Lurker

Directed by: Alex Russell
Studio: MUBI

A screw-turning psychological thriller made for the moment, LURKER is the razor-sharp directorial debut from The Bear and Beef writer-producer Alex Russell. When twenty-something Los Angeles retail clerk and loner Matthew (Théodore Pellerin) encounters rising pop star Oliver (Saltburn’s Archie Madekwe), he takes the opportunity to edge his way into the in-crowd. But staying there isn’t easy. With an entire entourage (Bottoms’ Havana Rose Liu, Abbott Elementary’s Zack Fox, Y2K’s Daniel Zolghadri, mid90s’ Sunny Suljic) vying for attention, Matthew must prove himself to Oliver as more than just a follower. As their bond grows strained and mainstream fame appears within reach, access and proximity become a matter of life and death. Online fixation meets reality in this parasocial, paranoid cat-and-mouse film driven by star-making performances. With an incisive view to contemporary culture and a brilliant score from Kenny Beats (known for his work with Vince Staples), LURKER presents an exhilarating take on the music industry, the blurred line between friend and fan, and our universal search for validation.

Lilly Lives Alone

Directed by: Martin Melnick
Studio: Dark Sky Films

Ten years ago, Lilly (Shannon Beeby) suffered the most painful tragedy that could befall any mother: the sudden death of her young daughter. Over the last decade, the trauma of losing her child has collided with dark memories of a similarly painful childhood of her own, turning her current life into a mess of psychological torment and the occasional meaningless hookup, the latter meant to fill the giant hole in her heart. Her latest hookup, Jed (Ryan Jonze), enters Lilly’s world at a particularly trying time, with the 10-year anniversary of her daughter’s death triggering a downward spiral of alcohol and pills. There are also the hallucinations she can’t shake, which could stem from her deteriorating mental state but may also be coming from something much more dangerous, something supernatural. As Lilly struggles to cope with everything, the ghosts of her past strengthen their grip, leading to unspeakable horrors.

The Boy and the Beast
(2016 Re-Release)

Directed by: Mamoru Hosoda
Studio: Funimation

In the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian war Kharkiv, the country’s second largest city, was turned into a warzone. On one side of the battlefield was the invading Russian army, on the other side, the defending Ukrainians, and caught in between them, was a zoo called Feldman Ecopark. More than just a zoo, Feldman Ecopark was an animal sanctuary that offered countless therapy programs to everyone from soldiers with PTSD to children with special needs. As the war ravaged on, and the shelling increased, it was clear that the bravery of the staff wouldn’t be enough to save the animals trapped inside. With the help of four young volunteers, these zookeepers would undertake a seemingly impossible mission — they would risk life and limb to evacuate over 5,000 animals, including scores of dangerous predators, and deliver them to safety. Drawing from first-hand footage, Award-winning filmmaker Joshua Zeman’s Checkpoint Zoo showcases a story of human compassion, bravery, and sacrifice during Ukraine’s darkest hours. shining a light on the best of humanity when it is all too easy to focus on the worst.
