In Apollo 11, director Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13)crafts from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, a film that takes you straight to the heart of NASA’s most celebrated mission — the one that first put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names.
Little Woods is set in North Dakota, in a fracking boomtown well beyond its prime. Ollie is trying to survive the last few days of her probation after getting caught illegally running prescription pills over the Canadian border. But when her mother dies, she is thrust back into the life of her estranged sister Deb, who is facing her own crisis with an unplanned pregnancy and a deadbeat ex. The film is a taut and affecting thriller about sisters pushed to extremes from award-winning director Nia DaCosta.
Cinema on the Square will continue June 6-7 withe Oscar nominated documentary short films, and June 20-21 with Her Smell and Hail Satan?
