The creator of Hamilton and the director of Crazy Rich Asians invite you to the event of the summer, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big. Lights up on Washington Heights… The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life. In the Heights fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda’s kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu’s lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience. (PG-13, 143 mins)

From Oscar winning director Caroline Link (Best Foreign Language Film for Nowhere in Africa) comes an adaptation of British author Judith Kerr’s classic novel based on her childhood memories. The story of a Jewish family’s escape from 1933 Berlin to Switzerland is told from the perspective of the author’s alter ego, ten year-old Anna Kemper (Riva Krymalowski in her feature film debut). Anna is too busy with schoolwork and friends to notice Hitler’s face glaring from posters plastered all over 1933 Berlin. But when her father (Oliver Masucci) — based on the prominent theater critic Alfred Kerr — suddenly vanishes, the family is secretly hurried out of Germany. Anna begins to understand life will never be the same as she and her family become refugees. In German with subtitles. (119 mins)

“Caroline Link brings handsome period production values and a lyrical, restrained sensibility to a narrative that might not qualify as riveting, but exerts its own unmistakable emotional pull.” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

Moby helped define the music of an era with his 1999 album Play that became the biggest-selling electronic album of all time. But by 2008, fame, alcohol, and drug use overwhelmed him to the point of his contemplating suicide. He had gotten everything he wanted… so why was he so depressed? This surrealist biographical documentary is narrated by Moby and features interviews with filmmaker David Lynch and concert footage of his performances with David Bowie. An activist who has long championed animal rights, Moby delves into himself to share with radical honesty what he’s gone through, and how he has been able to overcome his inner demons. (92 mins)

“The modest pleasure of “Moby Doc” is that it’s actually a conventional archival biography of Moby tucked inside a playful Dadaesque ramble.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety
