“This is a film with the richness of great fiction.” -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

MILES AHEAD: Last Day Thursday, June 2nd

Watch Trailer Director: Don Cheadle
Writer(s): Steven Baigelman and Don Cheadle
Cast: Don Cheadle, Emayatzy Corinealdi and Ewan McGregor

MILES AHEAD is not just about the music. It’s about what we all face at one time or another in our lives; questions about who we really are, what we have to say and how will we say it. How will we ultimately be defined and who gets to say so?

“…arguably the best performance of his [Cheadle’s] decades-long career.” – Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

“Cheadle…absolutely inhabits the trumpeter. The heavy-lidded eyes, the long papery fingers, the tobacco-scoured voice — everything about him is authentic.” – Stephen Whitty, New York Daily News

VICTORIA: Last Day Thursday, December 3rd

Watch Trailer Director: Sebastian Schipper
Writer(s): Olivia Neergaard-Holm, Sebastian Schipper
Cast: Laia Costa, Frederick Lau, Franz Rogowski
Awards: 2015 German Film Award Wins: Best Film, Director, Lead Actress, Lead Actor, Cinematography, & Film Score
Language: German, English, Spanish

This film is not a movie about a bank robbery. It is a bank robbery. “Victoria” was shot in one single take. Two hours and eighteen minutes. No cuts, no CGI, no cheap tricks, and no expensive ones, either. Just one shot. Victoria, a young woman from Madrid, meets four local Berliners outside a nightclub. Sonne and his friends promise to show her a good time and the real side of the city. But these lads have gotten themselves into hot water: they owe someone a dangerous favor that requires repaying that evening. As Victoria’s flirtation with Sonne deepens into something more, he convinces her to come along for the ride. And later, when things become more ominous and possibly lethally dangerous for Sonne, she insists on coming along. As the night takes on an ever more menacing character, what started out as a good time, quickly spirals out of control. As dawn approaches, Victoria and Sonne address the inevitable: it’s all or nothing and they abandon themselves to a heart-stopping race into the depths of hell.

“This terrifying, seductive and adrenaline-fueled movie has found a new form of freedom for cinema.”-Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com

“With no cutaways, the film’s story and the momentum of the unlikely robbers seems as unstoppable as the camera. The characters are confused, adrenalinized and breathless, as are you.” -Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail

“A mad, handheld feat of propulsive movie bravado.”-Lisa Schwarzbaum, TIME Magazine
