How can we connect to our natural, primal spirit while modern society threatens to erase it?
OVERLAND is a stunning, stirring, and cinematic journey shot across four continents that twists and turns like nature itself, bridging ancient to modern, east to west, and earth to sky. The film follows the stories of three falconers, “Jedi Knights of Nature,” each facing a unique set of challenges as they pursue their passion for the ancient art of partnering with birds of prey. Lauren, a daredevil anthropologist from Oklahoma, trains injured eagles to fly and hunt while scouring the world for age-old falconry secrets. Giovanni fled a troubled childhood in Rome for a solitary life in the Italian countryside with his wolves, hawks, and horse. Meanwhile, in Dubai, Khalifa is training to be the world’s best falcon racer. As each of these stories unfolds; eagles, falcons, and hawks play a critical role in helping their human partners keep the wild from fading out of sight and out of mind..
Initially, the film made its debut this past April at the Tribeca Film Festival, followed by nationwide screenings in July. The project showcases Anastasio as he prepares for Phish’s Baker’s Dozen residency, New Year’s Eve 2017-2018 and his recent Ghosts of the Forest LP.
Steven Cantor's documentary follows NYC Ballet principal performer Tiler Peck on her journey as director and lead performer for "Ballet Now" at the LA Music Center. The film is a tribute to the talent and passion of artists working together to create a profound act of harmony.

What is Rigged?
What would happen if some political operatives tried to subvert the sacred American principle of “one person, one vote?” What if they hatched and pursued that plan for years before anyone noticed what they were doing? That is the frightening tale told in a new feature documentary, Rigged: The Voter Suppression Playbook. Narrated by Jeffrey Wright, and shot during the chaotic 2016 election, the film identifies and unpacks a shrewd ten-part strategy developed by Republicans to suppress votes that would be cast against them.
Rigged’s narrator, Jeffrey Wright, is an award-winning actor, who gained critical acclaim for his legendary performances as Belize in both the Broadway and HBO productions of Angels in America. His roles include: Jean-Michel Basquiat in Basquiat, Colin Powell in Oliver Stone’s W., Dr. Valentin Narcisse in Boardwalk Empire, and currently stars as Bernard Lowe on HBO’s Westworld.

NY Docs
WORLD PREMIERE In the 1970s, the Bronx was on fire. Left unprotected by the city government, nearly a half-million people were displaced as their close-knit, multiethnic neighborhood burned, reducing the community to rubble. While insidious government policies caused the devastation, Black and Latino residents bore the blame. In this story of hope and resistance, Bronx native Vivian Vazquez exposes the truth about the borough’s sordid history and reveals how her embattled and maligned community chose to resist, remain and rebuild.

Stepping gets its time in the spotlight with new Sundance documentary STEP.
Praised by critics, the film follows a Baltimore girls' high schoool step team as they use sisterhood and determination to conquer the obstacles in their way.
In the exclusive first look at the film's trailer, we see the girls set goals to graduate and attend college, chase their dream of winning a step championship, and find unity and support in each other, teachers, family, coaches, and friends.
It's almost impossible to make it through the trailer without getting a little teary-eyed and feeling inspired.
STEP is set to hit theaters August 4.

In a nation that has the highest youth incarceration rate in the world, and where 70% percent of youth in lock-up return to jail as adults, it’s clear that our system is broken and desperately needs fixing. LIKE ANY OTHER KID is a cinema vérité documentary film that brings audiences deep inside juvenile incarceration facilities that use the Missouri approach, a treatment program in which staff provides the simple basics of structure, guidance, and kindness to incarcerated youth. LIKE ANY OTHER KID follows the relationships between youth and the staff who care for them in Morgan Hill, California, Bridge City, Louisiana, and New York City, New York over the course of two years. Audiences will get to know the kids intimately: their lives before jail, their relationships and struggles, and their hopes and dreams for the future. Viewers will also get to know the unsung heroes in these children’s lives: the staff, who work with them 24-7, forging the most trusting relationships many of these kids have ever had. LIKE ANY OTHER KID will show us the great potential of America’s incarcerated youth if we let them be just that: like any other kid.

Hilda, directed and written by Kiira Benzing. (USA) - World Premiere. Hilda is a realist tribute to octogenarian New Yorker artist Hilda O'Connell who lived shoulder-to-shoulder with the great Abstract Expressionist painters in the '50s and became a member of the Aegis Gallery in the '60s.
This investigative documentary film shows what is going on in Taiji, a small fishing village in Japan, after 2010’s The Cove, also a documentary that brought international attention to this village. The Cove featured a dolphin trainer who woke up to the fact that a whale is a mammal with feelings and that knows pain, and who went on to become an animal rights activist. The activists and the filmmakers (who won an Academy Award) spread out over the world the name of Taiji, where cruel whale hunting was ongoing. A Whale of a Tale is the sequel to The Cove, but it does not just regard Taiji from the viewpoint of Western activists; it listens to the Taiji villagers as well. Taiji has become a hot spot for anti-whaling activists, often militant, and cameras and binoculars now flock to the village in whaling season. The villagers claim that a whale is a precious resource for the village, once scarce of food, and that they perform a ritual for whales after the traditional hunt. Focusing on a place where provocative remarks are exchanged and the traditional culture conflicts with ethics, the film tries to say that understanding each other and having conversations is the true solution to the conflict. Still, there seems to be a long road to resolution and in the meantime, life is being slaughtered. (Minah JEONG – BIFF Catalogue 2016)

Mary Lou Williams: The Lady Who Swings the Band– Q&A after the screening
From child prodigy to “Boogie-Woogie Queen” to groundbreaking composer to mentoring some of the greatest musicians of all time, Mary Lou Williams never ceased to astound those who heard her play. But away from the piano, Williams was a woman in a “man’s world,” a black person in a “whites only” society, an ambitious artist who dared to be different, and who struggled against the imperatives of being a “star.” Above all, she did not fit the (still) prevailing notions of where genius comes from or what it looks like. Time and again, she pushed back against a world that said, “You can’t” and said, “I can.” It nearly cost her everything.

As a black woman who was a feminist before the term was invented, Daisy Bates refused to accept her assigned place in society. Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock tells the story of her life and public support of nine black students who registered to attend the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, which culminated in a constitutional crisis—pitting a president against a governor and a community against itself. Unconventional, revolutionary, and egotistical, Daisy Bates reaped the rewards of instant fame, but paid dearly for it.
