The Last Mogul -- For over sixty years as power broker at MCA and head of Universal Studios, Lew Wasserman rewrote the behind the scenes Hollywood rulebook. In this 'highly entertaining' (NY Post) documentary, director Barry Avrich succeeds in doing the impossible - piercing the shroud of silence surrounding a man who kept no notes, gave no interviews, and remains as feared in death as he was in life.

A "first rate documentary" (NY Post) and "a memoir of a lost kingdom" (Village Voice), HENRI LANGLOIS: PHANTOM OF THE CINEMATHEQUE celebrates the man who cultivated cinema's future by protecting its past. Langlois, in the words of grateful acolyte Jean-Luc Godard, "produced a way of seeing films" that inspired two generations of filmmakers and changed the medium itself.
