Zuko Garagić

Zuko Garagić’s films — at once expressionist and archival — pursue what he calls “archives of the imagined”, questioning whether history is a vast repository teeming with answers or a bottomless pit that swallows all specificity. He is currently in development of two feature films and in post-production on his second hybrid short, which examines the unresolved deaths of Roma individuals in the Czech Republic in the late 1990s. Garagić graduated summa cum laude from NYU and earned his MFA from Columbia, where he also taught film as a teaching fellow and adjunct professor.

GoodFellas

Dir. Martin Scorsese
146 min

The ultimate crash and burn movie, Scorsese's exhilarating gangster film is infused with the excitement of fast cash, girls, guns and drugs. Yet this brazenly amoral movie also captures the brutality, betrayal, and spiritual void of the criminal world.

Trust

Dir. Hal Hartley
107 min

Trust is an earnestly deadpan farce; a terse, furious, funny picture about family, class, and consumerism written to within an inch of its life by indie auteur Hal Hartley.
