Zodiac Killer Project - Charlie Shackleton Cover Art

Zodiac Killer Project

Zodiac Killer Project

Filmmaker Charlie Shackleton was hot on the trail of the next great American true crime documentary—a riveting account of a highway patrolman's quixotic effort to identify and capture the infamous Zodiac Killer. Shackleton devised a plan, began collecting interviews, and shot “evocative B-roll” footage of ghostly California freeways and parking lots where the killer may have once lurked. And then the project fell apart, leaving Shackleton with fragments of the unfinished film and time to ruminate on shortcuts and signifiers of the ubiquitous genre. Zodiac Killer Project emerges from the ash heap to probe and deconstruct the form with the incisive eye of a true crime connoisseur. A witty and beautifully assembled deep dive into our obsession with serial killers and the stories we tell about them, Shackleton’s resuscitation of his abandoned film follows in the free-range footsteps of documentary philosophers Errol Morris, Werner Herzog, and Joshua Oppenheimer.

When We Were Kings - Leon Gast Cover Art

When We Were Kings

When We Were Kings

In 1974, Leon Gast traveled to Africa to film Zaïre 74, a music festival planned to accompany an unprecedented sports spectacle: the Rumble in the Jungle, in which late-career underdog Muhammad Ali would contend with the younger powerhouse George Foreman for the boxing heavyweight championship title—“a fight between two blacks in a black nation, organized by blacks,” as a Kinshasa billboard put it. When the main event was delayed, extending Ali’s stay in Africa, Gast wound up amassing a treasure trove of footage, observing the wildly charismatic athlete training for one of the toughest bouts of his career while basking in his role as black America’s proud ambassador to postcolonial Africa. Two decades in the making, WHEN WE WERE KINGS features interviews with Norman Mailer and George Plimpton that illustrate the sensational impact of the fight, rounding out an Academy Award–winning portrait of Ali that captures his charm, grace, and defiance.

David Lynch: The Art Life

David Lynch: The Art Life looks at Lynch’s art, music, and early films, shining a light into the dark corners of his unique world and giving audiences a better understanding of the man and the artist. As he says, “I think every time you do something, like a painting or whatever, you go with ideas, and sometimes the past can conjure those ideas and color them. Even if they’re new ideas, the past colors them.” We’re invited in and given private views from Lynch’s compound and painting studio in the hills high above Hollywood, as he tells personal stories that unfold like scenes from his films. Strange characters come into focus only to fade again into the past, all leaving an indelible mark.

Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters - James Fox Cover Art

Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters

Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters

For the first time in history, a neurosurgeon recounts face-to-face communication with a live alien held in captivity. In response to extraordinary developments since the film’s original 2022 release, director James Fox presents an expanded edition of Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters. This new version explores the most compelling eyewitness testimony yet: a neurosurgeon’s claim of direct interaction with a captured non-human being in Varginha, during the 1996 event often called the Roswell of Brazil. The revelation coincides with stunning events in the United States, where multiple open congressional hearings on the UAP phenomenon brought senior intelligence officials to publicly acknowledge a long-running, secret UFO crash-retrieval program — including shocking allegations of recovered alien craft and bodies. Fox traveled to Washington, D. C. , to attend these hearings and secured exclusive commentary from aerospace engineer and first-hand crash retrieval and recovered biologics evidence witness, Dr. Eric Davis. Now, for the first time in history, head neurosurgeon from the Regional Hospital in Varginha, Dr. Italo Venturelli, comes forward to describe a four-minute interaction with the captured entity. While in Varginha, Fox’s team also recorded new interviews with the city’s former police chief, forensic pathologists, and other key witnesses, expanding the investigation into one of the most extraordinary cases of alleged extraterrestrial contact ever documented.

The Alpinist - Peter Mortimer & Nick Rosen Cover Art

The Alpinist

The Alpinist

As the sport of climbing turns from a niche pursuit to mainstream media event, Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Marc-André's approach is the essence of solo adventure. Intrigued by these quiet accomplishments, veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer (The Dawn Wall) sets out to make a film about Marc-André. But the Canadian soloist is an elusive subject: nomadic and publicity-shy, he doesn't own a phone or car and is reluctant to let the film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. As Peter struggles to keep up, Marc-André's climbs grow bigger and more daring. Elite climbers are amazed by his accomplishments, while others worry that he is risking too much. Then, Marc-André embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing. The Alpinist is an intimate documentary of a visionary climber who follows the path of his own passion, despite the heaviest of possible consequences.

In Whose Name?

In Whose Name?

In Whose Name? is an unfiltered, six-year chronicle of life inside the orbit of Kanye West (Ye), captured by 18-year-old filmmaker Nicolas Ballesteros. With no crew and no agenda, Nico records the rise, unraveling, and reinvention of one of the most polarizing cultural figures of our time. What begins as silent observation turns into a profound journey as Ye confronts mental illness, public scrutiny, the collapse of his marriage, and the volatility of fame. Through 3, 000 hours of never-before-seen footage, the film strips away spectacle and exposes raw humanity—offering an unprecedented look at Ye’s battles with faith, pride, identity, grief, and legacy. More than a portrait of a controversial icon, this is a dual coming-of-age story - an unsparing look at creation, collapse and the blurry line between the two.

A work that combines documentary, autobiography, and ethical inquiry, Cameraperson is a moving glimpse into one filmmaker’s personal journey and a thoughtful examination of what it means to train a camera on the world.

The juxtaposition between the intimacy of these domestic reports and the lonely, bleakly beautiful cityscapes results in a poignant reflection on personal and familial disconnection that doubles as a transfixing time capsule.

Sydney Pollack's first feature-length documentary focuses on acclaimed architect Frank O. Gehry. Beginning with the architect's own original sketches for each major project, the film explores Gehry's process of turning these abstract drawings first into three-dimensional models, often made simply of cardboard and tape, then into finished buildings of titanium and glass, concrete and steel, wood and stone. While the intimate dialogue between the two old friends courses like a continuous melodic line through the film, Pollack captures the grandeur of Gehry's architecture-from his earliest building, a hay barn, to what are now recognized as some of the great buildings of the modern era, including the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

Directed by the award-winning team of Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster gives viewers an incredibly raw and intimate look into the lives and psyches of the members of one of the most successful rock bands in music history as they battle their way through addiction, domestic life, backlash from their fans, and near-total disintegration during the making of their St. Anger album. This film includes Joe Berlinger’s bonus feature, Metallica: This Monster Lives, a brand new 25-minute short film commemorating the 10th anniversary of Some Kind of Monster. The new film takes us behind-the-scenes of the world premiere of the band's 3D hybrid concert film Metallica: Through The Never, including new interviews with the band and also with Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky as they reflect upon the legacy of Some Kind of Monster, its influence on the band and their experiences during the decade since its release.
