It’s Daylight Savings! Spend your extra hour with DOC NYC. Sunday’s films include the family-friendly Sea Monsters 3D, With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story, three collections of short films and lots more!

Other films include:

Jascha Heifetz was the first modern violin virtuoso. Itzhak Perlman refers to him as a god, and his name was referenced throughout popular culture from the Muppets to Woody Allen. Behind the legend, Heifetz was a mysterious figure whose story embodies the paradox of artistic genius that extracts a price. In God’s Fiddler:Jascha Heifetz, director Peter Rosen delivers a memorable portrait of the man behind the music.

Cinema buffs will love Blazing the Trail: The O’Kalems in Ireland, which reveals the legacy of New York’s silent movie pioneer The Kalem Film Company. Toplined by director Sidney Olcott and actress Gene Gauntier, they traveled to Ireland in 1910 to produce the country’s first feature film and built on its success with other tales of immigration, romance and rebellion. Uncovering never-before-seen footage, this remarkable history will capture the hearts of film lovers.
