US PREMIERE

BERNSTEIN’S WALL

CAPTAIN COUNTER CULTURE

Directed by Douglas Tirola USA / 2021 / 100 minutes Bernstein’s Wall follows Leonard Bernstein on his lifelong journey to define his role as one of America’s most important musical figures, while fighting to create social change and inspire political activism through his work. Told in Bernstein’s own voice and featuring never before seen archival footage, Douglas Tirola’s documentary is an intimate portrait of one of the 20th century’s most prominent icons.

Directed by Michael P. Nash USA / 2021 / 81 minutes Follow avant-garde filmmaker/photographer, Larry Moyer, who shunned “work” for a counter-culture lifestyle. Landing in the legendary houseboat community of Sausalito, he spent 50 years turning on, tuning in and dropping out, happily finding a life that many have searched for and few have ever found.

Directed by Brooke Pepion Swaney USA / 2021 / 66 minutes A story of intergenerational trauma and pain, Daughter of a Lost Bird deftly explores the role of identity as Lummi Nation Native Kendra, adopted at birth by a white family, meets her long-lost ancestors, discovers her heritage, connects to her native culture, and plumbs the depths of her people’s sorrow.
