Director: Julien Colonna
Starring: Andre Cossu | Anthony Morganti | Frederic Poggi | Ghjuvanna Benedetti | Saveriu Santucci

Starring: Dolly De Leon | Hanna Dworkin | Katherine Mallen Kupferer | Keith Kupferer | Tara Mallen

Ghostlight

Brett says: “Men will literally kill the envious moon who is already sick and pale with grief instead of going to therapy. Alright, methinks this review doth meme too much. So, if the language of the plays of ‘The Bard’

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.3 cats | 4.25 cats
Director: Amanda Kramer
Starring: Annie Kyle | Cricket Arrison | M. Diesel | Reshma Gajjar | Tess Hewlett

Give Me Pity!

Chris says: “Cheerfully billed as ‘A Saturday Night Television Special’ starring Sissy St. Claire (Sophie von Haselberg), writer/director Amanda Kramer’s film may feel as if it’s beaming in from another planet to those unfamiliar with 1970s/80s variety shows. Devotees of

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.3 cats
Director: Eytan Fox
Starring: John Benjamin Hickey | Lihi Kornowski | Miki Kam | Niv Nissim | Peter Spears

Sublet

Cheryl says: “This film is simply melodramatic, filled to the brim with silent sequences where the protagonist, Michael, attempts to use a myriad of facial expressions to convey his feelings, and often spews dialogue that is frankly on-the nose and

Breuer’s Bohemia (2021)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.3 cats
Director: James Crump

Breuer’s Bohemia

Chris says: “Architectural students and Mid-Century Modern devotees will find much to like in this study of Marcel Breuer, a Hungarian emigre, Bauhaus student and champion of Brutalism. Although he’s best known for works like the Whitney Museum and UNESCO

Director: Jane Schoenbrun
Starring: Anna Cobb | Michael J Rogers

We Are All going to the World’s Fair

Chris says: “I know this might make me sound like an Old Person, but I didn’t fully grasp this movie’s point. The first half maintains a good level of creativity and suspense as teenager Casey takes ‘The World’s Fair Challenge’,
