Martin Margiela: In His Own Words

Smarter than the usual air-kissing fashion doc, the film’s cerebral approach fits the fashion designer’s work.

Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn

A powerful and harrowing reminder of the unfinished battle for racial justice and equality today.

Out Stealing Horses

Two major awakenings during the summer of ’48 in this dark but hopeful coming-of-age drama starring Stellan Skarsgard.

Song Without a Name

A must-watch that’s harrowing and infuriating, set in 1988 during the war between the Peruvian government and the Shining Path guerrilla movement.

I Used to Go Here

Gillian Jacobs stars as a writer who finds herself spiraling downwards in the vein of a gentle, life-affirming screwball comedy.

A Thousand Cuts

If you’re familiar with global events surrounding attacks on the free press, Ramona S. Diaz’s new film will give you even more reasons to worry.

River City Drumbeat

An in-depth study of a vibrant community and a highly effective snapshot of an arts organization that has done considerable good.

La Llorona

Jayro Bustamante’s vision of the Weeping Woman is novel, and it’s a stroke of genius to imagine this popular legend in relation to the real horrors that have stained Latin American history.

She Dies Tomorrow

Amy Seimetz’s film is probably the most eerie example since Jordan Peele’s Get Out of a film acutely and unintentionally capturing America’s state of mind upon its release.
