Available now on DVD from Microcinema International & Digital Download from our website, Possible Films 2 comprises five new short films by Hal Hartley made when he was living and working in Europe.
“Exploring small ideas that couldn’t be fleshed out in feature form, Hartley creates intimate works that are honest and feel like they’re done by an artist doing it for the love of the craft, not looking for a quick buck. But would we think anything less from Hartley?” —Filmmaker Magazine

True Fiction Pictures & Possible Films Book (2008)
A conversation between Hal Hartley & Kenneth Kaleta. Hal Hartley’s comedies and explorations of mismatched love and misplaced trust have been provocative must-sees for the past two decades with critics and audiences alike. Given the range and depth of his interests, along with the decidedly rigorous pursuit of a deeply felt aesthetic, his films are [...]
Fay Grim Soundtrack (2007)
The music for Fay Grim is based on themes first created for the film Henry Fool (1998). Fay Grim is something of a sequel as well as a satire on contemporary international relations.

The Girl From Monday Soundtrack (2005)

This music grew out of the work Hal Hartley was engaged in from 1998 till 2004 – a period in which he chose to focus on more experimental films, theater, and music. Track List: 1. Partisans [...]

Possible Music 1 – From the Films (etc) of Hal Hartley (2004)
