AGAINST THE CURRENT

NOW IN THEATERS AND VIRTUAL CINEMAS

How far do you have to travel to find yourself? And what sacrifices are you willing to make to get there? Veiga Grétarsdóttir is the first person in the world to attempt to kayak over 2,000 kilometers around Iceland, counter-clockwise and “against the current.” This achievement has been said to be comparable to climbing the mountain K2. Veiga’s personal journey is no less remarkable. 

 

IN BALANCHINE'S CLASSROOM

COMING TO THEATERS AND VIRTUAL CINEMAS SEPTEMBER 17

Filled with never before seen archival footage of George Balanchine at work during rehearsals, classes, and in preparation for his most seminal works, IN BALANCHINE’S CLASSROOM takes us back to the glory years of Balanchine’s New York City Ballet through the remembrances of his former dancers and their quest to fulfill the vision of a genius. This is Balanchine as you have never seen him, and a film for anyone who loves ballet and the creative process.  

 

MY WONDERFUL WANDA

NOW IN VIRTUAL CINEMAS

In this winningly humane dramatic comedy, Wanda, a Polish single mother, works as the live-in caretaker of a rich Swiss businessman who is recovering from a stroke at his sumptuous lakeside family villa. Being a no-nonsense pragmatist, Wanda makes extra cash by servicing him sexually. When she becomes pregnant, the haut-bourgeois Swiss family comes apart at the seams.
