“Dolores” will tell the true story of Sylvin Rubinstein, whose Russian mother was forced to moved with him and his twin sister Maria to Poland in 1917. Initially poor, he and his sister shot to fame in the 1930s, becoming flamenco superstars as the dancing act Imperio y Dolores and touring Europe and the world, including shows in London, New York and Melbourne.

Films Boutique has acquired Marc Bauder’s cinematic documentary “Who We Were,” which is set to world premiere in the “Berlinale Special” section of the Berlin Film Festival.
“Who We Were” observes the current state of the world and postulates about the future through intense encounters with six intellectuals and scientists, including the astronaut Alexander Gerst, the deep sea researcher Sylvia Earle, the molecular biologist and buddhist monk Mathieu Ricard, the economist Dennis Snower, the philosopher and sociologist Felwine Sarr and the philosopher and critical posthumanist Janina Loh.
Bauder follows his interviewees into the depths of the ocean, to the top of the world, and out into the far reaches of space. Together, they explore the incredible capabilities of the human brain, a global economic summit, the legacy of colonization, and the feelings of a robot.

Along with the upcoming arrival of 8½, Criterion has also announced Blu-ray and DVD releases for Steven Soderbergh's Che and Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas. Details on these three titles are detailed below, but don't go yet there is a little more...
