A sex therapist who has never had an orgasm, a dominatrix who is unable to connect, a gay couple who are deciding whether to open up their relationship, and the people who weave in and out of their lives, all converge on a weekly gathering called Shortbus: a mad nexus of art, music, politics, and polysexual carnality. Set in a post-9/11, Bush-exhausted New York City, SHORTBUS tells its story with sexual frankness, suggesting new ways to reconcile questions of the mind, pleasures of the flesh, and imperatives of the heart.

Author Redfearn, Jennifer, Women Make Movies (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary Since the beginning of the War on Drugs, the number of women in U.S. prisons has increased over 800%. The majority are mothers. Against the backdrop of a Midwestern state battling industrial decline and an opioid epidemic, APART offers an intimate portrait of three women incarcerated on drug-related charges who face the challenge of mothering their children first from prison and then after release. With the help of a unique re-entry program run by Malika, an advocate formerly incarcerated in the same prison, the women lean on each other to find the strength and support to rebuild their lives and relationships with their children. Counselors and instructors teach employment and life skills and help unpack the traumas of living in the wake of addiction and longing for distant loved ones. By highlighting the women's investment in their own futures and in one another, APART also offers a wider indictment of incarceration in America, underscoring the ways institutions and systems all too often prioritize punishment and discipline over healing.

Title Mish Mish.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Michael, Tal, Menemsha Films (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary In a basement near Paris a treasure-trove of Egyptian animated films has been found. The films show the work of the Arab world's pioneers in this genre, the Frenkel brothers: three exceptional young film-makers, creators of Mish-Mish Effendi, the Mickey Mouse of the entire region, which disappeared from Egyptian screens when the State of Israel was created. Through their animated images, we uncover the history of the Frenkel family, marked by exile, a trauma being repeated today. "Bukra fil Mish-Mish" is a common Arabic expression referring to something which will never happen: "if pigs could fly". At the same time the extraordinary discovery of these films reveals a forgotten era gone forever, an Arab-Jewish golden age when the two communities could create things together. Not only has it disappeared, it has been erased from the pages of history.

Nat has fond memories of his eccentric Aunt Eleanor reading to him from her enormous collection of storybooks but is frustrated by his inability to read the books himself. So he is less than thrilled when he learns that his aunt has left him the keys to her attic library as a gift. However, just as Nat's parents are selling the collection to a shady antiques dealer, Nat discovers that the library is magical - the books are all original editions of classic fairy tales, and the famous characters come to life! Now with the help of Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, Puss in Boots, Peter Pan and others, he must find a way to get back the books and learn to read an ancient spell to keep the characters alive for future generations of children. Winner of Special Distinction and nominated for Best Feature at the **Annecy International Animated Film Festival** *"While the script is geared to the lollipop crowd, nicely animated sequences, particularly an impressive nightmare segment in black-and-white, will appeal to all ages; even better, parents will appreciate the pro-literacy message at the pic's heart." - Jay Weissberg, **Variety*** *"Visually sumptuous throughout, this film is a delight for the eyes. Clever imagery puts across Nat's feelings about the oppressive nature of letters and words very effectively...The engaging story, which never patronises Nat and shows that his dislike of reading doesn't limit his imaginative powers, may well work effectively in encouraging reluctant readers. It certainly brings alive the magic of what books contain." Jennie Kermode, **Eye for Film***

Summary From visionary director Yasuhiro Yoshiura (*Time of Eve*) comes PATEMA INVERTED, a perspective-twisting sci-fi adventure about two kids separated by opposite gravities. Patema lives in an underground world of tunnels, the long-abandoned ruins of a giant industrial complex. Though she is a princess, she is held back by the rules imposed by the elders of her clan. One day when she is exploring in a forbidden zone, she is startled by a strange bat-like creature and tumbles headlong into a void - and out into the wide open world above the surface, a place with reversed physics, where if she let go she would "fall up" into the sky and be lost forever. Age is a student on this surface world, a totalitarian society whose compliant population has been brainwashed against the "sinners who fell into the sky." When he spies Patema hanging upside-down from a tree, he pulls her down to safety, struggling with all his might to keep her earthbound as she grips on to him for dear life. Together their weights cancel each other out, and once they master the art of navigating competing gravitational forces, they set out to evade the leaders of Age's world and discover the secret that keeps their worlds apart. Nominated for Best Animated Feature Film at the **Asia Pacific Screen Awards** and the Futurewave Youth Jury Award at the **Seattle International Film Festival** *"Yasuhiro Yoshiura has fashioned an ingenious animated fable, rooted in scientific phenomena which will stir the imaginations of adults and kids alike, challenging as it might be at times for the latter demographic." - David Noh, **Film Journal International***

