The Paper Angel

Director: Darren Hunt
Runtime: 53 minutes

Forty year old Chris Bell is in a jam. Having taken over the family used car lot after his dad’s passing, he’s squandered most of the meager profits on playing poker at a local storage unit where he’s been losing more than winning. Now he owes the table owner Barry 10k. His old boss, Dan Money, mogul of used car avenue, also wants to buy him out. Chris needs 250k to keep the greedy Money away. Acting on a whim, Bell takes a donation angel off a Xmas tree hoping that a kind gesture for a stranger might turn the tables on his luck. But he finds out the hard way that luck is sometimes the worst thing to happen.

Pieces of Us

Pieces of Us

Director: Cheryl Allison
Runtime: 92 minutes

Pieces of Us is an intimate look at the personal journeys of LGBTQ+ hate crime survivors who, by choosing to take their recovery public, inspire the survivor in all of us. The film juxtaposes the inspirational stories of recovery each of the film’s subjects (including transgender activist and Stonewall Riots survivor Victoria Cruz, and Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil of India) have experienced with the powerful connections their public actions have produced. Their stories take us to New York City, Denver and India to witness how intersectionality and speaking your truth can build a support community and even spark global change. The film explores the resistance of these unlikely heroes and survivors, people who didn’t choose to have their rights violated and their lives changed forever, but from those experiences chose to stand against hate and give voice to the voiceless.

Women on Both Sides of the Camera

Women on Both Sides of the Camera

Director: Mahshad Afshar
Runtime: 95 minutes

Benefiting from a wide range of rare archive materials, this feature-length documentary focuses on one century of the representation of women in Iranian cinema. Looking at the formation of the Iranian film industry and its relationship with socio-political events, the film narrates the challenges of women who chose this controversial and unorthodox career in Iran’s patriarchal society and the consequences that they were faced as a result of their choice. It also highlights the integral role that female filmmakers have played in Iranian cinema to tell women’s stories, to challenge the tradition, sharia law, and ultimately to overcome the suppression of female authority on screen.
