Israeli Woman
El introvertido Darryl Deever (William Hurt) consigue un empleo de conserje en un bloque de edificios. Muy aficionado al vídeo, tiene por costumbre grabar las noticias de televisión en las que aparece Tony Sokolow (Sigourney Weaver), una bella reportera por la que siente una atracción irresistible. Cuando en el edificio donde trabaja es asesinado un individuo de nacionalidad vietnamita, ella acude a cubrir la noticia, y, para despertar su interés, Darrill le asegura que él lo ha visto todo, lo que tendrá pésimas consecuencias y pondrá en peligro el curso de la investigación.
Jan Stennis
A dramatic feature from Cine Manifest, Over-Under, Sideways-Down explores the politics of everyday life in America. The film centers on a working-class couple, Roy and Jan Stennis (played by Robert Viharo and Sharon Goldman), who live, with their two children, in a cramped tract home. An assembly line worker in a steel plant, Roy entertains the escapist fantasy of moving from the local semi-pro baseball team for which he plays third base, to the big leagues. "It's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time," he figures. However, when Roy simultaneously loses his job (by being at the right place at the right time - coming to the defense of a black co-worker and thus being branded a trouble-maker) and his one chance to impress an interested baseball scout, his life begins to unravel. The strains on his marriage increase, intensified by Jan's decision to take a job, and Roy begins to isolate himself both from his family and his fellow workers.
