Available to book: ALBERT EINSTEIN: STILL A REVOLUTIONARY

Albert Einstein was a world renowned celebrity, greeted like a rock star whenever he appeared in public. An outspoken social and political activist, Einstein was an anti-war firebrand who was on the right side of controversial issues like women’s rights, racism and nuclear arms control. He warned the world early on that Hitler was intent on war and the destruction of the Jewish people, and was strategic and effective in helping to rescue Jews from the Nazis before World War II.

In the 65 years since his death his fiery image has been neutered into that of a charmingly unworldly genius, preoccupied with the rarefied world of physics. Using a wealth of rarely seen archival footage, letters to and from Einstein, and new and illuminating interviews, filmmaker Julia Newman goes beyond the legend to tell the inspiring and true story of the 20th Century’s most famous savant.

Confucian Dream

Filmmaker Mijie Li's first feature (she co-produced American Factory) is an observational documentary about a Chinese woman's embrace of the ancient philosophy of Confucianism and how it affects her family.

Chaoyan, a young wife and mother, believes the ancient teachings of Confucianism will restore balance, respect and morality to her home. But her husband finds the daily practice excessive. While Confucianism's primary purpose is to instill peace and harmony, the opposite occurs, bringing forth a gripping portrait of marital and parental crisis.

City Dreamers

Through original interviews, archival material and stunning cinematography, filmmaker Joseph Hillel explores how four trailblazing architects – Phyllis Lambert, Blanche Lemco van Ginkel, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander and Denise Scott Brown – have been observing, thinking about, and working on the transformations shaping the city of today and tomorrow.

As the world becomes increasingly urbanized, the insights of these forward-thinking women who have built social and environmental values into their work seem more relevant now than ever.
