A SXSW award-winner!Audience of One
Star Wars meets The Ten Commandments when a Pentecostal pastor praying on a mountain receives a vision from God to "spread the Gospel through filmmaking." Using donations, he slowly transformed his church into a movie studio.
Director Michael Jacobs expertly captures the process in his hilarious, provocative, and always entertaining documentary.
Winner of a Special Jury Award at the SXSW Film Festival.

Limited Engagement!Private Century
The political and social upheavals of twentieth-century Czechoslovakia -- war and occupation, the twin specters of Nazism and Communism, the Velvet Revolution -- have never been more intimately rendered than in Jan Šikl's landmark eight-part series, Private Century.
Composed entirely of family home movies, still photographs, letters, and diaries dating from the 1920s to the 1960s, this wonderous 8-part documentary series of films explores, in Chekhovian fashion, how sweeping historical events transform the private lives of ordinary people, and how small domestic pleasures can crystallize into profound and enduring memories.
Saturdays, May 2 & 9 and Sundays, May 3 & 10 only!
