Misty Green
Misty (Eleazar) is on the verge of a comeback, if only she could curb her worst habits. In a narcotic-fueled mania, she went from winning an Emmy to losing a big project helmed by ace director Jordan (Rock). Jordan, however, is ready to give Misty another chance with his forthcoming remake of Dreamgirls. It’s a coveted opportunity, but Misty has competing concerns, such as her looming eviction and her brother (Kaluuya), navigating life with bipolar disorder, who gets into serious trouble. As pressure to procure funds mounts, Misty finds herself considering an offer by her former flame (Driver) that’s simultaneously heinous and lucrative beyond her wildest dreams. Writer/Director Chris Rock
Cast: Rosalind Eleazar, Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick, Topher Grace, and Chris Rock.

Bitter Christmas
(Amarga Navidad)
Bitter Christmas tells two alternating stories, one starring Elsa, an advertising director, in 2004, during a long weekend in December. The second takes place in 2026 and stars Raúl, a screenwriter and director who is writing a script that we soon discover is the story of Elsa, her boyfriend Bonifacio, and her friends Patricia and Natalia. Mixed with fiction, Elsa is, in a way, Raúl’s alter ego, who, like him, resorts to autofiction as a solution to a long period of creative drought. He looks inside himself, and he can’t help but also look at the people who make up his most intimate universe: his partner and his assistant. The film narrates the close relationship between reality and fiction, between inspiration and life, exploring the limits of autofiction and stories within stories. Written & Directed by: Pedro Almodóvar
Darlene Love: I Know Where I’ve Been
The film covers Love’s six-decade career, tracing her journey from a musical prodigy to a cultural icon, while exploring the civil rights movement and racial barriers she navigated. It also features appearances and insights from legendary artists like Cher and Bruce Springsteen Documentary Directed by Barry Avrich
