Deep Water -- The remarkable, true story of the first solo, non-stop, round-the-world boat race and the psychological toll it took on its competitors.

Friendly Persuasion -- A devout Southern Indiana Quaker family attempts to resist the call to arms during the Civil War, but their pacifism is sorely tested by the events that engulf them in this classic film directed by William Wyler.

Winner of the Best Documentary award at Rome Film Festival and an audience favorite at the 2007 Telluride Film Festival, Deep Water is the remarkable, true story of the first solo, non-stop, round-the-world boat race, and the psychological toll it took on its competitors. In 1968 the Sunday Times of London sponsored the much-ballyhooed event which attracted a field of nine, including amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst. Battling treacherous seas and his own demons, Crowhurst almost immediately comes apart as he faces the isolation of nine months on the high seas. Part adventure yarn and part metaphysical mystery, this documentary from IFC Films is an unforgettable journey into one man’s heart of darkness.

Academy Award-winner Gene Kelly ("Singin' in the Rain," "An American in Paris"), Oscar-nominee Dan Dailey ("The Pride of St. Louis"), and 5-time Tony-winner dancer/choreographer Michael Kidd ("Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," "Hello Dolly!") star as three WWII comrades who meet again during a ten-year reunion only to discover they have nothing in common. Co-starring the exquisite Cyd Charisse ("Singin' in the Rain"). A musical delight directed by Kelly and Stanley Donen ("Singin' in the Rain," Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"), it received Oscar-nominations for Best Screenplay and Score.
