Sure, these sons of a music legend and their three band-mates draw on ’60s-era passion as well as its musical icons, but these talented lads have an electric, rockin’ sound and message that is completely their own. From jazz to hard rock – with Hendrix licks and Afro-Cuban beats and a hint of their dad's folk-country style thrown in – Lukas Nelson & The Promise of the Real is a melting pot of sound. Rock, yes. Roll, yes. Plus, blues, psychedelia and a little country too. It’s groovy in a new millennium sort of way.

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for U.S. Documentary

In this film, Timoner offers a fascinating ten-year chronicle of internet pioneer Josh Harris as he launched an art experiment involving more than 100 artists living in a New York City bunker under 24-hour surveillance. Timoner couples Harris’s footage from his exhibitions with rousing vérité of her own for a sexy, yet cautionary tale where we all become Big Brother.

Join director Ondi Timoner for a discussion after the film and come early to meet Festival staffers and get the inside scoop on how to make the most of your 2010 Festival experience.
