Opening Night Film WORDS AND PICTURES (USA) Presented by the Arthur E. Benjamin Foundation and Sheri Deterling and Geoff Hawkes DIRECTOR: Fred Schepisi Cast: Clive Owen, Juliette Binoche An art instructor and an English teacher form a rivalry that ends up with a competition at their school in which students decide whether words or pictures are more important. Centerpiece Films BELIEVE ME (WORLD PREMIERE) (USA) DIRECTOR: Will Bakke Cast: Nick Offerman, Johanna Braddy, Christopher McDonald When Sam Weller convinces his fellow college seniors that they should create a fake Christian charity as a means to drum up tuition money, the boys find themselves thrust into an unexpected religious revival, where impassioned believers take in their every word. In the hands of some of television’s brightest stars, BELIEVE ME is a clever satire that winds up divinely redemptive. HEAVEN IS FOR REAL (USA) (World Premiere) DIRECTOR: Randall Wallace Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same name, HEAVEN IS FOR REAL brings to the screen the true story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son’s extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world. The film stars Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® award winning actor Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) claims to have visited Heaven during a near death experience. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth … things he couldn’t possibly know. Todd and his family are then challenged to examine the meaning from this remarkable event. ABOUT THE DALLAS FILM SOCIETY The Dallas Film Society celebrates films and their impact on society.
