Nothing in the Way of Beauty N/A

A man once set about making a place where beauty might flourish. He unlocked a door and invited everyone in. After many lifespans and a churning stream of visitors, we step through to find Tina, Chelsea, and Phoebe. One retired from government work who uses her hourly wages from Target to buy paint and canvas, another diagnosed with Asperger’s lives and works on the top floor of her mother’s row house with many pet rats, and the third a polymath, with a decade of advanced medical training, a stint in adult entertainment, and thirteen years of recovery from heroin addiction. They are both together and apart, infused with a spirit we can’t see or touch, scraping colors, moving in circles, as we wait for faces shimmering in the distance to enter. "A brilliant new work. Film as medicine." - Cherry Jones

Red China In Black And White 2019

Hu Jie is a prodigious independent Chinese filmmaker who has produced and directed thirty or so documentaries. Also a master of wood engraving, Hu Jie breathes new life into the expressionist tradition of Käthe Kollwitz. In his works — including those produced in Paris for this film — Hu Jie recreates terrifying moments of organized crimes against the Chinese people during the famine of the “Great Leap Forward” and the “Cultural Revolution”. Bertrand Renaudineau’s and Gérard da Silva’s film offers Hu Jie his first chance to tell how he was a wood engraver before becoming a filmmaker; how, he freed the “soul of a young martyr”; and how his prints and documentaries have helped convey the experiences of the Chinese to people all around the world. (René Viénet)
