    Recommended ages 8+

mt
Mount Lawrence is a feature length documentary following Chandler Wild on his 6,700 mile bicycle ride from New York City to the end of the Western Road in Alaska. The trip was inspired by the need to reconnect with his father, a man who taught him the skills necessary to survive on the back roads of America, and a man who committed suicide in 2007. In an attempt to try and understand what his father left him and who he was, Chandler embarks on his journey with the goal of reaching the end, and once there, naming a mountain after his father.

8:15 Listening 

       with short film I’ve Just Had a Dream
Recommended ages 13+ (violence and adult situations)
L

Listening (98min, USA) This powerful debut feature from visionary director Khalil Sullins excites as a psychological thriller about penniless grad students who invent mind-reading technology that destroys their lives. David (Thomas Stroppel), Ryan (Artie Ahr), and Jordan (Amber Marie Bollinger) hope inventing telepathy will solve all their problems, but quickly learn that when you open your mind, there is nowhere to hide your thoughts. Their bleeding-edge technology opens a Pandora’s box of new dangers, especially when it falls into the wrong hands. In a color-saturated vision of present-day science fiction, friends are forced against each other in a life-or-death battle over not only the privacy of our minds, but the future of human free will itself.
I’ve Just Had a Dream (8min, Spain) Two girls. Two cultures. Two visions. A dream. They say that dreams are dreams. The only thing that makes them different is the person who dreams.

10:30 The Grace of Jake
Recommended ages 13+ (violence and adult situations)
GJ

The Grace of Jake (90min, USA) Ex-inmate and wandering musician Jake travels to a small town in Arkansas intent on exacting revenge from his father, but begins to unravel a complicated family history as he befriends the locals.
