Filmed over a decade, Brief Encounters follows internationally renowned photographer Gregory Crewdson's quest to create his unique, surreal, and incredibly elaborate portraits of suburban life.

Brief Encounters is an intimate portrait of one of the most heralded image-makers of our time.

In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park. They spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he alone had committed the crime, leading to their convictions being overturned. Set against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, this is the story of that horrific crime, the rush to judgment by the police, a media clamoring for sensational stories and an outraged public, and the five lives upended by this miscarriage of justice.

It's San Francisco in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial. Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial), and mind-expanding animation that echoes the startling originality of the poem itself. All three coalesce in a genre-bending hybrid that brilliantly captures a pivotal moment-the birth of a counterculture.

I 1959 blev en familie på fire fra Holcomb, Kansas, bestialsk og uden et egentligt motiv myrdet af to unge fyre, Perry Smith og Richard Hickock. Om denne virkelige begivenhed skrev forfatteren Truman Capote sin verdensberømte halvdokumentariske roman. Instruktøren Richard Brooks baserer sit manuskript på Capote’s bog og gør et godt stykke arbejde for at afdække både den meningsløse forbrydelse og den efterfølgende lige så meningsløse dødsdom.
