HIVE

COMING TO THEATERS AND VIRTUAL CINEMAS NOVEMBER 5

Sundance triple award winner HIVE is a searing drama based on the true story of Fahrije, who has battled grief and financial struggle since her husband went missing during the war in Kosovo. In hope of providing for her family, she launches a business selling hot pepper preserves, a controversial act of independence that scandalizes her patriarchal village. Amid doubts of her husband’s return, she struggles not only to keep her family afloat but against a hostile community who seeks to violently undermine the independence and sisterhood she is determined to gain.

 

 

IN BALANCHINE'S CLASSROOM

NOW IN THEATERS AND VIRTUAL CINEMAS

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.  

 

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. 

 

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.

M.C. ESCHER: JOURNEY TO INFINITY
