Kontinental '25 ()

Cast: Eszter Tompa, Gabriel Spahiu
Runtime: 1 hr. 49 mins.

When Orsolya oversees the eviction of a local elderly man in Cluj, Transylvania, the unintended consequences come to shatter her and her understanding of her place in society. Spiraling into an existential crisis, she traverses the city, meeting with various people in her life — her husband, an old friend, her former student, a priest — to consider and reconcile her place in an increasingly maddening modern world in award-winning filmmaker Radu Jude’s latest furious and hysterical moral parable.

Two Prosecutors ()

Cast: Aleksandr Kuznetsov, Aleksandr Filippenko
Runtime: 1 hr. 58 mins.

Summoned with a blood-written note smuggled out of a prison block, an idealistic state lawyer (Alexander Kuznetsov) pushes past the prison's leery authorities to interview an elderly, broken-down Bolshevik (Aleksandr Filippenko). The young attorney, determined to expose the miscarriages of justice that landed the man in confinement, finds the eye of the state turned on him instead, as an ever-tightening net encircles his investigation. Set at the height of the great purge and drenched in the paranoia of Stalin’s police state, filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa’s latest triumph is a chilling, Kafkaesque thriller about the impunity of power and matter-of-fact horrors of fascism.

My Omaha ()

Cast: Nick Beaulieu
Runtime: 1 hr. 25 mins.

Set against the backdrop of Omaha's deep divides and burgeoning racial justice movement, MY OMAHA tells the story of filmmaker Nick Beaulieu's personal journey to document the activism of his hometown and reconcile with his terminally ill father Randy, a staunch pro-Trump supporter. Guided by the wisdom of community activist Leo Louis II, Nick navigates the complexities of family conflict, political and racial discord, and the difficult search for common ground.
