SUMMARY:Those Who Whistle After Dark
DESCRIPTION:In Pinar Yorgancıoğlu’s atmospheric and darkly humorous tale\, recently retired Melih struggles to find purpose in his post-career life. He jostles for his family’s attention while slowly preparing his late sister’s property for rent. Meanwhile\, his wife and daughter pursue risky gambits in the hope of quick fortune\, putting the household at risk and overlooking Melih’s mounting despondency. Into this fragile domestic world drift figures that may be ghosts—or blurred memories. Their unexpected appearance offers Melih a distraction\, prompting him to conduct scientific experiments that draw him further from his wife and daughter\, as both face increasing peril. Full of ironic humor and sly observations\, Those Who Whistle After Dark revels in the contradictions of family life. Brimming with warmth\, wit\, and unexpected charm\, it weaves intimate dynamics with surreal touches\, creating a story that is delightfully imaginative. —Jessie Fairbanks

SUMMARY:Filipiñana
DESCRIPTION:Isabel is a newly hired ball girl at a pristine golf course on Manila’s outskirts. An Ilokana from rural northern Philippines\, she immediately feels out of place among the high-status guests. Motivated by the sweltering heat and her insatiable curiosity\, Isabel slips away from her duties on the driving range. Over a languid afternoon\, Isabel discovers the locations of blessed AC units\, indulges in a finger of frosting from the buffet\, and observes the peculiar routines of wealthy patrons. As her boldness grows\, so do her unsettling discoveries\, revealing insidious secrets lurking beneath the resort’s lavish surface. Filipiñana heralds the arrival of a striking new voice in filmmaking. Director Rafael Manuel’s first feature swings with visual splendor\, wielding its imagery to deliver sharp\, scintillating commentary on capitalism and corruption—even in the world’s most polished corners. —Jordan Klein

SUMMARY:Rose of Nevada
DESCRIPTION:George MacKay (1917) and Callum Turner (Masters of Air) star in this eerie drama as Cornish villagers who go to sea on the titular fishing vessel that recently reappeared in the harbor 30 years after vanishing along with its crew. The two men return with a huge catch and to a world that is both familiar and utterly changed—so much so that they barely recognize themselves. MacKay is especially effective as a distressed husband and father left untethered by his new reality in writer/director Mark Jenkin’s enigmatic tale. Jenkin acts as cinematographer\, editor\, composer\, and sound designer\, giving him complete control of his visual and aural landscape in this striking 16mm feature. The result is extraordinary with vivid imagery and a resonant soundscape that underlines the characters’ discombobulation in a film that invites us into the throbbing heart of an indelible mystery. —Pam Grady

SUMMARY:Ungrateful Beings
DESCRIPTION:David brings his two children on a summer vacation to the Croatian coast in hopes that the rustic camping and sparkling Adriatic Sea will bring his family closer together in the wake of his recent separation from the kids’ mother. Seventeen-year-old Klara struggles with anorexia\, the deep toll exacted on her body and mind more apparent to her worried father with each passing day. So\, when a summer romance with a local boy motivates her to start eating again\, David encourages the budding relationship until a shocking incident forces the couple’s separation. David is full of good intentions as he scrambles to help his daughter regain her health\, but circumstances begin to rapidly spiral out of control. Full of pitch-black humor and playfully devious turns\, Ungrateful Beings is a bold and unexpected refresh of the family vacation drama. —Amber Love
