Happily Ever After: did you ever wonder what happens when the last page is turned? This film allows you to find out by pushing the boundaries of traditional cinematographic storytelling. It's warm and beautiful, and yet in a most innovative and lighthearted way, it's asking us to think, and think hard (4 min. Directed by Lidia Sheinin.). Confessions of an Italian American: meet Joe Zara: Son of an Italian railroad worker who came the United States during the immigration boom of the early 20th century. Growing up with 12 brothers and sisters in a small row house in Trenton, NJ wasnt easy for Joe, but he managed to make it work. Now hes ready to tell the world how his cramped upbringing helped him form solid opinions on everything from the Catholic Church to gambling addiction. Join filmmaker Fred Zara as he turns the lens on his father to uncover confessions a lifetime in the making (16 min. Directed by Fred Zara.). Remo Usai shows the enormous life and work of Antonio Remo Usai, the greatest composer in the history of Brazilian cinema, with a filmography of almost 140 films. Remo studied with legendary film composer Miklos Rozsa back in 1956 at the University of Southern California. Rozsa was the composer for films like Ben-Hur (1959) and Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945). The documentary is directed by Bernardo Uzeda, a 22-year-old filmmaker, who is also a film composer--and who became an intimate friend of the legendary Remo Usai during the production of the film (20 min. Directed by Bernardo Uzeda.). Zefferino: Anthony Roth Costanzo strode onto stage of Princeton University's Richardson Auditorium and broke into song. His voice brought to life the celebrated art of a castrato named Zefirino, an imaginary character he had created for his senior thesis, leading to a full-scale operatic production. The film follows Costanzo on his creative journey from rehearsal to performance--a journey that ultimately would take him from the classrooms of Princeton to the papal halls of the Vatican (22 min. Directed by Gerardo Puglia.).
