MISS JUNETEENTH
“Imbued with a lovely sense of place and community… observed with a keen eye for the small details of ordinary lives that elevates the material.” – Hollywood Reporter
ELLA FITZGERALD: JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS
“There’s a lot to say about Ella Fitzgerald that goes beyond the stock superlatives. And happily, Just One of Those Things… begins to address the lack of attention accorded Ella as a subject worthy of thoughtful chronicle.” – Jazz Journal
DRIVEWAYS
“There can be a very fine line between a movie that is delicate and understated and a movie that is lazy and undernourished. Ahn is slowly perfecting the former.” – Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine
FOURTEEN
“Life is a series of accumulations, and Fourteen is smart about how friendships can, in a strange way, deepen even as they dissolve.” – AV Club
ALL TITLES
AND THEN WE DANCED
“Part political rebellion, part masterpiece romance, and a true privilege to witness.” – Taryn Allen, Chicago Reader
BACURAU
“Critic’s Pick! “A heart-thumping political allegory that tips its hat to masters like John Carpenter.”
– Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
BEYOND THE VISIBLE: HILMA AF KLINT
“One of the best films I’ve seen about fine art. It casts an entrancing spell that allows the staggering depth of its subject’s work to consume us.” – Matt Fagerholm, RogerEbert.com
THE BOOKSELLERS
“THE BOOKSELLERS is a documentary for anyone who can still look at a book and see a dream, a magic teleportation device, an object that contains the world.”– VARIETY
DIANA KENNEDY: NOTHING FANCY
“A candid, frank, and comprehensive whirlwind tour through the life and work of one of the world’s most celebrated (and uncompromising) chefs.” – The Gate
THE INFILTRATORS
“Despite all its importance this is, at its core, almost a popcorn movie.” – Evan Saathoff, Birth Movies Death
NEW FRENCH SHORTS 2020
This showcase of some of the most exciting new cinematic voices from France runs the gamut from animation to romance to absurdist comedy.
NOTHIN' NO BETTER
A series of cinematic portraits, each a glimpse into the life and perspectives of a different member of the Mississippi Delta community of Rosedale.
SLAY THE DRAGON
“SLAY THE DRAGON is the most important political film of the year, and it may prove to be one of the key political films of the decade.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety
TOMMASO
A gripping look at the process of escaping to a better life, only to find that the old one follows along at every turn… Manages to feel rough and risky while somehow sensitive at the same time, like the best of them.” – Eric Kohn, Indiewire
UP FROM THE STREETS: NEW ORLEANS: THE CITY OF MUSIC
“A savory gumbo of uniquely American ingredients – jazz, blues, soul, rock ‘n’ roll, gospel, funk, hip-hop – generously seasoned with love and respect for the largely African-American artists who forged that heritage over the past three centuries.” – Austin Chronicle
VITALINA VARELA
“A ravishing masterpiece. The mystery and wonder of Pedro Costa’s filmmaking defies any specific category… Gorgeous. Transcendent.” — Eric Kohn, Indiewire
