A FABULOUS FEATURE OR STUNNING SHORTS:
It's Only Life After All
Directed by Alexandria Bombach
With forty years of making music as the iconic folk-rock band Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have made their mark as musicians, songwriters, and dedicated activists. They have represented radical self-acceptance to many – leading now multiple generations of fans to say, “the Indigo Girls saved my life.” Still, Amy and Emily battled misogyny, homophobia, and a harsh cultural climate chastising them for not fitting into a female pop star mold. With joy, humor, and heart-warming moments, Sundance award-winning director Alexandria Bombach brings us into a contemporary conversation with Amy and Emily – alongside decades of the band’s home movies and intimate present-day verité.
Anne
Directed by Desiree Abeyta
Two actresses have made it to the final callbacks for the role of a lifetime: to play Anne Frank in an upcoming staged production. But as the topic of color-blind casting makes its way into the audition room, a controversial conversation emerges.
The Best Chef in the World
Directed by Ben Proudfoot
The French Laundry, run by legendary chef Thomas Keller, has often been recognized as the best restaurant in the world, but few know the story of its original founder, Sally Schmitt.
Makeover Movie
Directed by Sue Ding

Directed by Nicole Gormley & Nancy Kwon
Battling deep depression, Jaeyoun returns to her roots on the island of Marado, South Korea, to visit her family of female free divers known as haenyeo.
Choked Up