How can he make sense of the last 34 years? How can he anticipate what Oscar might want to know about his father in a future Neil can only imagine?

Title Impossible Light.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Ambers, Jeremy, Bayview Entertainment (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary On March 5th, 2013, San Francisco's skyline was transformed by an amazing sight: 25,000 LED lights that, for perhaps the first time save the 1989 earthquake, caused people to consider the Bay Bridge instead of her iconic sister. How did this happen? Who was behind the eight million-dollar installation? How in the world did they pull it off? The story behind the making of THE BAY LIGHTS-a project whose very "impossibility made it possible"-answers these questions, revealing the drama and the daring of artist Leo Villareal and a small team of visionaries who battle seemingly impossible challenges to turn a dream of creating the world's largest LED light sculpture into a glimmering reality.

Author Roderweiss, Wendy, Bayview Entertainment (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary This film follows four people working a job few would desire: tending to the needs of the dying. They are nurses, but they are also therapists, entertainers, disciplinarians, and family to these patients. Filmed at one of the only full-time residential hospices in the country, this film creates an authentic portrait of a day-in-the-life of the hospice. Off-the-cuff interviews with staff are at the heart of the film as they talk about burnout, budget cuts, and, more warmly, about their patients. These nurses waver between fulfillment and despair, clashing with management and fighting budget cuts while trying to keep life as normal as possible for their dying patients.

Title The Last Laugh.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Pearlstein, Ferne, Foxman, Abraham, Zweibel, Alan, Reiner, Carl, Cross, David,
Summary Are we allowed to make jokes about the Holocaust? In this outrageously funny and thought-provoking film, filmmaker Ferne Pearlstein puts the question about comedy's ultimate taboo to legends including Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Sarah Silverman, Gilbert Gottfried, Harry Shearer, Jeff Ross, Judy Gold, Susie Essman, Larry Charles, and many other critical thinkers, as well as Holocaust survivors themselves. Through these interviews and clips from our favorite standup comedy, TV shows, and movies, THE LAST LAUGH offers fresh insights into the Holocaust, our own psyches, and what else-9/11, AIDS, racism-is or isn't off-limits in a society that prizes freedom of speech. In the process, THE LAST LAUGH also disproves the idea that there is nothing left to say about the Holocaust, and opens a fresh avenue for approaching this epochal tragedy. Official Selection at the **Tribeca Film Festival** and **Hot Docs International Film Festival**. *"In its own way, THE LAST LAUGH is a celebration of Jewish humor, not just its importance as a survival technique, but also just how much it has shaped our culture." - Sheila O'Malley, **RogerEbert.com***

Title A Midsummer Night's Dream.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Wilder Mott, Casey, Jogia, Avan, Wittrock, Finn, Kanz, Fran, Linklater, Hamish,
Summary One of Shakespeare's most beloved creations, this frolicking tale of lovesick young aristocrats, energetic but inept rustics, and mischievous woodland spirits is a staple of stage and screen. In the past, filmed adaptions have emphasized the play's traditional, Elizabethan qualities. This production however is a fresh and stylish reinvention that takes an entirely different approach. The story takes place in present day Hollywood - a place where glamorous stars, commanding moguls, starving artists and vaulting pretenders all vie to get ahead. In the tradition of Baz Luhrmann's rapturous re-imagining of Romeo + Juliet, this modern vision breathes new life into a classic tale. Combined with a cast of established and emerging stars, as well as a pulsing original soundtrack, the film will appeal to ardent fans of the Bard as well as audiences discovering Shakespeare for the first time. *"Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth and indulge in a film I feel certain Shakespeare himself would enjoy."* - Bradley Gibson, ***Film Threat***

