Shadowbox

Editor Tanushree Das and cinematographer Saumyananda Sahi make an impressive directing debut with this domestic drama set in the suburbs of Kolkata. Maya works several jobs to keep her family afloat—running a laundry service, housekeeping, even tending chickens—while caring for her teenage son, Debu, and PTSD-afflicted veteran husband, Sundar. Ostracized by her family for her poor marriage and too proud to ask for help, she runs her household with conductor-like control. But the wheels come off the exact and delicate balance Maya maintains after Sundar goes missing and comes under suspicion of murder. Tillotama Shome is brilliant as Maya, her performance revealing the woman’s resilience and determination. Striking sound design reflects Maya’s changing circumstances in this indelible film of grace and economical storytelling.

Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story

No wallflower, literary sensation Edna O’Brien wrote sexually explicit novels that enthralled readers for decades, simultaneously inspiring generations of writers while infuriating power brokers, who banned her books. Ignoring prevailing norms of puritan propriety, O’Brien was renowned for her wild parties, lavish lifestyle, passionate affairs, and most notably, her radiant voice. A trailblazer who bucked convention until her passing in 2024, O’Brien was the ultimate maverick. Her life, both the bitter and the sweet, is captured in this beautifully compiled film. Director Sinéad O’Shea blends diary entries (read by Jessie Buckley) and footage of O’Brien with luminaries such as Paul McCartney, Sean Connery, and Jane Fonda, as well as exclusive late-life interviews with the scribe herself. Frank and funny, this documentary will lift your spirits and return you to O’Brien’s wondrous writing.

Seeds

This deeply intimate portrait captures the struggles and resilience of Black farmers working land that has been in their family for a century. Director Brittany Shyne constructs a poetic vérité documentary that immerses viewers in the daily rhythms of agrarian life in the contemporary American South: children playing, conversations from car windows, and the quiet labor of toiling in the fields. Amid the lyrical and timeless beauty emerges something more ominous, as the film exposes the systemic discrimination that threatens Black land ownership. Showing how Black farmers were historically denied the same government support and resources their white counterparts received, the film underscores the fragility of these generational legacies. Rendered in breathtaking black-and-white cinematography, 'Seeds' is both a celebration of endurance and a meditation on loss, offering an evocative exploration of identity, inheritance, and the ever-changing relationship between people and the land they cherish.

Love & Pop

Newly Restored! July 1997. Tokyo schoolgirl Hiromi and her friends spend the summer going on dates with older men for money. Armed with only a cellphone, Hiromi sets out to date her way to ¥128,000 in order to purchase an expensive topaz ring before the mall closes for the day. Based on the novel by Ryū Murakami, LOVE & POP is the live action feature debut from Hideaki Anno, creator of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION. The film is radical in its stylistic approach to teenage ennui, taking to the seedy streets of Shibuya with handheld digicams, distorted lenses, and a barrage of unconventional camera angles. Criminally underseen for years, LOVE & POP remains a singular portrait of Japanese youth coming of age in the approach to the 21st century. Content Advisory: Contains a scene of sexual violence.

Deaf President Now!

For eight days in March 1988, students of Gallaudet University in Washington, DC, protested the appointment of a hearing president. Demanding truly representative leadership, the students broke the cycle of pity and condescension that defined their experience at the world’s first university for deaf and hard of hearing students. Actor Nyle DiMarco, a Gallaudet graduate, makes his directorial debut with this documentary that memorializes a watershed moment not only in American disability rights activism but also in the history of US student movements. Key players in the protest lead the audience through the events of those heady days and relate how they overcame sexism, ableism, and paternalism to ensure an equitable future for the generations of Gallaudet students that followed. Narrated through American Sign Language and voiceovers, Deaf President Now! relates the involving story of an under-reported triumph.

CAAMFest 2025: Fucktoys

Part of the 2025 CAAMFest series. Annapurna Sriram’s first feature film is a lush 16mm fever dream that reimagines The Fool’s Journey in the Tarot through the story of AP, a sanguine young woman seeking salvation from a curse. AP is promised by not one but multiple psychics that, for a cool $1000 and the sacrifice of a baby lamb, the curse can be lifted. So she makes money in the only place she knows how: the uncouth underbelly of Trashtown. Dark, irreverent, and sexy, AP stumbles upon new characters and absurd situations, each more unhinged than the last. Fucktoys is a campy romp that explores the intersection of intimacy, exploitation, and class in a pre-millennium alternate universe. The film won the Special Jury Award for a Multi-Hyphenate at SXSW.

Caught by the Tides

The preeminent dramatist of China’s rapid 21st-century growth and social transformation, Jia Zhangke has taken his boldest approach to narrative yet with his marvelous 'Caught by the Tides'. Assembled from footage shot over a span of 23 years—a beguiling mix of fiction and documentary, featuring a cascade of images taken from previous movies, unused scenes, and newly shot dramatic sequences—'Caught by the Tides' is a free-flowing work of unspoken longing, carried along more by music than dialogue as it looms around the edges of a poignant love story. The film primarily follows Qiaoqiao, played by Jia's muse Zhao Tao, as she searches for her long-lost lover Bin in an increasingly unrecognizable country. Through Zhao’s delicate expressiveness, the film evokes the passage of time and change, presenting a profound narrative about love and loss.

MEANWHILE

MEANWHILE is a docu-poem in six verses about artists breathing through chaos. In dynamic collaboration, Jacqueline Woodson (text), Meshell Ndegeocello (soundscape), Erika Dilday (support), M. Trevino (structure), and Catherine Gund (direction) combine artists’ expressions with historical and observational footage to unveil a rare cinematic mediation about identity, race, racism, and resistance as they shape our shared breath. Centering breath as a symbol of resilience, MEANWHILE captures raw, unfinished moments—dancers in rehearsal, artists midway through their work—focusing on the act of creation. Rooted in the upheavals of 2020, the film uses breath as its through-line to symbolize collective survival. It invites viewers to witness the process of liberation and be present in the “meanwhile”—a moment of creation, struggle, and hope that transcends fixed identities.
