SYNOPSIS
Presented in cooperation with the National Archives and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, this collection features four documentaries directed by John Huston (The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen) as part of his service as an officer in the Army Signal Corps. The documentaries are not simple propaganda, but reflect Huston’s own changing attitudes toward war. Winning Your Wings (18:19 min) is a recruitment film for the U.S. Army Air Forces, hosted by Jimmy Stewart. Report from the Aleutians (44:48 min) reveals the tedium of being stationed at a remote Army post in the islands of Alaska. With San Pietro (32:05 min), however, the tone of Huston’s documentaries begin to take a dark turn, documenting an Italian military battle that cost an estimated 1,100 American lives, revealing, in unflinching detail, the retrieval and burial of casualties. The Army chose not to publicly screen the film. The final installment, the emotionally devastating Let There Be Light (57:50 min) narrated by Walter Huston (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre), is considered to be one of the most important wartime documentaries ever made, depicting the treatment of “psychoneurotics” (now known as post-traumatic stress disorder), through hypnosis, drugs, and psychotherapy.

SYNOPSIS
The Undesirable, a silent film treasure thought to be lost forever, was recently discovered in the basement of the Hungarian House cultural center in New York and returned to Hungary for restoration. An eight-month restoration and digitization process was completed by the Hungarian Filmlab, with support from the Hungarian National Digital Archive and Film Institute and the Hungarian National Film Fun, and funded by the Hungarian National Film Foundation. Noted Hollywood producer Andrew Vajna (Terminator, Rambo, Nixon, Angel Heart) played a major role in overseeing the restoration process. The Undesirable features a newly commissioned score by Attila Pacsay (the renowned composer of cinematic pieces including the Academy Award nominated short The Maestro) performed by the Pannonia Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Peter Illenyi.
Betty (Lili Berky, Duel For Nothing), a young woman living in the country, is told by her dying father that he is really her uncle and raised her as his own when her mother was sent to prison for killing her husband. Alone and not knowing her mother’s fate, Betty travels to the city in search of work. There she finds employment as a maid in the house of a wealthy couple and their dashing son, Nick (Victor Varconi, For Whom The Bell Tolls), with whom she falls in love. When Betty is fired from her position after being unjustly accused of theft and escorted from the village, an ironic twist of fate propels the story forward with the sudden appearance of her mother Sarah (Mari Jászai, Bánk Bán) – presumed dead but recently released from prison – on a quest of her own to find her daughter.

SYNOPSIS
BRAND NEW, NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN DIRECTOR’S CUT!
What if your DNA could forecast your future? Would you want to know? Bio-tech company Life Tracker Limited has announced it has the capability to not only analyze a person’s DNA, but by doing so, predict their future.
This revelation piques the interest of amateur documentary filmmaker Dillon Smith (Barry Finnegan, Forever Midnight, Blackout), who sees this discovery as the ideal subject for his next film. Getting the “man on the street” perspective, along with feedback from his friend Scott (Matt Dallas, Ghost of Goodnight Lane, TV’s Kyle XY) and Scott’s girlfriend Bell (Rebecca Marshall, Saw 3D:The Final Chapter), he’ll be able to fully flesh out the subject matter.
But how much information is too much information? And how much information are Life Tracker Limited and the U.S. government willing to release to people about their futures? This will prove to be the dramatic crux of Life Tracker, as it explores that very question and more, packaging a philosophical debate within an exciting Sci-Fi thriller.
Life Tracker is written and directed by Joe McClean (How To Make A David Lynch Film).