Summary For years, Sonia Warshawski (92) has been an inspirational public speaker at schools and prisons, where her stories of surviving the Holocaust as a teenager have inspired countless people who once felt their own traumas would leave them broken forever. But when Sonia is served an eviction notice for her iconic tailor shop, she's confronted with an agonizing decision: either open up a new shop or retire. Ironically, Sonia's shop is the last open business in an otherwise desolate Kansas City mall, but it contains enough color and liveliness to make up for the entire empty complex. For a woman who admits she stays busy "to keep the dark parts away," facing retirement dredges up fears she'd long forgot she had, and her horrific past resurfaces. BIG SONIA explores what it means to be a survivor and how intergenerational trauma affects families and generations. Winner of Best Documentary at the **Cleveland International Film Festival** and at the **Napa Valley Film Festival**. *"A visual reminder of time's arrow and other, more important losses." - Chris Packham, **L.A.

Author Klotz, Jean-Christophe, Kino Lorber (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary Adapted from Sandra Schulberg's monograph, FILMMAKERS FOR THE PROSECUTION retraces the hunt for film evidence that could convict the Nazis at the Nuremberg Trial. The searchers were two sons of Hollywood - brothers Budd and Stuart Schulberg - serving under the command of OSS film chief John Ford. The motion pictures they presented in the courtroom became part of the official record and shape our understanding of the Holocaust to this day. Seventy-five years after the trial, French journalist and filmmaker Jean-Christophe Klotz returns to the German salt mines where films lay burning, uncovers never-before-seen footage, and interviews key figures to unravel why the resulting film about the trial - Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today by Stuart Schulberg - was intentionally buried by the U.S. Department of War. Klotz's riveting film also fills in the gaps of how these groundbreaking materials were sourced, and poses still-pertinent questions about documentarians' obligations to posterity.

Summary Centuries ago, humans first arrived with their livestock on the isolated Icelandic coast - a remote land pushed up against the inhospitable Arctic Ocean that has been home to generations of farmers. Úlfar and Oddny (an aging Icelandic couple) are among this legacy, completely in rythym with the land and tuned in to the cyclical nature of farm work. As autumn approaches, and their children and grandchildren arrive from the cities to assist in the seasonal sheep herding, one thing becomes clear - this will be the family's final descent from the surrounding hills with their flock. With life in rural Iceland changing and Úlfar and Oddny growing older, the family understands this is the end of an era. Shot with a poignant reverence for both the harshness and beauty of the landscape, Fannberg's THE LAST AUTUMN bids farewell to an ancient lifestyle at the edge of the world.

Title Blood on the Tracks.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Clarke, Allan, Smith, Suzanne, Australian Broadcasting Corporation (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary It's 1988. Just outside of Tamworth in country New South Wales, a freight train hits someone lying on the tracks. The tracks divide Tamworth in two. An Aboriginal community (nicknamed "Vegemite Village") on one side, a largely white population on the other. The boy on the tracks is Mark Haines, a 17 year-old Gomeroi teenager. Despite the strange evidence found at the scene of his death, the family feel like they're being ignored by police. An inquiry finds no answers and the mystery is left to fester, causing division and suspicion in the town. Twenty-five years later, journalist Allan Clarke picks up the case. Alan tells a story of a town divided, an investigation bungled, evidence lost...and critical leads never followed up. We follow Allan through five years of investigation. His reporting sparks a resurgence of interest in the case that sees the file reopened, a review launched, a reward announced. During two trips to Tamworth our investigative team dives deeper and the thirty-year-old mystery finally begins to unravel. As Allan gets closer to the truth, the story ends with a revelation no-one was expecting.

