If Criterion24/7 hasn’t completely colonized your attention every time you open the Channel––this is to say: if you’re stronger than me––their May lineup may be of interest. First and foremost I’m happy to see a Michael Roemer triple-feature: his superlative Nothing But a Man, arriving in a Criterion Edition, and the recently rediscovered The Plot Against Harry and Vengeance is Mine, three distinct features that suggest a long-lost voice of American movies.

Even films such as this year’s Project: Hatched grantee title “Pay or Die,” which was acquired by MTV Documentary Films, are in need of funding for an impact campaign.
Each of the 10 selected film will receive $30,000, which will go towards completion funding and impact campaigns. This is the first year that the grant’s criteria were expanded to include international projects. Additionally, this...
