0 How to Get Filthy Rich with Gary Stevenson
In this provocative state-of-the-nation film, Stevenson travels across the country meeting those most affected by the widening wealth gap, alongside multi-millionaires and billionaires who sit at the other end of the economic spectrum. Having made millions during his career in finance, Stevenson now campaigns against the expanding divide between rich and poor, and examines what he believes is driving inequality in Britain today. The documentary sees him engage with economists, financiers, public sector workers and individuals from across society, going head-to-head with critics of his views while also hearing from those who support his proposed solutions. At the heart of the film is Stevenson’s belief that meaningful change requires a wealth tax, with the super-rich contributing more to address what he sees as a broken system.
0 The Last Picture Shows
Ten states. 10,825 miles. 123 theaters. In his latest feature The Last Picture Shows, filmmaker Rustin Thompson journeys into the American West on a search for traces of what was once a center of small-town life: the movie theater. On the trip, he finds long abandoned and forgotten cinemas; movie houses that have fallen into disrepair; theaters recently closed, theaters struggling to hold on, and theaters that—thanks to their thoughtful caretakers—are not only surviving but thriving. Between the stops along the way, Rustin poetically intersperses excerpts from Peter Bogdanovich’s 1971 classic film The Last Picture Show, as well as reflections on past and present hardships facing the film exhibition industry. The Last Picture Shows reminds viewers that even in vast cinema deserts, there are oases of community and gathering that remain, where the movie house continues to be a place of wonder, contemplation, and connection.
