Blue note Records: Beyond the notesd: sophie huber | 2018 | switzerland | 85 min | pG

Join us on a revelatory journey behind the scenes of Blue Note Records, the pioneering label that gave voice to some of the most ground-breaking jazz artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Legends Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter come together with next-generation musicians to record a new album and reflect on the legacy Blue Note is built on: Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Miles Davis and more. Tracing decades of history, Blue Note Records is a thrilling celebration of the core values that jazz embodies—freedom of expression, equality and dialogue—values that are just as relevant today as they were when the label was founded in 1939.

Far. the story of a Journey Around the World d: patrick allgaier, Gwendolin Weisser | 2017 | Germany | 128 min | G

Embark on an unforgettable journey to China, Pakistan, India and beyond with a young couple travelling the world on an epic 50,000 km hitchhike. Travelling for over three years with hardly any money, and refusing to take any planes, the charismatic duo makes their way through beautiful landscapes, forests and cities, striking up unexpected friendships with locals along the way. An ode to exploration and the encounters that emerge when you forget about itineraries and Google Maps, this buoyant European revelation invites you to let go and let yourself get lost in the world.

In German, English, Spanish, Arabic, Russian with English subtitles


the Invisibles d: claus räfle | 2017 | Germany | 110 min | pG

In 1943, Joseph Goebbels declared Berlin “free of Jews.” Though he did come markedly close to his goal, some 1,700 endured in secret. This gripping docu-drama traces the astonishingly-true stories of four young survivors who learned that sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight. Masterfully combining dramatic re-enactments with interviews, director Claus Räfle takes us inside the Berlin underground and alongside these rebellious teen heroes as they dodge Nazi officials and navigate a vast network of spies, stopping at nothing to evade capture. Brought to life by some of Germany’s most talented young actors, The Invisibles is a testament to the resourcefulness, willpower, and sheer chance that permit us to survive against incredible odds.

the Biggest Little Farm d: John chester | 2018 | Usa | 91 min

When the barking of their beloved dog leads to an eviction notice from their tiny LA apartment, John and Molly Chester make a choice most of us only dream of, trading in the city hustle to live in harmony with the land. But the couple’s naïve ambition of building a sustainable farm takes a series of wild turns as they come to realize that to survive, they will have to reach a deeper understanding of the intricacies of nature, and of life itself. Filled with breathtaking images of plants and animals, The Biggest Little Farm is an inspiring ode to uncompromising idealism and a beautiful homage to the natural world.

nureyevd: david Morris, Jacqui Morris | 2018 | UK | 109 min

Considered the greatest male dancer the world has ever known, the story of “Lord of the Dance” Rudolf Nureyev’s extraordinary rise to fame is told through never-before-seen archival footage and spellbinding ballet sequences by award-winning choreographer Russell Maliphant. After defecting from the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, Nureyev went on to gain rock-star-like status in the West, symbolizing the divisive times in which he lived. At a moment when all eyes are on Russia, BAFTA-nominated filmmakers David and Jacqui Morris take a look behind the curtain to create a striking portrait of a cultural icon whose light still burns bright 25 years after his death.

they shall not grow old d: peter Jackson | 2018 | UK, new Zealand | 99 min

In this ground-breaking cinematic achievement, Academy Award-winning director Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings) brings World War I to life as you’ve never seen it before. Using state-of-the-art restoration, colourization and 3D technologies—and pulling from 600 hours of archival footage—Jackson offers a remarkably contemporary visual revival of the “war to end all wars,” told through the eyes and voices of real British soldiers who risked their lives in battle. Taking you to the frontlines of the Western Front a century later, this extraordinary documentary captures the humanity of war with unprecedented clarity and profound emotion.

In this six-part series, Japanese sociologist Momo Kano Podolsky will take us on a lively journey through her ancestral land, introducing us to the traditions and folkways of one of the world’s most fascinating countries.
