PHYLLIS AND HAROLD
Phyllis and Harold is an astoundingly frank journey through a disastrous 59-year marriage.
Drawing on a lifetime of her family's home movies and interviews made over 12 years, filmmaker
Cindy Kleine mixes reportage, cinema verite and animation to uncover family secrets and tell a
story that could not be shown publicly as long as her father was alive. Phyllis and Harold delves
into the mystery of time passing, the nature of living a life, and the challenges of losing those
we love. But it is also a loving, funny expose on the sins of suburbia. Imagine Bergman's Scenes
from a Marriage seen through the prism of ILove Lucy.

HEARTS AND MINDS
"Peter Davis' provocative Oscar-winning Hearts and Mids, first released to the American public
in 1975, is that rare documentary whose truths and relevance have been underlined and amplified
by the passage of time. The title is derived from President Lyndon B. Johnson's noting, as he
escalated American involvement in the Vietnam War, that the ultimate victory will depend of 'the
hearts and minds of the people who actually live out there.' But Davis' triumph is that he is even
more concerned with the hearts and minds of Americans. And though its time-set is the 10-year
war that cost over 58,000 American and millions of Vietnamese lives and caused internal upheaval
and bitter aftermath, his work endures as a touchstone for our concept of Americanism, patriotism,
and personal and political principle."
-Judith Crist, New York Magazine
