US Premiere
Sixteen-year-old tomboy Choo Xin Yu seems like a misfit when she joins a highly competitive, elite all-girls school in Singapore. But she quickly befriends three others who share her rebellious nature. While the girls struggle to fit in, they pledge loyalty to each other and vow to start a gang as a form of resistance. When their rebellious acts — recorded by the girls on a camcorder — are discovered by their teacher, their lives are upended. What keeps haunting Choo may be more than just the ghost she suspects is in her room.

Luca Guadagnino's "Queer" is adapted from a semi-autobiographical novel by outlaw beat writer William S Burroughs, as is Naked Lunch, which director David Cronenberg describes as the story of a closeted man trying to cure himself of his homosexuality.
Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee and his dead-eyed wife, Joan, like to get high on Bill’s pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway, Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work – which he doesn’t remember writing.

Director Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian
Bolstered by pre-show performers, post-screening panels, and limited-edition merchandise, Doppelgängers³’s theatrical “tour stops” are taking a cue from how indie musicians bring exciting experiences, beyond their art, and to audiences.
An experimental documentary that draws on the experience of diasporas to challenge the commercialisation of the moon. Through encounters with doppelgängers and meetings with scientists, visionaries, and cultural inventors, Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian and her doppelgängers offer an experimental vision and template for a future diaspora beyond Earth. The film culminates in an analog space mission in a deep cave in Spain in which we see Ben Hayoun-Stépanian and her doppelgängers experiencing a moon utopia. But things do not go according to plan.
