Following the finale of his acclaimed HBO series "How To with John Wilson", NYC documentarian John Wilson looks to the bedrock of his beloved New York City for inspiration and structure. Concrete, the world's most widely used building material, appears as an ever-present life force, and John sets out to make the definitive documentary on the matter. After attending a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, he decides to use the industry-approved Hallmark formula to tell this seemingly drab story and increase his movie's appeal. But his foundation soon begins to crumble--literally and figuratively--as he struggles to balance artistic freedom with the realities of the modern film industry.

Opens for Thanksgiving Weekend
on WEDNESDAY, Nov 25th
Tells two alternating stories, one starring Elsa (Bárbara Lennie), an advertising director, in 2004, during a long weekend in December. The second takes place in 2026 and stars Raúl (Leonardo Sbaraglia), a screenwriter and director who is writing a script that we soon discover is the story of Elsa, her boyfriend Bonifacio (Patrick Criado), and her friends Patricia (Victoria Luengo) and Natalia (Milena Smit). Mixed with fiction, Elsa is, in a way, Raúl's alter ego, who, like him, resorts to autofiction as a solution to a long period of creative drought. He looks inside himself, and he can't help but also look at the people who make up his most intimate universe: his partner and his assistant. The film narrates the close relationship between reality and fiction, between inspiration and life, exploring the limits of autofiction and stories within stories.

SEEDS FOR LIBERATION
liberation IS A SHARED STRUGGLE
Saturday, DEC 5th | 3pm - 5:30pm
Doors at 2:30pm
TICKETS AVAILABLE SOON!!
Why This Film?
SEEDS FOR LIBERATION was born out of a deep urgency —
not just to document, but to connect. The events of October 7, 2023, became a global flashpoint, but for many, they marked a continuation of a struggle nearly eight decades in the making. As a filmmaker, Director Matthew Solomon wanted to center Palestinian voices while also situating their liberation within a broader legacy of anti-imperialist and decolonial movements — from Black resistance in the U.S. to Chicano activism and beyond. In a world saturated with filtered narratives and state-sponsored erasure, social media has cracked open a window — giving us raw, direct access to the truths on the ground. This film asks: What does solidarity truly look like? And how do our struggles for justice — across geography, race, and history — grow from the same seed?
Film Synopsis
SEEDS FOR LIBERATION explores Palestinian resistance through emotional and impactful interviews with historians, activists, and experts. The film shows how social media has exposed daily life in Gaza and the West Bank, challenging dominant Western narratives. It highlights a transnational, anti-imperialist struggle rooted in solidarity and collective justice.
In this new documentary from Director Matthew Solomon and Executive Producer Donna Hadjikhani of “Reimagining Safety,” joined by Executive Producer Alana Hadid, experts discuss the impact of Palestine’s 77-year occupation by Israeli forces, the role social media has played in mobilizing global support, and provide a roadmap for collective liberation.
The film includes impactful and emotional interviews with legal scholars, activists, and members of The Black Liberation Army, La Raza Unida, and the Stop Cop City movement who illustrate the effects of Israeli and U.S. imperialism and colonialism, what “Free Palestine” means, and how it can be achieved.
