Lucrecia Martel
In 2009, a man and two accomplices try to evict members of the Indigenous community of Chuschagasta in northern Argentina. Claiming ownership of the land and armed with guns, they kill the community’s leader, Javier Chocobar. The murder is caught on video. It takes nine years of protests before court proceedings are finally opened in 2018. During all this time, the killers remain free. The film combines the voices and photographs of the community with courtroom footage to explore the long history of colonialism and land dispossession that led to this crime.

James Keach
SCREENING FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY! This visionary music documentary traces the turbulent, transcendent life of Gregg Allman — from a childhood ruptured by his father’s murder to the soulful emergence that reshaped American music. Through archival recordings, candid interviews, and electric performances, the film follows Gregg’s musical awakening amid the blues he worshipped, the creation of the Allman Brothers Band with his brother, Duane that would birth Southern Rock, and the grief that followed Duane’s fatal motorcycle crash. The Music of My Soul explores Gregg’s lifelong battle with addiction, his seven marriages (including his high-profile union with Cher), and the late-life sobriety that allowed him to reckon with his past. The film examines not just the artist’s private wounds but the wider American psyche — race, loss, longing, and reinvention — during Gregg’s lifetime. Musicians, friends, and family illuminate how an integrated band in the segregated South challenged boundaries while forging a sound that was both raw and redemptive.

Cheryl Dunye
The wry, incisive debut feature by Cheryl Dunye gave cinema something bracingly new and groundbreaking: a vibrant representation of Black lesbian identity by a Black lesbian filmmaker. Dunye stars as Cheryl, a video-store clerk and aspiring director whose interest in forgotten Black actresses leads her to investigate an obscure 1930s performer known as the Watermelon Woman, whose story proves to have surprising resonances with Cheryl’s own life as she navigates a new relationship.

Dawn Porter
Celebrate Juneteenth at Sidewalk with this free screening! Using interviews and rare archival footage, John Lewis: Good Trouble chronicles Lewis’ 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and immigration. Using present-day interviews with Lewis, now 80 years old, Porter explores his childhood experiences, his inspiring family and his fateful meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1957. In addition to her interviews with Lewis and his family, Porter’s primarily cinéma verité film also includes interviews with political leaders, Congressional colleagues, and other people who figure prominently in his life. *This is a free event. Tickets are strongly recommended but not required. SEATING IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.*
