WORLD PREMIERE After decades in prison, Todd Scott, Chad Campbell, and Carlos Rebollo navigate the complex bureaucracy of the parole system and deal with its psychological toll. All three men, incarcerated as teens, wrestle with the weight of their crimes, questioning how they can appropriately express their deep remorse to a parole board that will determine whether they are released. Featuring access to intimate parole interviews, these difficult stories take us into an under-examined aspect of the prison system, begging the question: Is true rehabilitation possible? - Brandon Harrison
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director and producer Ricki Stern, director and producer Jesse Sweet, film subject Sabrina Scott, film subject Rhiya Trivedi, film subject Rochelle Swartz, and film subject Carlos Rebollo.
All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
WORLD PREMIERE With his witty wordplay and wacky props, Leo Gallagher became one of the biggest comedy acts of the 1980s. The comedian’s most famous bit: smashing a watermelon with a giant mallet to the messy delight of audiences. His signature act was a gift and a curse, shooting him to superstardom while breeding both dismissive detractors and imitators, including his own brother. As tastes change, the aging Gallagher seeks the respect he deserves as an innovator in the art of stand-up comedy. – Brandon Harrison
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Josh Forbes, producer Jeremy Coon, and producer and editor Barry Poltermann.
