twa FliGht 800FestivalPremiere•U.S.A.•86minutes
Directed by Kristina Borjesson. With Tom Stalcup, Ph.D., Henry F. Hughes, Robert Young, James Speer.
Premium network EPIX presents a stunning American documentary, TWA Flight 800, followed by a Q & A panel discussion with the filmmakers, Kristina Borjesson and Tom Stalcup. TWA Flight 800 presents the saga of the catastrophic crash off the south shore of Long Island on July 17, 1996. At the time, it was called “the largest aviation investigation in U.S. and world history.” But it was also the most controversial. Now, a team of insiders from that investigation comes forward in this feature documentary to uncover what really happened to TWA Flight 800. It is also the story of one extraordinary scientist, Tom Stalcup, who spent years fighting for access to documents and evidence. Thirteen years into his quest, several retired members of the official crash investigation joined him. In TWA Flight 800, these former government insiders blow the whistle on their own investigation and spend two years helping the scientist uncover the truth. What follows is a story of intense personal journeys and a grand-scale exposé with breathtaking implications. Theproducer/directorofTWA Flight 800 is print and broadcast journalist Kristina Borjesson, who edited and contributed to the book, Into the Buzzsaw: Leading Journalists Expose the Myth of a Free Press, for which she won the National Press Club’s Arthur Rowse Award. Jeff Segansky, entertainment industry vet-eran and former president of CBS Broadcasting is executive producer. TWA Flight 800 in an EPIX Original Documentary with a premiere date on EPIX and EpixHD.com on July 17, 2013.

Written and directed by Alexandra Bégin, Guillaume Collin and Jesse Kray. With Alexandra Bégin and Jesse Kray. In English and French with subtitles.
Alex decides to hit the road and drives straight to Atlanta to her cousin Jesse’s house. They haven’t seen each other for eight years but were once inseparable. It is the memory of that bond that gets Jesse to agree to a road trip. They have no plan, no itinerary, no destination, just a desire to explore. Soft Gun was created by University students looking for a summer project. Securing a modest budget, the crew of seven young filmmakers created a highly original story.

Directed and written by Greg ‘Freddy’ Camalier.With Aretha Franklin, Mick Jagger, Alicia Keys, Bono, John Paul White, Gregg Allman, Keith Richards, Steve Winwood, Jimmy Cliff, Rick Hall.
Muscle Shoals is a small Alabama town on theTennessee River—an unlikely breeding ground for some of America’s most creative music. At its heart is Rick Hall, the founder of FAME Studios, who put together a recording studio and a house band (The Swampers). Overcoming poverty and personal tragedy, he brought black and white together in Alabama’s cauldron of racial hostility to create music for the generations while giving birth to the Muscle Shoals sound.
Among the tracks created there are “I’ll Take You There,” “Brown Sugar,” “Wild Horses,” “When a Man Loves a Woman,” “I Never Loved a Man the Way That I Loved You,” “Mustang Sally,” “Tell Mama,” “Kodachrome,” and“Freebird.”
Produced by Stephen Badger, Greg ‘Freddy’ Camalier. Edited by Richard Lowe. Director of Photography: Anthony Arendt. From Magnolia Pictures.
In this documentary, legendary artists including Aretha Franklin, Greg Allman, Bono, Clarence Carter, Jimmy Cliff, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Wilson Pickett, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge, Steve Winwood and others bear witness to Muscle Shoals’ magnetism, mystery and influence.
