Synopsis: From award-winning director Amos Gitai (Kadosh) and starring the legendary Irène Jacob (Three Colors: Red), Shikunis a thought-provoking and shocking drama. A diverse cross-section of Israeli society converges in a single multi-use building. As people of different languages, origins, and generations come together in highly theatrical encounters, they grapple with the current state of affairs. In a poignant metaphor inspired from Eugene Ionesco’s famous play Rhinoceros, some begin to turn into rhinoceroses, while others resist.

Street Date: 8/05/25 (DVD Only)
Synopsis: Best friends since childhood, Ben and Jordan are two young men living in a rapidly changing Austin, where they navigate low-paying jobs, fraught relationships, and their own emotionally codependent friendship. When they suddenly lose their apartment, they come up with a last-ditch plan to spend the rest of the year “rent free”. They set out on a tragicomic journey across the couches, floors and guest rooms of their friends while desperately trying to save up enough money to leave behind a city they no longer recognize and flee for the promised land of New York City. Told with a satirical bite and an ensemble cast, “Rent Free” is a high-anxiety comedy about a generation on the edge, as well as a poignant exploration of queer male friendship and a city in flux.
Street Date: 8/12/25 (DVD Only)
