- DirectorChristopher CoppolaStarsBarbara BainMarc CoppolaEsteban PowellDaring to tread in the footsteps of Billy Wilder, Paul Morrissey and Andrew Lloyd Webber, Christopher Coppola's tongue-in-cheek spin on SUNSET BOULEVARD stars brother Marc (a ringer for third sibling Nicolas Cage, an executive producer here) as a pizza delivery guy who dreams of recapturing his onetime glory as a child television star. Delivering a pie, he's adopted as protégé and sex toy by a wealthy, retired broadcast executive (Barbara Bain, who starred on the original 1960s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE series). While this appears to be a stroke of good fortune, it increasingly becomes more of a curse for our hapless hero.

- DirectorLarry JordanIf there is such an old-fashioned thing as "stream of consciousness" in cinema, I suppose this is it. It certainly felt like a flowing stream or river while I was editing day after day, fitting found-sound to found (out-take) footage accumulated over almost sixty years of filmmaking. All the images and sounds buried on reels and spools in the studio came into the light. I felt singularly blessed to be making a non-linear visual autobiography; for it is a fact that most of my life in film is there. The one guiding principle for the construction of the film was the ancient Russian proposal: "instead of canned plays, see a rose, hear a bomb." - Lawrence Jordan

- DirectorDaniel NearingStarsAndre TrussKeisha DysonJay DeVon JohnsonIn 1919, Hart Crane said of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio: "America should read this book on her knees. It is a chapter in the Bible of her consciousness." The Last Soul on a Summer Night is a contemporary reinterpretation of the antique narrative with an African American cast and a dash of ecstatic reality. This critically acclaimed adaptation of one of the most highly regarded books in the history of American literature, tells the story, almost in mythical fashion, of lost and lonely souls taken to a Chicago Heights boarding house where layfolk and churchfolk alike struggle with their personal demons. It is a journey of self discovery where a man takes a truth to himself...
