Damned if I didn't grin and giggle at Family Camp from the very start, and damned if I didn't get misty-eyed on a couple of occasions – though given the film's leanings, I should probably be saying “darned." I'll try to remember that if, or more hopefully when, we get a sequel.

Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and recipient of an “A” rating from Entertainment Weekly, the acclaimed Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry enjoys a May 12 screening at Davenport's Figge Art Museum as part of the venue's Film at the Figge series, this fascinating study of the noted Chinese artist and activist also cited by the National Board of Review as one of its year's five best feature documentaries.

The Northman is a period action drama with supernatural leanings that's five times bloodier than Braveheart, nearly as nutty as The Green Knight, and just as divisive as you'd expect from the filmmaker whose two previous features were the talking-goat freakout The Witch and the two-man fever dream The Lighthouse.

Winner of the Best Documentary citation at the Raw Science Film Festival and the Grand Jury Award at the Greenport Film Festival, the informative, entertaining documentary Microplastic Madness serves as the final presentation in River Action's 2022 Environmental Film Series, the Figge Art Museum's April 24 offering lauded by Film Threat as a work that “bleeds authenticity” and “demonstrates the level of passion and activism that can lead to actual change from younger generations.”
