This Week January 6-11
Tue Jan 06	10:00 PM	SWIMMERS
	The Chesapeake Bay, where generations of “watermen” made their living harvesting blue crabs, oysters and striped bass, is the setting for this award-winning coming-of-age family drama from Doug Sadler (RIDERS). WATCH VIDEO

Wed Jan 07	9:00 PM	SPECTACLE: ELVIS COSTELLO WITH THE POLICE
	Fresh off the concert trail together, Elvis and The Police team up for an action-packed hour that includes individual interviews with Sting, Andy and Stewart, as well as a raucous group session. It all provides a rare glimpse into the combustible chemistry that made The Police the biggest band in the world in the 1980s. In addition to the illuminating talk, there’s plenty of amazing music: Sting illustrates the original incarnation of “Roxanne”, the song which put The Police on the map; Sting and Elvis harmonize together on an Elvis gem; Andy and Elvis team up for a bit of jazz; and, for the finale, Elvis and his band, The Imposters, join forces with The Police for an unprecedented “mash-up” of a Costello classic and a Police essential, as well as a surprising cover of a time-tested hard rock anthem.

Thu Jan 08	10:00 PM	GOOD MORNING HEARTACHE
	When newly married Giovanni (Marco Foschi) and Lucia (Alba Rohrwacher) decide to become the subjects of a documentary about working temp jobs in the Italian film business while raising a toddler, they don’t realize how much their lives will change. Soon documentarians Giorgio (Stefano Fresi) and Eros (Alessandro Averone) are recording a marital breakup in intimate detail.

Fri Jan 09	10:00 PM	FRIENDS WITH MONEY
	With her third feature, filmmaker Nicole Holofcener (WALKING AND TALKING; LOVELY AND AMAZING) presents a bittersweet, subversive comedy about four contemporary women friends and how their lives are defined by jealously, marriage, pity and materialism. WATCH VIDEO

Sat Jan 10	10:00 PM	CRAZY LOVE
	From the late ’50s through the ’70s, New York tabloids fed on the lurid and bizarre tale of lawyer/stalker Burt Pugash and his obsession with Linda Riss, a young working-class woman whose life was forever changed by a shocking act of violence. Noted publicist and documentarian Dan Klores tells this morbidly fascinating story with its many twists and surprises. WATCH VIDEO

Sun Jan 11	10:00 PM	ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL
	The creators of GHOST WORLD, cartoonist/screenwriter Daniel Clowes and filmmaker Terry Zwigoff (CRUMB), return with a dark and subversive portrait of art school as a hotbed of ego, pretension, insecurity and phoniness. WATCH VIDEO
