There is a one-day free online screening available on December 8 at 8:30 pm. Robert Reich will join filmmakers Heather Kinlaw Lofthouse and Elliot Kirschner to introduce the film, offer occasional commentary, and answer questions afterward.

If you enjoyed the film, you also can take the online course "Wealth and Poverty" that Reich taught at UC Berkley. He offers a deep look at why inequalities of income and wealth have widened significantly since the late 1970s in the United States, and why this poses dangerous risks to our society. 

Film Days has featured selections from the Thomas Edison Film Festival each year. The opportunity to watch award-winning short films in a variety of genres enriches the Film Days experience. You can view all the Thomas Edison Film Festival award-winning shorts, the ones we screened at Film Days, plus many others, online for free.

For 2025, Jane Steuerwald, executive director of the Thomas Edison Media Arts Consortium, selected the following award-winning shorts: Hunky Dory, A is for Ant, Entity, Dawn Every Day, Assemblages, How I Roll, and Serious and Lively.

Jetty is available to stream for $7.99. The film by Sam Fleischner, who came to Film Days, patiently documents two years of the decades-long federal project of installing granite jetties to protect the Rockaways—a coastal neighborhood of Queens—from the effects of eroding beaches.

Jetty brings “an aesthetic eye to the work of securing a shoreline devastated by Hurricane Sandy. [The] film highlights the beauty of social responsibility and civic trust...Fleischner conveys the power and the scope of the environmental project…with an intimate, hands-on aesthetic, yielding an immersively contemplative experience.” —The New Yorker

Cover-Up, available to stream on Netflix starting on December 26, is a political thriller that traces the explosive career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. Urgent and deeply reported, Cover-Up is both a portrait of a relentless journalist and an indictment of institutional violence and the cycles of impunity in the U.S. military and intelligence agencies. Drawing on exclusive access to Hersh’s notes, and interweaving primary documents and archival footage, Cover-Up  captures the power and process of investigative journalism. 

Some films are in negotiations with streaming services, others continue to be shown only in theaters or at film festivals. As more of the films featured at Glimmerglass Film Days in November 2025 are available to stream, we will add them here. If you find a film online, please let us know.
