Edge Of The Cliff - This is a haunting portrait of a woman pushed to her breaking point after sudden job loss, cultural tension, and the quiet unraveling of her marriage. When Susana, a high-powered executive, is laid off, she and her out-of-work writer husband, Simon, are forced to confront the unspoken weight of expectations — from their families, their cultures, and themselves. As their coping mechanisms pull them in opposite directions, cracks begin to form in their once-solid bond. What follows is a raw, intimate unraveling. Told through restrained performances and evocative visuals, the film mirrors a mind on the edge — with muted tones, melancholic score, and deliberate pacing that hold space for reflection, empathy, and truth. This is not a film that shouts. It lingers. And in a time when so many feel unseen, its message — you are not alone — resonates more than ever.

Directed by Julia Schnarr, Mikela Picard, Haley Ruccio (00:16:29) New Jersey Premiere
Marianne and the Rebels - This is the untold, slightly exaggerated, and totally entertaining story of how Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels became the original dynamic duo of revolution. Think less “serious manifesto writing” and more “two guys, one gale, one radical idea, and a lot of alcohol.” Set in 1848 Europe, Karl and Friedrich team up to write the Manifesto—but not without plenty of heated debates, love triangle, maybe two.., and moments of sheer panic as they try to spark a revolution. It’s the ultimate political buddy comedy where capitalism trembles and bromance blooms! Directed by Pierre - Guy (00:11:32) US Premiere
Your Last Best: A Memphis Rox Story - Hope comes to a South Memphis neighborhood that has struggled with basic resources.
