Starting with “The Unbelievable Truth” in 1989 and continuing in the ‘90s with films like “Trust” and “Henry Fool,” Hal Hartley was acclaimed as one of the leading voices of the new age of indie directors, following his own vision and eccentric style to create distinctively quirky stories.

But after eight films in ten years, Hartley’s output slowed and then, after “Ned Rifle” in 2014, stopped; it was partly due to Hartley’s expanding interests and partly to industry shifts that made his smaller films more difficult to fund and distribute.

Now Hartley’s back with “Where to Land,” featuring old favorites of his, Robert John Burke, Bill Sage and Edie Falco.
