- Narrated by Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts, "Faulkner: The Past Is Never Dead" is about the Nobel-prize writer William Faulkner who has not only shaped the American literary canon but also America's conversations about race. Faulkner's "unflinching gaze" examines issues of race relations, equality, and civil rights-themes that speak powerfully to modern day. Born to a family of segregationists, Faulkner manages to confront his views about Black Americans and racial equality in his literary works. He includes more Black characters than his contemporary white writers and depicts them with a level of specificity unmatched at the time. However, how much was Faulkner able to escape his past? How should modern audiences approach a sometimes problematic subject? The film situates these questions in a rich telling of Faulkner story that combines historically accurate re-enactment scenes created using Faulkner's words, animated recreations of Faulkner's literary world and drawings, and conversations with Faulkner's family and the world's leading experts.

Together with his savvy graduate assistant Shad and a sassy undergraduate student, Dax joins forces with Government Operative Richard English to face off with whoever, or whatever, lurks in the dark woods of Taylor. But before the investigation can begin, Dax realizes he is being teamed with anthrozooological arch-rival, Dr. Doug-Clark Paulson, Russian big-game hunter Ernie Sokolov, and Dax's estranged wife, Claudia. The "team" is a powder-keg of emotions and criss-crossed interests as they set out to solve the mystery before the body count rises.

- PERSONHOOD tells a different reproductive rights story - one that ripples far beyond the right to choose and into the lives of every pregnant person in America. Like a moment from the chilling "Handmaid's Tale," Tammy Loertscher's fetus was given an attorney, while the courts denied Tammy her constitutional rights. In this timely documentary, we see her sent to jail, and then forced to challenge a Wisconsin law that eroded her privacy, her right to due process, and her body sovereignty. Through her story, PERSONHOOD reframes the abortion debate to encompass the growing system of laws that criminalize and police pregnant women. At the intersection of the erosion of women's rights, the war on drugs, and mass incarceration, Tammy's experience reveals the dangerous consequences of these little-known laws for American women and families.
