Chasing Houses (Germany) - NYFW
Documentary film by Justin Time
The road movie documentary follows mobile homes accross the highway, connecting the grandiose vastness of the American West to the transitory nature of the homes and the tenuous life stories of their inhabitants. In fragmented stopovers, the film revolves around questions of home, belonging, wealth and the American Dream. Sketched encounters with a former Las Vegas showgirl, a desert recluse, a Navajo couple and a Tea Party member reveal views of hopes and dead-end prospects, class conflicts and the "moving-on mentality".

Oleg's Choice (France) - MANIFF
https://vimeo.com/212717138
Documentary film by Elena Volochine, James Keogh
Oleg’s Choice is a rare immersion into the private lives and thoughts of Russian combatants who have chosen to fight on the separatists side in Ukraine. Since the summer of 2014, thousands of young Russians poured into the Donbass region. Driven by Russian propaganda, they believed they were fulfilling their patriotic duty. Among the first wave of volunteers were Oleg and Max. Oleg was appointed deputy commander of a battalion, while Max became a soldier. Their illusions were shattered on the night of June 3rd 2015, when a battle went horribly wrong. While Oleg and Max continue to fight on the ground, they must also fight creeping doubts that they have that they ended up on the wrong side of the war. The film follows their introspection over the long term; the confession they have gone adrift, the search for meaning, the shock at realizing they have been misled - that they themselves have made mistakes to the frantic rhythm of a war that crushes bodies and reason. It is the story of the human face of a lie that confuses those involved. In this war rewritten by propaganda, where two parallel realities confront each other, they try in their own different ways to find a raison d’être. This is a human story on the borders of good and evil, where men are confronted by their own choices.

Ophelia (United States) - BIFF
Short film by Jamie Sims
https://vimeo.com/192358060
What happens when grief becomes the third party in a relationship? What exists in the silence of the silent partner when the other descends into self-destruction? OPHELIA attempts to sound that depth by refocussing a classic story of mourning and madness through the lens of Shakespeare’s unsolvable puzzle - the inexplicable Ophelia. With her as witness, we experience Hamlet’s chaos, and perhaps come to know her own turmoil, as well. Can love serve as a life raft for her partner in distress, or will she be pulled under by it?

The Lines (United States) - NYFW

On their mutually solitary journeys, they travel into the isolation of the natural world, in search for a new and deeper truth.

EnGaged - Carolyn Gage On Stage and Off (United States) - BIFF
Documentary film by Jenna Orkin
This short documentary focuses on lesbian playwright Carolyn Gage as she prepares to go on stage for her one-woman play, The Second Coming of Joan of Arc. An intensely personal artist, she discusses her evolution from what was considered in her youth to be the "normal" path for a woman to take, to recovering memories of abuse by her father and coming out as a lesbian. This psychological development dovetailed with her embarking on a career as a writer in a niche which was also, at that time, revolutionary. The segments of her play chosen for inclusion in the documentary highlight previously unexplored aspects of the life of St. Joan - such as evidence that she, too, was a lesbian - and experiences with which, it is apparent, the playwright strongly identifies.
