When technophile Sarah Sparks (Anna Margaret Hollyman) becomes pregnant, her uncertainties about motherhood trigger an impulsive road trip to the source of her anxiety: her long-estranged mother living far away and off-the-grid. A SXSW premiere and winner of the Sloan Feature Film Prize, Annie J. Howell and Lisa Robinson co-direct this comic coming-of-parenthood tale for the internet age.
Annie J. Howell is a screenwriter and director. Her first film, co-written and co-directed with Lisa Robinson, SMALL, BEAUTIFULLY MOVING PARTS (starring Anna Margaret Hollyman), premiered at SXSW in 2011 and went on to play over thirty festivals, including the Hamptons, Mill Valley, Denver, and RiverRun. The film received the Sloan Feature Film Prize, presented at the Hamptons, and the Audience Award at RiverRun, and went on to play in art house theaters across the nation to positive reviews from Variety, Huffington Post and NPR.

Biography provided by Steenson’s official website:
“I’m Molly Wright Steenson and I’m a designer, writer, speaker, and professor whose work focuses on the intersection and implications of design, architecture, and artificial intelligence. I’m the author of Architectural Intelligence: How Designers and Architects Created the Digital Landscape (MIT Press, 2017), which examines architecture’s interactions with computation, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence.
My book Architectural Intelligence is an architectural history of digital design and a digital history of architecture, with deep case studies on the work of Christopher Alexander, Richard Saul Wurman, Nicholas Negroponte, and Cedric Price, and the ways that their work influenced the development of contemporary digital design practices, including information architecture and interaction design. My second book Bauhaus Futures, co-edited with Laura Forlano and Mike Ananny, is a collection about what would keep the Bauhaus up at night if it were around today, and will appear in 2019. Both books are on MIT Press.”

Cast: Al Pacino, Alan Arkin and Christopher Walken
Val (Al Pacino) is released from prison after serving twenty-eight years for refusing to give up one of his close criminal associates. His best friend Doc (Christopher Walken) is there to pick him up, and the two soon re-team with another old pal, Hirsch (Alan Arkin). Their bond is as strong as ever, and the three reflect on freedom lost and gained, loyalties ebbed and flowed, and days of glory gone by. But one of the friends is keeping a dangerous secret- he’s been put in an impossible quandary by a former mob boss, and his time to find an acceptable alternative is running out. As the sun rises on the guys’ legendary reunion, their position becomes more and more desperate and they finally confront their past once and for all.

Director: Dave Grohl
Writer(s): Mark Monroe
Cast: Trent Reznor, Tom Petty, Mick Fleetwood
Deep in the San Fernando Valley, amidst rows of dilapidated warehouses, was rock n’ roll’s best kept secret: Sound City. America’s greatest unsung recording studio housed a one-of-a-kind console, and as its legend grew, seminal bands and artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Metallica and Nirvana all came out to put magic to tape. Directed by Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) and featuring interviews and performances from the iconic musicians who recorded some of rock’s greatest albums at the studio, Sound City doesn’t just tell the story of this real-life rock ‘n’ roll shrine, it celebrates the human element of music as Grohl gathers some of rock’s biggest artists to collaborate on a new album. Using Sound City’s legendary analog console, together these artists continue to create musical miracles in a digital world.
“High-spirited, emotional and funny, “Sound City” is, of all things, a mash note to a machine. Not just any machine, however, but one that helped change the face of rock ‘n’ roll.”-Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Awards: Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress Maggie Smith
Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, it’s a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred Bond (Billy Connolly) and Cecily Robson (Pauline Collins) this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home. But they’re in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham House’s gala concert?
“Quartet shows us how art illuminates our lives, and shows us artists and performers who can still, after all these years, do some illuminating.”-Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
