Movie of the month: Demain (Tomorrow) - documentary
Faced with a sense of
powerlessness in the face of growing evidence of a coming mass human extinction, Melanie Laurent (Inglorious Bastards) and activist Cyril
Dion travel to ten countries where grassroots pioneers are reinventing their economies and democracies. From Detroit, where urban farms
have transformed a dying city, to Copenhagen, where nearly 70% of the energy is renewable, to Kuttambakkan in India, where participative
democracy allows different castes to work together, and to other communities around the world.

Movie of the month: La Môme
A swirling, impressionistic portrait of one of France's immortal icons, showing her rise from the brothels of Paris to the dazzling
limelight of New York's most famous concert halls. Although her charisma and extraordinary voice opened many doors for her, Piaf also faced
great personal loss and drug addiction, all of which she funneled into her vocalizations to dazzle audiences in the process. Starring
