A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada decided to bring his version of ancient Hindu scripture to America in the late 1960s. Despite or because of prescriptions against eating meat, engaging in sex, or consuming drugs and alcohol, the Hare Krishna movement became hugely popular in the West — with George Harrison among its devotees. Chanting, orange-robed, shaven-headed pilgrims were ubiquitous in major cities across North America. Yet by the mid-80s, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness was embroiled in multiple scandals involving guns, drugs, money laundering, child abuse, and murder… Adapted from the New York Times best-selling expose Monkey on a Stick: Murder, Madness, and the Hare Krishnas, Jason Lapeyre’s film uses interviews with former Krishnas and dramatic reenactments to explain how matters spiraled out of control so fast and with such devastating consequences.

The lush and breathtaking beauty of the Alps, filmed with painterly grace under natural light from frigid winter to redemptive spring, provides the physical and emotional backdrop for Vermiglio, Maura Delpero's visionary film, which won the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. This singular portrait of a sprawling family, set in the small, mountainous village of Vermiglio during the waning days of WWII, follows a series of dramatic, consequential events after the arrival of a taciturn Sicilian soldier (Giuseppe De Domenico), who hides out in town after deserting the army. While there, the soldier develops a romance with the family's eldest daughter, Lucia (Martina Scrinzi). Vermiglo shows the lives of a provincial family in a remote village suspended in time by the customs of a fading era. Conjuring stories from her own family's past, Delpero creates a deeply personal and human tale that recalls the great neorealist movement in Italian cinema, but through Lucia's perspective, Vermiglio feels distinct and novel. Italy's Official Selection for the 2025 Academy Awards.
