Back By Popular Demand/Feature Film/Special Retrospective
Forty years ago, in July 1969, the space race ended when Apollo 11 fulfilled President Kennedy's challenge of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth." No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. Breathtaking both in the scope of its vision and the exhilaration of the human emotions it captures, FOR ALL MANKIND is the story of the 24 men who traveled to the moon, told in their words, in their voices, using the images of their experiences. 6/22 screening followed by conversation with filmmaker and Astronaut Ken Mattingly, moderated by Washington Post columnist Joel Achenbach.
Feature Film/Theme: LGBT Interest Films/Theme: Sports Interest Films
POP STAR ON ICE is a funny, fast-paced and intimate film that follows the tumultuous career of ice skating superstar Johnny Weir, who hasn't quite achieved Olympic glory. Ice skating fans will rejoice and newcomers will be pleasantly entertained with Johnny’s antics on and off the ice.
