David Crosby: Remember My Named: a.J. eaton | 2019 | usa | 95 min

You thought you knew him. In his late 70s and still helplessly hoping, legendary folk rocker David Crosby (The Byrds, Crosby, Stills & Nash) looks back at his entire life and career, from the highest highs to the lowest lows. Opening up on his childhood, numerous love affairs, and the many excesses he lived through in the 1960s, the endlessly charismatic troubadour bares all in this candid Sundance 2019 portrait produced by Cameron Crowe. Full of unbelievable stories from the heyday of rock and roll—including one about getting dumped by Joni Mitchell—Crosby’s honesty is outmatched only by his still-burning passion for music and standing up for love and freedom.

Pavarottid: ron Howard | 2019 | usa, uK | 104 min

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard orchestrates a riveting portrait of one of the most legendary singers ever with Pavarotti. An icon whose inimitable voice brought opera to new heights, Luciano Pavarotti sold more than 100 million albums—including The Three Tenors, the best-selling classical release of all time. Full of stunning performance footage from throughout the late tenor’s career (bolstered by Dolby Atmos technology)—and interviews with family, friends, and admirers, including Spike Lee, Bono, and Stevie Wonder—this delightful tribute sheds new light on the larger-than-life man behind the music.


Leaving Home, Coming Home: A Portrait of Robert Frank d: gerald Fox | 2004 | uK | 85 min

Get to know legendary photographer Robert Frank in this previously unreleased portrait of one of the 20th century’s most significant image-makers. Celebrated for his then-controversial but now-classic 1958 book, The Americans, and his ties to Beat poets Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, the typically unforthcoming Swiss-born artist opens up on his life and visual practice, as well as the profound themes of loneliness and loss that have underpinned his work. Told from the perspectives of New York and Frank’s home in coastal Nova Scotia alongside his wife, June Leaf, Leaving Home, Coming Home is an invaluable foray inside the personal and creative worlds of a reluctant icon who finally puts himself in the frame.


Mike Wallace is Hered: avi Belkin | 2019 | usa | 94 min

Nominated, Grand Jury Prize—Sundance Film Festival 2019

Mike Wallace made a career out of hard-hitting questions as one of the original correspondents on 60 Minutes where he interviewed politicians and famous figures over five decades. In a time where journalistic integrity is under the microscope, Wallace’s fearless approach to his job is chronicled in this riveting and detailed Sundance-lauded documentary. Taking on a wide array of subjects, from Vladimir Putin and Malcolm X to Richard Nixon and Barbara Streisand, Mike Wallace is Here carefully studies the rigorous and relentless professionalism of a man who became trusted by the American public by never backing down from asking tough questions.

“A highly personal view of the revered photographer’s career.” – Hollywood Reporter

“While the music was mesmerizing, so was the man” – Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Masterful cinematic biography that unpacks a man’s life through his work.” – The Wrap

Celebrated journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell leads this first cinematic look at the cutting-edge yet elusive world of autonomous vehicles inspired by a breakout issue of Car and Driver magazine. Pushing beyond the technology, the film zooms around the world to see the latest “AV’s” in action and meet the people impacted by this rapidly growing phenomenon. Featuring interviews with industry pioneers that straddle the line between caution and optimism, Autonomy is an essential primer for anyone interested in the future of the automobile and the coming revolution in mobility.

Fiddler: A Miracle of Miraclesd: Max Lewkowicz | 2019 | usa | 92 min

Official Selection—Toronto Jewish Film Festival 2019

Follow the unlikely journey of one of Broadway’s biggest smash hits in this deep and definitive look at Fiddler on the Roof. Combining new interviews and rare performance footage with the sweeping soundtrack of the show’s inimitable score, Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles traces the musical’s creative roots back to early 1960s New York where “traditions” were crumbling and new modes of thinking about race, gender, and religion evolved. Join Lin-Manuel Miranda, Joel Grey, Fran Lebowitz and more as they look at why the story of Tevye the milkman and his family resonates with audiences past and present from Japan and Vienna to Johannesburg and Mexico City.


Celebration d: Olivier Meyrou | 2007 | France | 72 min

Banned after its 2007 premiere and thought to never be seen again, this long-awaited documentary offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at Yves Saint Laurent’s last years of genius at the helm of his iconic fashion house. Following Saint Laurent in the lead up to his landmark final collection, director Olivier Meyrou draws an exquisite portrait of the legendary designer: both larger-than-life, yet astonishingly reclusive and fragile, while revealing his integral relationship with partner Pierre Bergé, who initially suppressed the film’s release. With an influence felt on the Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread, Celebration is an essential addition to the fashion doc canon and an opulent tribute to the last of the great Parisian couturiers.

Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love d: nick Broomfield | 2019 | usa | 102 min

“Laugh and cry and cry and laugh” as you take in the beautiful and troubled 1960s romance of poet and musician Leonard Cohen and his greatest muse, Marianne Ihlen. The two met serendipitously in their twenties on the idyllic Greek island of Hydra, when Leonard was a struggling artist, and continued their affair over the years as he transformed into one of the world’s most renowned songwriters. Through old photos, archival footage, and a few interviews, trace the love story that gifted listeners with songs like “Bird on the Wire” and, of course, “So Long, Marianne.”

The birthplace of the iconic Westside jazz and blues scene, the fabled town of Asbury Park, New Jersey has gone through more than its fair share of ups and downs. Home to major talents like Southside Johnny, Steven Van Zandt, and Bruce Springsteen, whose debut album was called Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J, the once-storied seaside resort erupted in flames during a summer of civil unrest in 1970. After nearly five decades of urban decay, the burning city is ready to rise again.

Holler if you Hear Me: tupac resurrection & the toronto poetry project d: Lauren Lazin | 2003 | usa | 112 min | r

Over 20 years after his death, Tupac Shakur endures as one of hip-hop’s most iconic figures and its most powerful enigma. Guided by the beloved rapper’s own words, the posthumously released, Oscar-nominated Tupac Resurrection helps demystify the charismatic—yet often contradictory—persona of the souljah poet, tracing a life story self-defined by “ambition, violence, redemption, and love.”