Title Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Menkes, Nina, Hardwicke, Catherine, Yi, Charlyne, Hittman, Eliza, Soloway, Joey,
Summary "If the camera is predatory, then the culture is predatory." In this eye-opening documentary, celebrated independent filmmaker Nina Menkes explores the sexual politics of cinematic shot design. Using clips from hundreds of movies we all know and love - from Metropolis to Vertigo to Phantom Thread - Menkes convincingly makes the argument that shot design is gendered. BRAINWASHED: SEX-CAMERA-POWER illuminates the patriarchal narrative codes that hide within supposedly "classic" set-ups and camera angles, and demonstrates how women are frequently displayed as objects for the use, support, and pleasure of male subjects. Building on the essential work of Laura Mulvey and other feminist writers, Menkes shows how these not-so-subtle embedded messages affect and intersect with the twin epidemics of sexual abuse and assault, as well as employment discrimination against women, especially in the film industry. The film features interviews with an all-star cast of women and non-binary industry professionals including Julie Dash, Penelope Spheeris, Charlyne Yi, Joey Soloway, Catherine Hardwicke, Eliza Hittman, Maria Giese, and Rosanna Arquette. The result is an electrifying call-to-action that will fundamentally change the way you see, and watch, movies.

Author Tanner Boll, Pamela, New Day Films (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary From the producing team that won an Academy Award for Born Into Brothels comes Who Does She Think She Is?, a film that examines some of the most pressing issues of our time: parenting and work, partnering and independence, economics and art. This gorgeously photographed film follows five women artists as they navigate the economic, psychological, and spiritual challenges of making work outside the elite art world. From Hawaii's Big Island to the suburbs of Ohio, from New York City to the deserts of New Mexico, we watch as these women, ranging in age from 27 to 65, fight to honor their vision and their families every day. Interviews with experts like Riane Eisler (The Chalice and the Blade), Maura Reilly (Sackler Center for Feminist Art-Brooklyn Museum), Courtney E. Martin (Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters), Leonard Shlain (The Alphabet vs. The Goddess) and the Guerrilla Girls add a cultural context for these women's uplifting journeys. It is not accolades they seek; it's simply the radical opportunity to live whole.

Title Arlit: Deuxieme Paris.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Mora Kpai, Idrissou, California Newsreel (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary A case study in environmental racism set in a uranium mining town in the Sahara desert of Niger. Here European corporations extract nuclear power and profits leaving behind disease, contamination and unemployment. Ironically the primary activities of Arlit today is waiting, waiting to die of radiation related sicknesses or to emigrate to find work in Europe itself. Arlit was once a boom town. During the oil crunch of the early 70's its uranium mines flourished eventually employing 25,000 workers from around the world in high paying jobs. Arlit was alive 24 hours a day, with frequent international flights, nightlife, earning it the nickname, 'le deuxiéme Paris.' Then came the collapse in uranium prices and the Tuareg rebellion against the central government in Niamey more than 500 miles to the southwest. Arlit became a shadow of its former self. When there was nothing more which the Europeans wanted they abandoned the town leaving behind the derelict machinery littering the desert which is so memorable an image in the film. Arlit demonstrates the ultimate bankruptcy of overseas investment in commodity based industry as a strategy for development. "*Perfectly encapsulating the wonder of the desert as well as the ennui of emptiness, Arlit is compelling...*" - ***Variety*** "*The film depicts with unremitting clarity, the costs of development, and how a once vibrant place has become the end point for many illegal immigrants desperately in search of a better life. A withering indictment and a powerful exploration of the dream world of underdevelopment.*" - Michael Watts, ***University of California-Berkeley***

