When a group of students at Columbia University in New York launch a movement protesting the war in Gaza, they spark a nationwide uprising in solidarity with the people of Gaza. Encampments spring up at hundreds of campuses as students object to their own university’s investment in the US and Israeli arms industry. Featuring detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil, THE ENCAMPMENTS takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Professors, whistleblowers, and student activists shed light on a moment that captivated the nation’s attention and continues to make headlines today with the escalating situation involving Mahmoud Khalil, currently detained by DHS and held in ICE custody without charges and facing deportation for his views, as well as Columbia's recent crackdown on student activism due to its federal funding being withheld by the Trump administration.

ENCORE SCREENINGS! An expansive and revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s life in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO delivers an immersive cinematic experience that brings to life electrifying, never-before-seen material and newly restored footage of John and Yoko’s only full-length concert. Kevin Macdonald’s riveting documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore eighteen defining months in the lives of John and Yoko spent in a Greenwich Village apartment, while also tracing developments in American politics like the presidency of Richard Nixon and opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War. As they experience a year of love and transformation in the US, John and Yoko begin to change their approach to protest, ultimately leading to the One to One concert. Featuring mind-blowing music newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, the film is a seismic revelation that will challenge pre-existing notions of two of history’s most influential artists.
