SUMMARY:Jean-Michel Basquiat
DESCRIPTION:Nearly four decades after his untimely death at age 27\, Jean-Michel Basquiat is now one of history’s most celebrated artists. His visionary work has been exhibited in every major art museum; it appears on everything from murals across the world\, to streetwear\, housewares\, and personal tattoos. But while his legacy as an artist has been cemented\, other parts of his life have been distilled into archetypes\, details distorted or omitted\, leaving a story predominantly framed by the fine art marketplace. In JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT\, the game-changing artists’ sisters\, Lisane and Jeanine\, lead an intimate and comprehensive portrait of their brother\, focusing on the young man\, sibling\, son\, and friend he was to many. Drawing on personal archives\, never-before-seen works\, and many voices of those who knew him best\, this documentary illuminates the truth directly from the Basquiat family—allowing the human being\, Jean-Michel\, to finally guide his own story. \nDirector: Quinn Wilson\, Viridiana Lieberman \nRun Time: 95 min. \nRelease Year: 2026 \nStarring: Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Lisane Basquiat

SUMMARY:Fork in the Road
DESCRIPTION:Imbued with the spirit (and presence) of the late poet/environmentalist Wendell Berry and featuring Emmy-winning actor/bestselling writer (and executive producer) Nick Offerman\, FORK IN THE ROAD explores the profound connections between people\, the land\, and the future of our food system. From kelp harvesters in Alaska to dairy farmers in the midwest\, a tapestry of compelling stories from small-scale farmers across the U.S. helps paint a picture of the scale and scope of agricultural industrialization\, and what that could mean for the road ahead. With insights from visionary chefs\, mission-minded culinary experts\, and hopeful innovators working to advance a healthier food future for the country and the planet\, the film delves far beyond the farm to reveal the authentic\, lived realities and unprecedented challenges of those combatting the tide of escalating consolidation—establishing food sustainability as a shared responsibility that extends into our bodies\, kitchens\, and communities. \nDirector: Jonathan Nastasi\, Vivian Sorenson \nRun Time: 88 min. \nRelease Year: 2026

SUMMARY:All About the Money
DESCRIPTION:ALL ABOUT THE MONEY is an extraordinary investigative journey into the power and peril of extreme wealth—and what happens when one man decides to turn his privilege into a revolution. Born into one of America’s richest families\, Fergie Chambers cut ties with his family trust and suddenly controls hundreds of millions of dollars. In the quiet town of Alford\, Massachusetts\, Fergie builds an intentional community he calls a “revolutionary training ground.” But as idealism meets ego\, and theory collides with reality\, tensions rise—both within the group and the surrounding town. Drawing from nearly three years of unprecedented access\, filmmaker Sinéad O’Shea (PRAY FOR OUR SINNERS\, GlobeDocs ’22) captures a story of conviction\, control\, and contradiction—a cautionary tale about money\, ideology\, and the messy human desire to change the world without losing yourself in the process. \nDirector: Sinéad O’Shea \nRun Time: 95 min. \nRelease Year: 2026

SUMMARY:Give Me the Ball!
DESCRIPTION:A global icon whose impact on equality resonates far beyond the tennis court\, the personal sacrifices behind Billie Jean King’s rise have often remained hidden. GIVE ME THE BALL! shines a light on the immense cost of King’s game-changing fight to professionalize her sport and secure equal treatment for women. From an unhappy marriage and keeping her sexual orientation hidden to eating disorders and relentless misogyny\, Billie Jean’s path was long and often lonely\, but this rousing documentary expands beyond the historic 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” match to depict King as the tireless fighter she was committed to being. Incorporating rare archival footage and honest interviews\, filmmakers Liz Garbus (a two-time Academy Award nominee) and Elizabeth Wolff present a powerful portrait of resilience and triumph\, deepening our understanding of a revered American athlete. \nDirector: Elizabeth Wolff\, Liz Garbus \nRun Time: 101 min. \nRelease Year: 2026

SUMMARY:HAUSU + A Tape: The American History of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:A Tape: The American History of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s HOUSE\nNew England Premiere! Filmmaker Q&A!\n2026 • dir Max G. Robinson • 10 min \nA retro-fashioned look into how the enigmatic 1977 Japanese classic horror-comedy evolved from seldom-seen cinema curio to cult film favorite\, as told by the video clerks\, musicians\, distributors and film buffs who rediscovered it. A special presentation just in time for Halloween\, the short film and filmmaker Q&A will be followed by a 35mm screening of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s HOUSE (in Japanese with English subtitles). \nScreening with… \nHAUSU\n1977 • dir Nobuhiko Obayashi w/Kimiko Ikegami\, Miki Jinbo\, Kumiko Ohba\, Ai Matsubara\, Mieko Sato\, Eriko Tanaka\, Masayo Miyako • 88 min \nNobuhiko Obayashi’s best-known film internationally is this bonkers haunted house tale based on the fantasies and fears of his pre-teen daughter. A gaggle of teenage friends go on an innocent trip to a country house only to discover it populated by all manner of evil spirits… and one particularly bloodthirsty piano. Weird\, wild\, and uncategorizable\, HAUSU is a justifiably revered cult classic and hopefully a gateway to further encounters with Obayashi’s distinctly bent sense of cinema.

SUMMARY:Cut to David
DESCRIPTION:David’s story is beautifully layered from the start: An adopted\, Chinese-American\, transgender teen\, raised in a Jewish home in Boston with a filmmaker for a mom\, with a camera always close by. As David journeys from high school to college to adulthood\, Sandy Jaffe’s camera documents her family’s evolving relationship as each participant has a turn steering the narrative.

An intimate\, fly-on-the-wall documentary\, CUT TO DAVID considers the possibilities—and perils—of living visibly and openly\, exploring how ethnicity\, gender\, religion\, and parenting shape who we become. \nDirector: Sandra Jaffe \nRun Time: 70 min. \nRelease Year: 2026

SUMMARY:The Oldest Person in the World
DESCRIPTION:Supercentenarians seize the spotlight in Academy Award-nominated documentarian Sam Green’s decade-long global odyssey to chronicle the ever-changing title holders of “oldest person alive.” As the distinction inevitably cedes from one titleholder to the next\, Green keeps pace with each pass of the torch\, while his personal fascination in the topic entangles with significant milestones and challenging life events of his own. What starts as a portrait of longevity unfolds into a poignant meditation on the passage of time\, the happenstance of fate\, and the joy and profundity of being human—and experiencing life. \nDirector: Sam Green \nRun Time: 87 min. \nRelease Year: 2026
