Based on the book by Elliot Tiber and Tom Monte, Taking Woodstock is a drama-comedy starring one of my current favorite comedians, Demetri Martin.

From the producers of the wonderful Paris, je t'aime, comes the next city to be highlighted - New York City. In New York, I Love You, 11 short films - of about 10 minutes each - will be combined into one over arching theme of finding love.

What burdens do the survivors of those who survived carry?

In 2005, brothers Jay and Mark Duplass created one of my favorite movies ever - The Puffy Chair. Since then, I've randomly been keeping tabs on both of them. In doing that, I've recently discovered the upcoming film Humpday starring Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard and written and directed by Lynn Shelton.

Every consumer item you purchase, use and love was at some point nothing more than an idea or design. Documentary filmmaker Gary Hustwit takes on this idea in the 2nd film in his design trilogy.

Produced and directed by Agnès Varda, The Beaches of Agnès is the story of her well lived life while visiting her favorite beaches along the way.
