Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the People
At a time of daily attacks on the news media with claims of fake news, and when journalism is being suppressed around the world, Joseph Pulitzer’s words and story resonate more deeply than ever. Over one hundred years ago he presciently said: “Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together.”
In this landmark film by director Oren Rudavsky (Colliding Dreams, A Life Apart), Adam Driver is the narrator and Liev Schreiber is the voice of Joseph Pulitzer. Together, they bring to life the virtually unknown man whose name is attached to the Pulitzer Prizes for excellence in journalism. More >>

Chasing Portraits
Moshe Rynecki was a prolific Warsaw-based artist who painted scenes of the Polish-Jewish community until he was murdered during the Holocaust. After the war, Moshe’s wife was only able to recover a small fraction of his work, but unbeknownst to the family, many other pieces survived.
For more than a decade his great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Rynecki, has searched for the missing art, with unexpected success. Spanning three generations, Chasing Portraits is a deeply moving look at the richness of one man’s art, the devastation of war, and one woman’s unexpected path to healing. More >>

Before Stonewall
Newly restored for the 50th Anniversary
of the Stonewall Riots!
In 1969 the police raided the Stonewall Inn, leading to three nights of rioting by New York's gay community. With this outpouring of courage and unity the gay liberation movement had begun. Before Stonewall pries open the closet door, setting free the dramatic story of the public and private existences experienced by LGBT Americans since the early 1900's. Revealing and humorous, this legendary film relives the emotionally-charged sparking of today's gay rights movement, from the events
that led to the fevered riots to many other milestones in the brave fight for acceptance. More >>Opens New York June 21 • Opens Los Angeles June 28
