With cameras running, 19-year-old Jared Adam attempts the impossible: to maintain a romantic relationship with three separate women without any of them finding out about the other two. Filmmakers Steven Napolitan and Michael Picarella get plenty of mileage out of their set-up, some of it dramatic and most of it comedic. Steven Napolitan/Michael Picarella---USA---2004---94 mins.

Although French law radically restricts cameras from entering the courtroom, documentarian Raymond Depardon was granted special permission to film for three months in the 10th District Courthouse of Paris. The resulting work is a powerful and unique glimpse inside the inner-workings of the French legal system, as well as a candid inquiry into universal issues of guilt, innocence, and punishment. "Spellbinding [...] revealing, compassionate and judicious, Depardon's is one of the best films from France--or any nation--this year" Raymond Depardon---France---2004---107 mins.

Filmmaker Doug Block thought he knew his parents Mike and Mina well enough, but when his mother died unexpectedly and his father hastily married his secretary, Doug was compelled to go back to 51 Birch Street. It's a haunting, personal documentary in the vein of Tarnation, only with more ordinary subjects, a less jittery style, and it amounts to a nuanced meditation on the mystery underlying a very common institution: marriage. "One of the ten best films of the year...a work of art" (A.O. Scott, New York Doug Block---USA/Germany---2005---88 mins.
