'Beyond The Call' Comes To The Capri
by
Bob Carlton -- Birmingham News
Friday October 10, 2008, 2:00 AM
Montgomery's Capri Theatre will host a special screening of producer-director Adrian Belic's award-winning documentary "Beyond the Call" Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
Belic also will be on hand to talk about his film following the screening, which is will be shown as part of the Capri's Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers.
The documentary follows three middle-aged men whose idea of adventure is taking desperately needed food and medicine into the world's most forbidding places, often at the front lines of war. Their motto is "High Adventure and Service to Humanity."
"Beyond the Call" has played more than 100 film festivals on five continents and earned 35 awards, including the Washington D.C. International Film Festival Audience Award, the Telluride Mountain Film Festival Grand Jury Prize and the Palm Springs International Film Festival Best of Festival Award.
A University of Southern California graduate, Balic is a member of the Film Arts Foundation and the International Documentary Association.
Tickets to "Beyond the Call" are $5 for Capri members and $7 for non-members.

Because this couple -- and that's Norah with an H, thank you -- are not a pair of art-deco detectives, but a couple of alt-rock high-school seniors. And the only mystery their movie is concerned with is whether or not they can find true, hip happiness together.

Like their home state of Alabama, the Trawicks are slam - full of oddities, idiocy, contradictions, traditions, and rednecks. In pursuit of McAndrews and the city championship, JD and company are opposed by the dastardly Cletus Yoates and his henchman Bart, who will stop at nothing to destroy the Trawick family, business, and football legacy. Along the way, the Trawicks discover the hidden and absurd underbelly of the South - and punch it.

"In 1999, Governor George W. Bush buys a ranch in Crawford, Texas and calls it "home"; an insular community explodes overnight. Bush soon declares candidacy for President and months later, he thrusts the town of 705 into the spotlight as his token symbol - the President's "Western White House." Left to deal with the aftermath are the real people of Crawford. Their lives are changed forever. And their story is our own."
