A film by Joseph Dorman & Toby Perl Freilich (104 min.)
Daniel Patrick Moynihan (1927-2003) did not just live in the twentieth century, he strode across it: a colossus of ideas and a man of deeds. An influential intellectual, policy specialist, ambassador and senator, he embraced the contradictions and complexity of public policy without ever despairing of the role of government in the lives of its citizens.
Fifteen years after his death, as the nation sinks further into hyper-partisanship, the first feature documentary about his life captures Moynihan as never before.

A film by Roger Paradiso (88 min.)
What happened to the Greenwich Village that gave us Dylan, Warhol, Kerouac, Hendrix, Collins, Pryor, Ginsberg, Gaga and so many more?
With a provocative eye and fearless tone, The Lost Village explores the demise of the Village: the corporate take-over by NYU, the accelerating gentrification, the sky-high rent increases and the vanishing street artists who gave the Village its reputation. Ultimately, The Lost Village is the story of a place that is losing its heart and soul.
