Ballerina Boys is a portrait of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (The Trocks), an all-male ballet company and international dance sensation. For over 45 years the company has shared their signature style and message of equality, inclusion and social justice with audiences around the world. The men perform classical ballet en pointe and in drag, challenging the art form’s rigid gender norms as they mix rigorous technique with comedy and satire. Inspired by the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the company was fueled by the spirit of defiance and creative exuberance that the gay rights movement unleashed. The film follows The Trocks on tour in the Carolinas, an epicenter of continued struggles for LGBTQ rights. Ballerina Boys interweaves original interviews and contemporary and archival performance footage to tell the remarkable history of the company and culminates with The Trocks’ 2019 performance at the Stonewall 50th anniversary concert at Central Park’s SummerStage in New York City. In the words of ballerina Kevin Garcia, “Every time the curtain opens we represent progress for equality. We just do it dancing.”
Sunset Boulevard weaves a magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to the big screen, having been discarded by tinsel town with the advent of “talkies.” Her glamour has faded in all but her mind. When she meets struggling Hollywood screenwriter Joe Gillis in dramatic circumstances, their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion.
Join us to traverse magical worlds in a fantastical ongoing adventure! Anyone can play and all skill levels are welcome.
A seemingly simple taxi ride across Paris evolves into a profound meditation on the realities of the driver, whose personal life is in shambles, and his fare, an elderly woman whose warmth belies her surprising past.
Driving Madeleine is highlighted by two wonderful performances: actor/director Dany Boon as a taxi driver having a bad day and legendary 92-year-old French chanteuse Line Renaud as a woman in need of a ride.
An intimate look at the war in Ukraine, as seen through the eyes of artists who remained to make art as a defiant act in the face of aggression.
The Rule of Two Walls has not yet opened in theaters (hence no reviews to report) but we have this from the Tribecca Film Festival:
While their lives are getting irreversibly altered, the film beautifully documents how their work — as visual artists, musicians, street artists, performance artists, and filmmakers — both processes the moment and offers hope. Visceral, poetic, and urgent, Rule of Two Walls illuminates the vital role of cultural and spiritual defiance in times of crisis.

Mark Lewis is a withdrawn young man who works as a focus puller in a film studio, moonlighting as a “private” photographer of scantily-clad women while obsessively working on his own “documentary” using the world’s most lethal tripod. An uncharacteristic thriller/horror movie by the co-director of The Red Shoes (whose prima ballerina, Moira Shearer, is also featured), Peeping Tom was savagely attacked by contemporary critics, stalling Michael Powell’s career for years. In the ensuing decades, the film’s reputation has skyrocketed, and it’s now recognized as a provocative study of voyeurism, a portrait of self-destruction, and blackly playful variations on “seeing” and identity.
