    Monday at 7, The DocYard presents SOME KIND OF HEA Monday at 7, The DocYard presents SOME KIND OF HEAVEN followed by Q+A with filmmakers Lance Oppenheim and Daniel Garber. Visit our website for more info (link in profile) . World Premiere at Sundance. Official selection of IFFR, closing night film of Doc Fortnight . “The Villages” is the world’s largest planned retirement community, snaring its perfectly coiffed residents with slick guarantees of manicured perfection in Central Florida. Some Kind of Heaven hilariously and devastatingly digs beneath the surface to find four residents who are struggling to locate solid ground, sometimes literally. Married couple Ann and Reggie wrestle with Reggie’s deteriorating grip on reality, Barbara seeks companionship, and Dennis looks for a way out of a peripatetic existence. Late stage capitalism has never looked so good, nor has its prospects for engendering fulfilled lives and connections appeared so paradoxical, despite what appears to be happy endings for all. . #TheDocYard #SomeKindOfHeaven #LanceOppenheim #TheVillages #documentary

    Kirk Douglas stars in PATHS OF GLORY, the stunning Kirk Douglas stars in PATHS OF GLORY, the stunning anti-war film from Stanley Kubrick. A landmark work by any standard, PATHS OF GLORY probably would not have been made without the involvement of Kirk Douglas as both producer and star. His reputation allowed the film to secure funding and his passion for the project lead him to support the bleak ending to the film – despite the concerns of the studio and even Kubrick himself. . PATHS OF GLORY screens Thursday at 5:00, 7:00 & 9:00 as part of our Kirk Douglas Memorial Tribute.
