Jinsei.jpeg

Our hero (voiced by rapper ACE COOL), called by a different name in each chapter of his life, becomes a J-pop idol, an outcast, a leader, and an oracle in this hundred-year chronicle spanning the past, present, and future. Through a chance encounter with a transfer
student, he trains to become an idol, starting his search for self-identity and a journey toward greatness beyond superstardom. Written, directed, edited and entirely hand-drawn by newcomer Ryuya Suzuki over eighteen months, JINSEI (meaning "life" in Japanese) is an anime tour-de-force that announces Suzuki to the world as a bold new talent in independent animation.

Time and Water.jpg

From the Director of FIRE OF LOVE.

Renowned Icelandic poet and author, Andri Snær Magnason, is chasing something elusive. As the glacial ice of his homeland melts, he constructs a cinematic time capsule to hold onto this moment and send it to the future, before everything he loves slips away. Using his own collected archives, his grandparents’ photographs and films as well as traditional songs and folktales, Andri interlaces his family’s story with that of the land around him. From Academy Award®-nominated director Sara Dosa, TIME AND WATER is a universal reflection on the power of home and what it means to be alive amid profound epochal change.

30th Anniversary 4K Restoration!

 

One of the great indie debuts of the 90s, Harron’s curiously moving portrait of the notorious Valerie Solanas (a note-perfect Lili Taylor) captures the outsider feminist revolutionary infamous for her S.C.U.M. Manifesto (an acronym for The Society for Cutting Up Men) and her attempted assassination of the king of Pop Art. With Jared Harris, Martha Plimpton, Michael Imperioli and, as Candy Darling, Stephen Dorff.

 

Valerie Solanas (Lili Taylor) is an aspiring writer who moves to NewYork City and supports herself with prostitution. Valerie meets
controversial artist Andy Warhol (Jared Harris) and a host of other eccentrics in the New York art scene. While a book publisher wants Valerie to write a sexually explicit novel, Valerie sets out to convince Warhol to produce her play "Up Your Ass." Based on a true story, the film follows Valerie's journey from ambitious author to obsessed, delusional assassin.

Maddies Secret.jpg

Comedian, writer, and actor John Early's critically acclaimed directorial debut starring himself as Maddie, a plucky dishwasher who leaps to viral superstardom at a trendy food content creation company. While her life seems picturesque -- complete with an adoring husband (Eric Rahill), ride-or-die best friend (Kate Berlant) and a cupboard full of woman-owned ethically-sourced chili crisp to boot -- mounting professional pressures threaten to reawaken a hidden secret from her troubled past. A pitch-perfect blend of satire, melodrama, daring tonal shifts and intimate performances, the film marks a bold new voice in contemporary cinema.
