Featured Trailers:
🎥 The Luthier by Jon Adelman
The Luthier: The Ballad of Amnon Weinstein lyrically explores a master craftsman’s lifelong dedication to restoring violins, including the world famous collection of Holocaust violins known as the Violins of Hope, which would become his passion, his obsession, and ultimately his legacy.
🎥 The Art of Scars by Jess Walters
The Art of Our Scars follows artist Jess Walters through kidney failure, dialysis, and transplant, highlighting the interdependence of human health. After being diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Disease, Walters brought their disabled and recovering body into arts spaces, challenging stigmas that deem chronically ill and disabled lives unfulfilling, unpretty, or unworthy. Featuring Walters and their living donor, Charles Nichols, the film reveals the hidden realities of surgery and recovery. Sharing the stories of their scars, Walters invites viewers to confront taboos and recognize the universality of their experience.
