Headspace: The Sound of Life

Director: Jethro Senger

Joining our Music on Film week, HEADSPACE,  an 85-minute documentary brought to you by local filmmakers, was filmed in ten countries over the course of three years and brings us to the mystical land of electronic music parties and the people creating them. The film is a multi-sensory journey stemming from years of dance music evolution, delivering the stories of those encapsulated by the scene. A cosmic voyage filled with superstar and underground DJ’s, side-trips with characters of the night, and a sound track comprised of over 20 top electronic musicians will open your soul as a dedicated search for the party will explain why the sounds have captured the global heart.

To director/producer Jethro Senger, this is a careful ethnography, a detailed survey of a distinct culture in an effort to explain the massive attraction to this music. His pursuit was the “headspace,” the place in the mind where one finds the answer to why this movement has been so magnetizing, and to capture the youth spirit inside of us all. His was not to provide answers, merely to ask the required questions to get a definite picture of the dance music culture, create a journey for those who weren’t there and memories for those who were.

Arbitrage

Watch Trailer Director: Nicholas Jarecki
Writer(s): Nicholas Jarecki
Cast: Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Brit Marling

Arbitrage, the feature directorial debut of writer Nicholas Jarecki, is a taut and alluring suspense thriller about love, loyalty, and high finance. When we first meet New York hedge-fund magnate Robert Miller (Richard Gere) on the eve of his 60th birthday, he appears the very portrait of success in American business and family life. But behind the gilded walls of his mansion, Miller is in over his head, desperately trying to complete the sale of his trading empire to a major bank before the depths of his fraud are revealed. Struggling to conceal his duplicity from loyal wife Ellen (Susan Sarandon) and brilliant daughter and heir-apparent Brooke (Brit Marling), Miller’s also balancing an affair with French art-dealer Julie Côte (Laetitia Casta). Just as he’s about to unload his troubled empire, an unexpected bloody error forces him to juggle family, business, and crime with the aid of Jimmy Grant (Nate Parker), a face from Miller’s past. One wrong turn ignites the suspicions of NYPD Detective Michael Bryer (Tim Roth), who will stop at nothing in his pursuits.  Running on borrowed time, Miller is forced to confront the limits of even his own moral duplicity. Will he make it out before the bubble bursts?

*The 7:20 screening of Arbitrage will be canceled on Friday, November 2nd*
