You've probably seen videos out there making fun of Instagram and the people who use it, but for this short film, Director Paul Tellefsen has created Instagram Is, a documentary about the Instagram Community. 

Forget about nomads and monks! It’s hip hop that’s making Mongolia move in the 21st century. Mongolian Bling jumps into the thriving music scene in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and follows stars as they rap nationwide with their bitches, cars, and jewels.  But beyond this bling lies a failed democracy, and a dying ancient culture that the elders mourn the loss of.  While many artists still aspire to the West, a handful are using hip hop to try and salvage their country’s flailing democracy, and bringing Mongolia’s rich musical history into their modern beats and rhymes.

This film is more than just the new Ryan Gosling flick. Sure, Gosling is a dreamy, toned, tattooed bad boy, but The Place Beyond The Pines, directed by Derek Cianfrance, is a crime drama that explores fatherhood and legacies passed on from fathers to their sons.

Elle Fanning shines in this emotional portrayal of life in London in 1962. Set against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Ginger and Rosa, by three-decade spanning acclaimed director Sally Potter, cleverly parallels the fear-filled historical threat of nuclear holocaust, alongside the sexual revolution and the troubled adolescence of its title characters, the shattering of their friendship, and more than troubling family dynamics.
