The exciting and most popular festival in Manhattan runs thru April 29th presenting a selection of extraordinary new indie films displaying contemporary issues through distinguished personal journeys. Here they are.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SURVIVING THE JUNGLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

In directors Robert Machoian and Rodrigo Ojeda-Beck’s fascinating WHEN SHE RUNS, a woman is completely taken by her ambition to win a running contest, making tremendous sacrifices, which includes becoming an estranged figure for her family. Influenced by Neo-realism, it’s an instant American classic. From England, JELLYFISH depicts adolescence in raw manners, as a teen struggles to maintain her siblings while dealing with her mentally disturbed mother. Pushed by abusive events she turns to be a talented comedian, but first-time director James Gardner builds up obstacles to unchain her courage conceiving a masterpiece. The lyrical modern fable WE THE ANIMALS explores a poor family’s struggles seen through the experiences of three young brothers, including the youngest one who’s initiating his sexuality. Director Jeremiah Zagar crafted a magically observational experience on family love.<\/p>\n

EXPLORING SEXUAL FREEDOM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz continues to prove her originality as a lesbian teen forced to go on a religious-ruled rehab in director Desiree Akhavan’s provocative dramedy THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST. There, she meets other “sick” teens, painting an accurate portrait of 90’s America seen through revolutionary minds. The Canadian comedy SLUT IN A GOOD WAY follows a heartbroken girl who becomes seduced by her schoolmates’ ideas, and decides to sleep with all the boys in search of a replacement for her heart. Director Sophie Lorain created a feminine liberation statement, smart and delicately erotic. Accomplished filmmaker Miguel Arteta is back with the sexually-charged DUCK BUTTER, an inclusive look at the obsessive relationship of two young women seeking different ambitions while exploring mutual lust. Alia Shawcat and Laia Costa are amazingly mature and sexy as the unusual romantic pair.<\/p>\n

VENTURING ARTISTIC EGOS<\/strong><\/p>\n

A professional con managed to cheat on several soccer leagues, signing contracts but never able to play the ball. The curious story is the plot of the amazing doc KAISER, collecting testimonies from Brazilian soccer celebrities on the most infamous case, while brilliantly re-constructing the events. NICO, 1988 follows the former Velvet Underground singer as she tours Europe, reflecting on politics, behavior, trends and her mysterious relationship with her son. Actress Trine Dyrholm gives a tour-de-force performance as the compulsive and beloved rocker. The inspirational comedy SMUGGLING HENDRIX comments on various humanitarian\/immigration issues, as a failed musician is forced to cross the border to rescue his lost dog, while providing great laughs with the absurd bureaucracy seen on its borders.<\/p>\n
