Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work
“One of the smarter, more unexpectedly touching documentaries of the year, and I recommend it to you whether you love Rivers or loathe the very thought of her.”—Ty Burr, The Boston Globe. “One of the best movies ever made about the brutal and unforgiving world of show business.”—The Dallas Morning News.

Dir: Bruce MacDonald, Canada, 2010, 87 min. Greg Calderone, Georgina Reilly, Kerr Hewitt, Stephen McHattie
This Movie Is Broken
“Bruce McDonald is on a roll. First, he turned the zombie movie on its head with Pontypool, and now he’s bringing that same inventive spirit to This Movie Is Broken, his take on the traditional concert film. Unfolding on one lazy, hazy July day in Toronto, This Movie Is Broken centres on a free outdoor gig by indie supergroup Broken Social Scene.

Dir: Colin Murnane, Ireland, 2008, 80 min. Pierce Turner, Jim Sheridan. Digital projection.
The Song For The Year
In 2004-2005 Irish musician Pierce Turner recorded his 7th studio album in Woodstock and embarked on a unique tour of Ireland, playing people’s pianos in their own parlours and front rooms. Colin Murnane’s documentary follows the acclaimed Pierce Turner from his homes in Wexford and Manhattan to the Woodstock studio and to venues as contrasting as The Public Theatre Manhattan and the Headon’s parlour in Birr, County Offaly.

September 17–October 3
PG, language may offend
Dir: Aaron Schneider, US, 2010, 102 min. Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, Lucas Black, Gerald McRaney
Get Low
“The aura of William Faulkner lingers over Get Low, a chunk of down-home rural Southern folklore based on a real event in 1938, when a Tennessee hermit emerged after decades of hiding in the woods to hear the nearby townsfolk’s opinion of him at a mock funeral. Moving the action back a few years to the Depression, this film is a funny and tender retelling of that story, resonating with warmth and sardonic wit and containing a majestic performance by Robert Duvall…

October 1–5
PG
Dir: Mark Cousins, UK/Canada, 2009, 76 min. Digital projection.
“Not many critics also get to be accomplished film-makers, but one such is Mark Cousins, a brilliantly exuberant movie writer… Cousins’s tremendous new film, The First Movie is part documentary, part essay, part contemporary memoir, recording his visit to Goptapa in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, which was the subject of a horrendous chemical assault in 1988.
