Summary 
International superstar Maggie Cheung embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu, known as the "Greta Garbo of China," in this unconventional biopic by Hong Kong New Wave master Stanley Kwan. Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence, Ruan's private life, which was frequent fodder for the vicious Shanghai tabloids, began to mirror the melodramas which brought her fame, culminating in her suicide at age 24. Kwan and Cheung paint a kaleidoscopic yet intimate portrait of the ill-fated actress, deftly blending lush period drama, archival footage, and metatextual documentary sequences of Cheung reflecting on Ruan's legacy.
Summary 
In this new restoration of the iconic New Queer Cinema classic, Derek Jarman offers a postmodern take on Christopher Marlowe's Elizabethan drama. Pleasure-seeking King Edward II sets the stage for a palace revolt by taking as a lover the ambitious Piers Gaveston - who uses his favor in bed to wield political influence - sending the gay pair from the throne to a terminal torture dungeon. This landmark of gay cinema features an incredible performance from Jarman muse and **Oscar**-winner Tilda Swinton as Edward's spurned Queen Isabella and a rare film appearance by singer Annie Lennox. Winner of the FIPRESCI, Teddy and Best Picture Award at the **Berlin International Film Festival.** Winner of the the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the **Venice International Film Festival.** Official Selection at the **Sundance Film Festival**. *"...in its scrupulous austerity and sensitivity to its materials, one of the most exquisite movies ever made." - Dave Kehr, **Chicago Tribune***
Summary 
At the dawn of the 20th century, a multi-generational family in the Gullah community on the Sea Islands off of South Carolina - former West African slaves who adopted many of their ancestors' Yoruba traditions - struggle to maintain their cultural heritage and folklore while contemplating a migration to the mainland, even further from their roots. The first wide release by a black female filmmaker, DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST was met with wild critical acclaim and rapturous audience response when it initially opened in 1991. Casting a long legacy, DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST still resonates today, most recently as a major in influence on Beyonce's video album *Lemonade*. Winner of the Cinematography Award and nominated for the Grand Jury Prize in the Dramatic competition at the **Sundance Film Festival**. Chosen for preservation by the **National Film Preservation Board, USA**. *"Its examination of a bygone way of life is so patient and evocative, so beholden to its own storytelling conventions and rhythms, that watching it is a bit like submitting to a form of time travel." - Justin Chang, **The Los Angeles Times***
