Robert Wilson and the Civil Wars
90 mins Not Rated
Synopsis:
One of the great unrealized theatrical productions of the twentieth century, ROBERT WILSON AND THE CIVIL WARS would have been the avant-garde artist’s magnum opus. Directed by Howard Brookner, the film follows Wilson, composers Philip Glass and David Byrne, and several production troupes as they seek to perfect an epic that encompasses the Civil War, Frederick the Great, and the unification of Italy; and imagery from Frank L. Baum, Jules Verne, and Mathew Brady.

But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

Mary Oliver: Saved By the Beauty of the World

Diary of Madmen
109 mins
Synopsis:
Part of the Artists in Exile series, DIARY OF MADMEN is the work of visionary director Dmitry Krymov — an ode to theater as both escape and salvation from a collapsing world. In this personal work, two acclaimed actors, Chulpan Khamatova and Maksim Sukhanov, portray artists confronting the loss of their familiar lives and the meaning of their craft. As madness and despair close in, Krymov insists on the power of resistance, of laughter and love, and of art as the last refuge of inner freedom.
