Following the critically-acclaimed world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival, Between Me and My Mind comes to movie theaters nationwide for a special one-night-only screening on Wednesday, July 17. A few minutes into this intimate look at the creative process of founding Phish guitarist and vocalist Trey Anastasio, it is clear that he is exploding with his unique brand of songwriting and creativity. As the front man of one of America’s longest lasting and most successful touring bands and a solo musician as well, Anastasio’s virtuosic musicianship has made him an icon, beloved by his die-hard fanbase for the depth of his artistic output and the boundless enthusiasm that he exudes on stage and off.

Between Me and My Mind captures Trey as he works through some of his most personal song ideas to date, placing his relationships with friends and family at its core. At the same time, he prepares for one of Phish’s legendary New Year’s Eve shows at Madison Square Garden, culminating with the exhilarating, elaborately produced moment when the clock strikes midnight on-stage. This is an eye-opening exploration of the method behind Anastasio’s magic, told with the same loving warmth that endears him to his legions of fans.

Inspired to write because no one took a “little black girl” seriously, Toni Morrison reflects on her lifelong deconstruction of the master narrative. The Nobel prize-winning author and Princeton University professor leads an assembly of her peers, critics and colleagues on an exploration of race, America, history and the human condition as seen through the prism of her own work – including critically acclaimed novels as ‘The Bluest Eye’, ‘Sula’, ‘Song of Solomon’, and her role as an editor of iconic African-American literature. (119 mins)

“In verbally recounting her history, Morrison proves almost as engaging as she in print, a wise and sensitive voice.” – Pat Brown, Slant Magazine

“Enlivened both by its own storytelling dexterity and by the participation of its subject, who at 88 years old remains as warm, vibrant and insightful as ever.” – Nick Schager, Variety

Dani (Florence Pugh) and Christian (Jack Reynor) are a young American couple with a troubled relationship. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when they are invited to partake in the ritual festivities. From filmmaker Ari Aster, the director of Hereditary. (140 mins)

“Like the fretful violins that stagger raggedly over the soundtrack, the skin-pricking pleasures of Midsommar aren’t rational, they’re instinctive: a thrilling, seasick freefall into the light.” – Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly

“A savage yet evolved slice of Swedish folk-horror, Ari Aster’s hallucinatory follow-up to Hereditary proves him a horror director with no peer.” – Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out

“Many things are possible in ‘Midsommar,’ but the surest is that there’s nothing else like it at the movies.” – John Anderson, Wall Street Journal

Legendary talk-show host Katherine Newberry (Emma Thompson) is the only woman ever to have a long-running program on late night. She keeps the show’s writers’ room on a short leash ― and all male. But when her ratings plummet and she is accused of being a “woman who hates women,” Katherine impulsively hires Molly Patel (Mindy Kaling), a chemical plant efficiency expert from suburban Pennsylvania, as the first and only female on her creative staff. But can Molly navigate the show’s entrenched hierarchy and make Katherine and her show more personal and relevant? (R, 102 mins)

“Humor can be a great equalizer, and Thompson and Kaling are terrific as two women who are funny as hell and should never be underestimated.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

“Emma Thompson gives an incredible performance from comedic timing to emotional sequences. Mindy Kaling may be a comedy phenom, but she moves the audience with her performance.” – Brooke Daugherty, Pop Culture Leftovers

An explosion of new music came out of L.A.’s Laurel Canyon beginning in the mid-60s as folk went electric. Rock musicians gravitated to L.A. music studios to emulate the The Beatles and the British invasion. This new doc hosted by Jakob Dylan includes stories and performances from The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, The Mamas and the Papas, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and Jackson Browne, along with Brits who moved to the canyon such as Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr. Younger contemporary musicians who were influenced by the songwriting of the era include Tom Petty (in his very last film interview), Beck, Fiona Apple, Cat Power, Regina Spektor and Norah Jones. (82 mins)

“The delight of Echo in the Canyon is in the delicious details its subjects impart.” – Helen Verongos, The New York Times

“Rich with revealing observations and engaging anecdotes, Andrew Slater’s documentary skirts the nostalgia trap by entertainingly connecting with an impressive lineup of contemporary singer-songwriters referencing the influential ’60s pop style with their own releases.” – Justin Lowe, The Hollywood Reporter

