The Waldheim Waltz (Waldheims Walzer)
Don’t let the title fool you: this unsettling documentary may be as gracefully crafted as an elegant dance, but the story is a dark descent into a nation’s gruesome history and a warning of the dangers of nationalism. Following the controversial 1986 Austrian presidential campaign of Kurt Waldheim, the film explores the growing revelations not only of his Nazi past but of the country’s disturbing revisionist history and the rising anti-semitism that led to his election. Documentarian and activist Ruth Beckermann deftly weaves together archival materials along with her own footage from her time protesting his candidacy, delivering a deeply personal and frightening narrative that is as relevant today as it was then. A gripping and important film that is essential viewing for anyone that cares about the direction of our nation and the world.Screen reader support enabled.

Walking on Water
After the passing of his wife and collaborator Jean-Claude, inimitable environmental artist Christo (he of
The Gates in Central Park
) finally commences work on a long-gestating project that will invite visitors to Italy's picturesque Lake Iseo to experience the sensation of walking on water. An epic undertaking that involves building floating walkways spanning over 1.9 miles, the process of bringing this magnificent vision to life is chronicled in director Andrey Paounov's documentary that delightfully reveals an irascible genius at work—tantrums and all. Taking you behind the scenes of this daunting feat of logistics and planning, you'll enjoy a taste of what it was like to see this impermanent artwork in person—to not only behold the surreal and transfixing beauty of this remarkable achievement, but to also feel a bit of the joy. And it is the joy that will most stay with you—the joy of creation, of artistic expression, and of a dream realized.

We Are the Radical Monarchs
Finding a vacuum in traditional girls' leadership-development organizations (Brownies, Girl Scouts, etc.), a group of women in the Bay Area took matters into their own hands, founding a troop that addressed the interests and needs of their community. What they established became the Radical Monarchs, reaching out to young girls of color to learn about self-acceptance, body positivity, inclusion, intersectionality, and more. Together they instill urgency for activism and social justice and provide a safe space for these often overlooked young women to come together. Not without some growing pains (and unkind words from trolls) the film follows the Radical Monarchs as they fight the power and inspire us all.
In Person: Director Linda Goldstein Knowlton; subjects Anayvette and Lupita Martinez.

Woman at War (Kona fer í stríð)
In a near flawless followup to the sensational
Of Horses and Men
, Benedikt Erlingsson gives us a truly crowdpleasing, supremely satisfying, and wonderfully unexpected environmental fable. Halla (Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir) is a beloved choir director by day, but in her free time she's the "Mountain Woman," an eco warrior who—with almost a Tom Cruise level of actioneering—employs guerrilla tactics to halt plans for a new aluminum smelter. And this unassuming middle-aged woman has been pretty effective at thwarting efforts to destroy her beautiful homeland, so much so that authorities are closing in, just as it looks like her long wait to adopt a Ukrainian child has come to end. A black comedy of untold warmth and whimsy, who knew climate change could be so rousing? All hail, Halla!

Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music
Fifty years ago this summer nearly half a million people attended the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. The fair became rock and roll’s most famous event, an iconic representation of a generation’s ideals. We’ll recreate this seminal time and place with a special outdoor screening (note the early start time!) of Michael Wadleigh's Oscar-winning rock doc that completely and poignantly captured this now mythic music celebration. So let your inner flower child out and dance and sway and sing to the performances of Crosby, Stills & Nash; The Who; Joan Baez; Jimi Hendrix; Jefferson Airplane, and many more. It may not be a field in upstate New York, but it's the Open Space, a place where you can feel the power of music in the freedom of the open air, surrounded by friends and neighbors.
Note: This film will start at 9:15 pm to accommodate the substantial runtime.

Woodstock: Three Days that Defined a Generation
Released in time for the 50th anniversary of the event, Barak Goodman and Jamila Ephron's new documentary looks back at the legendary music festival with a fresh perspective. Rather than focusing on the footage we’ve seen again and again, the film leans on striking clips of regular people. Our attention is turned to concert-goers lined up to buy supplies at the only grocer, and the kids stuck in stand-still traffic, eventually abandoning their VWs, and the thousands of strangers turned instant friends, who shared a hopeful view of a peaceful future. In August of 1969 —against the backdrop of a nation in turmoil—half a million people came together to experience the concert of a lifetime, and this film gives us a never-before-seen look into this still powerful moment.

The Wretched
Filmmaking brothers Brett and Drew Pierce return to the festival (their last film,
Deadheads
, was a TCFF sellout sensation) with their latest macabre occult thrill ride. Shot mostly in Northern Michigan and featuring many familiar locations such as the Sunset Lodge in Omena and the G. Marsten Dame Marina in Northport,
The Wretched
tells the story of a teenager who discovers that he’s living next door to a thousand-year-old witch. The film is a dead serious new spin on witchcraft cinema, with a fresh set of rules, relatable teen characters, surprising scares, comic touches, and a cauldron of gruesomely imaginative special effects makeup. Starring John-Paul Howard (
Hell or High Water
), Piper Curda (Disney Channel’s
I Didn't Do It
), and Azie Tesfai (
Jane the Virgin
), don't miss this premier midnight event!
