ABOUT THE FILMS

À toi les oreilles - While the townsfolk are celebrating the village's anniversary parade, Étienne tries the impossible: to show them how beautiful his family’s cacophony really is.

Dion & Denver - In the late 1960s, an aging Dion DiMucci, struggling to stay relevant in a rapidly changing America, meets and ambitious young John Denver who helps reignite his passion for music and reminds him of their place in the cultural spotlight.

Keep the Party Going - After the death of his wife, a heartbroken widower drifts through the neon-lit streets on a haunting, surreal odyssey to reconnect with her memory. As the line between past and present blurs, a pulsating soundtrack by Manchester band The Flints guides him through a journey of love, loss, and the strange beauty of grief.

Look At My Furniture - Behold the mutant birth story of "David Lynch Has a Painting Made of Flies Eyes," a "documentary rock song" by Butch Vig + the Silversun Pickups . This film isn't so much a "making of" as it is a kaleidoscopic narrative cocktail-- distilling the creative energy that burbled up from the universe when Vig experienced a series of serendipitous encounters with the legendary "Eraserhead" auteur.

The Machine Room - A grieving musician finds herself drawn to a decrepit church crypt as she seeks to break her creative block.

Seesaw - Strangers who come across a foolhardy boy develop a friendship, but only after a tense game of back and forth.

Parallel Lines - Lying in this room right next to him, the weight of silence is suffocating. I don't make beds but I've been making the one we're in.
