7 MINUTES Filmmaker at the NoHo Opening Night

by

7 MINUTES, which premiered at the 2014 Austin Film Festival, follows three desperate young men who are forced by circumstance to commit a brazen robbery. As each minute of the event unfolds, true motives are revealed and stakes intensify. What begins as a simple plan – ‘in and out in seven minutes’ – quickly becomes a dangerous game of life and death.

7 MINUTES writer-director Jay Martin will participate in a Q&A after the 7:30 screening at the NoHo on Friday, June 26. The Q&A will be moderated by Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, (500) Days of Summer).

We’ll be hosting Q&A’s after the 7:40 PM screenings of THE WANTED 18 at the NoHo this Friday and Saturday, June 19 and 20 and after the 5:30 show on Sunday, June 21:

REVENGE OF THE MEKONS Filmmaker and Rico Bell of the Mekons in Person at the Playhouse, Royal and NoHo.

by

The acclaimed new documentary Revenge of the Mekons charts the unlikely career of the genre-defying collective notorious for being—as rock critic Greil Marcus notes—“the band that took punk ideology most seriously.” Born out of the 1977 British punk scene, the Mekons progressed from a group of socialist art students with no musical skills to the prolific, raucous progeny of Hank Williams. Joe Angio’s exuberant documentary follows their improbable history and reveals how punk’s reigning contrarians continue to make bold, unpredictable music.

Revenge of the Mekons filmmaker Joe Angio will participate in Q&A’s after the 9:55 PM screenings at the Playhouse on Friday, June 19 as well as the 7:30 PM screenings at the NoHo 7 on Monday, June 22 and at the Royal on Tuesday, June 23. Rico Bell of the Mekons will join him for the NoHo and Royal screenings.

Acclaimed Australian film CHARLIE’S COUNTRY Opens this Weekend. Director in Attendance for Q&A’s.

by

Living in a remote Aboriginal community in Australia, Charlie is a warrior past his prime. As the government increases its stranglehold over the community’s traditional way of life, Charlie feels lost between two cultures. His modern life offers him a way to survive but, ultimately, feeling helpless. Finally fed up when his gun, spear and his best friend’s jeep are confiscated, Charlie heads into the wild on his own, to live the old way.

CHARLIE’S COUNTRY director Rolf de Heer will participate in Q&A’s after the 7:30 PM screenings at the Music Hall on Friday and Saturday, June 12 and 13. Chris Schwartz, manager of the AFI Conservatory, will serve as moderator.

ONE CUT, ONE LIFE Q&A with Filmmakers Opening Night at the Music Hall

by

When seminal documentary filmmaker Ed Pincus, considered the father of first-person nonfiction film, was diagnosed with a terminal illness, he and his collaborator Lucia Small teamed up to make one last film. One Cut, One Life is an intense, unflinchingly honest, and sometimes humorous exploration of the human condition that invites the viewer to contemplate what is important, not only at the end of life, but through all phases of live and creative pursuits.

We open One Cut, One Life at the Music Hall on Friday, June 12. Co-director Lucia Small and executive producer Neal Baer will participate in a Q&A after the 7:20 PM screening that night.

UNCERTAIN TERMS Filmmakers in Person at the Music Hall this Weekend

by

We’ll be opening UNCERTAIN TERMS, the terrific new film from rising American independent director Nathan Silver this Friday at the Music Hall. The story follows Robbie (David Dahlbom), who, after catching his wife with another guy, flees Brooklyn for the countryside to stay with his neurotic aunt. She runs a home for pregnant teenagers and as the only man in the house, Robbie inadvertently becomes the object of the girls’ attention… and affection. He eventually meets Nina, (India Menuez) who is mature beyond her age and struggling with relationship troubles of her own. The more Robbie and Nina get to know each other, the more “complicated” their friendship becomes. In his Village Voice review, Alan Scherstuhl described UNCERTAIN TERMS as “brisk, brief, well acted, smartly crafted, and shrewdly judged…[the director] does nothing less than put on the screen life as it’s lived.”

UNCERTAIN TERMS writer-producer Chloe Domont and producer Josh Mandel will introduce the 10 PM screenings at the Music Hall on Friday and Saturday, June 5 and 6.

SEEDS OF TIME Filmmaker Sandy McLeod and Agriculture Pioneer Cary Fowler in Person at the Music Hall Opening Weekend

by

A perfect storm is brewing as agriculture pioneer Cary Fowler races to protect the future of our food. Seed banks around the world are crumbling, crop failures are producing starvation and riots, and the accelerating effects of climate change are affecting farmers globally. Communities of Peruvian farmers try desperately to save over 1,500 varieties of native potato in their fields. With no time to waste, they begin passionate and personal journeys that may save the one resource we cannot live without: our seeds.

SEEDS OF TIME documents all of this. We open the film at the Music Hall on Friday, May 29. Filmmaker Sandy McLeod and Cary Fowler, the film’s subject, will appear in person for Q&A’s after the 7 PM screenings at the Music Hall on Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30.
