Julian, See You When I See You, When a Witness Recants | Provincetown International Film Festival 2026
From an array of eclectic films, here are three among the varied slate that may have been somewhat overlooked.
Film-Forward
The Gymnasts of Fisherman Colony; Humpty Dumpty X; Labrador—Autopsy of Silence; Mexicanamerican; Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders | Tribeca 2026
A variety of films covering 1990s Hollywood, nonconformist athletes in Pakistan, the American Dream, gay activism in 1970s New York, as well as a big award winner at the festival.
Maddie’s Secret
Inspired by a mishmash array of movies, John Early’s picture mixes tones successfully—both lighthearted and dark, a bit snide, but mostly earnest and heartfelt.
By Hook or By Crook
This newly restored, San Francisco–set trans and butch buddy movie is a fresh, invigorating jolt and an intimate glimpse of marginalized, yet commanding, characters from a bygone era.
Been Here Stay Here
Tangier Island, located in the Chesapeake Bay, has a population of about 400 people and is only two and a half miles long and roughly a mile wide. And it's disappearing.
Humboldt USA, Joybubbles, The Whole World Is a Lie | First Look 2026
All three films offer rich explorations in under 100-minute runtimes and are highly recommended.
