A Want in Her

When her troubled mother goes missing, Irish filmmaker Myrid Carten returns home to find her—at the risk of losing herself. Drawing upon previously captured footage, new interventions, and extraordinarily evocative visual experiments within their living spaces, Carten reinvents the “home movie” as an aching, active processing.

Measures for a Funeral

The latest from singular artist Sofia Bohdanowicz richly blends family history with archival research and gothic storytelling. Director Bohdanowicz and actors Melanie Scheiner and Rosa-Johan Uddoh in person.

Chronicles of the Absurd

Miguel Coyula and actor Lynn Cruz were subjected to various forms of control and intimidation while making their dystopian feature Corazón azul in Cuba in 2011. This defiant and entertaining work playfully uses recalls their Kafkaesque experiences. Screening 3/16.

Diciannove

Closing Night

Giovanni Tortorici’s debut feature is narratively deft and stylistically dashing, zigzagging along with Leonardo’s impulsive, self-absorbed, and potentially toxic behavior. Director in person for First Look closing night 3/16!

Stopping traditional medical treatments for her rapidly spreading cancer, visual artist Noelia (Isel Rodriguez) returns to her native Puerto Rico, and rejoins their struggle against the lingering effects of U.S. imperialism and environmental devastation.

Frith.
