In the great tradition of child fantasy stories such as The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, Terry Gilliam takes us on a wild adventure with his adaptation of Mitch Cullin's cult classic novel. Welcome to the world of Jeliza-Rose, the young heroine and narrator of TIDELAND. Jeliza-Rose drifts from the harsh reality of her childhood and escapes into the fantasies of her own active imagination.

A FILM BY FELIX MOELLER
Though almost forgotten today, Veit Harlan was one of Nazi Germany’s most notorious filmmakers. Millions all across occupied Europe saw his films, the most perfidious of which was the treacherous anti-Semitic propaganda film JEW SÜSS —required viewing for all SS members. An unrepentant and blindly obsessive craftsman, no figure—save for Leni Riefenstahl—is as closely associated with the cinema of the Holocaust years as that of Joseph Goebbels’ top director. (Harlan’s 1945 epic Kolberg was the basis for INGLORIOUS BASTERDS' pivotal film-within-a-film Stolz Der Nation.) Harlan was also the only artist from the Nazi era to be charged with war crimes.

A FILM BY BERNARD SHAKEY
“Instead of being a straight concert documentary, RUST NEVER SLEEPS calls itself a ‘concert fantasy.’ As he was during last fall’s tour at which this was filmed, Mr. Young is discovered ‘asleep’ on top of one of the loudspeaker banks, which has been disguised as an oversized pirate chest, and ‘wakes up’ to begin the concert.

NON-THEATRICAL: AVAILABLE FOR TV, VOD & FILM FESTIVALS ONLY
Neil Young’s first feature film cost some $350,000 and remains a sought-after artifact more than 30 years after its initial release. This documentary-fantasy hybrid combines footage of Young from 1966, when he was with Buffalo Springfield, to 1972 and visual non sequiturs like black-robed horsemen on a beach, a ‘grey-faced dude’ doing card tricks and the dazed every-youth who starts out in a newly minted college graduate’s cap and gown and ends up shooting drugs by the sea…

In Greendale, Neil Young has made what he calls a “musical novel” which tells the story of a family, the murder of a cop and the evolution of a young girl named Sun Green. Not a concert film, Young himself shot actors on locations on his native Northern California home turf to create his Greendale, a rural town that is a microcosm of a world in crisis.

A FILM BY SIMON ENNIS
With wry humor and affection, Simon Ennis’ LUNARCY! follows a disparate group of dreamers and schemers who share one thing in common; they’ve all devoted their lives to the Moon. From the former ventriloquist who’s made millions selling Moon lots to the young man who’s resolved to depart for Luna (permanently), LUNARCY! is a touching and comic portrait of passion, creativity and quixotic dreams.
