Sunday, December 17 at 10 pm. A real life 19th century American western adventure story about Solomon Nunes Carvalho, an observant Sephardic Jew born in 1815 in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1853, traveling with John Fremont's 5th Westward Expedition through Kansas, Colorado, Utah, and California, Carvalho became one of the first photographers to document the sweeping vistas and treacherous terrain of the far American West. Living alongside mountain men, Native Americans, and Mormons, Carvalho overcame enormous odds to produce beautiful art: daguerreotypes that became the lens through which the world experienced the West. The film interweaves stunning HD digital and 16mm film landscape cinematography, rare 19th century photographs, Carvalho's surviving artwork and daguerreotypes, and interviews with scholars and artists, including modern day daguerreotypist Robert Shlaer who recreates Carvalho's original daguerreotypes on location. The documentary is narrated by award winning actor Michael Stuhlbarg (Boardwalk Empire, Steve Jobs) with original music by Jamie Saft (composer, Murderball).

Wednesday, November 15 at 10:30 pm. Shakespeare in the Shadows sets the Bard's work against San Francisco backdrops of swirling winds, wave-pounded rocks, wild coastal promontories and foreboding cityscapes. Award-winning filmmaker Joshua Dylan Mellars captures Guildhall-trained stage actor Mark Cohen performing a riveting one man show that includes six of Shakespeare's most intriguing characters. From the mysticism of Prospero's world of rough magic to the sinister corridors of Macbeth's Dunsinane, from Rome's majestic seats of power to Duke Senior's exile in the forests of Arden, from the damp dirty prison of Richard II to Cardinal Wolsey's acceptance of his long farewell to greatness, Cohen and the camera collaborate to produce a raw and honest evocation of Shakespeare's magical conjuring of time, place and emotion.
