OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17

Bill Nye: Science GuyD: David Alvarado, Jason Sussberg | 2017 | USA | 101 min

The 1990s TV phenomenon Bill Nye the Science Guy educated and entertained a generation with a mix of facts and zany fun that made learning exciting. Today, the bow-tied Bill Nye has returned to the public eye—but his mission has evolved as the stakes have risen. There’s a dangerous wave of people in power whose fundamental lack of scientific reasoning is causing destruction to the planet we all inhabit. As a public figure, Bill is now taking every opportunity he can to openly call out and debate those who are twisting facts or outright denying them. The Science Guy is back and more vital than ever.

OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10

JaneD: Brett Morgen | 2017 | USA | 90 min

Live with Jane Goodall while she conducts her groundbreaking, enthralling work with chimpanzees, which she revealed to be so like humans. Fifty years ago, a National Geographic filmmaker was sent to join her in the Tanzanian jungle, where he captured over 140 hours of 16mm footage that was never used. Today, Academy Award–nominated director Brett Morgen, whose skills of documentary portraiture range from musician Kurt Cobain (Cobain: Montage of Heck) to producer Robert Evans (The Kid Stays in the Picture), takes the footage and sets it to a dreamy orchestral score by Philip Glass in this gorgeous, and ultimately very moving, time capsule.

OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3

DinaD: Antonio Santini, Dan Sickles | 2017 | USA | 103 min

Winner—Grand Jury Prize, Best Documentary, Sundance Film Festival 2017

The richest love story to grace the big screen in ages is movingly told in this Sundance Festival hit, deservedly picking up the Grand Jury Prize. In Philadelphia, the impossibly endearing 49-year-old Dina and her fiancé Scott move in together, taking on the challenges of building a committed life partnership and moving on from troubled pasts. The neurologically diverse couple open up to each other and in front of the camera in this frank and deeply human portrait of love in a world that doesn’t understand them. With touching and truthful moments, Dina is an insightful and original movie romance you won’t soon forget.

OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27

California TypewriterD: Doug Nichol | 2016 | USA | 103 min | G

Is there a more romantic image of a writer than that of someone hunched over their typewriter passionately working away, the clicks and dings sounding off as they go? Discover extensive collections of trusty typewriters, all carefully selected by brand and generation, curated by those who are not so quick to shrug off old technology. Many artists and writers who still swear by the machine—among them Tom Hanks, John Mayer and the late Sam Shepard—share their thoughts on its value as a tool and source of inspiration. California Typewriter also looks at one of the last surviving typewriter repair shops, run by a man determined to keep the tradition alive.“Quaintly ingenious meditation on what

the digital era is doing to us.” – Variety

“It’s impossible not to care deeply about these anxious lovebirds.” - Screen International

“Playful, intelligent, fluidly assembled film takes the full measure of a man who back in the day enthralled millions of kids.” - POV Magzine

“ Jane isn’t just required viewing for fans of Goodall or animal lovers, but anyone seeking a classic in the making.” - IndieWire

OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24

Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story D: Alexandra Dean | 90 min | 2017 | USA | PG

Hedy Lamarr’s stint as a Hollywood starlet had her best known for her tabloid scandals rather than her performances—but behind the scenes she was a secret genius inventor changing the course of history. In the 1940s she starred alongside legends like Clark Gable and James Stewart, and infamously had affairs with the likes of Howard Hughes and JFK. Today Lamarr has re-entered public consciousness as a Hall of Fame-inducted inventor for developing a secret radio system during WWII that paved the way for modern Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology. Bombshell tells her whole incredible story for the first time.

OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24

You’re Soaking In ItD: Scott Harper | 2017 | Canada | 75 min

“Math men” have replaced the “mad men.” Advertisers today have access to an unprecedented level of data about us, our preferences and predilections. With porous levels of digital privacy, advertising is no longer simply something we see, it’s what surrounds us in every new arena. Ads are no longer targeted to us based on creative teams thinking up marketing strategies—they are the result of perpetual surveillance and collection of personal information. Director Scott Harper’s meticulously researched You’re Soaking In it, a Hot Docs Festival hit, reveals the inner workings of advertising today, and its hidden impact on our daily lives and the way we spend.

“Encourages audiences and consumers to see the invisible advertising that has become covertly pervasive in the digital age.” - POV Magazine

“It’s educational, to be sure, but also exhilarating, inspiring and deeply emotional.” - Washington Post

OPENS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22

DoloresD: Peter Bratt | 2017 | USA | 95 min

Winner—Audience Award, Best Documentary Feature, San Francisco International Film Festival 2017

American feminist, labour leader and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta has never been afraid to speak truth to power. She co-founded the National Farmworkers Association, the first farmworkers’ union in the U.S., but was never quite as well-known as her ally César Chávez. This is even true when it comes to the movement’s famous slogan, Sí se pu-ede, which inspired Barack Obama’s “yes we can” and is often wrongly attributed to Chavez. As shown in this Hot Docs Festival hit spanning over 50 years of footage, Dolores is never less than bold and compas-sionate, and remains outspoken and committed well into her 80s.

“Not just a stupendous tribute to Lamarr, but also a tribute to every brilliant woman ignored, thanking them even if they never snagged the spotlight.” - Nerdist
