Beware of Mr. Baker
Directed by Jay Bulger

This year s Grand Jury Documentary Feature Winner from 2012 tells the story of Ginger Baker, the legendary drummer from the 1960s rock and roll band, Cream. Known to be moody, irate, and fielding a heroin addiction, Baker left an impression amongst his friends and family (Eric Clapton, Johnny Rotten, who contribute to the doc) to elicit this film s title.
Gimme the Loot
Directed by Adam Leon
Watch on Netflix
Two rivalling teams of graffiti writers take each other on in this Narrative Feature Grand Jury Winner from 2012. Bronx teenagers Malcolm and Sofia spend their summer chasing down the funding they need to tag a local NYC landmark and become the best writers in the city. Filmmaker Adam Leon takes us uptown for a New York City experience that is common, but typically elided in independent movies lately.
Brooklyn Castle
Directed by Katie Dellamaggiore
Watch on Netflix
From the 2012 festival, the Documentary Spotlight winner also takes audiences to an under represented borough. The I.S. 318 school in Brooklyn is home to the highest ranked junior high chess team, where 65% of the student population lives under the federal poverty level. Brooklyn Caste profiles these prodigious kids with big dreams and sharp minds as they defy all odds to master the game.
Citadel
Directed by Ciar n Foy
Watch on Netflix
SXSW Midnighters series presents a selection of horror films, and this winner from 2012 is as scary as they come. When Tommy s new wife is killed and leaves him to raise their newborn on his own, he becomes so traumatized that he rarely leaves his home and lives under the constant fear of his wife s killers return. His only solution is centered around the structure known as the Citadel.
We Always Lie to Strangers
Directed by AJ Schnack
Watch on Netflix
Branson, Missouri is a small town that would seem inordinary at first. But the heartwarming documentary that won the Special Jury Recognition for Directing in 2013 tells a different story of the town that preserves family values in the American tradition. With frequent live music shows that encourage those values - no cursing, nudity, gambling, but plenty of Jesus - this remote town in the midwest has become a destination for anyone looking for good, clean fun.