Title Heartsounds - Transforming Your Life.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Chriest, Alan, TMW Media (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary HEARTSOUNDS is an award winning movie that has been featured in 12 film festivals. It tells a story about a young woman's lifelong fascination with penguins and how they transformed her life in time of need. There are 40 species of these flightless birds that make their home in the South Pole. Newborns must stay out of the ocean until their feathers are waterproof and depend on their parents to provide food and shelter. Like humans, not all penguin chicks look the same. They vary in size and plumage color. But bonding is an important part of raising a penguin, and the parents kiss their babies a lot. Family and friends provide a loving support network in towns and villages called rookeries. As they get older, penguins proudly spread their wings and assume the role of a responsible adult. They are highly social birds and chatter a lot to each other. They are not aggressive and argue with civility. Each penguin has a distinct call that allows them to find their mates. They are not afraid of humans but they do know the world is full of danger. Their main predator is the leopard seal - but they must also be cautious of wild dogs, ferel rats, and predatory birds. Their survival is also threatened by pollution, fishing, oil spills, algae blooms, and global warming. For safety, they generally enter and leave the sea in large groups. They love to bathe and can swim 5-6 miles per hour and stay underwater for 10-15 minutes. Did you know they average 70 feathers per square inch and spend several hours a day caring for their feathers? Often, they dance for joy and sing when they see someone they love. Sometimes they just stop and admire the view. Penguins mourn the death of their babies. A whole colony can be affected by the loss and hunch over in a state of grief. How deeply they care. How painful their loss. Gathering brought comfort. They teach us that hearts talk in ways only love can hear.

Title Did Covid Leak From a Lab?.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Malone, David, TVF (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary The prevailing narrative of the Covid-19 outbreak has been that it all started in a wet market in Wuhan. Any suggestion that it was too much of a coincidence that the epicentre of the pandemic was a virology lab that had been experimenting with coronaviruses, was dismissed as propaganda or conspiracy theory. Governments, leading scientists and major media outlets in China, Europe and the USA, all supported the notion that this was a natural evolutionary consequence of a rapidly changing virus - rather than a leak from a lab. But there is now growing evidence that the conspiracy theorists might be right. This documentary follows the story of how Covid's origin has been manipulated, uncovering lies and deceptions that have been perpetrated by the Chinese government, an international network of scientists and major organisations.

In light of the recent resurgence of drive-in theaters, GOING ATTRACTIONS studies the factors that affected the drive-in's dramatic rise, decline and rebirth, and examining how American culture and family have evolved in the last 60 years.

This movie is extremely alarming, an expression which here means "a thrilling misadventure involving three ingenious orphans and a villainous actor named Count Olaf (Jim Carrey) who wants their enormous fortune." It includes a suspicious fire, delicious pasta, Jim Carrey, poorly behaved leeches, an incredibly deadly viper, Meryl Streep, and the voice of an impostor named Jude Law. The only things that could make such a spectacle more upsetting are special features, such as commentary by me or outtakes involving nervous laughter. I am bound to continue my research into the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, but you are free to seek lighter fare, like blue cheese fondue. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket

Summary Tired of watching local government ignore their communities' interests, five diverse female activists decide to run for municipal office in Denver - one of the fastest gentrifying cities in the country. It begins when Shontel Lewis wins a transit board seat, inspiring four women who worked on her campaign - Dr. Lisa Calderón, Candi CdeBaca, Shayla Richard, and Veronica Barela - to make the unusual decision to run as a cohort. With only a fraction of the funds of their incumbent opponents, the women tirelessly knock doors, make calls, and rely on each other to power their grassroots campaigns.

Ultimately, RUNNING WITH MY GIRLS is a lesson about an engaged community outrunning the deep pockets of the political establishment and a demonstration that building a new kind of political power is not just aspirational but possible.

Title Film: The Living Record of Our Memory.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Toharia Terán, Inés, Kino Lorber (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary Why preserve film in a world where audiovisual materials seem so readily available online? That is the key question is explored through interviews with film archivists, curators, technicians, and filmmakers including Costa-Gavras, Jonas Mekas, Patricio Guzmán, Ken Loach, Bill Morrison, Fernando Trueba, Wim Wenders, and appearances by Martin Scorsese, Barbara Rubin, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Ridley Scott, and Ousmane Sembene. Together, they explore what film preservation is and why it is still so important to preserve celluloid, even in an increasingly digital world. Thanks to the tireless work of these film professionals, many of whom work unrecognized behind the scenes, we are still able to watch films that are more than 125 years old. FILM, THE LIVING RECORD OF OUR MEMORY highlights the unique challenges of maintaining film, the cultural and political barriers to preservation, and the surprising risks of digital preservation. This work is critical because, as the film explains, so much of this heritage has already been lost forever.

