FEATURE FILMS

A broken hearted college professor tries to get over an 8 year relationship by meeting someone new using a dating app called SnatchR.

Leon Joosen LAND OF THE MUSTACHES (USA, 88 minutes)
Land of the Mustaches is an autobiographical story of a young girl growing up in the Displaced Persons refugee camps with her mother and grandmother after World War Two left them starving and stateless, and her father’s disappearance into Stalin’s notorious Gulag labor camps in Siberia with only what he was wearing the day he was abducted—two hard paths that parallel each other until they finally merge into one story: The ultimate celebration of resilience and the human spirit.

Goksin Doga Egesoy ICARUS (Turkey, 92 minutes)
How far must one fall to understand the weight of their own dreams? Gökşin Doğa Egesoy’s Icarus is a self-reflective echo of every struggling artist’s nightmare wrapped in sharp humor, raw performances, and a deliberately unpolished aesthetic that mirrors the creative turbulence of its protagonists.

Kesang Tseten THE LAMA’S SON (Nepal, 73 minutes)
In Nepal’s Himalaya, a Bonpo Lama awaits his son to return from NY to take over his ancient role. It is a sign of a society crumbling, exacerbated by climate.
