Men, Women & Children
Twin Cities Film Fest (TCFF) announced what they describe as a captivating and thrilling lineup of films for their 2014 festival, to be held October 16-25 at Kerasotes ShowPlace ICON at The Shops at West End in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Festival begins with the Jason Reitman directed dramedy Men, Women & Children, which will open the festival Thursday night. Minnesotan filmmakers will again be featured among award contenders, including 2014 TCFF Centerpiece film Hunger in America produced by Minneapolis’ own Tim VandeSteeg and narrated by James Denton. VandeSteeg and Denton will appear at the special benefit with partial proceeds being donated to the St. Louis Park Foodshelf, an organization battling hunger in the Twin Cities Community.
Other highly anticipated films include the hit comedy from the Los Angeles Film Festival, The Last Time You Had Fun starring Demetri Martin and Eliza Coupe; V/H/S: Viral, the third film in the hit found footage horror trilogy; and The Heart Machine, the haunting and intricate romantic mystery that had audiences at South by Southwest talking.
The final days of the festival will feature two critically-acclaimed films, The Imitation Game on October 24 and Wild onOctober 25. The Imitation Game stars Benedict Cummerbatch as Alan Turing, the genius British mathematician, logician, cryptologist and computer scientist who led the charge to crack the German Enigma Code that helped the Allies win WWII. The film recently took home the top prize at the Toronto International Film Festival, immediately positioning it as an awards season frontrunner. Wild, based on the NY Times bestselling book by Minnesota native Cheryl Strayed, stars Reese Witherspoon.
Closing the festival will be Time Lapse, the ingenious and tantalizing story about a camera that takes photos 24 hours in the future which has already won the coveted audience award at the Fantaspoa International Film Festival.
