This Old Cub
starring: Ron Santo, Dennis Farina, Joe Mantegna, Bill Murray, William Petersen
directed by: Jeff Santo
This Old Cub is an acclaimed documentary about former nine-time all-star third baseman, broadcaster, and Chicago Cubs legend Ron Santo and his lifelong battle with diabetes. Santo was the first and only major league position player to play professional baseball with Type One diabetes (insulin dependant). He played most of his career without revealing his disease for fear that he would be forced to retire from baseball. At a time when much less was known about how to regulate insulin levels, Santo rarely missed a game—taking injections and eating chocolate bars based on how he felt from moment to moment. This Old Cub captures the spirit of a man and his will to achieve. Santo is the ultimate optimist and therefore the ultimate Cub.

There's Something About Mcconkey
Ten years ago, young renegade ski racer Shane McConkey quit his collegiate team to pursue a career in the small, unglamorous world of freeskiing. Through the '90s, McConkey battled the odds and the establishment as he put "fun" back in skiing. With an unprecedented manner of attacking mountains and a committed effort to appear ridiculous, McConkey opened the doors to a new way of thinking and skiing. As attention to his feats and antics blossomed, so did the sport around him. We've teamed up the raddest skiers of today with the past decade's most influential skier and biggest idiot. So sit back for a wacky, whirlwind tour through a man, a mind and a sport. You may never look at skiing the same way again. 60 minutes.

Tango, Our Dance
starring: Estela Arcos, Julio Bocca, Arthur Bold, Arturo Bonín, Juan Carlos Copes
directed by: Jorge Zanada
The sensuality and stylized ritual of the tango are captured in this illuminating documentary. Director Jorge Zanada spent years researching and recording the tango's place in Argentine culture and exploring the machismo that drives the dance. Most riveting are the milongueros-the amateur dancers who preserve the pure, traditional steps. Their intimate stories about their personal experiences reveal the intensity that feed their individual tango styles. Numerous tango aficionados, including actors Robert Duvall and Juan Carlos Copes (star of Broadway's TANGO ARGENTINO), make special appearances. A passionate valentine to what Martha Graham called "the most beautiful dance of this century."

Still Walking
starring: Yogi, Batteries Included, The Beer Poet, Gruevy, Billy Goat Squatch
directed by: Scott "Squatch" Herriott
In this follow-up to his 2003 documentary "Walk" (official 2004 selection of the Greenwich, Malibu and Olympia film festivals) Scott Herriott returns to the Pacific Crest Trail to find out what tales the Class of '05 had to tell...including some involving salt-crazed deer, a rescued baby falcon and yet another possible Bigfoot encounter. He also revisits members of the Class of '03 to see what they're up to now...including the wedding of Belcher and Navigator who tie the knot at, what else, but Camp Belchigator. Over 100 interviews, beautiful scenery and a longer hike this time by the director as he meanders his way down the northern third of Oregon interviewing those he had talked to earlier in the year. Naturally, he gets lost, runs into three equally stray hunting dogs replete with radio collars and just, generally, has a helluva good time.
