Release of Award-winning Documentary Feature Los Hermanos/The Brothers
NEW YORK – First Run Features has acquired the award-winning documentary feature
Los Hermanos / The Brothers and will release it in theaters nationwide (via a mix of in-person and virtual cinema runs) starting Friday, May 14 in dozens of cities including Chicago, Los Angeles (Laemmle Theaters), Miami, New York (at Symphony Space), Washington, DC, as well as Akron, Buffalo, Kansas City, Sarasota, Winston-Salem, and many others.
Directed by Marcia Jarmel and Ken Schneider, the film follows virtuoso Cuban-born brothers Ilmar the violinist, and Aldo the pianist who live on opposite sides of a geopolitical chasm a half century wide. Linked by music and dreams, their unfolding story offers a nuanced, often startling view of nations long estranged, and a vision of what can happen when borders can be crossed.

For 14 months, Bay Area film festivals have made do during the COVID-19 pandemic with streaming, drive-in showings and virtual Q&As with filmmakers and stars.
To be sure, outdoor screenings offer their own charms and festival streaming is here to stay. But some still clamor for the intimacy, community and power that only a theatrical festival experience can provide.
Well, the wait appears to be over. On Friday, May 7, the DocLands Documentary Film Festival in San Rafael is set to become the first Bay Area festival to take the leap, scheduling two-a-day indoor screenings until it wraps up May 16. DocLands will also feature a few in-person Q&As after select screenings.
