Twenty Feet From Stardom

God Grew Tired of Us

Great film about a group of guys from Sudan who come to the US. They've never used electricity, eaten junk food; it's heart-warming and fascinating. They've also been through a lot before this point...

Alive Inside

A clip from this film had gone viral via Reddit and YouTube; I re-watched it the other night for no particular reason and subsequently realized that the full feature was playing in NYC for a few days.

So I went and saw it and teared up a few times. For me it was a very moving film.

THE SHORT GAME - Official Trailer

Personally I'm not that interested in golf, but the personalities of the kids who compete in this film captivated me.

Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story

Here we get to know a French illustrator/cartoonist who experienced Germany under Hitler, became a noted children's book illustrator, then was ostracized because he also did erotic art. His art's amazing and he's fascinating.

Man on Wire

Incredible story of a French man who wants to walk a wire between the Twin Towers. That alone would be interesting enough, but additionally, this guy's passion is infectious.

Finding Vivian Maier

I'd heard about this- Vivian Maier, took tons of beautiful street photos and they were discovered after her death, many undeveloped. This film is about that and also what her life was like.
