We Are Guardians.jpg

In the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, thousands of people are unlawfully encroaching upon protected lands, devastating centuries-old trees for export and exploiting rare resources. It's a critical issue that impacts us all. Enter Indigenous Brazilian forest guardian Marçal Guajajara and impassioned activist Puyr Tembé. They stand as unwavering sentinels, fighting tirelessly to shield their home from the relentless march of deforestation. Alongside them, we encounter an illegal logger, trapped in a desperate struggle to make ends meet, who sees no alternative means of survival, and a determined landowner, committed to preserving the rich ecosystem within his property, relentlessly seeking answers from local authorities, yet met with silence. Through this tapestry of perspectives, we see the economic connections to markets that link goods derived in the Amazon region to consumers around the world.

 

This is the powerful narrative at the heart of WE ARE GUARDIANS (Somos Guardiões) — a story of hope and resilience amidst an unfolding crisis. Directed by Indigenous activist Edivan Guajajara, and environmental filmmakers Chelsea Greene, and Rob Grobman, and produced by Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens with Leonardo DiCaprio serving as Executive Producer, the film isIt's an exploration of the human spirit and our collective responsibility to protect the fragile balance of our world. Ultimately illuminates the path forward, where hope and unity can guide us toward a brighter future for the Amazon and our planet.

in_the_mood_for_love_xlg-1086742606.jpg

25th Anniversary Re-release + A Rarely Seen Short Film

by director Wong Kar Wai.

 

Considered one of the greatest films of the 21st century.
Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man Yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar Wai’s IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping Bing, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past 25 years of cinema.

A coming-of-age journey following Freddy, a 17-year-old LA Westsider who is given a gun and asked to prove himself to a veteran gangster he idolizes. Miguel Angel Garcia (The Long Game) stars as conflicted teen "Freddy," Cory Hardrict (as ruthless gang father figure "Solo" and Mariel Molino (CBS "NCIS Origins") as love interest "Luna." The film was inspired by filmmaker Eric Nazarian's experience as an Armenian 
immigrant growing up in Los Angeles' northeast working-class community, where he was exposed to its prevalent gang culture. His film is a tale about the doomed codes of machismo culture that has spiraled into worsening gun violence.
