DESCRIPTION:FLORIDA PREMIER! Writer-director Rod Lurie’s new film is the\
 nstory of Rachel Armstrong (Kate Beckinsale)\,\na young reporter on the 
 national desk of a major\nWashington\, D.C. daily paper. Rachel writes a
 n\nexplosive story that reveals the identity of covert\nCIA agent\, Eric
 a Van Doren (Vera Farmiga)\, which\nleads to the government’s furious ef
 forts to\nuncover the identity of Rachel’s source.\nWith the support of 
 her editor\, Bonnie Benjamin\n(St. Petersburg’s own Angela Bassett)\, th
 e\npaper’s in-house attorney\, Avril Aaronson (Noah\nWyle) and her husba
 nd\, Ray (David Schwimmer)\,\nRebecca defies the charismatic\, career-mi
 nded\nspecial prosecutor\, Patton Dubois (Matt Dillon)\nand the U.S. Dis
 trict Judge. She is convicted\nof contempt of court and thrown in jail\,

 st Amendment grounds — a case\nhe argues all the way to the U.S. Supreme
 \nCourt. Everyone is rabid to know: Who is the\nsource and why is Rebecc
 a so committed to\nsacrificing so much to protect it? As with Lurie’s\nf
 ilmmaking breakout The Contender\, for which\nJoan Allen and Jeff Bridge
 s were nominated for\nAcademy Awards®\, Nothing But The Truth\, is\nset 
 in Washington\, D.C.\, staged at the harrowing\nintersection of governme

 nstrong women in the middle of a political power\nstruggle. This politic
 al thriller packed with\ngripping performances by Kate Beckinsale\,\nVer
 a Farmiga\, Alan Alda\, and Angela Bassett is\nmaking its Florida and So
 utheastern premiere\nat the Gasparilla International Film Fesival\nopeni
 ng night gala. Director Rod Lurie will attend and lead the film chat fol

 t matter who is President of\nthe United States when it comes to issues\
 nof war and peace? It explores this question\nby investigating one of th

 cy: What would President John\nF. Kennedy have done in Vietnam if he had
 \nnot been assassinated in 1963 and had he\nbeen re-elected in 1964? The
  film employs\nwhat Harvard historian Niall Ferguson calls\n“virtual his
 tory\,” assessing the plausibility\nof counterfactuals – “what ifs” – an
 d the\noutcomes they might have produced.

 . At the beginning of the\nNineties\, this impassive yet insinuating\,\n
 ambiguous figure appears set to assume his\nseventh mandate as Prime Min

 ll\, unchanging. Until\nthe strongest counter power in Italy\, the Mafia
 \,\ndeclares war on him. Then things change.\nPerhaps even for the enigm
 atic\, immortal\nAndreotti. \nBut the question is: do they really change
  or\nonly appear to? \nWe can be sure of one thing: it is difficult to\n
 tarnish Andreotti\, the man who knows the\nways of the world better than
  any of us.

SUMMARY:Il Divo
DESCRIPTION:Andreotti is synonym of power in Italy for\nover four decades
 . At the beginning of the\nNineties\, this impassive yet insinuating\,\n
 ambiguous figure appears set to assume his\nseventh mandate as Prime Min
 ister without\narrogance and without humility. \nHe is untouched by it a
 ll\, unchanging. Until\nthe strongest counter power in Italy\, the Mafia
 \,\ndeclares war on him. Then things change.\nPerhaps even for the enigm
 atic\, immortal\nAndreotti. \nBut the question is: do they really change
  or\nonly appear to? \nWe can be sure of one thing: it is difficult to\n
 tarnish Andreotti\, the man who knows the\nways of the world better than
  any of us.

SUMMARY:The Streak
DESCRIPTION:In 34 years\, one high school team has never lost.\n“The Stre
 ak” began in 1973\, and the Eagles\npiled up 459 consecutive victories a
 nd went 468\nmatches without a defeat. Both of those numbers\nare nation
 al records for a high school team in any\nsport. In the suburbs of Tampa
 \, Florida these are\nnormal kids from normal families. The picture\npai
 nted isn’t sugar-coated. The group is flawed\,\nand that’s what helps ma
 ke them perfect — perfect\nenough to go unbeaten for 34 years.\nIn the f
 ilm\, we meet the typical coach’s son who\nwas born to be a star. We lau
 gh at the vocal leader\ndrenched in hubris. We relate to the silent hero
 \nwho feels the pressure\, the late bloomer who\nfinds himself\, and the
  gentle giant who learns to\nroar. Yet none of them would mean anything 
 to us\nwithout the streak itself.\nAnd the streak wouldn’t exist without
  Coach Russ\nCozart who is far from the norm.

SUMMARY:Ghost of Ybor - Charlie Wall
DESCRIPTION:It may have been the South\, but in the early\n1900s\, Tampa\
 , Florida\, specifically its Latin\ncommunity known as Ybor City\, was m
 ore\nreminiscent of the Wild West. Gambling\nparlors and whore houses we
 re located on\nalmost every corner in Ybor City\, shootouts\nbetween pol
 ice and gangsters were a\nregular occurrence\, election ballot boxes\nwe
 re stuffed\, police and politicians were on\nthe take\, and very few res
 idents found any\nof this to be odd. The man behind all this\ninsanity w
 as Charlie Wall\, Tampa’s first crime\nlord and perhaps the earliest cri
 me lord to\ncontrol most of Florida. This documentary\ntells the tale of
  one the nation’s most\nunknown gangsters.
