One Night in One City

Multiple award-winning Czech animation feature ONE NIGHT IN ONE CITY brings to life a surreal universe reminding of the best work of visionary stop-motion pioneers such as Jan Svankmajer and the brothers Quay. Combining poetic fantasies and dark humor, sorrow and nostalgia, Balej's mini-stories are about solitude, about hidden and often unrealized desire for secret dreams, friendship, for finding one's place in this world... Sinister tales of human loneliness, weird events and mysterious characters taking place in the gloomy and bizarre microcosmos inhabited by Jon Balej's masterfully animated creatures

White Lies Black Sheep

Urgent and immediate as a punk anthem and built as a rockumentary "starring" New York City's legendary underground club scene, WHITE LIES BLACK SHEEP is one of those films where soundtrack and locations are as important as the story itself. Directed by James Spooner, author of the award-winning documentary AFRO-PUNK - a movie that helped define an identity for a whole legion of young black kids who are often forced to choose between their community and the music they love - WHITE LIES BLACK SHEEP continues Spooner's exploration of the role played by race on NY underground dancefloors.
