CONTENT WARNING:
Argentinian director Lucio Castro follows up his fantastic debut film End of the Century (2019) with another story of love that plays with time and space. Consisting of five segments (all told out of order), the film follows art student Adnan across his relationships, exploring spaces where sexual fantasy and reality coexist. The five chapters serve as anecdotal evidence of Adnan’s sexual life with the lack of chronological order giving the film an unreal dreamlike quality that is both sexy and mythic. As with his first film, Castro explores the realities of queer life with delicacy and honesty. Drunken Noodles is a film about love and sex, but also about friendship and loneliness.
This film is presented in English & Spanish with English subtitles.

Silence = Death

CONTENT WARNING:
On May 21, 1990, the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) storms the DC campus of the National Institutes of Health to protest the lack of available drugs to treat AIDS. From his office, Dr. Anthony Fauci watches as the activists march around his building, chanting and shouting for his resignation. Meanwhile, a young gay filmmaker captures the events of the protest while attempting to deliver an important package to Fauci. As tensions rise and the demonstrations threaten to upend the scientists' work, Dr. Fauci is forced to reckon with his power and privilege.
