Expected to attend: The Maysles family (Gillian Walker, Rebekah Maysles, Sarah Maysles, Philip Maysles), Steve Buscemi, Kate and Andy Spade, Melvin Van Peebles, Jerry Torre, Andrew Jarecki and directors Lynn True, Ben Wu, Nelson Walker and David Usui.
"The Empire Builder is America’s busiest long-distance train route, running from Chicago to Seattle. Throughout these corridors sit runaways, adventurers, and loners – myriad passengers waiting to see what their journey holds. A touching and honest observation, co-directed by the iconic documentarian Albert Maysles, In Transit breathes life into the long commute, and contemplates the unknowns that lie at our final destination."

Havana Motor Club

Expected to attend: Bent-Jorgen Perlmutt.
"Reforms have offered opportunity in Cuba but the children of the Revolution are unsure of the best route forward. For a half-dozen drag racers, this means last-minute changes to their beloved American muscle cars, as they prepare for the first sanctioned race in Cuba since 1960. Punctuated by a lively Cuban soundtrack, Havana Motor Club offers a fascinating glimpse at the resilience and ingenuity of the competitive spirit."
Times and tickets for Havana Motor Club available here.
The Emperor’s New Clothes

Expected to attend: Michael Winterbottom and Russell Brand.
"Michael Winterbottom and comedian/provocateur Russell Brand join forces in this polemical expose about inequality and the financial crisis. From London to New York the film combines documentary style, archive footage and comedy to explore how the crisis has gravely affected the 99% and only benefited the 1%."

Expected to attend: Lisa Immordino Vreeland.
"Bouncing between Europe and the US as often as she would between lovers, Peggy Guggenheim’s life story was as swirling as the design of her uncle’s museum, and reads more like fiction than any reality imaginable. Art Addict is a picture into Guggenheim’s world: abstract, colorful, and as salacious as the artwork she revered."

Monty Python: The Meaning of Live

"While perhaps best known for its eminently quotable films, Monty Python has performed its signature, surreal humor in live shows since the group’s earliest days. Dive into the history of Monty Python’s on stage and the genesis of some of its most well-known pieces as they prepare for their last-ever live shows at The O2, London in July 2014. Monty Python - the Meaning of Live is a hilarious and illuminating survey of what is takes to bring Monty Python to the stage."
Tickets for the event are available here.
