Filmmaker Joanna Arnow’s hilarious comedy, which world-premiered in Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight and is executive produced by Sean Baker, follows a 30-something New York woman (Arnow) as time passes in her long-term casual BDSM relationship, low-level corporate job, and quarrelsome Jewish family.

The bewilderment of the early days of COVID is given a manic queer twist in Theda Hammel’s propulsive, brilliantly discombobulating comedy set in Brooklyn in the summer of 2020. Feeling the sting from a recent separation from his husband, Terry (John Early) is doing his due, über-masked diligence to watch over his nephew Bahlul (Qaher Harhash), a Moroccan male model who is staying with Terry while nursing a broken leg. Meanwhile, Terry is fearful that…

After spending years in Belgium, Koffi (Marc Zinga), a young Congolese man, returns to his birthplace of Kinshasa to confront his family and homeland culture. Secrecy and sorcery erupt when a nosebleed is mistaken for a curse, and Koffi is shunned from his family.

This revolutionary DIY parody film and hilarious reimagining of the classic autobiographical coming-of-age story follows an unconfident, closeted trans girl as she moves to Gotham City to make it big as a comedian by joining the cast of UCB Live – a government-sanctioned late night sketch show in a world where comedy has been outlawed. As mainstream success eludes our heroine, leading her to unite with a ragtag team of rejects, misfits, and a certain…

A punk spirit pervades this endearingly DIY film, which gleefully blends animation, horror, and essay-film tropes into an unpredictable mix. Thrillingly inventive and bursting with hope, Bertrand Bonello addresses with poignancy and frankness the anxieties of a young generation facing an uncertain future.
Now streaming exclusively, and (almost) globally.
in the director q&a moderated by detransition, baby author torrey peters, theda hammel gave a great explanation of the title that i don’t remember well enough to claim to quote here but basically she said stress positions are a method of torture where you have to stay in place and i think that is sooo perfect for this movie where carla and terry and vanessa and bahlul are like trapped in their very unideal living situations but can really only complain…
this was Extremely For Me!
saw opening night at ifc. very good. would’ve loved to hear more about the politics of making a movie about covid, the decisions made to show/not show the various maladies that befell each character, the longer term consequences, etc. so many good reveals, so much fun chemistry especially between zimmer and harhash (honestly harhash and EVERYONE). love the mess, love the overlapping brooklyn relationships that appear out of nowhere, love the pushing and pulling of…
Q&A with Theda at my screening where she stated something so important: that millenial young adulthood began at 9/11 and ended with covid. The film observes a fail state of millenial queer community and where narcissism interacts with morality
