Do no harm.

American Doctor is a vérité documentary following three prominent physicians: Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian friends who couldn’t be more different but are bound by the shared oath to save lives. Dr. Thaer Ahmad is measured and strategic, Dr. Mark Perlmutter is blunt and wears his heart on his sleeve, and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is media-savvy and prolific.

Filmed in unfolding, on-the-ground scenes, the story follows them from a Gazan hospital under siege, to the halls of Congress. Together they fight to keep a promise to their Palestinian colleagues and patients, to continue the struggle where it matters most: the United States.

Certified Frida Favorite Jane Schoenbrun (We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, I Saw The TV Glow) is back with their latest mindf**k, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, starring the supernova duo of Hannah Einbender and Gillian Anderson!

After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original’s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.

Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in 2026, the early reviews for Camp Miasma were passionate, promising a wildly entertaining exploration of the slasher film, erotic pleasure, and everything in between. The words “gonzo” and “pop art” were also being thrown around, which you know we love!

We’re getting lost with a one week run of the buzzy new horror-mystery film It Ends!

A group of recent grads head out on a late night drive for grub, hoping to enjoy one final hangout before their paths diverge. Instead, they accidentally turn onto a never-ending, two-lane hellscape surrounded by untold horrors and cosmic forces beyond their understanding. Cramped together inside a Jeep Cherokee and with the miles stretching infinitely ahead, they face a choice: embrace their new existence or fight to escape it.

Premiering at SXSW all the way in Spring of 2025, It Ends announced an exciting new voice in horror with its young director, Alexander Ullom. If you’re a fan of the new trend of liminal horror films, this is right up your alley.

Our four film retrospective on the films of Hungarian auteur Béla Tarr kicks off with a new restoration of his 2001 masterpiece Werckmeister Harmonies.

One of the major achievements of twenty-first-century cinema thus far, this mesmeric parable of societal collapse is an enigma of transcendent visual, philosophical, and mystical resonance. Adapted from a novel by the celebrated writer and frequent Tarr collaborator László Krasznahorkai, Werckmeister Harmonies unfolds in an unknown era in an unnamed village, where, one day, a mysterious circus, complete with an enormous stuffed whale and a shadowy, demagogue-like figure known as the Prince, arrives and appears to awaken a kind of madness in the citizens, which builds inexorably toward violence and destruction.

In thirty-nine of his signature long takes, engraved in ghostly black and white, Tarr conjures an apocalyptic vision of dreamlike dread and fathomless beauty.
