ENDLESS POETRY

4:15 PM, 8:45 PM

ENDLESS POETRY details Jodorowsky’s life from the time he left the Chilean coastal town of Tocopilla for Santiago at the age of nine, through his decision to move to France when he was in his 20s. Told through Jodorowsky’s unique surreal and psychedelic visual language, Endless Poetry is an ode to the quest for beauty and inner truth as a universal force capable of changing one’s life forever.

DAVE MADE A MAZE

2:30 PM, 8:45 PM

Dave, an artist who has yet to complete anything significant in his career, builds a fort in his living room out of pure frustration, only to wind up trapped by the fantastical pitfalls, booby traps, and critters of his own creation.

LEMON

6:45 PM

Awash in fastidious unease & adoring contempt, Janicza Bravo’s (Gregory Go Boom) blurb-defying debut delights & unsettles, unflinchingly stripping down star/co-writer Brett Gelman. Michael Cera slays.

MARJORIE PRIME

6:30 PM

Michael Almereyda (ESCAPES, HAMLET, EXPERIMENTER) turns to Sci-Fi to exploits inspired performances by Jon Hamm, Geena Davis, Tim Robbins & Lois Smith while exploring memory, identity, love & loss - echoing Yorgos Lanthimos à la ALPS.

NOCTURAMA

1:30 PM

The new film by Bertrand Bonello is a terrorism thriller like no other, following a group of tense, shifty adolescents as they prowl the streets and subways of Paris, well underway with a bombing plot. And then the film becomes something familiar, yet altogether different, as these subversives tuck away inside a shopping mall and lose themselves in consumer culture.

THE PATERNAL HOUSE

4:15 PM

A banned film by Kianoosh Ayyari. Eighty years ago, for some moral issues, a man, together with his own son, kills his own daughter and buries her at the basement of their house. This hidden grave is simply tied to the next generations of the whole family and turns to be a restraining factor.
