Jeff Buckley, a rising star with an otherworldly voice, left the 90s music world reeling when he died suddenly after the release of his debut album. In a tragic accident, Buckley drowned in the Wolf River in Memphis in 1997, leaving behind an unfinished second album and a legion of devastated family, friends and fans.

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.

MLK/FBI

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered today as an American hero: a bridge-builder, a shrewd political tactician, and a moral leader. Yet throughout his history-altering political career, he was often treated by U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies like an enemy of the state. In this virtuosic documentary, award-winning editor and director Sam Pollard (Editor, 4 LITTLE GIRLS, MO' BETTER BLUES; Director/Producer, EYES ON THE PRIZE, SAMMY DAVIS, JR.: I'VE GOTTA BE ME) lays out a detailed account of the FBI surveillance that dogged King's activism throughout the '50s and '60s, fueled by the racist and red-baiting paranoia of J. Edgar Hoover. In crafting a rich archival tapestry, featuring some revelatory restored footage of King, Pollard urges us to remember that true American progress is always hard-won.

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

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.

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.

Vernon, Florida

For his second feature, Academy Award winner Errol Morris (The Fog of War, The Thin Blue Line) originally set out to chronicle Vernon, FL, because it had the highest rate of a particular sort of insurance fraud than any other place in the country. Nothing of that original idea survives in the film itself. Instead, in this quirky indie documentary from IFC Films, Morris seems perfectly content letting the camera roll in front of the other eccentrics he found there, using his trademark approach of simply letting his subjects do the talking themselves. Many of them exhibit unusually close relationships to animals, including a turtle keeper, a worm farmer, and most memorably, an extremely enthusiastic turkey hunter.

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.
