If “Clerks” and “Dangerous Liasons” had a bastard child, it would be “The Snake”. Ken (Adam Goldstein) overcompensates for his insecurities by seducing women. Not a bad plan… if he could actually seduce any.

Sinking to a new low, Ken joins a support group to get into the skinny jeans of Talia (Nina Braddock). He intends to win her over by enabling her eating disorder, but first he must survive “partner time” with the other members – including a radical feminist and a vengeful divorcée. Can Ken maintain his sensitive charade, or will he be outed as The Snake?

This pitch black comedy, complete with an appearance by Margaret Cho, will make you cringe with laughter!

"A Fun Fair behind the Dikes" In his trademark tongue-in-cheek style, director Michiel van Erp follows a Chinese tour bus' exploration into the daily distractions of people in the Netherlands. Focusing on the mechanics of the Dutch tourism industry and events from Gay Pride Amsterdam to an Elf Fantasy Fair, the film follows the organizers and key figures behind events and destinations. This includes the director of the Efteling theme park creating a new roller coaster, to a manager of an outlet store promoting his store with a chocolate bed. A look at how Dutch citizens spend their vacation and leisure time as seen through the eyes of Chinese tourists. There is nothing quite like this.

COMEDY

Director: Khavn De La Cruz
Cast: Hapon

"Squatterpunk" follows an eight year old Slum King named Hapon, a cocky would-be gangster, through one of the thousands of shanty towns that sprang up between the cracks in the Manila pavement. Like watching infants at play at a car crash, it's a hypnotic, almost seamless mix of social realism and visual poetry. The relentless noise leaves no room for dialog, making a stark impression without comment and, more significantly, without judgment.

A vivid and jarring collection of postcards of innocence at the brink of a short and possibly non-existent adolescence, of simple pleasures amidst appalling squalor, of human junk that society ignores in a country the rest of the world prefers to forget.

In this independent drama, Dave and Mark are two buddies who have recently graduated from high school in Watsonville, California. Dave works in a comic book store, while Mark is preparing to go to college in the fall. When their friend Gary is released from jail, the three spend most of the summer drinking beer, chasing girls, and committing petty crimes. As the fall approaches, and with it the first stages of responsible adulthood, the three realize that the days are numbered for their friendship as they know it.

"Sunsets" chronicles the ennui, drunken bouts, and petty crimes of three young men, growing up in a small town. Understated, honest, and funny, "Sunsets" is very much a coming-of-age story that is compelling in its purity and rawness.

Gruesome and grisly murders are our entry point into the psyche of the Aswang of Quezon City. More a meditation on the workings of a disturbed mind than a detective thriller, it nonetheless shows us a cat and mouse mind game. We watch and squirm in terror as the Pinoy vampire strikes again and again.

Thriller

Director: Uli Gaulke
Cast: Lasanne Badiel, Yong-Sil Han, Anup Jagdale, Penny Tefertiller

The lights dim. The surface brightens. Sound and image fill the movie theatre. Magic and dreams.  Comrades in Dreams is a valentine to the pleasures of cinema. In a world dominated by cookie-cutter multiplexes, formulaic filmmaking, and commercial imperatives, filmmaker Uli Gaulke embarks on a journey to celebrate the essence of the cinematic experience by exploring the most alternative, "independent" strain of cinema owners and their film communities he can find. 

Employing a stunning use of film narrative, Gaulke, a former projectionist and cinema owner himself, interweaves stories spanning four continents... a traveling Indian tent cinema to a North Korean "film club," a Wyoming woman's dedication to her local cinema group to an open-air cinema in Burkina Faso, the world's poorest country. In this poetic evocation of their lives, he captures a sense of the universal humanity that the fundamental act of "cinema" evokes in each of his characters. As we watch Comrades in Dreams, we remember our own first, childlike introduction to the magical dream world of cinema. 

Outtake bonus features take you to a rare journey into North Korea.

"The Family That Eats Soil" seeks to paint a dystopian portrait, a phantasmagoric reversal of Filipino values. It is an allegory for a people still walking and breathing under an unending nightmare.

A crisp, 75-minute hyper-condensed punk-trash take on Philippine family politics. At times it plays like a de-Pasolinized version of Takashi Miike's Visitor Q, at others like an absurdist experimental bomba flick. Yet it always feels as if cinema is about to end and only no-holds-barred videomaking can save the world. -Film Comment

Two men meet in a train station. One believes he’s Hitler, the other, Christ. Their unusual pairing brings together two of the most controversial figures in human history. Hitler Meets Christ tells the story of two homeless men wandering the crumbling urban wasteland of a city ghetto. Pitted in a tireless debate, the defiant Hitler is incensed by his companion while Christ struggles to detect any trace of a human soul beneath Hitler’s rock-solid layers of bile and hatred.

As the friction escalates, Hitler’s rage becomes all-consuming and Christ is forced to test his own endurance in his search to answer the question: Just how far does God’s love extend? This chilling tale is based on Emmy Award and Golden Globe winner Michael Moriarty's (Law and Order, Pale Rider) controversial play.

“Jump” is the story of the oddest sport in America. For almost 100 years, thousands have gathered in Calaveras County to compete for length. The length of their leaping frog. The sport is “Frog Jumping”. It's not only real, it's been around since 1928.

This bizarre story tracks down the origins of this American oddity, which was given birth by Mark Twain. Frog jockeys discuss the sweat and sacrifice they dedicate to this unique athletic passion. We follow triumph and defeat in what is perhaps the most unique American pastime.
