SUMMARY:Chungking Express
DESCRIPTION:Pineapple Expiration Day!\nThe kinetic\, super-cool CHUNGKING EXPRESS is one of the defining works of ‘90s cinema and made Wong Kar Wai an instant icon. Two heartsick Hong Kong cops (Kaneshiro and Leung)\, both jilted by ex-lovers\, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out restaurant stand\, where the ethereal pixie waitress Faye (Wong) works. Anything goes in this gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer\, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” into tokens of romantic longing.

SUMMARY:Harlan County U.S.A.
DESCRIPTION:New 4K Restoration!\nThis film documents the coal miners’ strike against the Brookside Mine of the Eastover Mining Company in Harlan County\, Kentucky in June\, 1973. Eastover’s refusal to sign a contract (when the miners joined with the United Mine Workers of America) led to the strike\, which lasted more than a year and included violent battles between gun-toting company thugs/scabs and the picketing miners and their supportive women-folk. Director Barbara Kopple puts the strike into perspective by giving us some background on the historical plight of the miners and some history of the UMWA. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with New York Women in Film & Television in 2004.

SUMMARY:Elements of Cinema: Santa Sangre

SUMMARY:Late Fame
DESCRIPTION:A wonderfully introspective Willem Dafoe lends his delicate gravitas to the role of Ed Saxberger\, a once-upon-a-time New York poet who has worked at a post office for nearly four decades\, his work now largely forgotten. After an eager and flattering young fan (Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep one night\, Saxberger is welcomed into a new coterie of twentysomething admirers who hope to make him the central figure in an emerging literary salon. Intoxicated by the attention—and the presence of the wannabe tragedienne Gloria (a sinuous\, Kurt Weill-crooning Greta Lee)—Saxberger nevertheless must reckon with the authenticity of this newfound circle of aspirants. Kent Jones’s thoughtful and marvelously witty second feature adapts Arthur Schnitzler’s recently rediscovered novella LATE FAME (in a sly\, hugely entertaining script by Oscar-nominated MAY DECEMBER writer Samy Burch)\, updating the Austrian writer’s take on turn-of-the-century Vienna for a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York. –New York Film Festival guide

SUMMARY:One in a Million
DESCRIPTION:Filmed over ten years\, ONE IN A MILLION follows Israa from childhood to adulthood on an extraordinary journey from Syria to Germany—and back again. We first meet her at age 11 as she and her family are preparing to cross the Aegean Sea\, risking everything in search of safety and a better life in Europe. What unfolds is a deeply personal chronicle of war\, exile and heartbreak\, as Israa grows up navigating adolescence\, identity and belonging far from the home she was forced to leave. As Israa settles into life in Germany\, new freedoms collide with the stabilizing pull of Syrian traditions\, testing bonds and reshaping her sense of self. \nCo-directed by Itab Azzam and Jack MacInnes\, the film bears witness to the remarkable trust between filmmakers and family\, following Israa and her loved ones across borders\, cultures and shifting circumstances. An intimate and nuanced coming-of-age story\, ONE IN A MILLION illuminates the complexities of the refugee experience while asking a universal question: what does it truly mean to call a place home?

SUMMARY:Filipiñana
DESCRIPTION:Tee girl Isabel feels strangely drawn to Dr. Palanca\, the president of the country club where she works. However\, after piecing together a violent picture of what lies beneath the club’s pristine surface\, she realizes that what began as an innocent infatuation is actually rooted in a sinister shared history. \nDisplaying an extraordinary command of his surreal and unnerving visual language\, first-time filmmaker Rafael Manuel adapts his award-winning 2020 short film of the same name to chilling effect. Manuel plumbs the depths of Filipino identity and national consciousness to uncover ominous fragments and cracks that defy picture-perfect unity. Through a stylized\, colorful approach lensed with care and precision by cinematographer Xenia Patricia\, Manuel takes us into a world where violence and control are exerted with the subtle flick of a wrist or tip of a hat. Painting a scathing portrait of class disparities and post-colonial power structures in ways that are both quiet and unsettling\, FILIPIÑANA announces the arrival of an accomplished writer-director who unflinchingly confronts his country’s past\, present\, and future. —Ana Souza\, Sundance Film Festival guide

SUMMARY:Adam’s Apple
DESCRIPTION:An intimate\, collaborative documentary told through the dual perspectives of Adam\, a transgender teen\, and his mother\, visual artist Amy Jenkins\, that offers an authentic and tender counterpoint to the hostility facing trans youth today. Adam’s journey balances the milestones of gender transition with the rhythms of adolescence. As Adam asserts his identity and steps out into the world\, his parents grapple with the challenges of raising a teen while learning to let go. Through a visually poetic approach\, the film transforms a deeply personal archive\, collected over two decades\, into a powerful\, joyful testament to the beauty and difficulty of reckoning with profound change.

SUMMARY:I Want Your Sex
DESCRIPTION:When fresh-faced Elliot lands a job with artist and provocateur Erika Tracy\, his fantasies come true as she taps him to become her sexual muse. But Elliot finds himself out of his depth as Erika takes him on a journey into a world of sex\, obsession\, power\, betrayal\, and murder. \nIn writer-director Gregg Araki’s latest feature\, a sex-forward Los Angeles art gallery hosts a delightfully enigmatic sadomasochistic game\, as Cooper Hoffman’s eager Elliot is pushed to the edge by the sharply sardonic Erika\, masterfully portrayed by Olivia Wilde (also at the festival in our Closing Night film THE INVITE). More than an art-world satire or a celebration of depravity\, Araki and Karley Sciortino’s quick-witted writing and circular narrative structure reveal a spunky yet earnest reflection on the current state of sex—challenging misaligned conceptions of kink/predation\, exhibition\, and generational predispositions toward sexual freedom and autonomy. \nI WANT YOUR SEX constitutes a fresh\, prismatic validation of form for the auteur—an outrageously playful sexual crusade that only the one Gregg Araki could make. —CA\, Sundance Film Festival guide

SUMMARY:Cookie Queens
DESCRIPTION:It’s Girl Scout Cookie season\, and four tenacious girls strive to be a top-selling “Cookie Queen\,” navigating an $800 million business in which childhood and ambition collide. \nMeet Ara\, Olive\, Nikki\, and Shannon Elizabeth: four Girl Scouts with big personalities and big ambitions. The mission? Cookie sales. But their entrepreneurial spirit hints at bright futures ahead—think future Supreme Court justices\, CEOs\, and beyond. \nAlysa Nahmias’ sparkling film follows the girls through a cookie-selling season\, highlighting the girls’ charm and unsuspecting sharp business instincts. It isn’t just fun and games though. The girls and their families make real financial and time sacrifices to hit their goals\, trading laid-back weekends for hours outside\, wagons full of cookies in tow. Nahmias stays focused on the girls and their individual journeys\, offering a sincere\, playful window into a multimillion-dollar industry powered by their cookie booths. It’s a joyous\, heartwarming\, utterly sweet ride that cheers on the girls’ grit and ingenuity. —Stephanie Owens\, Sundance Film Festival guide

SUMMARY:The Naked Gun
DESCRIPTION:In a sea of mediocre reboots\, this revival of THE NAKED GUN franchise succeeds where so many have failed. It is gloriously silly\, unabashedly gag fueled\, and effortlessly updated to the present. Taking over from the late\, great Leslie Nielsen\, Liam Neeson (clearly game to make fun of his own late career action hero status) stars as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. following in his father’s footsteps as the LAPD’s resident supercop/idiot savant. \n
