Peter and Vandy
A nonlinear narrative, challenging jump cuts and masterful editing distinguish filmmaker Jay DiPietro's intriguing romantic comedy about two young New Yorkers: Vandy (Jess Weixler), a pretty and composed art gallery worker and Peter (Jason Ritter), an insecure architect. As DiPietro's shuffling cinematic steam of consciousness reveals, Peter and Vandy's relationship encompasses breakups, reconciliations and even an inane squabble about how to spread peanut butter on bread. "Lovely to look at and beautifully acted" - New York Times. (2009)

My Year Without Sex
Australian filmmaker Sarah Watt (LOOK BOTH WAYS) presents a sharp and witty metaphysical film about a working-class family whose life is upended when the mother is diagnosed with an aneurysm and told to avoid all stress - including sex. For Natalie (Sacha Horler) and her husband (Matt Day), relinquishing connubial obligations are only a tiny piece of a challenging year, with job prospects, mortgage obligations, vet bills, nits and questions of faith competing for attention. “A gem of a film … wonderfully observed” - Urban Cinefile.

To make matters worse, his latest assignment is to interview smug Thierry Grimandi (soccer player Eric Cantona), France's auteur of cinematic romance. "Brings together the best elements of Richard Curtis' London movies and Nora Ephron's romantic comedies, with a strong whiff of Woody Allen" - The Observer.

Kool: Dancing In My Mind
A visually stunning and moving tribute from legendary theater director Robert Wilson to his long-time collaborator, Japanese choreographer and performer Suzushi Hanaygi. Filmmaker Richard Rutkowski follows Wilson to Osaka, where he finds Hanayagi in the advanced stages of dementia, confined to a wheel chair and barely able to remember her tremendous stage career. A treasured creative partner for over 20 years - beginning with the Wilson/David Byrne collaboration The Knee Plays in 1984 - Hanayagi was a major influence on Bob Wilson, who called her simply "my teacher." Determined to create a new work with her, Wilson employs elegant video portraits of Suzushi, visually exquisite archival imagery, and recreations of her work with fellow dancer Carla Blank to create a performance-portrait for premiere at the Guggenheim Museum. Sensitive in its observations of aging in the arts, this film witnesses the process of letting go and the transition of a life from vibrancy to legacy.

Fur: An Imaginary Portrait...
Nicole Kidman stars in this "strangely poetic" (Los Angeles Times) independent feature from filmmaker Steven Shainberg and writer Erin Cressida Wilson (SECRETARY) - an audacious fable about the inner life of photographer Diane Arbus. Shainberg and Wilson venture away from the known facts of Arbus's life to propose a fetishistic fantasy in which the fledgling photographer befriends a furry neighbor (Robert Downey Jr.), a pairing that ignites Arbus's inner muse and liberates her to create the disturbing and iconic images for which she is famed.

Waltz With Bashir
Filmmaker Ari Folman's audacious and devastating documentary employs the freedom offered by animation to explore the untrustworthiness of memory, as he reconstructs his experience as an Israeli soldier during the 1982 Lebanon War. Troubled by an inability to vividly recall some of his experience, Folman confers with other veterans to piece together a narrative that is part memory collage, part nightmare and part history lesson. Oscar® Nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. "Personal filmmaking of the highest order" - Chicago Tribune. (2008)
