The latest film from acclaimed director Alex Ross Perry is an unconventional documentary about a highly unconventional band — the ‘90s American alternative group Pavement — that incorporates elements of a stage musical, rock biopic and gallery exhibition, as well as archival footage and contemporary observational footage, to create a film as irreducible, uncharacterizable, and entertaining as the band and its music.

An outlier, even in her broad and varied body of work, Mai Zetterling’s only children’s film was inspired by Goethe's theory of color. During a family holiday, their two young daughters fantasize about being adults representing different colors. The result is a visually lush, surrealist fever dream more akin to the experimental and psychedelic cinema of the era than to traditional family fare.
