There are trips, and then there are trips. Colombian director Victoria Rivera went to New Orleans for “Skull + Bone,” beautifully shot by Traverse City’s own Soren Nielsen. She captured the Northside Skull + Bone Gang waking the city before dawn on Mardi Gras with drums, chants, and ceremonial knocking on doors to warn against violence. Marta Savina’s “Viola, Franca” takes us on a trip into the not-too-distant past, 1965 Sicily, when women were forced to marry their rapists until one woman rebelled and paved the way for women’s rights. And in Daphne Matziaraki’s Oscar-nominated “4.1 Miles,” we travel with a Greek Coast Guard captain who is charged with saving thousands of refugees as they try to cross the 4.1 miles of water between Turkey and the island of Lesbos.
