Peter and Bobby Farrelly produced this moving documentary about Luis Tiant, one of the most celebrated Major League baseball players and the son of Lefty Tiant Sr., the legendary Cuban athlete. Tiant left Cuba at the age of 20 for a trip he thought would last a month--and never came back. Instead, he went on to win the hearts of legions of Americans fans with his All-Star, record-setting athletic prowess, a stunning career with the Red Sox, and a unique twist to pitching that was imitated on ball fields all over New England. Now, director Jonathan Hock documents Tiant's return to Havana for the first time in nearly half a century, as he reconnects with aging relatives and former teammates from his distant past. At the age of 67, Tiant thoughtfully and openly confronts Cuba's faded glory as well as his career, legend, and mortality. Is Cuba still home? .

Jonathan Hock is an eight-time Emmy Award-winning director, writer, and editor. His previous features include the basketball documentary Through the Fire, the wrestling documentary The Streak, and the IMAX film Michael Jordan to the Max. Hock was born in New York City, where he currently lives.

The ornery maid of a wealthy Chilean household dispatches any threat of competition with passive-aggressive ingenuity in this hilarious, perceptive, and acclaimed new film by talented young filmmaker Sebastián Silva. Played by the exceptional Catalina Saavedra, the grumpy and unfriendly Raquel has been working as the Valdés's maid for 23 years; she's set in her ways and sees herself as an essential part of the family. When Raquel begins to develop debilitating migraine headaches, her boss tries to hire a second maid. But Raquel wages war against each threatening newcomer with a homespun, uproarious Home Alone-like bag of tricks that will leave the family's hedges, their cat, and even their painstakingly built miniature model ship as casualties. One day, her boss brings home Lucy, a cheerful, earthy woman from the countryside who retaliates against Raquel's tricks with startling affection and a bawdy, surprising sense of humor that Raquel never counted on. Has Raquel finally met her match?

In the gripping directorial debut of screenwriter Oren Moverman (I'm Not There, Married Life), a young soldier named Will (Ben Foster) returns from Iraq to his toughest assignment yet: joining a macho older soldier named Tony (Woody Harrelson) in notifying families when their loved ones die in the line of fire. Having escaped death abroad by a hair's breadth, Will now finds himself marching stone-eyed across suburban lawns with heartbreaking, life-ruining news. Although Will and Tony have very different personalities and a generation gap lies between them, their devastating work brings them closer together, and the two lonely men hesitantly begin to form a friendship. When Will, whose girlfriend has moved on during his long absence, is drawn to a young widow (Samantha Morton) and her young son after her husband dies in Iraq, he sets off an ethical dilemma that plays out in touching and surprising ways.

Oren Moverman cowrote Todd Haynes's Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There and collaborated with Ira Sachs on the movies Married Life and The Goodbye People. He also wrote the forthcoming films Interrupted, William Burroughs' Queer, Face, and Jesus' Son. Moverman was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, and currently lives in New York City.

Kids of all ages will flip for Marshall Curry's rousing documentary about three drivers competing in the World Karting Association's National Pavement Series. Clocking speeds up to 70 mph, Annabeth Barnes (age 12), Brandon Warren (age 13), and Joshua Hobson (age 12) chase the national championship, aspiring to careers as death-defying NASCAR racers. Annabeth, the talented daughter of a retired driver, struggles to balance a love for racing with a desire for a "normal" girlhood. Josh, who started racing when he was 5, studies the interview styles of NASCAR drivers and emulates their poise and professionalism. Meanwhile, Brandon's hot temper often leads him into trouble, and racing for him is as much of an escape from daily life as a passion. The three kids head through the yearlong championship series, navigating family dysfunction, economic hardships, and young romance along the road between childhood and young adulthood.

The Nantucket Film Festival is proud to partner with Facing History and Ourselves to bring the festival a special screening of The Reckoning and a panel discussion featuring the filmmaker Pamela Yates and the documentary's subject, Christine Chung, moderated by Marc Skvirsky, chief program officer for Facing History and Ourselves.

