For half a decade, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, filmed his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel’s occupation. He built an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist that wanted to join his fight. The result is the Academy Award winning documentary No Other Land.

Director’s Statement: We’re making this film together, a Palestinian-Israeli group of activists and filmmakers, because we want to stop the ongoing expulsion of the community of Masafer Yatta, and resist the reality of Apartheid we were born into–from opposite, unequal sides. Reality around us is becoming scarier, more violent, more oppressive, every day–and we are very weak in front of it. We can only shout out something radically different, this film–which at its core, is a proposal for an alternate way Israelis and Palestinians can live in this land–not as oppressor and oppressed, but in full equality.

Relive the zany antics of Andy Kaufman with Thank You Very Much, Alex Braverman’s new documentary about the madcap comedian!

In his short, enigmatic life, Andy Kaufman entertained and transfixed audiences while simultaneously driving them away. His work dissolved the boundaries separating reality from fiction, and his commitment to performance, both on stage and off, rendered any distinctions between his characters and his real life useless. Was he a comic, an affable sit-com star, a washed-up lounge singer, a bus boy, a professional wrestler, a hoaxer, a provocateur or a pest? Nearly 40 years after his supposed death, one question still puzzles fans and haters alike: “was that for real?”

Harry travels to Florida to find her, but he begins to see a connection between the runaway girl, the world of Hollywood stuntmen, and a suspicious mechanic when an unsolved murder comes to light.
