The Cold Blue
Director
Um tributo a um dos grandes cineastas do mundo e aos homens da 8ª Força Aérea que realizaram missões após missões suicidas na Segunda Guerra Mundial. Em 1943 o lendário diretor de Hollywood William Wyler filmou o documentário sobre a famosa fortaleza voadora Memphis Belle, uma homenagem ao bombardeiro titular da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Usando imagens dos Arquivos Nacionais filmadas por Wyler e sua equipe, o diretor Erik Nelson criou um novo filme, com narração de alguns dos últimos pilotos B-17 sobreviventes.

A Gray State
Producer
In 2010 David Crowley, an Iraq veteran, aspiring filmmaker and charismatic up-and-coming voice in fringe politics, began production on his film Gray State. Set in a dystopian near-future where civil liberties are trampled by an unrestrained federal government, the film’s crowd funded trailer was enthusiastically received by the burgeoning online community of libertarians, Tea Party activists and members of the nascent alt-right. In January of 2015, Crowley was found dead with his family in their suburban Minnesota home. Their shocking deaths quickly become a cause célèbre for conspiracy theorists who speculate that Crowley was assassinated by a shadowy government concerned about a film and filmmaker that was getting too close to the truth about their aims.

A Caverna dos Sonhos Esquecidos
Producer
O célebre diretor Werner Herzog nos leva em uma aventura incrível, indo aos limites de um lugar extraordinário. Superando desafios consideráveis, Herzog registra a impressionante imponência da caverna de Chauvet, no sul da França, onde foram descobertas as mais antigas pinturas rupestres do mundo. Herzog revela um mundo subterrâneo de tirar o fôlego, incluindo obras de arte com 32 mil anos de idade com seu estilo inigualável. Com sua narração bem-humorada e envolvente, Herzog reflete sobre o nosso desejo primordial em se comunicar e representar o mundo à nossa volta, a evolução e o nosso lugar nela, e, em última instância, o que significa ser humano. Werner Herzog, de 68 anos, realizou um sonho de infância. Ainda menino, arranjou trabalho só para comprar um livro sobre pinturas rupestres, e o seu sonho virou realidade quando ele teve acesso à caverna de Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc, descoberta na década de 90, com mais de 400 pinturas rupestres.
