Shopsin’s is the quintessential New York restaurant, inhabited by the equally prototypical New York chef, Kenny, in this character study par excellence. But his culinary legerdemain is only half of what you get when you enter his domain, and heaven help you if it’s with a group of five. Kenny’s observations about life, politics, food, and sex give this film a vitality that doesn’t let up. I was desperate to eat at Shopsin’s by the end.--Geoffrey Gilmore, Sundance Film Festival

Ilusiones Opticas
A blind skier, a voyeuristic security guard, a disgruntled healthcare worker and a flat-chested secretary make up the circle of oddball, yet endearingly ordinary characters in this melancholy and comical look at the subtle differences between perception and reality. Award-winning director Cristián Jiménez pokes fun brilliantly at our obsession with appearances, leaving us to wonder if the world around us is no more than an optical illusion.

I'm Okay
I'm Okay
The current refugee crisis, the deepest the world has seen since World War II, has been burned into everyone’s consciousness. Journalist and filmmaker Pia Lenz set out to approach the topic with a new set of eyes. She follows two families as they resettle in Germany. Lenz is as patient as the film’s subjects, taking the time to transform from making a film about the refugee problem to a thoughtful look at the refugees as individuals

In the chaotic final days of World War II, a group of exhausted Hungarian Jews is on a forced march towards certain death. Stopping in a sleepy Austrian village, the captives begin staging a Strauss operetta for the locals in the slender hope of keeping alive. The debut feature from Elisabeth Scharang is a suspenseful, bittersweet tale that will haunt the viewer long after the final credits have rolled.

In Between
Sex, drugs, techno, and . . . Arab traditions? What sounds like an unlikely combination exerts a strong emotional attraction in this female dramedy about friendship, love and the search for independence by three young, hip, Palestinian women. When the Muslim—and religious—Nour moves in with hard-partying Laila and Salma, all three begin their own journeys of self-discovery and gain an understanding of the male-dominated society in which they live but refuse to reconcile themselves to.
In Case I Never Win the Golden Palm
In Case I Never Win the Golden Palm
Taking the adage “write what you know” to its absurd extreme, French Jewish director Renaud Cohen offers this self-referential comedy about a French Jewish film director who (like Cohen, who also plays the lead) has not made a film in a decade and worries he’ll never make another. This gentle satire has unmistakable French whimsy, playing like a nebbish cousin of Truffaut’s Day for Night. [MINIGUIDE 65/70]

In Heaven Underground: The Weissensee Jewish Cemetery
A lush, surprising and utterly absorbing journey into the lively stories hidden among the tombstones, pathways and woodlands of the Weissensee Jewish Cemetery, which has been in continuous operation in Berlin for 130 years. The legendary cemetery contains 115,000 graves, but the film is not simply a chronicle of its famous philosophers, writers and artists: It brims with vitality as we meet the families, neighbors and characters whose lives intersect here.
