UNDER THE MOUNTAIN
U.S. PREMIERE
Based on Maurice Gee's best-selling novel, UNDER THE MOUNTAIN is an exciting
and suspenseful fantasy adventure set amid Auckland's breathtaking natural land-
scape. In this thrilling adaptation by Jonathan King, teenaged twins with a special tal-
ent face off against an ancient evil that lurks beneath the city's ring of dormant volca-
noes. Rachel and Theo are no ordinary twins: they have the ability to communicate
telepathically, which gives them a unique bond. However, following the sudden death
of their mother, this bond begins to weaken. When they are sent to live with their
aunt, uncle and cousin Ricky in Auckland, a rift begins to form between the twins,
with Theo rebuffing all of Rachel's attempts to confront their grief. King has crafted an
exhilarating work that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Alternating chills and
laughter, the film features a strong set of performances from a cast that includes vet-
eran Sam Neill as Mr. Jones. UNDER THE MOUNTAINalso offers sensitive insight
into the importance of co-operation and accepting support in times of crisis. – TIFF

THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS
HAWAII PREMIERE
Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr.
Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr.
Nick, in which he won immortality. Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love,
Dr. Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on
condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become
the property of Mr. Nick. His daughter, Valentina, is now rapidly approaching this
'coming of age' milestone and Dr. Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her
impending fate. In this captivating, explosive and wonderfully imaginative race against
time, Dr. Parnassus must fight to save his daughter in a never-ending landscape of
surreal obstacles - and undo the mistakes of his past once and for all.
