(rec by Grant VanLanduyt)
"A heartbreaking documentary about trans actress and Warhol Superstar, Candy Darling. It's an inside look at 1970s New York and queer lives at the beginning of Gay Liberation. Candy was stunning and charming and is a 1940s film character come to life."
dir. Sion Sono
(rec by Tully Olsen)
"FREEDOM? WHAT'S THAT? Kyoko is a novel writer and artist. She shuts herself in a room painted in bright colors. She carries out her schedule minute by minute," (Letterboxd).
dir. Slava Tsukerman
(rec by Declan Battles)

dir. Allan Moyle
(rec by Clarice Arther)

(rec by Lauren Neher)
"The story of a precocious six year-old and her ragtag group of friends whose summer break is filled with childhood wonder, possibility and a sense of adventure while the adults around them struggle with hard times," (Letterboxd).
dir. Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia
(rec by Emily Arther)
"A mysterious place, an indescribable prison, a deep hole. An unknown number of levels. Two inmates living on each level. A descending platform containing food for all of them. An inhuman fight for survival, but also an opportunity for solidarity," (Letterboxd).
dir. Seidelman
(rec by Grant VanLanduyt)
"Meryl Streep can do comedy, but you already knew that. Roseanne plays a revenge seeking housewife after finding out her husband has an affair with rich romance novelist played by Streep. So campy and fun with great costumes and a star studded cast."
dir. Sebastián Silva
(rec by Tully Olsen)
"Jamie is a boorish, insensitive American twenty-something traveling in Chile, who somehow manages to create chaos at every turn. He and his friends are planning on taking a road trip north to experience a legendary shamanistic hallucinogen called the San Pedro cactus. In a fit of drunkenness at a wild party, Jamie invites an eccentric woman—a radical spirit named Crystal Fairy—to come along," (Letterboxd).
dir. Alma Har'el
(rec by Lauren Neher)
"The story of a child star attempting to mend his relationship with his law-breaking, alcohol-abusing father over the course of a decade, loosely based on Shia LaBeouf’s life," (Letterboxd).
