Full Frame Road Show 2026: Come See Me in the Good Light

Rated TV-MA | 104 minutes | 2025 | DocumentaryThis remarkable love story follows two poets, Megan Falley and Andrea Gibson, as they embrace their life together while coming to terms with an incurable cancer diagnosis. In interviews they describe how they met, what poetry and performing mean to them, and how living with illness has altered their day-to-day lives. We spend time with the lovers at home with their dogs, and are present for intimate exchanges as they experience setbacks and successes. Andrea works toward performing a live show, and Meg authors a new book, even as treatments threaten to silence their voices. Director Ryan White beautifully laces audio of their words throughout the film, and light, too, becomes a central character—the soft darkness of their bedroom; the afternoon sun as it spills across the living room floor. Come See Me in the Good Light is a luminous study in holding onto gratitude and humor without hiding from the fear of grief.In partnership with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.   For TICKET information, including Will Call & Mobile tickets, please click here.

Full Frame Road Show 2026: Mr. Nobody Against Putin

Not Rated | 90 minutes | 2025 | DocumentaryKarabash, with a population of about 10,000 people, is situated in Russia’s Ural Mountains and is one of the unhealthiest places to live on Earth—UNESCO once reported it the “most polluted town in the world.” Yet Pavel “Pasha” Talankin proudly calls it home, happily working as the event coordinator and videographer at the same primary school that he attended as a child, and where his mom remains the librarian. Each day, Pasha captures lively school events, building rapport with students. Everything rapidly changes in February 2022, when Russia invades Ukraine. The Kremlin issues a new federal “patriotic education” policy, demanding curriculum shifts that focus on supporting the war and requiring students to sing nationalist songs and poems while performing schoolwide drills. Pasha is directed to video his school’s efforts as proof of its compliance. As the situation becomes increasingly dire, and the propaganda more prolific, Pasha continues to document everything he can, until it becomes too dangerous to continue.

Full Frame Road Show 2026: Seeds

Not Rated | 123 minutes | 2025 | DocumentaryIn lush black-and-white imagery, Seeds documents Black farmers in the American South. The land where they work and live has been in their families for generations–there is a deep attachment to place and purpose, and each harvest is an act of support for the generation to come. The film’s visual tapestry is woven together through vivid, everyday moments and connections: a child bounces on a bed; a grandfather pries back floorboards to stabilize the foundation below; a small granddaughter embraces her older relative in the back seat of a car. The care for the land, the structures upon it, and one another are evident in every frame. Director Brittany Shyne takes her time observing and artfully framing these snapshots of life. An intricate sound design amplifies the intersection of earth, people, and machine, as blades whir and engines hum alongside quieter moments, as if to underscore both the hardship and the beauty of this way of life.

Full Frame Roadshow: Daughters

2024107 minutes DocumentaryRated PG13English, Not Subtitled This free screening is presented in partnership with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. Four young girls are preparing for a Daddy Daughter Dance with their fathers, all of whom are incarcerated in Washington, D.C. For Aubrey, Santana, Raziah, and Ja’Ana, this may be the last time they will be able to hug their fathers for the foreseeable future. Since 2014, in-person visits have been slowly replaced by video calls that benefit for-profit corporations but prevent the possibility of human touch. Meanwhile, their dads are taking part in a twelve-week Date with Dad program to learn how to strengthen their bonds with their daughters and gain skills to navigate the challenges of family and fatherhood upon their eventual release. A meaningful and affecting portrait of the systemic impacts of carceral systems, Natalie Rae and Angela Patton’s film is the result of an eight-year collaboration. By turn joyful and devastating, Rae and Patton show the girls and their fathers in all of their beautiful complexity, upending stereotypes around incarceration and revealing the redemptive power of family bonds.

Full Frame Roadshow: Union

2024 104 minutes  Documentary Not Rated  English, Not Subtitled   This free screening is presented in partnership with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. Union is a compelling story of the quintessential battle between a modern-day David and the world’s most formidable Goliath. In this instance, David is Chris Smalls, a warehouse employee who is fired from his job at Amazon’s JFK8 facility on Staten Island at the height of the pandemic when he protests the lack of adequate PPE. To create better working conditions for Amazon warehouse employees, Chris launches the Amazon Labor Union (ALU). However, to be fully recognized as a union, Chris and his coterie must obtain signatures of at least one-third of the warehouse workers—a feat that is more difficult than it seems given the company’s high turnover rate. Through a vérité style, the filmmakers document the three-year journey, and we experience the lows: power struggles, in-fighting, setbacks, and Amazon’s constant anti-union machinations. Despite all of this, the workers never lose hope, and we witness their determination and how effective collective action can be.

Full Frame Roadshow: Hollywoodgate

2023 91 minutes  Documentary, History / War Not Rated  Dari, English, Pashto, Subtitled in English   This free screening is presented in partnership with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. When the United States withdrew from its twenty-year “forever war” in Afghanistan, the Taliban retook control of the ravaged country and immediately found an American base loaded with weaponry—a portion of the over $7 billion in U.S. armaments still in the country. Unprecedented and audacious, director Ibrahim Nash’at’s Hollywoodgate spends a year inside Afghanistan following the Taliban as they take possession of the cache America left behind—and transform from a fundamentalist militia into a heavily armed military regime.
