The remarkable Sherman Brothers, the two brilliant but often feuding siblings behind many Disney scores from the '60s and '70s, including Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book and It's a Small World, are profiled by their sons, cousins Gregory and Jeff Sherman, in this intriguing look at creativity, genius and family ties. The world premiere screening will be followed by a special reception for film and party ticket holders with the filmmakers in the reception space of the Disney Family Museum (which will open this coming fall).

An intense mixture of theater, punk show, political rally and film screening, this live performance features death-folk band Los Duggans backing filmmaker Travis Wilkerson's radical agitation on American aerial bombing. Wilkerson mans the Kaptivator, a tiny box filled with images and video intended for VJ use in dance clubs, stocking it with visual evidence of the history of worldwide conflict and destruction, as
Los Duggans let go an equally blistering aural barrage.