Author Peren, Maggie, Berlin, Jonathan, Hofmann, Louis, Wedler, Luna, Gummich, Nina,
Summary Berlin, 1942. Cioma Schönhaus is a young Jewish man who won't let anyone take away his zest for life, especially not the Nazis. Since the best hiding spots are in plain sight, Cioma audaciously adopts the identity of a marine officer to escape being deported like his family before him. Drawing on his art school background, he joins a network of underground rescuers and becomes infamous for his masterfully forged IDs - created with just a brush, some ink, and a steady hand - that save the lives of hundreds of Jews by allowing them to escape the country. Meanwhile, he throws himself into the city's nightlife and even finds a fragile hope for love during the darkest moments of the war. His talent and propensity for boldness puts him in more and more danger, however, until his only chance of survival is one last forged document - with his own name on it. Based on a true story.

Title The Strange Little Cat.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Zürcher, Ramon, Kasalo, Mia, Strechel, Anjorka, Schily, Jenny, Alan Beiersdorf , Leon,
Summary Siblings Karin and Simon are visiting their parents and their little sister Clara. That evening, other relatives will be joining them for dinner. This sequence of family scenes in a Berlin flat creates a wondrous world of the everyday: Coming and going, conversations, all manner of doings, each movement leading to the next, one word following another. It is a carefully staged chain reaction of actions and sentences. And in between, silent gazes and anecdotes about experiences. Putting the absurdities of daily life on display, the film assembles seemingly unspectacular details and snippets into an exciting choreography of everyday life. Nominated for Best First Feature and Best Undistributed Film in the **Indiewire** Critics' Poll. "*A fresh and original debut that is purely pleasurable*." - Stephen Dalton, ***Hollywood Reporter***

Summary Marine mammals did not evolve from marine species. Rather, they evolved from land mammals who found a plethora of "suddenly" open ecological niches when the dinosaurs became extinct. Today's marine mammals might resemble each other because convergent evolution has led to similar adaptation. But best as scientists can tell, they have five separate lineages and no single common ancestor.

Summary Hailed around the world as one of the greatest movies ever made, the **Academy Award-winning** BICYCLE THIEVES, directed by Vittorio De Sica, defined an era in cinema. In poverty-stricken postwar Rome, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle, which he needs for work, is stolen. With his young son in tow, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and profoundly rich in human insight, BICYCLE THIEVES embodies the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity, social rectitude, and brutal honesty.

Summary Marcello Mastroianni plays Guido Anselmi, a director whose new project is collapsing around him, along with his life. One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini's *8 ½* (*Otto e mezzo*) turns one man's artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema.

Summary Not surprisingly, deep-diving marine mammals have evolved a physiology very different than our own. Adaptations including those related to blood chemistry, the location of stored oxygen, a variable heart rate, and articulated rib cages support the ability to go deep and stay long. But what about rising back up to the surface? How do they avoid getting "the bends"?

Summary Sound travels much better in water than in air. In fact, low-frequency waves, such as those produced by certain whales, can travel through water uninterrupted for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, allowing the animals to be "in touch" with their group over vast distances. But what happens when human-generated sound gets in the way?

Summary Two things are clear: Almost all marine food webs are based on microscopic photosynthesizers, and only a small fraction of the energy available at any trophic level becomes available to the next level. Adaptations such as baleen, ventral pleats, and unique tooth morphology allows these large animals to meet their energy needs.

Author Great Courses, The, K. Todd, Sean, The Great Courses (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary With plastic and nylon lines and nets becoming common in the last century, by-catch became an even greater problem for the marine mammals. When the media picked up the story in the mid-1960s, the public became engaged, and the Marine Mammal Protection Act was passed in 1972. But whale entanglement remains a problem, and some argue that even whaling was far less cruel.

