SHEEP IN THE BOX
Aug 14

In the not-so-distant future, a grieving couple who has lost their son takes a humanoid with the same appearance and voice as their late child into their lives. SHEEP IN THE BOX is a poetic fairytale of parenthood and mourning.

ROSEBUSH PRUNING
Aug 14

Underneath the Catalonian sun, a rich white American family lives in hedonistic isolation, seeking love and validation through one another, their designer wardrobes, and pop music. When an outsider infiltrates the family, buried tensions surface and blood ties are severed. ROSEBUSH PRUNING is an absurd and funny take down of the patriarchal family.

NEIGHBORING SOUNDS
Aug 14·6:00 PM

Set on one block in a rapidly changing Brazilian city, this enthralling episodic story follows an old aristocrat attempting to maintain his hold on a fiefdom increasingly dense with paranoid high-rise-dwelling yuppies. Simmering clashes of class and race escalate with an often-humorous upstairs-downstairs vibe when the neighborhood hires a questionable security firm to protect the block.
