June 23rd: Mistaken for Strangers
- “A truly hilarious, unusual, and moving film about two brothers, Matt and Tom Berninger. Matt, the lead singer of the critically acclaimed rock band The National, finally finds himself flush with success. His younger brother, Tom, is a loveable slacker – a filmmaker and metal-head still living with his parents in Cincinnati. On the eve of The National's biggest tour to date, Matt invites Tom to work for the band as a roadie, unaware of Tom's plan to film the entire adventure.”

August 3rd: Blue Velvet
- “Blue Velvet is screenwriter and maverick director David Lynch's artistically bizarre cult film. It is an original look at sex, violence, crime and power under the peaceful exterior of small-town Americana in the mid-80s.”

August 17th: The Earth Will Swallow You
- With live music from 54 Bicycles (a Widespread Panic cover band)
- “The film follows Widespread Panic on tour during the summer of 2000. We shot principal photography over the summer and fall of 2000, and did some pick-ups in 2001. We edited at Good Edit in New York City in the spring and summer of 2001 with the excellent Davey Frankel. The film was released on DVD by Image Entertainment in 2002.”