“A combination musical documentary and concert film right up there with the all-time greats.” – Film Threat

Featuring never-before-seen footage, concert performances and intimate interviews, filmmaker Ron Howard (The Beatles: Eight Days A Week) examines the life and career of famed opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti. Created from a combination of Luciano Pavarotti’s genre-redefining performances and granted access to never-before-seen footage, the film will give audiences around the world a stunningly intimate portrait of the most beloved opera singer of all time. (114 mins)

“The genius of Pavarotti’s voice is that it had the power to heal. The movie pays ample testament to how that voice, for 40 years, poured out of him, rapturous and tragic, soaring on wings of pure emotion, at times wracked with a spiritual pain that was surely his own, but always lifting his audience to the mountaintop of beauty, saying, ‘This is where I live. And you can too.’” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

“Even for opera neophytes who couldn’t tell a soprano from a tenor, Ron Howard’s brisk, engaging film capably maps out an art form that Luciano Pavarotti ruled for decades, including enough technical insight to go along with an overview of the maestro’s personal and professional highlights.” – Tim Grierson, Screen International

“A happy-sad drama of starstruck fever that lifts you up and sweeps you along, touching you down in a puddle of well-earned tears.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

“Ultimately, of course, it’s Buckley who makes Rose-Lynn soar off the screen. It’s a dazzling, raw, intoxicating performance, and when she sings, it’s simply electric.” – Yolanda Machado, TheWrap

The founding member of and bassist for The Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman, opens up his vast personal archive—a lifetime’s worth of previously unseen home movies and photographs. Wyman reflects on his search for “normalcy” amidst the whirlwind of sex, drugs, and rebellion. Wyman pulls back the curtain to offer a one-of-a-kind perspective on life as a reluctant rock star. (105 mins)

“The Quiet One, an engaging documentary on Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones, explores his musical contributions and the contradictions inherent in his life story.” – Glenn Kenny, The New York Times

“A banquet for Stones aficionados, an insider’s scrapbook of memories and glimpses of an illustrious history that Wyman, without his vast collection, would be little more than a footnote to.” – Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle

Award-winning filmmaker Aviva Kempner (The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg) tells the real story of Moe Berg, major league baseball player-turned-spy. In this first ever documentary about the enigmatic Moe Berg, Kempner again focuses her camera on a little-known Jewish hero – from the streets of Newark to five major league teams during baseball’s Golden Age to his secret life working for the OSS in WWII. Amazingly, he departs his baseball career for a mission to infiltrate Nazi Germany. Moe Berg’s life was dramatized in last year’s biopic, The Catcher Was a Spy. (96 mins)

“There’s much to absorb throughout ‘The Spy Behind Home Plate,’ and sometimes details speed by too fast or digressions go on a bit long. Still, Kempner’s passion for her remarkable subject is always evident.” – Ken Jaworowski, The New York Times

“I found it mesmerizing and can’t think of another public figure whose biography contains so many surprises and revelations.” – Leonard Maltin, leonardmaltin.com”

She re-mortgaged her home and bought a secondhand boat, but Tracy was also beset by crippling doubts and was only able to make it through with the support of her remarkable crew. With their help she went on to shock the sports world and prove that women are very much the equal of men. (PG, 97 mins)

“A documentary with all the nervous-making energy of a first-rate drama.” – John Anderson, Wall Street Journal

“Rita’s Back” was the headline in newspapers around the world in 1952 when Rita Hayworth, Hollywood’s anointed “love goddess,” returned to movies after a four-year absence, during which she was married to Prince Aly Khan, thus becoming a princess long before Grace Kelly. One of your most requested movies has been a repeat of Gilda, the love-hate scorcher, but we’ve gone one better here with Rita dancing barefoot to a number called “The Trinidad Lady,” plus another called “I’ve Been Kissed Before,” both choreographed by the great modern dancer Valerie Bettis. And, once more, her co-star is Glenn Ford. They hate each other so much that they’re in love —again. Surprisingly, this film actually outgrossed Gilda at the box office. Set against a backdrop of suspenseful foreign intrigue, its supporting cast includes Alexander Scourby and Juanita Moore (who later was Oscar-nominated for Imitation of Life). A rare find, this film has not been seen on a big screen in 50 years, thus making it a “new” film. Directed by Victor Sherman, it’s an affair to remember. (1952, 98 mins)
