City of Gold 2016 - Trailer

In this richly penetrating documentary odyssey, Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold shows us a Los Angeles where ethnic cooking is a kaleidoscopic portal to the mysteries of an unwieldy city and the soul of America. Combing through colorful neighborhoods in his green pickup truck, Gold is sniffing out his next strip-mall discovery—whether Oaxacan grasshopper soup, hand-cut tonkotsu ramen, or a particularly unctuous pad see ew. As piping-hot platters are served up, so are stories of immigrants whose secret family recipes are like sacred offerings pledged for the opportunity to build their American Dream. With eternal curiosity, razor-sharp intellect, and existential longing, Gold is a culinary geographer taking us where no critic has gone before.

Noma: My Perfect Storm 2015 - Trailer

With automatic access to genius, Noma: My Perfect Storm is a creative journey into the unique mind of René Redzepi. How did Redzepi manage to revolutionize the entire world of gastronomy, inventing the alphabet and vocabulary that would infuse newfound pedigree to Nordic cuisine and establish a new edible world while radically changing the image of the modern chef? His story has the feel of a classic fairy tale: the ugly duckling transformed into a majestic swan, who now reigns over the realm of modern gourmet cuisine. But beneath the polished surface, cracks appear in the form of old wounds. 2013 stands as the worst year in René Redzepi's career. We follow him as he fights his way back to the top, reinventing NOMA and reclaiming the title of best restaurant in the world in 2014 for the fourth time.

Hot Water 2015 - Trailer

Filmmakers Liz Rogers and Kevin Flint go to South Dakota following a story on uranium contamination only to discover that the problem flows much farther than they imagined. Our nuclear legacy began with uranium. From "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" to "Duck and Cover," we believed it was safe to eat, drink and breathe in the shadow of the Atomic Bomb. The subsequent health and environmental damage will take generations, and in some cases thousands of years to heal. Our ground water, wells, drinking water, air and soil are contaminated with some of the most toxic heavy metals known to man—and yet we still have no firm plan in place for the storage of tons of nuclear materials we produce every year.

Song of Lahore 2015 - Trailer

In 2004, musician Izzat Majeed founded Sachal Studios to create a space for traditional music in a nation that had rejected its musical roots. Sharia law had decimated Pakistani orchestras in the late 1970s, and yet the Sachal musicians remain committed to revitalizing the customs of their forefathers. After several largely unnoticed classical and folk album releases, the group produces a record combining South Asian improvisation with jazz. One track in particular, a cover of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five," becomes a runaway hit, and Sachal find themselves presented with the opportunity of a lifetime—the chance to perform live with Wynton Marsalis at Lincoln Center. As Obaid-Chinoy and Schocken's camera follows the musicians around New York, they intimately capture both the challenges and joys of this Eastern and Western musical fusion, culminating in virtuosic concert footage of Sachal and Marsalis's unprecedented collaboration.

The Pearl Button 2015 - Trailer

The ocean contains the history of all humanity. The sea holds the voices of the Earth and those that come from outer space. Water receives impetus from the stars and transmits it to living creatures.

Chile, with its 2,670 miles of coastline, the largest archipelago in the world, presents a supernatural landscape. In it are volcanoes, mountains and glaciers. In it are the voices of the Patagonian indigenous people, of the first English sailors and also those of its political prisoners. Some say that water has memory.

Janis: Little Girl Blue 2015 - Trailer

Janis Joplin is one of the most revered and iconic rock & roll singers of all time, a tragic and misunderstood figure who thrilled millions of listeners and blazed new creative trails before her death in 1971 at age 27. With “Janis: Little Girl Blue,” Oscar-nominated director Amy Berg (“Deliver Us from Evil,” “West of Memphis”) examines Joplin’s story in depth for the first time on film, presenting an intimate and insightful portrait of a complicated, driven, often beleaguered artist. Joplin’s own words tell much of the film’s story through a series of letters she wrote to her parents over the years, many of them made public here for the first time (and read by Southern-born indie rock star/actor Chan Marshall, also known as Cat Power). Joplin was a powerhouse when she sang, and her meteoric rise and untimely demise changed music forever.

The Man Who Saved the World 2015 - Trailer


On September 26, 1983, an alarm sounded to indicate that American missiles had been launched against the Soviet Union. Incredibly, Russian Lt. Colonel Stanislav Petrov defied direct orders to counter attack and ignored what his state of the art warning systems were telling him; he followed his gut and declared a false alarm, thus spared the world a nuclear holocaust. Two decades later, this forgotten hero travels to the U.S. to accept an award from the United Nations and finally receives acknowledgement for his historical deed. But Petrov is more interested in meeting actors Robert De Niro and Kevin Costner than accepting awards. Through accurate and compelling reenactments of actual events, this historical thriller and personal redemption story reminds us how close we came to World War III, billions of lives lost and likely the complete extinction of the human race.
