Edward Hopper & Marshall's House is a short visit through five generations of a family's history, focusing on the artist who captured their home one sunny Fall morning in 1932. Edward Hopper revolutionized the illustration of light for artists in the 20th century. His painting of the Marshall house in South Truro, MA., Cape Cod is perhaps the most telling instance of his technique. A meditative short film, Edward Hopper & Marshall’s House presents how the concept of family and an artist’s work can reach beyond the confines of a period.
“At MoMA, there's a fantastic painting, “Man with a Guitar” by Georges Braque…a man and guitar merge. Ever since I was probably 17 years of age, that painting has been pretty central to me. I often wondered what would George Braque’s guitar sound like? I think if you look at that image, it's hard to see what is man and what is guitar.”
—Keith Rowe
“The new short film by Bob Burnett, “What Is Man And What Is Guitar? Keith Rowe”, is one of the best films about a musician I’ve seen.”

The Elmora Troopers, a Little League team from Elizabeth, N.J., made it all the way to the Little League World Series this year. Using sportsmanship, caring, and community spirit, to redefine what “win” really means, they caught the attention and love of their city, and eventually the whole nation. This is a story of how baseball changed Elizabeth forever.
Richard Thompson was renowned among cartoonists as the "artist's" cartoonist. Little known to all but those close to him is the extent of his extraordinary art, a gift so rare that it compelled "Calvin and Hobbes" creator, Bill Watterson, to break an almost 20 year silence and declare, "Now I have a reason to read comics again". This warm and moving portrait will enlighten and delight with the sheer beauty of his work.
