Bernstein’s Wall
The legendary maestro Leonard Bernstein celebrity conductor, composer, and political activist is thrillingly captured in this archival documentary portrait by Douglas Tirola (DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD). With Bernstein’s 1989 Christmas Day concert in Berlin as a frame, Tirola crafts Bernstein’s remarkable career entirely from television interviews, news footage, home movies, audio clips, and personal letters.
“Makes the case that [Bernstein’s] charge to artists to lead the way in culture is timeless, and more vital than ever… the idea that music, and art more generally, can be an elevating and engaging experience for everyone, and that it has great potential as a uniting force in a divided world.”

After years of self-imposed exile, pianist Mathias (François Civil) returns to France, where his former mentor, Elena (Charlotte Rampling), has invited him to perform a series of concerts with her in his hometown of Lyon. Once a rising star of the French musical scene and Elena's prized pupil, Mathias has spent many years teaching and performing in Japan.

Set in the small farming community of Three Oaks, Michigan home to the nation’s largest Flag Day parade Flag Day is a verité portrait of ritual, identity, and belonging in an era of deep political division. Somewhere between tradition and transformation lies this village, whose annual parade has become a pageant of American aspiration and memory. Over the course of Flag Day weekend, the film immerses viewers in the lives of a diverse cross-section of townspeople: veterans, local business owners, marching bands, and volunteers who, for one weekend each June, create an event that is at once nostalgic and reflective of the tensions of our time. Their stories reveal both the beauty and the fragility of community life in a time of polarization. Flag Day was filmed in an observational, verité style, capturing moments of humor, conflict, and grace as the community prepares for its defining ritual. The film offers a ground-level portrait of civic life a portrait that holds both the good and the hard truths of being American. The project asks what binds us together today and whether those bonds can still be renewed.

Our Hero, Balthazar
Take A Shot at Friendship
Our Hero, Balthazar is a poignant coming-of-age drama that follows Balthazar, a sensitive and imaginative teenager struggling to define himself within the confines of family expectations, social pressures, and small-town life. As he navigates adolescence, Balthazar finds refuge in art, music, and fantasy, creating a rich inner world that contrasts sharply with the emotional isolation he experiences around him. When an unexpected friendship awakens new feelings and possibilities, he is forced to confront questions about identity, belonging, and the courage required to live authentically.
Set against a vividly observed backdrop of contemporary youth culture, the film explores the fragile transition between innocence and self-awareness. Balthazar’s journey is marked by moments of humor, heartbreak, and quiet rebellion as he searches for connection in a world that often misunderstands him. Through intimate performances and lyrical storytelling, Our Hero, Balthazar captures the uncertainty and intensity of growing up while celebrating the resilience of outsiders who dare to embrace their individuality. The film ultimately becomes a moving portrait of self-discovery, empathy, and the transformative power of human connection.
