After a much-publicized departure from hosting NBC’s Tonight Show, Conan O’Brien hit the road with a music-and-comedy show to exercise his performing chops and exorcise a few demons. The “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour” was O’Brien’s answer to a contractual stipulation that banned his appearance on television, radio, and the Internet for six months following his last show. Rodman Flender’s resulting documentary, Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop, is an intimate portrait of an artist trained in improvisation, captured at the most improvisational time of his career.

The Interrupters tells the moving and surprising stories of three “Violence Interrupters” who try to protect their Chicago communities from the violence they once employed. From acclaimed director Steve James and bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz, the film is an unusually intimate journey into the stubborn persistence of violence in our cities. The Interrupters captures a period in Chicago when it became a national symbol for the violence in our cities. During that period, the city was besieged by high profile incidents, most notably the brutal beating of Derrion Albert, a high school student whose death was caught on videotape. The film’s main subjects work for an innovative organization, CeaseFire, which believes that the spread of violence mimics the spread of infectious diseases, and so the treatment should be similar: Go after the most infected, and stop the infection at its source.
