The Act of Killing
In this revolting but revelatory film, Indonesian death-squad leaders re-enact
mass killings in their cinematic genre of choice.
20 Feet from Stardom
The great voices behind the hit singles of the past 40 years get their chance to
talk, and sing.
Leviathan
Set on a fishing boat off the New England coast, Leviathan is an
entirely wordless montage of footage assembled from digital cameras on the boat
– a horror show of mechanized murder as avant-garde cinema.
The Gatekeepers
Six former heads of Shin Bet, the Israeli anti-terrorism and intelligence
agency, talk candidly about Israeli’s past and (to their minds) precarious
future in provocative, sometimes self-damning testimony.
Let the Fire Burn
A dozen years in the making, this film ignites history by using archival footage
to reconstruct how the Philadelphia police bombed the headquarters of the black
group MOVE, killing five children and destroying more than 60 houses.
