LITTLE RICHARD: I AM EVERYTHING
Sundance opening night documentary LITTLE RICHARD: I AM EVERYTHING tells the story of the Black queer origins of rock n’ roll, exploding the whitewashed canon of American pop music to reveal the innovator – the originator – Richard Penniman. Through a wealth of archive and performance that brings us into Richard’s complicated inner world, the film unspools the icon’s life story with all its switchbacks and contradictions. In interviews with family, musicians, and cutting-edge Black and queer scholars, the film reveals how Richard created an art form for ultimate self-expression, yet what he gave to the world he was never able to give to himself. Throughout his life, Richard careened like a shiny cracked pinball between God, sex and rock n’ roll. The world tried to put him in a box, but Richard was an omni being who contained multitudes – he was unabashedly everything.

THE HOLE IN THE FENCE (El hoyo en la cerca) by Joaquin del Paso
At a secluded exclusive summer camp in the Mexican countryside, under the watchful eyes of their adult guardians, boys from a prestigious private school receive physical, moral and religious training to turn them into tomorrow’s elite. The discovery of a hole in the fence sets in motion a chain of disturbing events as the boys devolve into a Lord of the Flies-like mob mentality that creates and spreads hysteria in this profoundly disturbing coming-of-age drama that unravels like a horror movie while drawing on actual events. Features an original score by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein (Stranger Things). Winner - Best Cinematography - Venice Film Festival; Golden Pyramid - Cairo Int. Film Festival.
Opens June 2
8:00 pm nightly
THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS
An epic journey of friendship and self-discovery set in the breathtaking Italian Alps, THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS follows over four decades the profound, complex relationship between Pietro (Luca Marinelli) from Milan, and Bruno (Alessandro Borghi), who grew up in an isolated mountainside village. From the filmmakers behind Academy Award®-nominee The Broken Circle Breakdown, and based on the bestselling novel by Paolo Cognetti.

PERSIAN LESSONS by Ukrainian auteur Vadim Perelman (THE HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG)
Set in occupied France in 1942, Persian Lessons follows Gilles (Nahuel Peìrez Biscayart), a Belgian Jew, who narrowly avoids sudden execution by swearing to the guards that he’s Persian, not Jewish. While the lie temporarily saves him, Gilles is then assigned the extraordinary task of teaching Farsi, a language he doesn’t know, to Koch (Lars Eidinger), the officer in charge of the camp’s kitchen who dreams of opening a restaurant in Iran once the war is over. Through an inspired and clever deception, Giles not only manages to survive, but also devises an astonishing strategy to remember the names of his condemned brethren. Partially inspired by German writer Wolfgang Kohlhaase’s short story Erfindung einer Sprache (Invention of a Language), PERSIAN LESSONS tells an incredibly suspenseful story about the creativity and bravery one man utilized to survive the Holocaust. Further, the fabricated version of Farsi spoken by Biscayart was invented by a Russian philologist who used the actual names of documented Holocaust victims as a basis for the film’s vocabulary.
