MINARI
Yearning to own a small patch of land Jacob Yi relocates his Korean-American family, skeptical wife, Monica, and their children, David and Anne, from California to 1980s rural Arkansas, to start afresh and capture the elusive American Dream. However,
new beginnings are always challenging, and to find out what is best for the family, let alone start a 50-acre farm to grow and sell Korean fruits and vegetables, is easier said than done. But, amid sincere promises, cultural unease, fleeting hopes, and the ever-present threat of financial disaster, Jacob is convinced that he has found their own slice of Eden in the rich, dark soil of Arkansas. Can grandma Soon-ja's humble but resilient minari (meaning village of beautiful fields) help the Yi family figure out their place in the world? Golden Globes - Winner Best Motion Picture - Foreign Language; Movie Of The Year - AFI Awards; Black Film Critics Circle - Best Original Screenplay and Supporting Actresss - Yuh-jung You; National Board Of Review - Best Original Screenplay, Top 10 Films and Best Supporting Actress; New York Film Critics - Best Film, Best Foreign Language Film, Top Ten Films & Best Supporting Actress; and over 65 awards internationally.

RAMS
In remote Western Australia, two estranged brothers, Colin (Sam Neill) and Les (Michael Caton), are at war. Raising separate flocks of sheep descended from their family's prized bloodline, the two men work side by side yet are worlds apart. When Les's prize ram is diagnosed with a rare and lethal illness, authorities order a purge of every sheep in the valley. While Colin attempts to stealthily outwit the powers that be, Les opts for angry defiance. But can the warring brothers set aside their differences and have a chance to reunite their family, save their herd, and bring their community back together? A re-imagining of the acclaimed 2015 Icelandic film Hrútar by Last Cab To Darwin director Jeremy Sims.

PORT AUTHORITY
After getting kicked out of his home in central Pennsylvania, Paul (Fionn Whitehead) arrives to NYC's dizzying central station with nowhere to go. A momentary encounter with Wye (Leyna Bloom), a trans woman of color, leads him to seek her out. Transfixed by her beauty and confidence, a love soon blossoms. But as the two learn more about each other, Paul's false narratives begin to surface and the double life he lives must be reconciled. Executive Produced by Martin Scorcese and it has the official "Made In NY" designation. It is reminiscent of a contemporary Mean Streets, with a truly relevant and current-day twist. Leya Bloom: In 2017, Bloom became the first openly trans woman of color to appear in Vogue India. She then went on to be the first trans woman of color to lead a feature film at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival with her movie Port Authority. She recently wrapped filming the feature Asking For It opposite Kiersey Clemons and Ezra Miller, and she will next be seen in the third and final season of FX’s critically acclaimed series Pose. Fionn Whitehead was a breakout star in Dunkirk and stars in the much-anticipated Voyagers.
