The Ister is a 3000km journey to the heart of Europe, from the mouth of the Danube river on the Black Sea, to its source in the German Black Forest. Hailed by Scott Foundas of Variety as "a philosophical feast?at which it is possible to gorge oneself yet leave feeling elated,? the film is based on the work of one of the most influential and controversial philosophers of the 20th century, Martin Heidegger, who in 1933 swore allegiance to the National Socialists. By joining a vast philosophical narrative with an epic voyage along Europe?s greatest waterway, The Ister invites you to unravel the extraordinary past and future of ?the West.?

Awarded the National Research Cinemas Association (GNCR) Prize at the Marseille International Documentary Festival in 2004, and the Quebec Film Critic?s Association Documentary Prize at the Festival du Nouveau Cin?ma Montr?al, 2004.

Showing of the massive film 'The Artist', the silent movie that was the big winner at this year's Oscars!

Woody Allen's 'Midnight In Paris' stars Owen Wilson as Gil Pender, an American screenwriter holidaying in Paris who is forced to confront the shortcomings of his relationship with his fianc?e and their divergent goals due to his magical experiences in the city beginning each night at midnight.

A very carefully reasoned, well-produced documentary on the abortion industry, class warfare, institutional racism and eugenics.

The film is an expose of the racism of abortion in modern times, delving into Planned Parenthood's origins and its "150-year-old goal of exterminating the black population."

This film is shocking and painful to watch because of how well it exposes the great fault of mankind: hatred for his own brother.
