Coming to Fandor as the perfect, sun-soaked tonic to combat the falling temperatures outside, Atlantide is a beautifully rendered document of a specific sub-culture - the cult of the barchino (motorboat). 

A vibrant document of people and place, the picturesque lagoons of Venice come to life in this alluring sensorial hybrid film that must be experienced.

Bad Dads

Set in an alternate reality where the human heart is merely an object, and suppressing emotion is a means of self-care, Kim Albright's 2023 SXSW Selection is emotionally poignant, narratively innovative, and ultimately timely.

You Weren't There- A History Of Chicago Punk 1977-1984 is a documentary that looks back on the impact that the Punk movement had on the Windy City. Though overlooked in the annals of Rock history (compared to media-centric Los Angeles, New York, and London), Chicago served as an important early supporter of this burgeoning and controversial scene.From what is now considered to be the first Punk dance club in America (La Mere Vipere), to proto-hardcore clubs (Oz, O'Banions), and All Ages DIY scene (Centro-Am Hall), Chicagoans made sure that there were outlets for the genre that was often blacklisted by the mainstream local live music scene. To make it happen, they had to endure harassment from the Police, City Hall, Neo-Nazis, and even the audience, as well as making uneasy alliances with the ever-present Chicago criminal underworld. It was a scene that could be at times violent and unsavory but always tempered with large doses of humor,art, and intelligence.You Weren't There talks to the DJ's, musicians, promoters, artists, and fans who were pivotal in creating the Chicago Punk scene. The film also showcases classic archival footage of such great Chicago bands as Naked Raygun, the Effigies, Strike Under, Big Black, Articles Of Faith as well as lesser known greats Silver Abuse, the Mentally Ill, the Subverts,Negative Element, and many more.
