Rated PG-13 141 min.

Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet, Strictly Ballroom) blows the cobwebs off of this literary classic by brining all of his famed visual flair to F. Scott Fitzgerald's slim but thematically rich novel. Leonardo DiCaprio plays the enigmatic Jay Gatsby; Carey Mulligan costars as the shallow, emotionally fragile Daisy Buchanan, with whom Gatsby has a doomed affair. And Toby Maguire plays Gatsby's neighbor Nick Carraway, who also serves as the story's narrator.

The Port Townsend Film Institute is pleased to host a visit from distinguished filmmaker Micha Peled. Peled, a two-time, past guest of the PT Film Festival, will present his Globalization Trilogy, with behind-the-scenes stories of his travels throughout China, India and the United States. The Trilogy puts a human face on global economic forces and how they shape today's world.

Store Wars follows a year in the life of a small town that is torn apart when Walmart decides to build a new mega-store in the area. China Blue follows a young girl's journey into the harsh world of sweatshop labor in a Chinese factory that makes blue jeans. Bitter Seeds looks at the raw materials -- the crisis of the farmers in India who are growing the cotton that is exported to China's garment factories to be used for clothes sold in the West. The film raises critical questions about the human cost of genetically modified agriculture and the future of how we grow our crops. "

'Bitter Seeds' masterfully weaves a rich tapestry of compelling human stories and subplots, that allows you to enter a world that is both personal and profound." -Joel Berlinger, Director, Paradise Lost

Renoir - Returning by Request - 3 Shows
Click for Review HERE
View the Trailer HERE
Rated R 111 min.

"I refuse to paint the world black," declares Pierre-Auguste Renoir in Renoir, Gilles Bourdos's compassionate and sensuous late-life portrait of this French Impressionist painter. It is the summer of 1915, and as the Great War rages to the north, Renoir devotes himself to the female nudes that dominated his late style. Female beauty is his protest, his refuge, his sanity, and Andree (Christa Theret) becomes his last model and muse. She is also irresistible to Renoir's son Jean, who of course went on to become a famous movie director (La Grande Illusion, The Rules of the Game, French Cancan). The film is gorgeously photographed by cinematographer Mark Ping Bing Lee (In the Mood for Love).

"'Renoir' is a masterpiece come to life." -Jeffrey Lyons

"Gorgeous. 'Renoir' is a reminder that in French cinema, female beauty is regarded as ageless." -Stephen Holden, The New York Times
