OTHER MUSIC
Other Music was an influential and uncompromising New York City record store that was vital to the city’s early 2000s indie music scene. But when the store is forced to close its doors due to rent increases, the homogenization of urban culture, and the shift from CDs to downloadable and streaming music, a cultural landmark is lost. Through vibrant storytelling, this documentary captures the record store’s vital role in the musical and cultural life of the city, and highlights the artists whose careers it helped launch. Watch the trailer.

CRESCENDO
When world-famous conductor Eduard Sporck accepts the task of creating an Israeli-Palestinian youth orchestra, he is quickly drawn into a tempest of unsolvable problems. Having grown up in a state of war, suppression, and the constant risk of terror attacks, the young musicians on both sides are far from able to form a team. Will Sporck succeed and make the young people forget their hatred, at least for the three weeks until the concert? Watch the trailer.

UP FROM THE STREETS
The documentary is Michael Murphy's omnibus celebration of the music that shaped the culture of New Orleans.

CORPUS CHRISTI
Corpus Christi is the story of 20-year-old Daniel who experiences a spiritual transformation while living in a youth detention center.

DRIVEWAYS
Cody is a sweet, sensitive boy who doesn't always fit in easily with other kids his age.

AND THEN WE DANCED
A passionate tale of love and liberation set amidst the ultraconservative confines of modern Georgian society, the film follows Merab, a devoted dancer who has been training for years with his partner Mary for a spot in the National Georgian Ensemble.

Watch the trailer.

BOOKSELLERS
Antiquarian booksellers are part scholar, part detective, and part businessperson, and their personalities and knowledge are as broad as the material they handle.

SAINT FRANCES
Flailing 34-year-old Bridget finally catches a break when she meets a nice guy and lands a much-needed job nannying six-year-old Frances.
