“Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person”
An art house, vampire coming-of-age story that’s decidedly cool, impossibly hip, and unique in a way that’s never annoyingly quirky.
“Je’vida”
A heartbreaking yet empowering film about reclaiming your roots and your true self in a world that would rather ignore your existence.
“Black Ice”
An educational look at racist patterns in hockey that have existed since the sport’s inception, this documentary is a rallying cry for all fans to demand change for the better.
“The Blackening”
Packed with timely social commentary about stereotypes and “blackness,” this sophisticated horror satire is uncomfortable, whip-smart, and a whole lot of fun.
“Carmen”
An ambitious, beautifully filmed, avant-garde melodrama that’s a lot of style over substance.
