This captivating doc is an eye-opening journey through wealth and power
—
a
film that interrogates the assumption that accumulation of capital runs hand in hand with social progress.

Todd and Rory are intellectual soul mates. He might be gay. She might not care. Writer-director-star James Sweeney delivers a razor sharp screwball rom-com that’s both Classical Hollywood and distinctly 21st century.

SEASONS
dir. Jacques Perrin, Jacques Cluzaud, 2015
|
After traveling the world alongside migrating birds (WINGED MIGRATION) and diving the oceans with whales and manta rays (OCEANS), directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud return to more familiar ground: the lush green forests and megafauna that emerged across Europe following the last Ice Age. With its exceptional footage of animals in the wild, SEASONS is the awe-inspiring and thought-provoking tale of the long and tumultuous shared history that inextricably binds humankind with the natural world.

A TOWN CALLED PANIC
dir. Stéphane Aubier & Vincent Patar, 2009
|
Hilarious and surreal, the stop-motion extravaganza A TOWN CALLED PANIC has endless charms and raucous laughs for children from eight to eighty. Plastic toys Cowboy and Indian plan to gift their friend Horse a homemade barbeque but they accidentally buy 50 million bricks, setting off a perilously wacky chain of events. The trio travels to the center of the earth, treks across frozen tundra, and discovers a parallel underwater universe of pointy-headed (and dishonest!) creatures.

|
Moomintroll, with the help of his loyal forest companions, embarks on an adventure-filled journey to save the Earth from a ferocious comet and make new friends along the way!
