Premiering at Slamdance Film Festival 2026, Clovers drops us into Asheboro, North Carolina, once labeled the fastest-dying city in America, and refuses to let us look away. Directed over a multi-year stretch by Jacob Hatley and Tom Vickers, the film centers on a quasi-legal strip mall casino and the orbit of people who land there when other structures collapse. What sounds like a gimmick becomes something heavier.

Forever Young arrives at a moment when longevity science dominates headlines and public imagination. Director David Donnelly has spent three years assembling a globe-spanning look at the breakthroughs reshaping our understanding of aging, working alongside producers Dr. James B. Johnson and Dr. Thomas B. Lewis, who help ensure the film stays rooted in scientific integrity. The result is a documentary that is as ambitious in scope as it is welcoming in tone, offering viewers a guided tour through the most promising frontiers of modern geroscience.

Chris Kasick’s Citizen Sleuth explores the rise and unraveling of Appalachian podcaster Emily Nestor, whose hit true crime series Mile Marker 181 investigates the mysterious death of a young woman in her community. What begins as a gripping chronicle of an amateur sleuth fighting for answers gradually evolves into something far more complicated: a portrait of how the pursuit of truth, fame, and justice can become dangerously entangled. Kasick sets the tone early with striking B-roll and stylized interview setups that reflect Nestor’s grassroots approach.

Enter the Samurai, directed by Brent Baisley, is a raw and often chaotic behind-the-scenes chronicle of the unlikely resurrection of Samurai Cop, a film once relegated to the annals of so-bad-it’s-good cinema. At just under an hour, this documentary captures the messy, passionate, and frequently absurd process of making Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance. While the sequel itself was divisive, this making-of film is arguably far more compelling than the movie it documents.

Richard Green’s I Know Catherine, the Log Lady is an intimate and deeply affectionate portrait of Catherine E. Coulson, the actress who brought to life one of television’s most enigmatic and beloved characters. Best known as the Log Lady in Twin Peaks, Coulson’s life and final days are explored in a documentary that’s as much about love and resilience as it is about legacy. Told through a blend of archival footage, personal recollections, and an impressive roster of interviews—including Oscar-winner David Lynch and Pulitzer Prize-winner Robert Schenkkan—the film showcases Coulson's unwavering devotion to storytelling.
