The first film in history to win Audience Awards at both Sundance and the Toronto International Film Festival, PRECIOUS (presented by Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry), is a poignant, hopeful story based on the novel Push by Sapphire. Generating tremendous Oscar buzz, this Lee Daniels film stars newcomer ‘Gabby’ Sidibe as Precious - an overweight, illiterate teen, pregnant with her second child. Living in Harlem in the late 80’s with her abusive mother (Sundance Special Jury Prize winner Mo’Nique), Precious accepts a slot at an alternative school and, through education, seeks the hope and change she desperately needs. PRECIOUS also features Mariah Carey, Lenny Kravitz and Paula Patton (DÉJÀVU).

August 21st at the Angelika New York and September 18 at the Angelikas Dallas & Houston.
Featuring THE LIVES OF OTHERS star Martina Gedeck, THE BAADER MEINHOF COMLEX is a riveting, powerful, gritty account of Germany’s Red Army Faction (RAF), its initial aims and violent spiral.
BAFTA Film Award nominee Uli Edel directs this Academy Award-nominated adaptation of Stefan Aust’s best-selling book of the same title. Chronicling the initial ambitions of the RAF and the group’s resulting robberies, kidnappings and bombings, THE BAADER MEINHOF COMPLEX follows three of its prominent members: journalist Ulrike Meinhof (Gedeck), organizers Andreas Baader (Moritz Bleibtreu) and Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna Wokalek) on a journey that destroys the very humanity they seek to reclaim.
A WOMAN IN BERLIN, now playing at the Angelika in New York and set for October 2nd in Dallas, Plano and Houston, was recently featured on NPR as “…bringing new attention to an issue long considered a taboo in German society…” . A New York Times Critics’ Pick, A WOMAN IN BERLIN stars Award Winner Nina Hoss (YELLA) in this account of life in 1945 during the Red Army invasion of Berlin, based on the formerly anonymous writings of journalist and photographer Marta Hillers.
As detailed in NPR’s piece, the film, in conjunction with a university study on German rape victims, gives a long belated voice to the 2 million women who’ve held their silence for over 50 years. A timely examination of sexual violence and war, A WOMAN IN BERLIN is a “…sprawling, difficult, powerful film” (New York Times).
