(New York, NY)--Summer is here and LVT-New York is pleased to call your attention to the following films that are on screen now (or coming soon):

* SERAPHINE directed by Martin Provost Winner of seven "Cesars" (the French "Oscar"), including best film, SERAPHINE brings to life Seraphine de Senlis, the visionary painter from the early 20th Century. "The film's energies are devoted, for the most part, not to dissecting childhood traumas or recirculating stale cultural gossip, but rather to examining the alchemy by which perception is transformed into vision." - A. O. Scott, New York Times

* UNMISTAKEN CHILD directed by Nati Baratz The Buddhist concept of reincarnation, while both mysterious and enchanting, is hard for most Westerners to grasp. UNMISTAKEN CHILD follows the 4-year search for the reincarnation of Lama Konchog, a world-renowned Tibetan master who passed away in 2001 at age 84. The Dalai Lama charges the deceased monk's devoted disciple, Tenzin Zopa (who had been in his service since the age of seven), to search for his master's reincarnation. Stunningly shot, UNMISTAKEN CHILD is a beguiling, surprising, touching, even humorous experience.

* VALENTINO: The Last Emperor directed by Matt Tyrnauer The luxe, rara avis world of the Italian couturier and fashion designer fused with wit and self-deprecating humor. The film captures the deep-seated relationship of two men, one a business genius and one a dressmaker, who swept through the Sixties on the hems of delicate, feminine suits and fine evening dresses, favorites of Jackie O. and Elizabeth Taylor. "Tyrnauer takes a difficult subject --- a fashion brand and its founders --- and tells the story of how fashion as art has to bend to the winds of commerce and modernity." - Andre Leon Talley, Vogue

* THE LEGEND OF PALE MALE directed by Frederic Lilien Selected for the upcoming Cinemonde Soiree #5 on Wednesday, June 24, this remarkable documentary is the true account of one of the most surprising love stories in the history of New York. It begins in 1993, when a young man from Belgium, Frederic Lilien, looking to change his life, meets a hawk in Central Park. Not just any hawk, but a wild Redtail, a fierce predator that has not lived in the City for almost a hundred years. Compelled to follow this extraordinary creature, he buys a video camera and sets out on the impossible task of tracking the bird. Little does he know that the journey will take him sixteen years and lead him down many trails of life, death, birth, hope, and redemption. Affectionately known as Pale Male, the hawk becomes a magnificent obsession, a metaphor for triumph against all odds.
