Whistleblowers have a prominent place in Hollywood films, and a growing subgenre within focuses on government employees who release classified information. This biopic follows Reality Winner (Sydney Sweeney), a former Air Force intelligence specialist, who leaked a private report demonstrating that Russia interfered in the 2016 United States presidential elections. In 2017, the FBI visited Reality's home in Georgia and questioned her about her involvement with the leaks. Her unauthorized release of information landed her a prison sentence of five years, which she wrapped up serving in 2021 with an early release. GET TICKETS!  

Comprised of five short parts (or a prelude and four parts) filmed in sections over a three-year period, Dog Star Man follows a woodsman (Stan Brakhage), his axe, and his dog as they climb a snowy mountain in order to chop down a tree. That odyssey serves as Brakhage's bracketing for the larger story, which includes various visions and abstractions encountered by the woodsman along the way. GET TICKETS

The original Broadway production of Annie opened in 1977 to instant success. Soon after that in 1982, the somewhat surprising choice of John Huston (The Maltese Falcon, The Night of the Iguana) directed the film adaptation. After a standard made-for-TV-Disney remake in 1999, the franchise updated the musical for this adaptation in 2014. For example, it's now set in Harlem, Daddy Warbucks becomes Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx), and the Depression Era is swapped out for the mid-2010s tech boom. The musical's bones, however, largely remain. Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) resides at Miss Hannigan's (Cameron Diaz) orphanage with an optimism far beyond what her means should support. A chance encounter with Stacks, a mobile phone mogul running for Mayor of New York City, begins one of the most famous Algeresque Broadway stories ever. GET TICKETS!
