About the film

When Johnny’s successful life trajectory as a banker and a soon-to-be-groom is upended when his (unsatisfied) fiancée Lisa decides to seduce his best friend Mark, he begins taping phone conversations between Lisa and her mother in an attempt to figure out who Lisa is having an affair with. Meanwhile, as things spiral downward for Johnny, he leans more on Mark and a psychologist for help keeping it all together. However, the affair between Mark and Lisa comes to light (in a very public way), flinging Johnny headlong into a nervous breakdown…and worse!

WEAPONS – Last Day: Thursday, September 11th

Watch Trailer Director: Zach Cregger
Cast: Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Elden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong

On the heels of the success of his rule-breaking horror-thriller Barbarian, writer-director Zach Cregger returns with an audacious new horror-mystery that tips its hat to the works of Paul Thomas Anderson and sculpts a character-centric story into a tale of epic proportions.

When all but one child from a class of seventeen third-graders mysteriously vanish without a trace on the same night at exactly the same time, the community of Maybrook struggles, with minimal clues to guide them, to find out who or what is behind the strange disappearance. Confused, grieving, and seeking answers, the town have little choice but to direct their anger towards the 3rd grade teacher (Julia Garner) who doesn’t have the best reputation. However, when she’s put on leave, she takes it upon herself to investigate the matter and try to clear her name. She ends up crossing paths with several of the townsfolk…any one of whom could be responsible for the tragic mystery.

About the film

Blending genres, provoking awareness about socio-political issues, and adding a healthy dose of weirdness, Bacurau has been wowing critics and audiences alike since its release in 2019!

A small community in rural Brazil comes together to for a funeral to pay their respects to Carmelita, considered by all to be the elder matriarch of the village. After the event takes place, however, strange things begin to happen: the village seems to have disappeared from online maps and satellite photos, strange people visit the out-of-the-way location, and the villagers witness what they think to be a UFO sighting. Moreover, an ongoing water dispute with a wealthy city up-river brings unforeseen violence to the community when the corrupt mayor of the wealthy city arrives to secure the electoral support from the villagers. The villagers are forced to take up arms and defend their humble farms and traditional way of life.

PILLION

Watch Trailer

In the award-winning A24 Studios debut from English filmmaker Harry Lighton, Harry Melling (Harry Potter, The Queen’s Gambit) and Alexander Skargård (Melancholia, The Northman) play characters that come from opposite sides of the personality spectrum to explore a passionate BDSM relationship.

Introvert Colin (Melling) lives a grey life as a middle-aged parking attendant who still resides with his parents. The only splashes of color in his humdrum days are participating in a barbershop quartet and visits to the local pub. That all changes when, on a night out, Colin encounters a devastatingly handsome street biker (Skarsgård) who seems to offer some excitement. The two strike up an affair that quickly leads to a romance. As things progress, Ray proves to be the more dominant of the two, though Colin finds pleasure in playing the submissive role to Ray’s demands. When the death of Colin’s mother threatens to unravel the intricate relationship, the two struggle to decide whether the current dynamic is enough to maintain a long-term companionship.

About the film

Shedding light on the resilience of communities facing the brunt of climate injustice, Edge of Hope, focuses on Miami, FL as the city grapples with rising sea levels, extreme heat, intensified hurricanes, and other harbingers of crisis. The film uncovers how systemic inequities magnify the challenges of climate change, disproportionately impacting vulnerable populations. By weaving together the voices of experts and community advocates, the film presents a powerful narrative of both struggle and determination.

More than just a documentary, Edge of Hope is a testament to the power of resistance and collective hope. It challenges viewers to reflect on the systemic forces at play while inspiring change through community-driven solutions. As climate threats escalate, this film serves as a crucial reminder that hope, and action remain vital in the fight for environmental justice.
