Sonata Mulattica explores the fleeting intersection between two prodigious spirits at the turn of the 19th century: Ludwig van Beethoven and George Bridgetower. 

 

Life and Music in the Times of George Frederick Bristow is a journey through the 1800s, a film made possible with the support of the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation, and friends of the Documentary Film Fund

AVAILABLE IN
+ 45,000 LIBRARIES

Our documentaries are available in public and academic libraries through 
Kanopy and Alexander Street. We value our films as stewards of knowledge—stories that deserve context, clarity,
and visibility. 

Traditional Library

From the earliest days of cinema, filmmakers have grappled with the question: how do we secure a budget, and what constitutes success? We ask a different question. What if investors became donors, and financial gain were replaced by the creation of lasting tools for learning — films that help audiences, students, and scholars deepen their understanding of the world?​ The answer is clear: we make films that illuminate — unapologetically built not for profit, but for understanding.
