This short film program includes the following films:

A Word (Mila)

G÷KTEN (From The Sky)

CONTENT WARNING:
A young man, wandering in boredom, discovers a huge metal object outside of the village. He and his cousin are silent observers of this new thing for their life, from the sky. However his own father and even the Hodja of the village have plans for this trend breaker.

Heart

CONTENT WARNING:
Damien is compelled to follow his heart for what he thinks may be one last chance at happiness. Watching out for him are Fiona and Doc who prove that family is not always who you're born to but who's got your back.

Lust Life

CONTENT WARNING:
Caught between what was and what could be, a woman who has lost her lust for life in the world’s most passionate city takes a chance.

The Box

CONTENT WARNING:
Escu works as a box assembler in a factory. From ones side of the room flat card-boards are entering on a mechanized belt and with a tape-dispenser he puts them up into boxes which then are getting out through an opening in the wall on the other side of the room. The conveyor belt is jamming so Escu awaits patiently for his work schedule to be over. But boredom sets in so Escu starts to look at the box left inside... Eventually the conveyor belt starts over and Escu's schedule comes to an end...He needs to put down the box and go home.

Word Games (Mishakei Milim)

CONTENT WARNING:
Tamar enters home with an envelope from the fertility center. Her husband, Aviv, doesn't open it. He knows what's inside. Naama, plans a wedding anniversary for Lior & herself while Lior attends a party of his own. She's not invited.

Strangers

CONTENT WARNING:
Strangers tells the story of a mother, daughter and daughter-in-law, outwardly bound by kinship but inwardly devoid of emotional closeness. When a former relationship is rekindled between the latter two, the household is forced to confront a disconcerting truth.

Jobriath AD

FREE

with The Party in Taylor Mead's Kitchen

Fri, May 11 @ 9:00 pm
Brattle Theater
in person
Called “The True Fairy of Rock & Roll” and “Hype of the Year,” Jobriath’s reign as the f irst openly gay rock star was brief and over by 1975. Now, 35 years later, Jobriath A.D. spotlights his life, music, groundbreaking influence and the new generations of fans slowly re-discovering him. A hymn to the enigmatic, cult glam rocker Jobriath, ‘I am the true fairy of rock’. His brief but fascinating career as an openly gay performer, sometimes called ‘the American Bowie’ is uncovered by this pioneering documentary which has a wealth of archive footage. Adored by Morrissey and The Pet Shop Boys, this is a celebration of a singer-songwriter whose legacy has been all-too-little appreciated; Jayne County, Gloria Jones, Jake Shears, Marc Almond and manager Jerry Brandt are among the interview subjects. Jobriath’s unashamed queerness was just too much for the early 70s. Director Kieran Turner has crafted a rewarding film as a lasting tribute to the creative talent of a major f igure.
