Caught by the Tides
Starring: Tao Zhao, Zhubin Li, You Zhou Directed by: Jia Zhang-ke (as Zhangke Jia)
Synopsis:
An enduring but fragile love story shared by Qiao Qiao and Guao Bin, set in China, from the early 2000s to the present day. One day, a restless Guao Bin leaves without any notice to try his luck in another province. Qiao Qiao decides to go looking for him.
Critics Say:
“Drawing from nearly 25 years of footage, including images from his most acclaimed films, Jia has crafted a poignant new story with an assist from fragments of old tales.”
– Tim Grierson, Los Angeles Times
“As emotionally effective as it is formally brilliant, it draws on a trove of material — both fiction and nonfiction — that Jia began shooting in 2001 while working on another movie.’
– Manohla Dargis, New York Times

The A-Frame
Starring: Johnny Whitworth, Dana Namerode Directed by: Calvin Lee Reeder
Synopsis:
A quantum physicist develops a machine that creates a tunnel to a subatomic universe. In his quest to prove the machine’s efficacy, he inadvertently discovers a radical treatment for cancer.
Critics Say:
“Reeder’s pitch-black sense of humor instead places this twisted slice of sci-fi horror closer to Tales from the Crypt for its almost whimsical sense of macabre justice.”
– Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
“When it begins toying with sci-fi tropes and possibilities, it becomes both aesthetically and narratively malformed and feels lost in a liminal space between acerbic gallows humor and existential genre fiction without fully leaning into either one.’
– Siddhant Adlakha, Variety

Harvest
Starring: Caleb Landry Jones, Harry Melling, Rosy McEwen Directed by: Athina Rachel Tsangari
Synopsis:
Over seven hallucinatory days, a village with no name, in an undefined time and place, disappears. In Athina Rachel Tsangari’s tragicomic take on a Western, townsman-turned-farmer Walter Thirsk and befuddled lord of the manor Charles Kent are childhood friends about to face an invasion from the outside world: the trauma of modernity.
Critics Say:
“Harvest can feel interminable even when a viewer is engaged with its ideas. But it does bring them to vivid, even bawdy, life.”
– Katie Rife, RogerEbert.com
‘Athina Rachel Tsangari‘s Harvest is her most stylistically ambitious film since her debut The Slow Business Of Going, rendering the anarchic and naturalistic rhythms of rural feudal life into a meditation on the displacement of culture.”
– Alex Lei, AV Club
Birthrite
Starring: Michael Chernus, Alice Kremelberg, Ross Partridge Directed by: Ross Partridge
Synopsis:
When a pregnant woman is bequeathed a home from an estranged aunt, she and her girlfriend leave the city behind to begin new chapter. But when a karmic debt threatens the life of their unborn child, they soon discover their place in the cursed history of the town.
Critics Say:
“A taut but humourful domestic thriller that pits old versus young, when they really should be looking outside of the other for the root cause of their issues.”
– Kat Hughes, THN
