When in 2089 humans become an out-of-date concept, the only way to survive is to integrate into AI constructs. Yet Luc — a rebellious ballerina — would rather die than conform. But when she meets an odd robot Azul, the idea of integrating into a better version of herself suddenly sounds tempting.

An aspiring Hollywood actress working on her first feature--a no-budget horror flick oddly crewed by enthusiastic teenagers--and a cowboy on a mysterious job arrive in the small border town of Del Rio, Texas, each with their own very clear agenda. When the starlet's film director and the cowboy's associate both fail to appear, however, there's nothing to do but wait and see. Dusty Del Rio quickly becomes a strange way station where time seems to stand still and things are not what they seem.
Two women, each named Helen, live out their mirrored lives in the town of Troy, NY. The first Helen is in her 60s, is married, and takes care of a small, extremely lifelike baby doll, which she treats as a living baby. The second Helen is in her 30s, has a successful art career and is four months pregnant. One night, something falls from the sky and explodes over the town. In the aftermath of this event, bizarre and unexplainable things begin to happen.
Only a few hours into his shift, a cab driver in Tripoli, Lebanon finds a lone boy sitting in the backseat of his car. The boy’s peculiar silence forces the cabbie to deal with his most unique passenger yet.
Simple and quiet moments in the life of an elderly Lebanese couple who are following the madness and chaos of the 2011 Egyptian revolution through their TV set.
An aging, Argentine, Serge Gainsbourg wannabe struggles to deal with a career he can't seem to get on track, an affair he doesn't want, and a crime he didn't mean to commit.
A gorgeous and smart film by Daniel Garcia and Rania Attieh, Almost, Brooklyn, gives us an old man doing just what audiences did, crossing the bridge. “I’ve lived in Manhattan all my life, and I’ve never been to Brooklyn. Take me there,” says the old man, armed with an 8mm camera, to the South Asian cabbie. The film, a pet project of the living legend and Iranian new-waver Abbas Kiarostami, ushers the audience through a surreal and very telling sojourn in the magical borough”.
Bruno “Ralphy” Lozano became not only the youngest-ever mayor of Del Rio, Texas, but also the city’s first openly gay elected official. The 30-something Democrat is also an Air Force veteran, a flight attendant, and really good at walking in heels.
In 'Tripoli', Lebanon, where family ties run deep, a forty year old man still living with his elderly mother has given up on the idea of becoming independent, but when suddenly his mother leaves him, he is left with nothing but the company of a city and what it offers. It's a coming of age story of an adult man finding his comfort for the first time, alone, in the city he grew up in.
