*Valerio Ciriaci, 2015*

/Montana Premiere /

“If Only I Were That Warrior” focuses on the Italian occupation of 
Ethiopia in 1935. Following the recent construction of a monument 
dedicated to Fascist general Rodolfo Graziani, the film addresses 
unpunished war crimes he and others committed in the name of Mussolini’s 
imperial ambitions. The present day stories of three characters filmed 
in Italy, Ethiopia and the U.S.A. take the audience on a journey through 
the remains and living memories of the Italian colonial venture in Ethiopia.

Chameleon 
<http://www.bigskyfilmfest.org/festival/films-2016-peak/chameleon> - /78 
minutes/

*Ryan Mullins, 2014
*/Montana Premiere /

Anas has been called the James Bond of Ghanaian journalism. He’s exposed 
a sex-trafficking ring by masquerading as a bartender, uncovered 
deplorable conditions in Accra’s psychiatric hospital, posed as a crown 
prince in order to bypass a rebel checkpoint. His unorthodox methods are 
infamous throughout Ghana, but, despite his notoriety, his face is 
unknown to the public. The film takes us behind the scenes of the Tiger 
Eye Investigations Bureau hot on the heels of his next big case.

10:00pm, Crystal, – *Ondi Timoner retrospective concludes!*

- /91 minutes/

*Ondi Timoner, 2009 *

On the 40th anniversary of the Internet, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC tells the 
story of the effect it is having on our society as seen through the eyes 
of the greatest Internet pioneer youve never heard of, visionary Josh 
Harris. Award-winning director, Ondi Timoner (DIG!), documented his 
tumultuous life for more than a decade, to create a riveting, cautionary 
tale of what to expect as the virtual world inevitably takes control of 
our lives.
