From acclaimed director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro), ORWELL: 2+2=5 is the definitive feature-length documentary on visionary author George Orwell. ”Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past...," wrote Orwell in his novel, 1984. Today, the "newspeak" of authoritarian rule is alive and well and in unexpected places, from the rise of AI Chatbot to the Russian propaganda machine, from the marketing webs of commercial metaverses to the political banning of books in the Southern United States. Peck's ORWELL uses George Orwell's life, work and legacy as a maverick iconoclastic writer to jam the signals of the algorithms gone rogue which, in the name of personal freedom, threaten to close our minds to a greater possibility. Brilliant, exhilarating and the boldest documentary anyone could make right now.

In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney sets out on his first heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks. Celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt directs an unforgettable Josh O'Connor in THE MASTERMIND, her latest Cannes triumph. A brilliant look at the folly of man, rich in textured detail, THE MASTERMIND cleverly and playfully dismantles the heist formula, subverting the high-stakes thrills with a deeply human portrait.
