Film-Forward

This cringey comedy may be the best unofficial sequel to the 2010 documentary Catfish. 

A quiet man with a dark past, quirky villagers, and a climactic bloodbath, all set in the quiet Welsh countryside.

A frank and at times discomforting, in-depth portrait of young man who has cerebral palsy.

Radu Munteanu’s mordant comedy slides from a Romanian Green Acres to the grotesque.

Two Ukrainian films are reminders that the current situation in Eastern Europe isn’t unprecedented at all, but history sadly repeating itself.

Not an easy film to watch, this dark satire is challenging, violent, gruesome, and maybe even necessary.

The film nimbly becomes a thriller without shedding its established rhythm. Before you know it, the tone has turned uncomfortably ominous. 

Andrea Riseborough, who is practically a regular at SXSW, has arguably never been better.

Director Alison Otto exposes the double life of an unassuming middle-aged couple responsible for the theft of a Willem de Kooning painting, now estimated to be worth $160 million.
