OPENING NIGHT PARTY starts at 6:30pm, CASTRO,
and the film SOPHIE SCHOLL - THE FINAL DAYS starts at 8pm, CASTRO.
Munich, 1943. As Hitler wages a devastating war in Europe, a group of  
young men, mostly university students, choose passive resistance as  
their way to cripple the Nazis and their inhuman war machine. Sophie  
Scholl joins TheWhite Rose, as the group came to be known, as an  
innocent young woman who matures into a committed and fearless anti- 
Nazi. On 18 February 1943, Sophie and her brother Hans are caught  
distributing leaflets at the university and arrested. Over the next  
few days, Sophie's interrogation by the Gestapo officer Mohr evolves  
into an intense psychological duel. She lies and denies, schemes and  
lays down arms only to regroup and resist with greater determination.  
Unable to counter the crushing evidence, she confesses, but  
desperately tries to protect her brother and other White Rose  
members. Moved by Sophie's uncommon bravery, Mohr offers her a way  
out - but at the price of betraying her ideals. She refuses, sealing  
her fate. - Jentsch's performance of a lifetime won her several  
prestigious awards.
After the film: Q&A with director Marc Rothemund

Co-presented by SAN FRANCISCO JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
