2008 Nominees & Winners
Operation Homecoming: Writing The Wartime Experience
• Nominated for Best Documentary Feature •
Friday March 7th - 5:30, 7:15 and 9:00 p.m.
Directed by Richard E. Robbins - Rated NR - 81 minutes

“Though it exists neither to boost nor defy the war in Iraq, Operation Homecoming is not without
political objective. Drawing inspiration from a project by the National Endowment for the Arts, this
unique documentary experience is predicated on the notion that we have underestimated the intellect
of our troops. Director Richard E. Robbins interviews men and women of the armed forces, intercutting
their recollections of combat with arresting visual articulations of their personal literature... These
stories of heartache, confusion, and anger combine to form a gallery of art that illuminates the
conundrums of warfare and testifies to the philosophical instincts of the American soldier.”
- Ed Gonzalez, Village Voice

La Vie En Rose
• Winner for Best Actress & Best Makeup •
Saturday March 8th - 4:00, 6:45 & 9:30 p.m.
Directed by Olivier Dahan - Rated PG-13 - 141 minutes

Marion Cottilard won the 2008 Academy Award for Best Actress in this biographical masterpiece of
famed French singer Edith Piaf.

“How do you tell the true story of a mythical woman? In epic proportions, of course. Co-writer/director
Dahan explores the majestic life of iconic French singer Edith Piaf in this sprawling biopic. Liberally
mixing legend with fact, the film travels through five decades (from the 1920s to the 1960s) of Piaf’s
life and career... Ultimately, the film rests on her (Cottilard) performance. And there’s no better
homage to a woman who lived for every time she stepped onto stage.” - Toddy Burton, Austin Chronicle
