Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin, follows free soloist climber Alex Honnold as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock ... the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park … without a rope. Hailed by critics as “a visually stunning documentary [that] sets itself apart by intimately probing the psyche of one of the world’s most interesting athletes” and “one of the most arresting documentaries of the year,” "Free Solo" is an edge-of-your-seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who challenges both his body and his beliefs on a quest to triumph over the impossible, revealing the personal toll of excellence. MINDING THE GAP Compiling over 12 years of footage shot in his hometown of Rockford, IL, in MINDING THE GAP, Bing Liu searches for correlations between his skateboarder friends' turbulent upbringings and the complexities of modern-day masculinity. As the film unfolds, Bing captures 23-year-old Zack's tumultuous relationship with his girlfriend deteriorate after the birth of their son and 17-year-old Keire struggling with his racial identity as he faces new responsibilities following the death of his father. OF FATHERS AND SONS After his Sundance award-winning documentary "Return to Homs," Talal Derki returned to his homeland where he gained the trust of a radical Islamist family, sharing their daily life for over two years. His camera focuses primarily on the children, providing an extremely rare insight into what it means to grow up with a father whose only dream is to establish an Islamic caliphate. Osama (13) and his brother Ayman (12) both love and admire their father and obey his words, but while Osama seems content to follow the path of Jihad, Ayman wants to go back to school. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for World Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, "Of Fathers and Sons" is a work of unparalleled intimacy that captures the chilling moment when childhood dies and jihadism is born.

BLACKKKLANSMAN From visionary filmmaker Spike Lee comes the incredible true story of an American hero. It’s the early 1970s, and Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Determined to make a name for himself, Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. The young detective soon recruits a more seasoned colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), into the undercover investigation of a lifetime. Together, they team up to take down the extremist hate group as the organization aims to sanitize its violent rhetoric to appeal to the mainstream. Produced by the team behind the Academy-Award® winning "Get Out." Q&A with Oscar nominated director Spike Lee Date: Tuesday, February 5, 2019 Time: 7:00pm (check-in at 6:30pm) Location: Landmark 57 West - NEW YORK 657 West 57th Street (at 12th Ave.) New York, NY 10019 [RSVP: "BLACKKKLANSMAN"]( AN EVENING OF SCREENINGS AND CONVERSATION WITH OSCAR NOMINEES OF DOCUMENTARY (SHORT SUBJECT) A NIGHT AT THE GARDEN In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York’s Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism – an event largely forgotten from American history. "A Night at the Garden," made entirely from archival footage filmed that night, transports audiences to this chilling gathering and shines a light on the power of demagoguery and anti-Semitism in the United States. Q&A with director Marshall Curry BLACK SHEEP "Black Sheep" tells the story of Cornelius Walker, whose life changed on November 27, 2000 - the day Damilola Taylor was killed. Damilola was the same age as Cornelius, lived minutes away and had the same skin color. Cornelius’s mother, scared for her son’s safety, moved their family out of London. Cornelius suddenly found himself living on a white estate run by racists. But rather than fight them, Cornelius decided to become more like the people who hated him and in return, became submerged in a culture of violence and hatred. As the violence and racism continued, Cornelius struggled to marry his real identity with the one he had acquired. Q&A with producer Jonathan Chinn END GAME Where will loved ones spend their last days? Who will be in the room? What feelings and secrets need to be shared with family before it is too late? Acclaimed Academy Award®-winning filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman probe these questions and more in the context of two San Francisco Bay Area medical facilities on the forefront of creating new paradigms for end of life decisions with grace. Q&A with director Rob Epstein and director Jeffrey Friedman LIFEBOAT The second film of The Refugee Trilogy "50 Feet from Syria" the first "Lifeboat" details the plight of refugees seeking asylum off the coast of Libya. Through embedding on a risk-filled and desperate search-and-rescue mission, the filmmakers achieve an intimate and powerful look at the perils endured by those seeking to escape war, persecution and torture in Northern Africa. Filmed aboard a search-and-rescue vessel helmed by the first captain of Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior, the mission leaves you inspired and sobered by the current, desperate plight of refugees and the timely efforts of civil society to intervene in a meaningful fashion. Q&A with director Skye Fitzgerald PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE. In a rural village outside Delhi, India, women lead a quiet revolution. They fight against the deeply rooted stigma of menstruation. “Period. End of Sentence.” — a documentary short directed by Rayka Zehtabchi — tells their story. For generations, these women didn’t have access to pads, which lead to health problems and girls missing school or dropping out entirely. But when a sanitary pad machine is installed in the village, the women learn to manufacture and market their own pads, empowering the women of their community. They name their brand “FLY,” because they want women “to soar.” Their flight is, in part, enabled by the work of high school girls half a world away, in California, who raised the initial money for the machine and began a non-profit called “The Pad Project.” Q&A with producer Melissa Berton Date: Tuesday, February 5, 2019 Time: 7:00pm (check-in at 6:30pm) Location: Landmark West LA 10850 W Pico Blvd Los Angeles, CA [RSVP: "DOCUMENTARY SHORTS"]( CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?