More than 120 countries united to form the International Criminal Court (ICC), the first permanent court created to prosecute cases of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. Pamela Yates's The Reckoning, a documentary that keeps you on the edge of your seat, follows dynamic ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo and his team for three years and across four continents as they issue arrest warrants for Lord's Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, put Congolese warlords on trial, shake up the Colombian justice system, and charge Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur. Building cases against genocidal criminals presents huge challenges, and the prosecutor has a mandate but no police force. At every turn, he must pressure the international community to muster political will for the cause. As this tiny court in The Hague struggles to forge a new paradigm for justice, innocent victims suffer and wait. Will the prosecutor succeed, and will justice prevail?

Facing History and Ourselves is dedicated to fostering thoughtful dialogue about issues of tolerance and civic responsibility. Their publications, seminars, and community events link historical events such as the Holocaust and the civil rights movement to the everyday issues in our own lives, providing opportunities for people of all ages to recognize the importance of civic participation and learn from the courage and resilience of others.

An homage to every buddy picture since Bob Hope and Bing Crosby hit the road, cult favorite Safe Men combines antic farce with witty wordplay and a reverence for the pop culture of the '70s and '80s. Sam (Sam Rockwell) and Eddie (Steve Zahn) are two untalented lounge singers trying to make it on the cocktail circuit-or whatever other venue will have them-when they are mistaken for Frank (Mark Ruffalo) and Mitchell (Josh Pais), the best safecrackers in the wild town of Providence, Rhode Island. The men are drawn into the less-than-nefarious underworld of the city's Jewish mafia, which consists of two men: Big Fat Bernie Gayle (Michael Lerner) and his rival, Good Stuff Leo (Harvey Fierstein). Sam and Eddie are forced to perform a series of heists for which they are woefully unprepared; Sam finds himself falling for Leo's daughter, Hannah (Christina Kirk); and Eddie gives in to his long-stifled larcenous instincts.

John Hamburg, the writer and director of Along Came Polly and I Love You, Man, broke onto the comedy scene with his first feature, Safe Men, an Official Selection of NFF 1998. He co-wrote the acclaimed comedies Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, and Zoolander. Hamburg was born in New York City, where he currently lives.

In a small Maine airport, strength and inspiration are given and received in equal measure as a group of senior citizens use hugs and handshakes to play a critical role in the Iraq War. Since 2003, nearly 1 million soldiers and marines from across the country have been greeted by seniors like Bill Knight, Jerry Mundy, and Joan Gaudet, who share their moving personal stories with Joan's son, filmmaker Aron Gaudet. Using a system of synchronized watches and cell phone calls, the seniors rise at all hours of the night and day to meet the soldiers' flights. They each confront questions of their own mortality on a daily basis, making them uniquely able to relate to the departing and arriving soldiers' struggles with the prospects of death, illness, and loneliness. This film brings to the fore questions about war and aging, two of the most important challenges that modern America faces, and considers them anew.

Jack Black and Michael Cera star as two inept hunter-gatherers in this wild new film from legendary writer/director Harold Ramis (Ghostbusters, Caddyshack) and producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin). When they eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the pair are exiled from their Stone Age tribe and thrust into a world they never knew existed. They meet Cain and Abel (David Cross and Paul Rudd) and then Abraham and Isaac (Hank Azaria and Christopher Mintz-Plasse); their odyssey even brings them to the city of Sodom, where paganism reigns under the direction of a dodgy high priest (Oliver Platt). Over the course of their journey through Genesis, the heroes debate free will and divine providence, and learn the importance of personal responsibility. It's Cecil B. DeMille meets Frank Capra, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope in The Road to Sodom , Abbot and Costello in The Holy of Holies , or Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Jewish: silly, thoughtful, and very funny.

Harold Ramis is a celebrated actor, writer, and director of comedy films. He wrote and directed the legendary movies Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, and Analyze This; wrote or cowrote National Lampoon's Animal House, Meatballs, Ghostbusters, and Stripes; and costarred in the latter two films, among many works.
