A one-shot film that follows brothers on and off screen, Ari and Ethan, on the hunt for their dying poet father through the streets of San Francisco. Shot in one day, the script uses deep improvisation, relying heavily on the natural bond and sibling bickering of the siblings, blurring fiction and reality. (dir. Ari Gold, U.S., 2025, 91 min.) New date! (changed to allow for in-person Q&A). A one-shot film that follows brothers on and off screen, Ari and Ethan, on the hunt for their dying poet father through the streets of San Francisco. Shot in one day, the script uses deep improvisation, relying heavily on the natural bond and sibling bickering of the siblings, blurring fiction and reality. (dir. Ari Gold, U.S., 2025, 91 min.) “Taking inspiration from the film’s executive producer Francis Ford Coppola, it unreels as if in real time, the camera trailing the brothers on a single, music-filled night from Vesuvio Cafe to Specs’ Twelve Adler Museum Cafe, up Telegraph Hill and more.” — San Francisco Chronicle Ari Gold is a movie director, poet, musician, & founder/president of Grack Films.

This is the story of the Butthole Surfers, a band that defied every rule and redefined what rock could be. Emerging from Texas in the early 1980s, Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary forged an anarchic path across America’s underground, creating chaotic live shows filled with nudity, fake blood, and blistering psychedelic noise. Their name alone was a challenge to Reagan-era conformity, yet their influence rippled through alternative music, shaping acts like Nirvana and securing them a cult legacy. Featuring candid interviews, wild archival footage, trippy reenactments, and commentary from icons like Flea, Dave Grohl, and Richard Linklater, this long-anticipated documentary is as provocative, funny, and fearless as the band itself

After decades of being blown to bits by bombs, demolished by dynamite, mangled by magnets, battered by boulders, trampled by trains, tricked by tunnels, sprung by springs, steamrolled by steamrollers, maligned by misfires, bedeviled by bungees, rattled by rockets, backstabbed by bat suits, rocked by rocket skates, upended by unicycles, quaked by quake pills, rubberized by rogue bands, and hurled headlong off every cliff in the Southwest, Wile E. Coyote (Genius) finally fights back. Teaming up with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte), he takes on slick corporate counsel Buddy Crane (John Cena) and ACME, Inc., the profit-obsessed conglomerate behind every one of the Coyote’s chaotic catastrophes.

On a quiet May morning, a van marked “Immigration Enforcement” pulls up on a street in Glasgow. Conducting a dawn raid, two long-standing residents are arrested for alleged immigration violations and face deportation. Word of the raid goes out almost immediately, and students, neighbors, members of the local mosque and others — rush to the area in response. One man forces his way under the van to prevent it from leaving. Dozens, hundreds, and then thousands of people pour in, filming, chanting, and blockading the van in solidarity. From executive producer Emma Thompson and director Felipe Bustos Sierra, EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET chronicles this event through interviews with people who were there, and using footage shot throughout the day. Told from multiple viewpoints, the film captures the chaos and confusion — but also a sense of joy, celebration, and the power of community. The mosque opens its doors for people who need a washroom. Supporters turn up, passing around pizzas, water, and snacks. Thompson herself appears in the film, re-creating the role of the so-called Van Man, and Bustos Sierra places the events of the day in the broader context of centuries of labor activism and direct action by the people of Glasgow. EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET tells a remarkable story of resistance, community care, and the power of everyday people coming together to fight injustice.

But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.

William Holden leads a band of aging robbers through the hard world of the Old West as they try to outrun the bounty hunter (the legendary Robert Ryan) who is hot on their trail. The balletic violence and weary fatalism that Peckinpah brings to his vision of the American West is underscored by some of sweatiest, dirtiest, bloodiest performances from some of the the toughest, ugliest actors of all time. Ernest Borgnine, Ben Johnson and Warren Oates shoot, screw, drink, and ride horses all while imbuing the film's harsh, empty world with a sense of real poetry. This is a film about the mantle of violence passing from old professionals, who live by a code, to even more chaotic and deadly future generations. And what is the code these old men live by? Stand by your friends and against the world, take what you can get, and don't kill civilians...unless they get in the way.

This documentary pulls apart the legendary 1972 Toronto’s highly-improvisational production of the musical Godspell that was a comedic launchpad for a generation of North American icons: Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, Victor Garber, and Paul Shaffer. What began as an off-off-off-and more off Broadway show, planted the seed which would become the sensibility for generations of Saturday Night Live and everything the came from that. (dir. Nick Davis, US, 2025, 98 min.) “It’s about something bigger than Godspell — a pop movement that didn’t have a name yet, a cultural spirit that found its way into existence almost like (laughing) gas gathering in the air.” —Variety
