The Atomic Cafe<\/a><\/h3>\n

World Premiere of 4K Restoration, Documentary Feature, 2018<\/em><\/h4>\n

Blaze<\/a><\/h3>\n

Narrative Feature, 2018<\/em><\/h4>\n

Inspired by the life of Texas outlaw musician and Willie Nelson<\/strong> contemporary Blaze Foley<\/strong>, Ethan Hawke<\/strong>\u2019s film is a rich meditation on legacy and creativity.

Blood Fest<\/a><\/h3>\n

World Premiere, Narrative Feature, 2018<\/em><\/h4>\n

Owen Egerton<\/strong>\u2019s debut feature is a knowingly lurid, Grand Guignol trip through a night in slasher hell. It earns its horror stripes in a gleefully gruesome style.<\/p>\n

In Theaters August 18<\/a><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Harvest<\/a><\/h3>\n

World Premiere, Narrative Feature, 2018<\/em><\/h4>\n

A macabre, twisted dive into the depths of desire, Elizabeth Harvest<\/em> stars Carla Gugino<\/strong> and Ciar\u00e1n Hinds<\/strong> in a Hitchcockian mind-warp that’s claustrophobic as it is unpredictable.<\/p>\n

In Theaters and On Demand August 10<\/a><\/p>\n

Half the Picture<\/a><\/h3>\n

Documentary Feature, 2018<\/em><\/h4>\n

Urgent and timely, Half the Picture<\/em> explores and extolls the role of women in filmmaking, from indie to Hollywood, featuring Ava DuVernay<\/strong>, Jill Soloway<\/strong>, Gina Prince-Bythewood<\/strong>, and many more.<\/p>\n

Greener Grass<\/a><\/h3>\n

North American Premiere, Narrative Short, 2016<\/em><\/h4>\n

Now Online<\/a><\/p>\n

The Man From Mo’ Wax<\/a><\/h3>\n

World Premiere, Documentary Feature, 2016<\/em><\/h4>\n

An exhilarating and intimate portrait of visionary artist and Mo\u2019wax innovator James Lavelle<\/strong>, drawing from a rich trove of archival material, and featuring DJ Shadow<\/strong>, Thom Yorke<\/strong> and Grandmaster Flash<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Never Goin’ Back<\/a><\/h3>\n

Narrative Feature, 2018<\/em><\/h4>\n

Punk spirit and millennial hedonism collide in this spikey debut feature from Augustine Frizzell<\/strong>. A blast from start to finish, and keenly reflective of Weird American Life 2018.<\/p>\n

Now In Theaters<\/a><\/p>\n

A Prayer Before Dawn<\/a><\/h3>\n

North American Premiere, Narrative Feature, 2018<\/em><\/h4>\n

Brutal, bleak and cathartic, this classically styled prison thriller features a devastating turn from rising star Joe Cole<\/strong> (Peaky Blinders<\/em>).<\/p>\n

In Theaters August 10<\/a><\/p>\n

Support The Girls<\/a><\/h3>\n

World Premiere, Narrative Feature, 2018<\/em><\/h4>\n

Andrew Bujalski<\/strong>\u2019s latest is as witty and sharply observed as ever. An extraordinary cast led by Regina Hall<\/strong> helps make Support The Girls<\/em> an essential, timely viewing.<\/p>\n
