By Nicholas Kemp

November 1, 2014
Jennifer Kent’s visually stunning horror debut—in which a young widow and her disturbed 7-year-old son are haunted by the sudden presence of a sinister children’s book—reminds us that the things that go bump in the night may be buried deep inside our psyches, not just in the basement.

Water Shorts
on
October 28, 2014
Q&A with Who Owns Water directors David Hanson, Michael Hanson & Andrew Kornylak!They say whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting, but we would respectfully add that water is also for playing. Who Owns Water highlights the conflicts that can arise when water becomes scarce, but all three films in this program are broadly about finding joy in and above water.
Crossing Boundaries Shorts
on
October 28, 2014
Q&A with Duke and the Buffalo director Alfredo Alcantara and subject & executive producer Duke Phillips, Mending the Line director Steve Engman and subjects Frank & Jeanne Moore, and 14.c subjects Kai & Connie Lightner!Whether a boundary is real or imagined, crossing over is usually left to mavericks, visionaries, and the exceptionally brave. The lead characters in these three documentaries all cross different kinds of boundaries. In 14.c, a young black athlete excels in a sport that normally has little diversity: climbing. Duke from Duke and the Buffalo is a rancher who has made an alliance with a large conservation group. Frank Moore envisioned returning to fly-fish in France 60 years after landing on the beaches of Normandy, and his dream became a reality in Mending the Line.
