67 BOMBS TO ENID
Between 1946 and 1958, the United States conducted 67 known nuclear weapons tests on Bikini and Enewetak Atolls in the Marshall Islands, at the time the largest nuclear detonations in human history. Decades later, thousands of Marshallese survivors and their descendants now call the United States home, and one of the largest such communities has settled on the plains of Enid, Oklahoma, thousands of miles from the islands they once knew. Executive produced by Academy Award winning documentarian Errol Morris, 67 Bombs to Enid is an intimate, character driven documentary that weaves together first-hand accounts of the detonations with testimony from the generation born after, tracing displacement, generational trauma, and a community's insistence on joy and cultural pride in one of the unlikeliest of American towns.

Director Patrick Bresnan spent a year embedded at New College of Florida, tracking what happened after Governor Ron DeSantis appointed a slate of new trustees, including Christopher Rufo, in 2023 with an explicit mandate to remake the small liberal arts school. Built from hundreds of hours of footage, much of it shot by the students themselves on iPhones Bresnan handed out, the film follows the dismantling of the college's gender studies program, a wave of faculty departures, and the students who kept showing up anyway: tending campus gardens, running the student newspaper, organizing an alternative graduation when the official one no longer felt like theirs.

HOPE
A tiger attack. That's all it's supposed to be. In the remote village of Hope Harbor, near the fortified edge of the Korean DMZ, police chief Bum-seok (Hwang Jung-min) and rookie officer Sung-ae (Hoyeon) are called out to investigate dead cattle and a suspected predator on the loose. Deep in the surrounding forest, a local hunting party led by Sung-ki (Zo In-sung) sets out to track the creature down, only to realize they're the ones being hunted. What starts as a routine emergency spirals fast, and what the town is really facing has nothing to do with any animal anyone has ever seen before.

If I Go Will They Miss Me
In the Watts neighborhood of South Los Angeles, twelve year old Lil Ant sees the world, and his father, the way all children should: full of myth, wonder, and unwavering belief. As Lil Ant tries to reconnect with his distant father Big Ant following his incarceration, he begins sensing mysterious visions, spectral figures of other boys drifting through his neighborhood, airplanes overhead that feel like a promise of escape, Greek gods pulled from his schoolbooks who somehow explain the men in his life better than words can. What emerges is a story less about answers and more about the grace a child extends to the people he loves, even when love alone can't fix what's broken.

The Uncle's Request
In New York City, an aging Cuban exile recognizes the face of a stranger: the government official responsible for killing his brother back in Cuba decades earlier, the same brother who was his young grandnephew's grandfather. Unable to confront the man himself, he turns to that grandnephew with one impossible request, to find justice for a death the family was never allowed to properly mourn. As the search unfolds, the film follows how a single act of violence in Cuba's past continues to shape a Cuban American family in the present, pulling a young man raised far from that history into a reckoning he never asked for.
