KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS was infamously rated X, banned, censored, recut in many territories for decades, and is still controversial for its depictions of religious hysteria and body horror. This director’s cut & restoration restores Russell’s original vision.

Don’t sleep in your chance to see it projected with a packed audience.

Following the finale of his acclaimed HBO series “How To with John Wilson”, NYC documentarian John Wilson looks to the bedrock of his beloved New York City for inspiration and structure. Concrete, the world’s most widely used building material, appears as an ever-present life force, and John sets out to make the definitive documentary on the matter. After attending a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, he decides to use the industry-approved Hallmark formula to tell this seemingly drab story and increase his movie’s appeal. But his foundation soon begins to crumble—literally and figuratively—as he struggles to balance artistic freedom with the realities of the modern film industry

One night only! On our BIGGEST SCREEN!

Matchstick Productions returns with their 34th annual ski film, The Way Out, an action-packed tribute to the culture and lifestyle of skiing. What makes skiing special goes far beyond the fleeting thrill of dropping into a line. It’s the deep, elemental relationship with nature that sets mountain culture apart from any traditional activity. For skiers, this isn’t just a sport; we live to ski, and ski to live.

The Way Out drops you right into the action across the globe, from heavy Alaskan spine lines to local backyard laps in Whistler. The Way Out represents a path toward total freedom. Whether tracking Hoji, Chris Rubens, and Mark Abma across the iconic Swiss Alps or capturing breakout skier Lucy Leishman storming through Japan’s deep powder
with three legendary freeskiers, the verdict is simple: the soul of skiing isn’t dead; it’s alive and well wherever the snow is falling.

Featuring: Mark Abma, Chris Rubens, Eric Hjorleifson, Jake Hopfinger, Logan Pehota,
Xander Guldman, Craig Murray, Lucy Leishman, Tonje Kvivik, Janelle Yip, Ben Richards, Marcus Goguen, Dylan Siggers, Manon Loschi, Indy Boyer, Alex Armstrong, Bobby Brown, Dennis Ranalter, Jonathan Rollins, Finn Bilous, Sam Kuch, Adam Kuch, Nikolai Schirmer, Karl Fostvedt, Martin Birkelund, Tobias Kronborg

NAZA
In secret conversations on the rooftops of Tel Aviv at night, the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza are revealed by the people who designed and operated them.

The 2026 Venice Film Festival Special Jury Prize winning film from acclaimed directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor

Directors note:
We made this film out of a sense of obligation to use our position as Israeli filmmakers and journalists to examine the systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians for which our country is responsible. While filming members of Israel’s military on rooftops at night in Tel Aviv over the past three years, we found ourselves asking the very questions that were asked by our grandparents’ generation and throughout the 20th century: how does one group of people allow the total dehumanization of another? What do the inner workings of such a system look like? Many of the revelations in the film were published almost immediately as we learned of them, in the months following the October 7th attacks, by The Guardian (one of NAZA’s producers), in collaboration with reporting partners +972 Magazine and Local Call. The film lets us explore something deeper than we could in our investigative journalism alone: not only the words being said but also those that are not said, the silence. It is up to all of us to break that silence.
