Wild Indian

Helmed by director/writer Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr., this feature narrates a Native American take on Cain and Abel trdy and is cut too close to bone. narrative of this film makes it a difficult watch as it covers childhood murder, repression, re-invention and hazards of fitting in. Characters face challenge of stepping away from your herit and artists Michael Grayeyes and Chaske Spencer deliver shattering performances.

My Name is Pauli Murray

This film is me by Oscar-minated director behind documentary, RBG.  directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen  became acquainted with life and work of Murray, an influential Black lawyer/activist/poet/while y were still working on RBG. Murray was also an author and priest and UC Berkeley School of Law gruate. In fact, it was ne or Ruth Ber Ginsburg herself who h tipped off filmmakers to Murray’s compelling story. As Murray is lesser-kwn in many circles this film narrates story of her legacy and her struggle with depression and as well as identity issues.

Pink Cloud

Quite a number of Sundance titles dressed  COVID-19 pandemic. Same Breath and How It Ends, were two films that captured essence of year 2020 and humanities struggle with COVID. However, one of films that stood out most in this genre was me by Brazilian director/writer Iuli Gerbase. This quarantine drama was filmed prior to shutdown, and seems utterly prophetic in its observation of psychological dam wrought by a shutdown. story follows a couple (Renata de Lelis and Eduardo Mendonca) who are sealed with ir newborn in an apartment, and Gerbase captures numbing, everyday claustrophobia as family watches mysterious and dely pink clouds that never leave.

First Date

First-time feature filmmakers Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp take ir audiences on a joy ride with this jaunty comedy/thriller. It is fondly inspired by likes of Robert Rodriguez, John Hughes and Quentin Taranti. In ir narrating of this story Valley Springs buddies have effectively put a new engine under hood of tired coming-of- comedy-drama.

R#J

If you thought that Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was too old to be brought to life in a new way, director Carey Williams has proven you wrong.  Williams brings a poppin’ new style in this take on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, by filling cast with young actors of colour and filming it via social media platforms. To reach his lofty ambitions director used very modest means, especially in finale.

Cryptozoo

One of fan favourite graphic velists is Dash Shaw, who followed up his feature debut My Entire High School Sinking Into Sea with this surreal offering. Cryptozoo is set in a San Francisco zoo overrun with fantastical hybrid animal characters. y are threatened by homo sapiens, as military is seeking to weaponize m. This film is one of few animated pieces me this year.

Eight for Silver

Fans of classic Hammer horror films should need to sink ir teeth into writer/director Sean Ellis’s werewolf tale. Actor Boyd Holbrook of Narcos plays up his hunk factor as a 19th-century pathologist. His character discovers a curse hounding a rich family whose patriarch triggered a vile act of gecide. film is filled with Gothic mystique with relish and outfits and jump scares that’ll make you giggle.
