24 OPENING NIGHT The 31st Cleveland International Film Festival THURSDAY, MARCH 15 OPENING NIGHT GALA Swedish Auto Directed by Derek Sieg USA 2006 97 minutes Thursday, March 15 7:00 PM I Code SWED15 ONE SCREENING ONLY In Derek Sieg’s screenwriting and directorial debut SWEDISH AUTO, “you can smell the break fluid and the grease, and at the same time be swept up by the romance.” — Variety. TIME WARNER CABLE AMERICAN INDIES LOCAL HEROES Local Hero Tyler Davidson (“The Year That Trembled” 26th CIFF and 2002 Midwest Independent Filmmaker of the Year) produces this entrancing drama. In the opening sequence, Carter (Lukas Haas) impassively gazes at his surroundings through the windshield of a broken-down Volvo. An orphan with few friends, Carter rarely interacts with the world around him. He spends his days working as a mechanic at Leroy’s Swedish Auto Shop, fixing cars that he never drives. He spends his nights roaming the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, watching people to whom he never talks. His co-workers Leroy and Bobby encourage Carter to do something with other people, but little interests Carter besides obsessively but innocently stalking the beautiful, talented violinist Ann Shelton. Carter’s days remain indistinguishable and monotonous until he discovers he too is being watched. As he develops a relationship with the endearing but troubled waitress Darla (January Jones), Carter must decide whether he will continue to be a bystander to life or experience it firsthand. The subtly precise acting against the backdrop of heartbreakingly beautiful sound, music, and cinematography promises triumph in Sieg’s first film. —E.J.B.

The film begins with Lily, a hopeless romantic, spending her days working at a fast-food restaurant trying to get Jarrod to notice her. Jarrod may be the man of Lily’s dreams, but clearly he is no prize. Apart from being the undefeated champion among his friends in oneon-one video games, he hasn’t accomplished much of anything. His main focus in life is plotting revenge against a bully from high school. When Lily dresses as a shark and Jarrod (dressed as an eagle) finally connect at his “dress as your favorite animal” party, it may seem to be a match made in misfit heaven. Unfortunately, Jarrod has no time for a girlfriend since he’s too busy “training” for his upcoming payback. As the scheduled day of reckoning arrives, Jarrod and Lily find something that goes beyond romantic fantasies and revenge—faith in who they truly are. —W.F.G.
