LATE FAME

2025  USA 1hr 36 minutes

Drama/Comedy  NR

In English with English subtitles

Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet, works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention — and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group’s “tragic heroine” — Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle. This thoughtful, witty film is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.  NYTimes Critics’ Pick

AMERICAN DOCTOR

2025  USA, Malaysia, Qatar, Denmark, Palestine 93 minutes

Documentary   NR

In English with English subtitles

NYTimes Critics’ Pick

AMERICAN DOCTOR is a vérité documentary following three prominent physicians – Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian — friends who couldn’t be more different but are bound by the shared oath to save lives.

Dr. Thaer Ahmad is measured and strategic, Dr. Mark Perlmutter is blunt and wears his heart on his sleeve, and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is media-savvy and prolific. Filmed in unfolding, on-the-ground scenes, the story follows them from a Gazan hospital under siege, to the halls of Congress.

Together they fight to keep a promise to their Palestinian colleagues and patients, to continue the struggle where it matters most: the United States.

Film Sponsor: Maggie Wahl Linnemeier

BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL

2025  USA 1hr 52 minutes

Documentary   NR

In English

After the success of POINT BLANK and DELIVERANCE, Warner Brothers offered John Boorman the opportunity of a lifetime…the chance to direct a sequel to their smash hit, THE EXORCIST. The result was one of the biggest disasters in movie history. A critical and financial failure that not only changed how Hollywood did business, but nearly ended Boorman’s filmmaking career. But to be an artist is to be a risk-taker. Now, John Boorman, Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, Karyn Kusama, Mike Flanagan, and more reflect back on the ambition of the film, the artistry and craft, and the value of big creative swings.
