The MIDDLETOWN films transform the studies into an unprecedented overview of American life seen through the prisms of local politics (The Campaign), high school sports (The Big Game), a family business (Family Business), religion (Community of Praise), marriage (Second Time Around), and education and race (in the controversial Sundance Grand Jury prize winner, Seventeen). “A masterpiece!

The latest documentary from Heddy Honigmann (FOREVER, METAL AND MELANCHOLY, O AMOR NATURAL) focuses on Peru’s capital city of Lima, revealing its startling contrasts of wealth and poverty, and how many of its poorest citizens have survived decades of economic crisis, terrorism and govern - ment violence, denial of workers’ rights, and political corruption.

Demonstrating anew Honigmann’s extraordinary talent as one of the most empathetic documentary filmmakers at work today, OBLIVION provides intimate portraits of street musicians, singers, vendors, shoeshine boys, and the gymnasts (some mere children) and jugglers who perform at traffic stops.

BLACK SUN sheds new light on the sources of Nazi ideology by examining its roots in the world of myths, symbols and fantasies. It traces this development from the writings of various mystics in the early 20th century, which located the original home of the Germanic peoples in sunken continents such as “Thule” and “Atlantis,” and propagated the mythology of a superior Nordic race whose heroes fought the forces of decadence and racial impurity.
