Synopsis:


"The night Abigail (Christina Ricci) meets Ben (Hamish Linklater) at a bar, they jokingly come up with a list of things to do before their imagined breakup, knowingly full well they'll never even start a relationship.

JUMP BACK TO TOP

What emerges is an unlikely friendship between the two men..."






Speed of Life (January 10, 2020 - VOD/Digital)

JUMP BACK TO TOP



Director: Liz Manashil

Starring: Allison Tolman, Ann Dowd, Ray Santiago, Jeff Perry, Vella Lovell, Sean Wright, Christine Weatherup

Synopsis:


"In 2016, David Bowie's death creates a rift in time and space. June (Allison Tolman) and Edward (Ray Santiago) are in the midst of an argument when Edward falls into a wormhole created by Bowie's death, vanishing without a trace. In 2040, June (Ann Dowd) continues to mourn Edward while facing the new society's Orwellian dictates associated with her approaching 60th birthday. As June plans her escape, Edward suddenly reappears, not having aged a day. Confronted by both her past and future, the answer to June's dilemmas won't come easily."






The Painted Bird (2020)

JUMP BACK TO TOP



Director: Vaclav Marhoul

Starring: Petr Kotlar, Udo Kier, Stellan Skarsgard, Harvey Keitel, Julian Sands, Barry Pepper

Synopsis:


"Czech director Vaclav Marhoul's cinematic masterpiece THE PAINTED BIRD, is a movie adaptation of Jerzy Kosinski's controversial novel about a lone Jewish boy wandering through a cruel obstacle course of survival and abuse in Eastern Europe at the end of World War II.

The film follows the journey of The Boy, entrusted by his persecuted parents to an elderly foster mother. The old woman soon dies and the Boy is on his own, wandering through the country-side, from village to farmhouse. As he struggles for survival, The Boy suffers through extraordinary brutality meted out by the ignorant, superstitious peasants and he witnesses the terrifying violence of the efficient, ruthless soldiers, both Russian and German. When the war ends, The Boy has been changed, forever."







Beanpole (January 29, 2020 - limited release)

JUMP BACK TO TOP



Director: Kantemir Balagov

Starring: Viktoria Miroshnichenko, Vasilisa Perelygina, Andrey Bykov, Igor Shirokov, Olga Dragunova, Konstantin Balakirev, Ksenia Kutepova

Synopsis:


"In immediate post-WWII Leningrad, two women, Iya and Masha (astonishing newcomers Viktoria Miroshnichenko and Vasilisa Perelygina), intensely bonded after fighting side by side as anti-aircraft gunners, attempt to readjust to a haunted world. As the film begins, Iya, long and slender and towering over everyone -- hence the film's title -- works as a nurse in a shell-shocked hospital, presiding over traumatized soldiers. A shocking accident brings them closer and also seals their fates.

The 27-year-old Russian director Kantemir Balagov -- whose debut feature Closeness caused a stir at Cannes and the New Directors/New Films festival just last year -- won Un Certain Regard's Best Director prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival for this richly burnished, occasionally harrowing rendering of the persistent scars of war."







The Climb (March 20, 2020 - limited release)

JUMP BACK TO TOP



Director: Michael Angelo Covino

Starring: Kyle Marvin, Michael Angelo Covino, Gayle Rankin, Talia Balsam, George Wendt, Todd Barry, Daniella Covino, Judith Godreche, Eden Malyn, Zina Wilde, Sondra James

Synopsis:


"Kyle and Mike are best friends who share a close bond -- until Mike sleeps with Kyle's fiancee.

THE CLIMB is about a tumultuous but enduring relationship between two men across many years of laughter, heartbreak and rage. It is also the story of real-life best friends who turn their profound connection into a rich, humane and frequently uproarious film about the boundaries (or lack thereof) in all close friendships."
