show for it. His cousin Lance (Anwar Jamison), a hustler-type from Drew's hometown, arranges the opportunity that Drew has been seeking: an all-access, VIP night with some of the biggest movers and shakers in the music industry. However, there are two things standing in the way of Drew's dream evening: his company's attendance policy, which won't allow him to miss work, and his overbearing, insensitive, military-minded supervisor, Sarge (David Caffey), who is determined to uphold that policy. After telling his boss that he has to attend a funeral to avoid work, Drew finds himself caught up in a hilarious adventure that brings him closer to both love and death!
