Opening Night SUBLET DIRECTOR: EYTAN FOX • 2020 ISRAEL, USA • 90 MINUTES SUGGESTED SCREENING TIME Friday, October 9th @ 7:00PM FILM AVAILABLE TO VIEW Friday, October 9th - Monday, October 12th Michael (John Benjamin Hickey), a New York Times travel writer, visits Tel Aviv to research his latest article, get some space from his relationship, and recharge his batteries amid the thriving gay scene. Intending to sublet an apartment in Israel’s most populous city, he spontaneously agrees to share the modest one-bedroom space when it becomes clear that handsome tenant Tomer (Niv Nissim) has nowhere else to go. The age gap between the reserved Michael and the free-spirited Tomer lends the film a subtle humor and charm that grows as the pair get to know one another. As Michael shares his wisdom and soaks up the youthful energy that surrounds them, his guard begins to drop and he finds the inspiration to embrace his life again. Structured around the passing days of his trip, the film has a walk-and-talk quality reminiscent of BEFORE SUNRISE, giving the viewer snapshots of the hedonistic vibe of the city. Eytan Fox has entertained us for three decades with gems like YOSSI & JAGGER and THE BUBBLE, and now gifts us this significantly more personal film, a heartfelt and heartwarming ode to gay men and to aging. — Lucy Mukerjee SPONSORED BY: Different Unique Beautiful branding web development marketing brandingalbuquerque.com Centerpiece Shiva BABY Director: EMMA SELIgMAN • 2020 USA • 77 MINUTES SUGGESTED SCREENING TIME Tuesday, October 13 @ 9:00PM FILM AVAILABLE TO VIEW Tuesday, October 13th - Friday, October 16th Family obligations can be stressful even under the best of circumstances. But for Danielle, a sexually-liberated, bisexual post-grad reluctantly dragged to a Jewish funeral service by her parents, the persistent questions about her weight, love life, and career goals can make the dead seem like they’re getting off easy. Also, who was it that died again? Confronted with the third degree from a cavalcade of characters—all while avoiding her overachieving, law student ex-girlfriend who happens to be lingering around the buffet table—Danielle finds that she is unable to escape her past, present, or future. When her current beau shows up, what was once merely awkward turns into a hilarious exploit in truth avoidance, one-uppance, and neuroses of the highest order. Writer-director Emma Seligman expands her 2018 short into a sharp, perfectly-paced, universal take on conflicting versions of self and how hard it is to live up to anyone’s expectations… even your own. This hysterical feature debut also stars Dianna Agron (GLEE), Jackie Hoffman (FEUD), and Fred Melamed (LADY DYNAMITE). — Angelique Smith AWARDS/ACCOLADES • GrAnD Jury AwArD, OutStAnDinG ScreenwritinG in A u.S.
