Get Low (Trailer Release)

For the past forty years, Felix Bush has lived as a hermit deep in the Tennessee woods. His clothes tattered, his manner rough & his expressions buried behind a massive white beard, he's an unnerving figure when he stalks into town with his mule, shotgun in hand. Some say he's killed men with his bare hands. One day Bush walks into the local funeral parlor & announces to Frank Quinn, “'Bout time for me to get low. Down to business. I need a funeral.” More importantly, he wants a funeral party, an event that will draw all his friends & enemies to his shack in the woods for a final reckoning, & he wants to throw the party while he's still alive.

A Film Unfinished (Movie Watch)

At the end of WWII, 60 minutes of raw film, having sat undisturbed in an East German archive, was discovered. Shot by the Nazis in Warsaw in May 1942, and labeled simply “Ghetto,” this footage quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record of the Warsaw Ghetto. However, the later discovery of a long-missing reel, inclusive of multiple takes & cameraman staging scenes, complicated earlier readings of the footage. Presenting the raw footage in its entirety, carefully noting fictionalized sequences (including a staged dinner party) falsely showing “the good life” enjoyed by Jewish urbanites, probing deeper into the making of a now-infamous Nazi propaganda film. This is a film of enormous importance, documenting some of the worst horrors of our time & exposing the efforts of its perpetrators to propel their agenda & cast it in a favorable light.
