Barry Jenkins’s captivating debut feature, Medicine for Melancholy, is a lo-fi romance that unfolds against the backdrop of a rapidly gentrifying San Francisco. There, a one-night stand between two young bohemians, Micah (Wyatt Cenac) and Jo’ (Tracey Heggins), spins off into a woozy daylong affair marked by moments of tenderness, friction, joy, and intellectual sparring as they explore their relationships to each other, the city, and their own Blackness. Shooting on desaturated video, Jenkins crafts an intimate exploration of alienation and connection graced with the evocative visual palette and empathetic emotional charge that have come to define his work.

Wayne Wang’s follow-up to his watershed indie Chan Is Missing is a family portrait that gracefully combines the director’s signature gentle humanism and eye for poignant detail. Offering another fresh perspective on San Francisco’s Chinese American community, Wang takes a bittersweet look at the generational pas de deux between an aging immigrant widow and her devoted daughter, torn between filial duty and her own desires. Soulfully performed by an ensemble including real-life mother and daughter Kim and Laureen Chew and Victor Wong, the Yasujiro Ozu–inspired Dim Sum: A Little Bit of Heart is as lovingly made as the home-cooked cuisine it celebrates.

An epic journey of friendship and self-discovery set in the Italian Alps, The Eight Mountains is a cinematic experience as intimate as it is monumental. Adapting an award-winning novel by Paolo Cognetti, Felix van Groeningen, and Charlotte Vandermeersch portray, through observant detail and stunning landscape photography, the profound relationship between Pietro and Bruno, who first meet as children in an Alpine village. Years later, the estranged friends reunite, after the passing of Pietro's father, to realize his dream of rebuilding a ruined cabin on a mountain slope. This emotional project, and their subsequent explorations of the mountains, create a strong bond between the two individual dreams, and the demands of society, ultimately driving them to pursue irrevocably divergent paths.

Né en 1925 dans le Nebraska, Malcolm X est placé dans différentes familles et obligé de fréquenter des écoles blanches après l'assassinat de son père et l'internement de sa mère. Doué, il est pourtant exclu de l'université alors réservée aux Blancs et sombre dans la délinquance. Emprisonné, il étudie le droit et rencontre l'Islam. Dès sa sortie, il se met au service d'un leader noir musulman et ses convictions, son intelligence et ses dons d'orateur le font rapidement remarquer. Il devient la figure charismatique du mouvement musulman noir, idolâtré par les uns et haï par les autres, et lutte toute sa vie pour la liberté et la dignité de ses frères de couleur jusqu'à son assassinat en 1965. Du très grand cinéma, puissant et inspiré.