Summary Semi-aquatic marine mammals exhibit behaviors quite different than those who live fully in the water. In the former, an entire female community in one geographic area can come into estrus simultaneously and needs relatively few males to reproduce. In the latter, reproduction appears to be one of the driving forces of whale songs that can be heard over thousands of kilometers.

Summary From individual whales that corral their confused prey to highly coordinated bubble-net feeding and aunts who "babysit," marine mammals have developed an extraordinary variety of social and hunting behaviors developed over millions of years. If the energy expenditure does not support the goal of passing on genetic material, natural selection will eventually drop the adaptation.

Summary With 60 million years of evolution on their side, marine mammals have adapted to the widest possible variety of marine ecological niches. Some live only in rivers or lakes, others only in waters over the continental shelves, and some in the open ocean. A few are even adapted to live at the poles.

Summary Over and over, humans have behaved as if a given resource were inexhaustible. That was certainly the case with worldwide industrial whaling of the early 20th century, when six species of whales were hunted to dangerously low numbers. In the near future, as their populations continue to recover, some countries are expected to promote a resumption of the commercial whale hunt.

Summary Although the irony is unmistakable, our understanding of marine mammals increased tremendously by having access to carcasses during the years of industrial whaling. Today, we focus on species protection while learning as much as we can via SCUBA, SONAR, tagging, biopsy darts, photo-identification, studying animals in captivity, and examining stranded individuals when available.

The results are potentially catastrophic - both to marine life and to our own health. But there is a bit of light at the end of this tunnel, and it depends in part on our own daily actions.

Title Stateless.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Stephenson, Michèle, Women Make Movies (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary In 1937, tens of thousands of Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent were exterminated by the Dominican army, based on anti-black hatred fomented by the Dominican government. Fast-forward to 2013, the Dominican Republic's Supreme Court stripped the citizenship of anyone with Haitian parents, retroactive to 1929. The ruling rendered more than 200,000 people stateless, without nationality, identity or a homeland. In this dangerous climate, a young attorney named Rosa Iris mounts a grassroots campaign, challenging electoral corruption and advocating for social justice. Director Michèle Stephenson's new documentary Stateless traces the complex tributaries of history and present-day politics, as state-sanctioned racism seeps into mundane offices, living room meetings, and street protests. At a time when extremist ideologies are gaining momentum in the U.S. and around the world, STATELESS is a warning of what can happen in a society when racism runs rampant in the government.

In this innovative cinematic exercise that blends fiction and nonfiction, director Chase Joynt (No Ordinary Man) uses Agnes's story, along with others unearthed in long-shelved case files, to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed. This collective reclamation breaks down the myth of isolation among transgender history-makers, breathing new life into a lineage of collaborators and conspirators who have been forgotten for far too long.

Title Fighting Indians.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Ellis, Derek, G. Cooley, Mark, Video Project (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary On May 16, 2019, the state of Maine made history by passing LD 944 An Act to Ban Native American Mascots in All Public Schools, the first legislation of its kind in the country. For Maine's tribal nations, the landmark legislation marked an end to a decades long struggle to educate the public on the harms of Native American mascotry. FIGHTING INDIANS chronicles the last and most contentious holdout in that struggle, the homogeneously white Skowhegan High School, known for decades as "The Home of the Indians". This is the story of a small New England community forced to reckon with its identity, its sordid history, and its future relationship with their indigenous neighbors. The film serves as a microcosm for a host of national divisions, as the "mascot debate" exposes centuries old abuses while questioning whether reconciliation is possible.

Title Hazing.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Hurt, Byron, Media Education Foundation (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary From award-winning filmmaker Byron Hurt, HAZING offers a deeply personal look inside the culture, tradition, and secrecy surrounding hazing rituals in fraternities and sororities, sports teams, marching bands, the military and beyond. In the film, Hurt, who belongs to a fraternity himself, talks to members of Black and historically white Greek-letter organizations and other groups that practice hazing, and gives voice to survivors of severe initiation rituals and the families of those who lost their lives. Expertly weaving these first-hand testimonies with insights from violence-prevention experts, the film provides a nuanced and empathetic portrait of a culture that can confer a sense of belonging even as it too often leads to violence, sexual degradation, binge drinking, institutional coverups, and debased notions of manhood. HAZING is an extraordinary teaching tool for educators and advocates working to reform hazing culture and combat violence - especially those interested in intersectional, bystander-based violence prevention approaches.

