Amidst the spines ye see: HAL (2018 doc on the career of Hal Ashby) THE DEATH OF DICK LONG (expectedly wild new movie from one half of the Swiss Army Man team) END OF THE CENTURY (2019 Argentinian gay romantic drama compared to Linklater’s ‘Before’ films and Apichatpong Weerasethakul) TESNOTA (aka CLOSENESS; Beanpole director Kantemir Balagov’s 2017 debut) THE DAY AFTER (Hong Sang-soo’s 2017 drama, not the nuclear apocalypse one which we also have) THE COMPETITION (2016, verite look at prestigious French film school La Fémis), Debut features of Oliver Stone (SEIZURE) and Guy Maddin’s (TALES FROM THE GIMLI HOSPITAL) ...and much more!
