No Other Land

“The footage is out there, and it’s rarely been assembled into a more concise, powerful, and damning array than it is here. Now it only has to be seen.” –IndieWire

Made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four directors (Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, and Rachel Szor) over the course of five years, No Other Land serves as a moving portrait of friendship between Adra and Abraham, who form a philosophical and political alliance despite the drastic differences in their abilities to exist freely in this world. Winner of multiple awards, including the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale.

Blitz

“In his most audacious stroke, McQueen dramatizes the ghostly purgatory of an Underground station where newly arrived spirits, some of whom aided George on his journey, stand transfixed by song.” –The New Yorker

This authentic and astonishing recreation of London during its blitzkrieg by the Germans during World War II, about a working-class single mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) separated from her 9-year-old son, George (newcomer Elliott Heffernan), pushes the artistry of Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) to ever more impressive levels.

Sean Baker’s rambunctious Palme d’Or winner continues in our theaters, starring Mikey Madison (Gotham Award nominee for Outstanding Lead Performance) as an exotic dancer from Brighton Beach thrust into the lap of luxury when she’s whisked away on a whirlwind romance with a wealthy young customer.

Dahomey

The African kingdom of Dahomey, which ruled over its region at the west of the continent until the turn of the 20th century, saw hundreds of its splendid royal artifacts plundered by French colonial troops in its waning days. Now, as 26 of these treasures are set to return to their homeland—now within the Republic of Benin—filmmaker Mati Diop documents their voyage back.
