10:30 PM Q&A with filmmaker Zia Anger | 10:45 PM After party sponsored by Ketel One Vodka
Directed by Zia Anger | US | 100 min
Following the success of Anger’s 2019 multimedia performance of the same name, My First Film marks a return to the ground zero of Anger’s artistic development: her lost film, Always All Ways, Anne Marie, which she worked on from 2010 to 2012. In a departure from the performance’s screen-shared visuals and typed-out inner monologue, Anger’s feature debut is a dramatization of that disastrous shoot and its untold truths; an auto fictional nesting doll. Nearly 15 years later, Vita (Odessa Young), recounts making her first feature – a semi-autobiographical film about a young woman who gets pregnant and decides to leave home, starring her friend Dina (Devon Ross). Being an enthusiastic but inexperienced filmmaker, the shoot is chaotic, and Vita’s ego-tripping methods cause a near-death accident. As Vita’s “first film” falls apart, Anger stages a lyrical self-critique that probes the nature of artistic truth and personal mythmaking, all while upending the strictures of traditional memoir.

Directed by Tony Gerber & Jesse Moss | US | 94 min
War Game sweeps audiences into an elaborate future-set simulation that dramatically escalates the threat posed by the January 6, 2021 insurrection. The film follows a bipartisan group of US defense, intelligence, and elected policymakers spanning five presidential administrations as they participate in an unscripted role-play exercise. Portraying a fictional President of the United States and his advisors, they confront a political coup backed by rogue members of the US military in the wake of a contested 2024 presidential election. Like actors in a thriller, but with profound real-world stakes, the players have only six hours to save American democracy.
Directed by Khaled Jarrar | Palestine, UAE, Lebanon | 72 min
Infiltrators is a visceral “road movie” that chronicles the daily travails of Palestinians of all backgrounds as they seek routes through, under, around, and over a bewildering matrix of barriers.
Following this high stakes “game” of cat and mouse with a handheld video camera, Khaled Jarrarʼs debut documentary was the standout success at the 2012 Dubai International Film Festival, winning the Muhr Arab Documentary Prize, the Special Jury Prize, and the International Critics Prize.

As the city of Chengdu changes, the future of beloved club Funky Town is unclear. For a vibrant group of DJs, drag performers, lovers, ravers, and skaters this is a sanctuary for underground partying and allows them to thrive after the sun sets. It’s the one place that accepts them for who they really are, whilst they run away from their problems during the day.With construction cranes looming from an encroaching metro station, the friends are forced to face what brought them to the party in the first place and make the most of their remaining time there. The Last Year of Darkness is a coming-of-age film that celebrates the ephemerality of youth—from love to loss, from throwing up to growing up.