Now the film, UNTIL WE ARE FREE, tells her story of courage and defiance in the face of a government out to destroy her, her family, and her mission: to bring justice to the people and the country she loves. Best known in this country as the lawyer working tirelessly on behalf of Canadian photojournalist, Zara Kazemi. UNTIL WE ARE FREE tells of the struggle of one woman against the system. The Iranian government would end up taking everything from Shirin Ebadi- her marriage, her home, her legal career, even her Nobel Prize- but the one thing it could never steal was her spirit to fight for justice and a better future. This is the amazing, at times harrowing, simply astonishing story of a woman who would never give up, no matter the risks.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Ahlmark, Nicholas, Swyer, Nick, TVF (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary Throughout the 80's and 90's Japan was a global force in video games, with mega hits in the gaming arcades such as Pac Man, before dominating the console market through Nintendo and Sega with iconic games such as Mario and Sonic. By 1995, Japan controlled 80% of the global console market and 50% of the global video game market. However, today Japan controls just 10% of the global video game market, with stiff competition arising in the form of eSports and mobile gaming, as well as regional competition from Korea and China which has re-shaped the gaming universe. But Japan is not taking things lying down. With new developments in the past few years including the highly popular Nintendo Switch, and new gaming favourites such as Animal Crossing, Japan is making a strong comeback. Featuring gaming experts and enthusiasts from around the world, as well as cutting-edge graphics and diverse gaming footage, we explore the incredible rise and fall of Japan's gaming industry, as well as the road to its promising return.

Title Fly So Far.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Escher, Celina, Women Make Movies (Firm), Kanopy (Firm),
Summary As states in the U.S. enact abortion bans, FLY SO FAR serves as a grave warning of how far government control of women's bodies can go. This brave film from Swiss-Salvadorean filmmaker Celina Escher is set in El Salvador, a country with some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world, including the criminalization of those who experience miscarriages and other obstetric emergencies. The narrative centers on Teodora Vásquez, who was in the ninth month of her second pregnancy when she fainted and suffered a stillbirth. When she woke up at the hospital, she was accused of murder and was sentenced to thirty years in prison for aggravated homicide. At Ilopango Women's Prison, she becomes the spokesperson for The Seventeen, a group of working-class women who were all incarcerated after having miscarriages. Many of these same women became pregnant after being sexually assaulted. While it exposes brutal human rights abuses, FLY SO FAR is unmistakably a story of collective resistance, activism, sisterhood, as well as the self-determination and agency of women.

Title American Trial: The Eric Garner Story.

2024-05-17T03:18:08Z

Author Messinger, Roee, Dershowitz, Allan, Altieri, Anthony, Mckesson, DeRay, Snipes Garner, Esaw,
Summary The idea is powerfully simple: engage the services of two actual legal teams to create a rigorous, legally based fictional-yet unscripted-trial that never happened for one of the nation's most disturbing recent tragedies. The accused is Officer Daniel Pantaleo (only recently fired by New York City Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill), charged in the July 17, 2014 death of Eric Garner with reckless manslaughter and strangulation in the first degree. The judge is played by a seasoned defense lawyer, while the officer is played by the only actor in the cast (Anthony Altieri). Eyewitnesses, bystanders, friends, and his widow, Esaw Snipes, all come to testify; meanwhile, credible expert witnesses who would have likely been called to testify in a real trial provide their testimonies for both the prosecution and the defense to create fair judicial proceedings.

His impact on cinema culture in the United States is inestimable, and his influence on the art film business-from the studio classics divisions to the independent film movement to the rise of the Weinsteins-is undeniable. Yet, mysteriously, Rugoff has become a virtually forgotten figure. The story is told through the eyes of former employee Ira Deutchman, who sets out to find the truth about the man who had such a major impact on his life, and to understand how such an important figure could have disappeared so completely.
