A rare glimpse into the mind of one of cinema’s most enigmatic visionaries, David Lynch: The Art Life offers an absorbing portrait of the artist, as well as an intimate encounter with the man himself. From his secluded home and painting studio in the Hollywood Hills, a candid Lynch conjures people and places from his past, from his boyhood to his experiences at art school to the beginnings of his filmmaking career—in stories that unfold like scenes from his movies. This remarkable documentary by Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes, and Olivia Neergaard-Holm travels back to Lynch’s early years as a painter and director drawn to the phantasmagoric, while also illuminating his enduring commitment to what he calls “the art life”: “You drink coffee, you smoke cigarettes, and you paint, and that’s it.”

As an imminent construction project looms over their beloved baseball field, two New England recreational teams play ball for the last time. As day turns to night and innings bleed together, the players chat, laugh, and squabble as they face the uncertainty of a new era. Named for a rare curveball, Carson Lund’s poignant comedy is an ode to sports, community, and the passage of time. "Swells in some languid liminal space between hangout movie and elegy, a tribute to the community institutions that hold us together, that introduce us to one another and that, in an age of optimized life choices and disappearing public spaces, are slowly fading away."—NYTimes Critic's Pick "As Eephus continues, its symbolic qualities recede and it becomes about something more basic, about the simple fact of time spent in the presence of others, about getting to know people, getting to joke with them and about them and around them. That’s the film’s greatest surprise, its secret deceptive pitch. We keep looking for meaning while the world passes us by."—NYMag "Spearheading an unassuming new nostalgia movement in American indie cinema, which is unashamedly sentimental without being soppy and deeply, almost surreally sincere in its observation of the arcane rituals that underlie so much of American social life"—Jessica Kiang, Variety

A collective of Palestinian and Israeli activist/filmmakers chronicle the Israeli military’s incremental expulsion of the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta — home to 20 ancient Palestinian villages — in this tightly focused, urgent documentary.

The two form a complicated friendship and hopeful partnership in their efforts to resist a government-sanctioned mass eviction. 2025 Academy Award—Best Documentary Feature Winner—Best Documentary & Panorama Audience Award at Berlin Winner—Audience Award at CPH:DOX 2024 Gotham Awards—Best Documentary Feature 2024 NYFCC Awards—Best Non-Fiction Film 2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards—Best Documentary "The footage is out there, and it’s rarely been assembled into a more concise, powerful, and damning array than it is here."—IndieWire Critic's Pick "An audacious and devastating film...feels genuinely daring and bold"—NYTimes In Arabic, Hebrew, English w/English subtitles
