9 Wins/Nominations including 3 Wins @ Barcelona-Sant Jordi International Film Festival
Keith Jarrett’s legendary performance in January 1975 nearly didn’t happen. Based on a true story, Köln 75 follows how the concert was conceived and orchestrated by the efforts of a teenage up and coming concert promoter, Vera Brandes, (played by German actress Mala Emde). Her enthusiasm set her to multitasking — from organizing the concert venue (the Cologne Opera House), promoting the event, and selling the tickets, to convincing Jarrett to perform when he almost dropped out when the Bösendorfer Imperial Grand piano he was promised was nowhere to be found. John Magaro plays Jarrett with his own intensity, a sublime counterpoint to Mala Emde’s joyful portrayal of the enthusiastic and unstoppable Vera. Köln 75 captures the compelling, entertaining and, until now, unknown back story about Jarrett’s one-hour, entirely improvised concert, which became the best-selling solo album in jazz history.

2 wins & 3 nominations including the top prize at Venice Film Festival
Winner of the Golden Lion Best Film prize at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is the eagerly-awaited new film from Jim Jarmusch. Funny, tender and astutely observed, this is an intimate exploration of the universal intricacies of family dynamics. Starring Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat. Told in the form of a triptych divided into chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, each story concerns the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Blending remarkable performances from its ensemble cast with Jarmusch’s wry and idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, the iconic indie director’s latest serves as a timely reminder that you can choose your friends and your lovers, but you can’t choose your family.

72 Wins/Nominations including nomination for Best Film at Venice, and Best Feature at Gotham
Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.
In this fifth teaming of director Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone is a return to form, a dizzying, wild ride of a story that ranks right up there with the filmmaker’s best films THE FAVORITE, THE LOBSTER, DOGTOOTH. With bravura turns from both Stone and a magnificently unhinged Jesse Plemons, who won the Cannes Best Actor prize for playing three different roles in KINDS OF KINDNESS, this film lives on the edge of complete absurdity but with just enough credibility in its wildest moments to give it a place of honor in the paranoid thriller genre.
Here Plemons plays Teddy, a disgruntled guy who blames the world for his own miserable life but seems ready to act on his belief that the ecological disasters of the modern world, the opioid experiment that put his mother into a permanent coma, and his own failures are really the work of Michelle (Stone), the uber-slick corporate CEO of a pharmaceutical bioengineering company. Teddy, who also is a beekeeper, as we see at the beginning of the film, and his shy cousin Don set out to kidnap her, convinced she is really an alien sent to destroy Earth.

As the bickering group drives around Tehran with the captive, they must confront how far to take matters into their own hands with their presumed tormentor. From master filmmaker Jafar Panahi comes a searing moral thriller that engages with complex ideas about the uncertainty of the truth and the choice between revenge and mercy, as director Jafar Panahi ( NO BEARS, 3 FACES) turns his personal dissonance into a profound and galvanizing work of art.

Stars Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Elle Fanning, and Anders Danielsen Lie.

Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho delivers one of the year’s greatest films with The Secret Agent, a sly, genre-bending political thriller starring Wagner Moura in a brilliant performance as Marcelo, a technology researcher on the lam in 1977 during Brazil’s notorious military dictatorship. Told in three parts, and toggling between multiple timelines, The Secret Agent reveals its plot in a puzzle-play of intrigue and information that reflects the ways in which truth is often concealed and memory contradicted under oppressive regimes.
