1. Sun Jul 16 – TOMMY’S HONOUR – 1 hr 52 min – PG. A Golfer’s Delight. Set against the early days of the sport and stunning landscape of Scotland, TOMMY'S HONOUR is based on the intimate and powerfully moving true story of the challenging relationship between "Old" Tom Morris (Peter Mullan) and "Young" Tommy Morris (Jack Lowden), the dynamic father-son team who ushered in the modern game of golf. As their fame grew exponentially, Tom and Tommy, Scotland's Golf Royalty, were touched by drama and personal tragedy. At first matching his father's success, Tommy's talent and fame grew to outshine his father's accomplishments as founder of the Open Championship in 1860. To this day, the 17-year-old holds the title of the youngest Major Champion of all time. In contrast to his public persona, Tommy's inner turmoil ultimately led him to rebel against the aristocracy who gave him opportunity. “Like the Masters Tournament and Masterpiece Theater rolled into one: beautiful fairways, polite gentlemen, and a little drama every now and then.” –David Lewis, S.F. Chronicle. 2. Sun Jul 23 – THE WEDDING PLAN – 1 hr 50 min – PG. In Hebrew with English subtitles.

Unwilling to return to lonely single life, Michal decides to put her trust in God and continue with her wedding plans, believing Mr. Right will appear by her chosen date. Confident she will find a match made in heaven, she books a venue, sends out invitations and buys a wedding dress, as her skeptical mother and sister look on with trepidation. During Michal's month-long search for a spouse, she enlists the help of two different matchmakers, goes on a series of disastrous blind dates and finds an unexpected connection with a charming but utterly unsuitable pop star (Oz Zehavi). As the day of the ceremony grows closer and no suitor appears, Michal puts everything on the line to find happiness. “Once this measured film kicks in, predictability falls away, sending Michal on a twisty, awkward, darkly humorous and emotionally raw march toward her wedding day.” – Gary Goldstein, L.A.

In Deconstructing The Beatles’ Revolver, composer/producer Scott Freiman takes Beatles fans young and old into the studio with The Beatles as they create their seminal 1966 album, Revolver.

Deconstructing The Beatles’ Revolver explores the groundbreaking production techniques that went into creating this landmark piece of music history. In addition to many of the tracks from Revolver, Mr. Freiman will also explore the creation of two other songs recorded during the same time period, “Paperback Writer” and “Rain.”

8. Sun Sep. 3 – HARE KRISHNA! THE MANTRA, THE MOVEMENT AND THE SWAMI WHO STARTED IT ALL – 1 hr 30 min. Hare Krishna! is a documentary on the life of Srila Prabhupada –the 70-year-old Indian Swami who arrived in America without support or money in the turbulent 1960s. It explores how he ignited the worldwide cultural revolution of spiritual consciousness, known as the Hare Krishna movement. Hare Krishna! follows the true story of an unexpected, prolific, and controversial revolutionary. Using never-before-seen archival verite, Prabhupada’s own recorded words, and interviews with his early followers, the film takes the audience behind-the-scenes of a cultural movement born in the artistic and intellectual scene of New York’s Bowery, the hippie mecca of Haight Ashbury, and the Beatle mania of London, to meet the Swami who started it all. “The dynamic direction of this documentary sweeps us along into the forward momentum of this devotional path. It springs from the seeds planted in a small storefront in New York City's Bowery, is nurtured in the counterculture of San Francisco's Haight Ashbury, and then gets new impetus when it is proclaimed in Beatle singer and songwriter George Harrison's international hit "My Sweet Lord." -Frederic & Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Practice.
