After moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence only he can see, perceives phantasmagoric warnings from a long-dead dog, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death. When Todd begins succumbing to the dark forces swirling around the house, Indy must battle a malevolence intent on dragging his beloved Todd into the afterlife.

Orwell: 2+2=5

Directed by: Raoul Peck
Studio: NEON

From Academy Award®-nominated and BAFTA-winning director, Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro), Orwell is the definitive feature-length documentary on visionary author George Orwell, with the exclusive cooperation of the Orwell Estate. ‍”Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past…,” wrote Orwell in his novel, 1984. Today, the “newspeak” of authoritarian rule is alive and well and in unexpected places, from the rise of AI Chatbot to the Russian propaganda machine, from the marketing webs of commercial metaverses to the political banning of books in the Southern United States. Peck’s “Orwell” will use George Orwell’s life, work and legacy as a maverick iconoclastic writer to jam the signals of the algorithms gone rogue which, in the name of personal freedom, threaten to close our minds to a greater possibility.

The Librarians

Directed by: Kim A. Snyder
Studio: Independent Lens

Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities. In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia+ stories — triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of White Christian Nationalism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work — the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.

The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue

Directed by: Barry Avrich
Studio: Cineplex Pictures

One of the world’s greatest singers, Andrea Bocelli has a voice that transcends genres and generations. In this intimate portrait of the acclaimed Italian tenor, Bocelli, for the first time, tells his story in his own words. Documentarian Cosima Spender follows Bocelli with unprecedented access beyond the footlights to reveal an uncompromising artist and devoted family man with a fearless passion for living. Despite losing his sight at age 12, Bocelli dedicated his life to music and, after years spent entertaining customers in piano bars, caught the attention of the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, who heard Bocelli’s voice on a demo tape. Bocelli’s life changed dramatically with the worldwide smash hit “Time to Say Goodbye,” his astonishing duet with Sarah Brightman that catapulted him to superstardom. With hard-fought technical mastery of his voice and his decades-long love of opera — “music’s heaven” — Bocelli would go on to perform on the world’s most prestigious stages and with diverse singing partners such as Céline Dion, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa. Through interviews, archival performance footage, and informal gatherings with family and friends, Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe celebrates the voice — and man — who continues to touch the hearts of millions of listeners around the world.

Trains

Directed by: Maciej J. Drygas
Studio: EPF Media

TRAINS is a found-footage documentary composed entirely of archive footage and sound design that creates a collective portrait of people in 20th century Europe, capturing their hopes, desires, dramas and tragedies. A train compartment is a place where people are taken out of their everyday context for a while. Sometimes the journey is accompanied by the hope that something will change in our lives upon reaching the destination, or conversely, by a stark absence of hope. And yet the history of the 20th century unfolds in railway carriages in a repetitive refrain. Every few years, hauntingly similar scenes play out in railway stations around the world: carriages full of men leaving for war, only to return wounded or as casualties. This cycle is followed by an exodus of civilians, evacuees mingling with prisoners of war returning from camps, and soldiers of victorious armies leading the defeated, until ordinary passengers reappear at stations.
