    A lovely documentary-fable about a man and an injured stork that intertwines mythology and the plight of people who work off a dying land, THE TALE OF SILYAN is a poignant and visually breathtaking story set in the heart of rural Macedonia. Nikola, a farmer grappling with the harsh realities of new government policies, finds himself unable to sell his land or crops. When his family leaves in search of a better life abroad, Nikola takes a job as a landfill attendant, where he encounters the injured white stork Silyan. As he nurses the bird back to health, an unlikely bond forms between man and animal. The result is a deeply moving film that touches on climate change, economic migration, resilience and the quiet power of connection. From the oscar-nominated director of ‘Honeyland' and National Geographic Documentary Films.

    With her life crashing down around her, Linda (Rose Byrne) attempts to navigate her child's mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person, and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist (Conan O'Brien). This fever dream immersion into parental stress connects with thunderous force thanks to Rose Byrne's gutsy star turn and director Mary Bronstein's uncompromising vision. IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU is a raw, honest and haunting portrayal of motherhood spiked with jagged humor. Co-starring Danielle Macdonald, Christian Slater and A$AP Rocky.
