Jennie Livingston
Jennie Livingston
Earth Camp One is about how the filmmaker lost four family members in five years. Oscar Wilde wrote, “To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.” What do our attitudes towards loss and impermanence mean—for us as individuals, and as a society?

This documentary profiles Elly Glass, who through amazing ingenuity rescued her husband from Buchenwald concentration camp in 1939. Henry P. Glass went on to build one of the first solar houses in the United States and became one of Chicago's foremost industrial designers. Now at age 92 Elly has a chance to tell her story. What emerges is a portrait of a couple whose ideas about living green were far ahead of their time.
Elwood Snock & The Land of Lo-Fi
Lisa Foti-Straus, Susannah Patrice Morse
Lisa Foti-Straus, Susannah Patrice Morse
As wild, sweet and strange as the artist it celebrates, Elwood Snock & The Land of Lo-Fi travels a path of music and imagination with musician Michael Hurley. Like the magical wandering of Michael's mind, this experimental documentary weaves performances with Michael's footage, animation of his comic book characters, and encounters with inspired musicians. Land of Lo-Fi upends notions of a prescribed route to fulfillment, traveling alongside a man who has chosen his own road.
