The Four Times
The 2011 film LE QUATTRO VOLTE by MICHAELANGELO FRAMMARTINO is a kind of lyrical ode to life in a tiny, rural Italian village.
The trailer for the mostly wordless film, adds on a voice-over that serves as a kind of entry point to the poetic and non-narrative style to expect in the film.

BOMBAY BEACH
A new film by ALMA HAR'EL, who got her start making music videos for the band BEIRUT, follows a handful of people in a decaying small town in California on the Salton Sea.
The strange lifestyles of an isolated community are captured with vision and empathy, and dedicated to the simple poetry that emerges from all pursuits. Featuring plenty of real talk, real emotions, and real dancing (music by BEIRUT).
One the best films of 2011, documentary or otherwise.

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
Nobody is making films like Thai filmmaker APICHATPONG WEERASETHAKUL. The trailer for his new film UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES is a glimpse into the world of a filmmaker who deftfully handles the metaphysical and the impermanent with a Buddhist's grace and humor.

Stay the Same Never Change
Video artist LAUREL NAKADATE developed this feature-length project from short video pieces she was writing. At the New York premier, as part of the NEW DIRECTORS NEW FILMS series, she described that the film really came together after she began collaborating with OWEN ASHWORTH, of the one-man band CASIOTONE FOR THE PAINFULLY ALONE, who provides the soundtrack.
Both artists concern themselves with teen drama of the realist kind, but Ms. NAKADATE's work has been considerably more transgressive. See more about her artwork below:
