A six-year-old girl from the southern Delta searches for her long-lost mother after her father falls ill and her world spins out of balance in the film from director Benh Zeitlin that took home the Grand Jury Prize and Best Cinematography award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. A harsh but loving father, Wink swore that his beloved daughter Hushpuppy would be prepared for the day he was no longer able to look after her. Little did Wink realize that day would come sooner than anyone suspected, and when illness strikes him down, nature runs amuck. As the soaring temperatures melt ice caps and the sea levels swell, a race of prehistoric beasts named the aurochs emerge to reclaim the planet. Meanwhile, as the apocalypse unfolds, determined Hushpuppy bravely sets out on a mission to locate the mother she's never known. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Any time the United States votes to elect a new president, a bit of history hangs in the balance, but the stakes seemed higher for many people on November 4, 2008, in which citizens went to the polls to chose between Barack Obama or John McCain as their leader for the next four years. With the possibility that America would elect its first African-American president, filmmaker Jeff Deutchman set out to document the mood around the nation (and around the world) as voters cast their ballots and waited to see the results. Deutchman asked friends with cameras to interview Obama volunteers, folks at the polls, or just people on the street and capture their reactions as they witnessed the big day as it unfolded, and in 11/4/08 he presents a sampling of the material submitted to him: expatriates in Europe ponder how Obama's election could change America's image around the world, many voters ponder their small but vital role in the election, and election workers feel the suspense as the ballots are counted. 11/4/08 was an official selection at the 2010 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
