    In the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, the Indigenous forest guardians stand at the frontlines of the fight to protect their ancestral lands from relentless invasions and deforestation. As more and more people illegally invade their lands each year, devastating centuries-old forests for resources and fast profits, these small groups of guardians risk everything to protect their forest and way of life. Now, as the health of the entire Amazon teeters at the edge, will Brazil and the world take notice? WE ARE GUARDIANS offers an intimate portrayal of the lives ensnared within this crisis, bringing a multitude of voices from this complex landscape to the forefront. Indigenous forest guardian Marçal Guajajara and Indigenous leader Puyr Tembé stand at the frontlines of this fight, risking everything to protect their ancestral lands and way of life from relentless invasions and deforestation. To them, the Amazon is not just home—it is life itself, worth every sacrifice to ensure its survival for future generations.

SISTER MIDNIGHT

Karan Kandhari

  • 110 minutes
  • 2025
  • Hindi with English subtitles
  • June 15

    A newly arranged marriage sees an oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are alone, awkward and together. Cranky Uma (Bollywood icon Radhika Apte) does her best to cope with the heat, her complete lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbors and her bumbling spouse until one night she discovers strange new feral cravings. Boisterous and heady, SISTER MIDNIGHT is a genre-exploding dark comedy that pulses with a dynamic, kinetic thrum as Apte’s electric presence bursts off the screen in every single scene. It's very very sharp, very, funny, and very surprising. Featuring an eclectic soundtrack (featuring songs from The Band, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Holly, the Stooges and more) and singular visual aesthetic, the film world-premiered in Cannes’ Directors Fortnight and won the award for Best Film in the Next Wave section at Fantastic Fest.

    Sunday, June 15 --- 7pm

FRIENDSHIP

Andrew DeYoung

  • 100 minutes
  • 2025
  • English
  • June 20 - 22

    Suburban dad Craig (Tim Robinson) falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor (Paul Rudd), as Craig's attempts to make an adult male friend threaten to ruin both of their lives. Robinson expands his exquisitely painful cringe comedy style to feature length with seamless results in FRIENDSHIP, a toxic bromance that'll make audiences laugh and wince in equal measure. A sly rapscallion of a film, part edgy suburban noir, part situation tragedy, part existential comedy, a meditation on loneliness and alienation in our times that is somehow the funniest film of the year.
