In the 1960s, the iconic American folk singer Pete Seeger devised an audacious plan—to build a sailboat to save the polluted Hudson River.

An intimate portrait of Pete and the grassroots community he anchored in the Hudson Valley for over forty years with his wife Toshi, Down by the Riverside shows how an unconventional campaign to save a beloved American waterway prompted a green revolution.

This is a coming-of-age memoir, the tale of a naïve young man in a cultural whirlwind who learns some hard lessons about business, journalism, love and sex – all the while trying to get his own band a record deal. “POW! is quite an extraordinary achievement, at the very least for showing that Tony’s memories are as detailed and full as if these things happened just last week. Most autobiographies skim over the bad bits with a wry eye, a ‘whoops’ with a grin, but Tony has no such tone. His gods are as slammed as they are revered, by showing both their humanity and their human-ness, their own faults and problems.” — Hugo Burnham, Gang of Four.

The adventures of a young cat and a dog as they find themselves accidentally separated and each swept into a hazardous trek.

Genre wiz-kid Sam Raimi and his college pal Bruce Campbell re-invented horror with this low-budget “video nasty” that put them and their collaborators on the map. The film, focused on five college kids whose secluded cabin getaway is rudely interrupted by a swarm of soul-hungry Kandarian “Deadites,” is a masterclass in D.I.Y. filmmaking. The seams may be visible, but the screams are sincere. It features endlessly inventive camerawork, deliciously mean-spirited violence and a sickening black-tar sense of humor. The Evil Dead didn’t just spawn a franchise (including five sequels and a television series): it created a new variety of midnight movie, coined the term “splatstick” and cemented a legacy both infamous and immortal. A movie that Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Glieberman raves “has a hallucinatory, blood-spattered comic-book ferocity that leaves you gasping." (dir. Sam Raimi, U.S., 1981, 80 min.)

The Last Seat in the House, written and directed by John Kane, is a documentary that explores the life and legacy of Bill Hanley, the pioneering sound engineer known as the “Father of Festival Sound.” Best remembered for creating the sound of Woodstock in 1969, Hanley revolutionized live music by introducing clarity and scale to concerts at a time when large audiences were thought impossible to manage. Through extensive research and firsthand accounts from artists and industry insiders, the film traces Hanley’s innovations, his role in founding the sound reinforcement industry, and the personal and professional costs of building an industry that ultimately moved beyond him. By focusing on sound as the often-overlooked carrier wave of contemporary music, The Last Seat in the House reveals how one man’s vision permanently changed the way the world listens. (dir. John Kane, USA, 2025, 120 min.)
