In what can only be described as an act of God, an obscure documentary ode to Christian activist/theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer drew 10,000 faithful over the course of two months last summer. This miracle booking not only helped U Film to resurrect itself commercially, but to find its religion--in nonfiction. Indeed, the Bell has nearly become the site of a year-round documentary film festival, having played host to some of the most genuine art cinema in years, including the Brooklyn-set family epic Love & Diane, the Brazilian reality nail-biter Bus 174, the Chinese Cultural Revolution doc Morning Sun, the French primary school heart-warmer To Be and to Have, and the aging-hippie portrait The Same River Twice. Though U Film's 35mm equipment has certainly seen better days, a spiffy new video projector has been installed just in time for us to witness the rebirths of both the Bell and the populist art film in sharp focus.
