STRAY

Stray explores what it means to live as a being without status or security, following three stray dogs, residents of Istanbul, as they embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society. "CRITIC'S PICK! The filmmaker's eyes may rarely leave the dogs, but what she’s really looking at is us." -The New York Times

from Sweden: ABOUT ENDLESSNESS

No one in the world makes films that look like those of Swedish master absurdist Roy Andersson: intricately designed, photographed, and lit. His dreamlike movies are acclaimed for their deadpan comic timing and the visual inspiration of artists like Otto Dix and Edward Hopper. 

A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence

A pair of hapless novelty salesman take us on a kaleidoscopic tour of the human condition in the new off-kilter comedy by Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson. "Excruciatingly funny and streaked with coal-black humor." --Time Out New York

Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts

The life of a unique American artist, a man with a remarkable and unlikely biography. Bill Traylor was born into slavery in 1853 on a cotton plantation in rural Alabama. After the Civil War, Traylor continued to farm the land as a sharecropper until the late 1920s. Aging and alone, he moved to Montgomery and worked odd jobs in the thriving segregated black neighborhood. A decade later, in his late 80s, Traylor became homeless and started to draw and paint, both memories from plantation days and scenes of a radically changing urban culture.

WOMEN COMPOSERS

Three brilliant women, three untold stories. When Leipzig pianist Kyra Steckeweh realized that her repertoire almost exclusively consisted of music composed by men, she began searching for pieces written by female composers. Her research in archives, libraries, and publishing houses quickly brought to light a variety of remarkable piano pieces that have been buried in history and rarely performed.

from France: THE SALT OF TEARS

Veteran filmmaker Philippe Garrel once again fashions a pinpoint-precise and economical study of young love and its prevarications, which ever so gradually blossoms into an emotionally resonant moral tale.

M.C. Escher: Journey To Infinity

A staircase that leads back to itself; waterworks that move towards and away from the viewer at the same time; an impossible box: M.C. Escher's artworks feature perspective impossibilities that are world famous. To the eyes, Escher is simply a genius artist.
