Nazi Town, USA

In February 1939, more than 20,000 Americans filled Madison Square Garden for an event billed as a “Pro-American Rally.” Images of George Washington hung next to swastikas and speakers railed against the “Jewish controlled media” and called for a return to a racially “pure” America. The keynote speaker was Fritz Kuhn, head of the German American Bund. Nazi Town, USA tells the largely unknown story of the Bund, which had scores of chapters in suburbs and big cities across the country and represented what many believe was a real threat of fascist subversion in the United States. The Bund held joint rallies with the Ku Klux Klan and ran dozens of summer camps for children centered around Nazi ideology and imagery. Its melding of patriotic values with virulent anti-Semitism raised thorny issues that we continue to wrestle with today.

Dame Maggie Smith - A Celebration

A tribute to the celebrated and enigmatic actress, with her life story told by those who knew her best, celebrating her much-loved appearances across film and TV spanning almost 70 years. Smith, who died in September of this year, had gained a new level of popularity playing the razor-tongued Lady Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey, but for all her success, remained a very private person who had little time for the trappings that came with fame. The film tells the story of a girl born in pre-war Essex who, against the odds, took Broadway and the West End by storm before eventually becoming one of the world's most popular and respected performers.

Los ríos

A man knocks on my door. I ask him what he needs. He doesn't answer. He looks at me for a few moments, with enormous eyes. He looks at me as one looks at an apparition. Rivers are born in that silence, in those hallucinated eyes, and they unfold a memory of water, a fragmented knowledge of tornadoes and banks, of creaking trees, of birds bathing in the rain, of men lost on some island, of drowning in the backwaters, of the splash of oars, of the shadow where the river narrows. A man knocks on my door. He says to me: You're not here, we're not here.

Zurawski v Texas

Due to Texas's abortion laws, which are some of the most restrictive in the country, Amanda Zurawski was refused an emergency procedure during a troubled pregnancy. The collapse of her uterus sent her into life-threatening septic shock, from which she continues to recover. Her tragic story is less rare than you'd think: When Zurawski took the bold step of fighting the laws in court, in a suit led by the attorney Molly Duane, 21 other women, all of whom had suffered devastating health effects from the Texas laws, signed on to support it.

I, Actor

This documentary about the preparation of a production based on the principle of theatre on the stage uses filmic means to explore the meaning of the art of theatre and, in the civilian conversations among members of the ensemble outside their roles, reveals that even the actors themselves often grope for the meaning of their profession. In the process, the sometimes humorous and sometimes critical moments during the preparation of a theatrical piece reveal the many pitfalls of collective work in contemporary society.

Bizarrofilia

Argentina is a country with an extensive and varied cinematography. Within this enormity, there is a rare, atypical… bizarre cinema. Bizarrofilia aims to investigate the origin and meaning of the word “bizarre”, how the passage of time implies reinterpretations of some works, and focuses on the contemporary production of films that aim to distance themselves from any mimetic representation of reality… although in a country like ours reality always surpasses fiction.
