In a near-future Boston, an amateur stand up comedian with memory problems struggles to maintain his sobriety as he falls for his transgender best friend. After she rejects his affection, he hears of a company that can give him another chance with her. Introducing NuYou: a business that creates human clones for the modern day consumer.

In his short, enigmatic life, Andy Kaufman entertained and transfixed audiences while simultaneously driving them away. His work dissolved the boundaries separating reality from fiction, and his commitment to performance, both on stage and off, rendered any distinctions between his characters and his real life useless. Was he a comic, an affable sit-com star, a washed-up lounge singer, a bus boy, a professional wrestler, a hoaxer, a provocateur or a pest? Nearly 40 years after his supposed death, one question still puzzles fans and haters alike: “was that for real?” Thank You Very Much is the definitive documentary look at how a shy, oddball kid from Long Island, New York, became the most polarizing performance artist of the 20th century.

El frenesí de su día a día –ciclo imparable de apaños: conseguir dónde dormir, qué comer y cómo obtener el chute de rigor– entrecruzado con la obsesiva relación de Harley con el indiferente y también yonqui Ilya (Caleb Landry Jones).

John's Gone is a fever dream comedy about John's World soon after his mother passes away. He sells things online, cheats off dollar stores, needs friends but settles for strangers, has roaches, and is prematurely thrust into the cruel wasteland that is the world around him. He is surrounded by people who don't speak his language, junk he piles up in his apartment filled with cultural beacons he ignores with idea of a potential sale. He is punch drunk (not with love) but something far more strange and lost. One can only say John's Gone. Written by Josh and Benny Safdie

Lenny tiene 34 años, es proyeccionista en un cine y tiene la custodia de sus dos hijos únicamente dos semanas al año. A pesar de ser un padre rabiosamente divertido para un niño, constituye un manual viviente de todo lo que un progenitor nunca debería hacer. 'Go get some Rosemary' le sigue durante estas dos semanas, en las que incurre en una larga serie de irresponsabilidades en absoluto malintencionadas, pero que terminan siendo desconcertantes incluso para un par de niños a los que les encanta el juego y el caos. Pero dos semanas son muy poco tiempo, y entre pesadillas que incluyen mosquitos gigantes, tomará una peligrosa decisión.

A maddeningly oblivious, tyrannical and emotionally stunted young woman tries her best to negotiate two toxic friendships.

Josh Safdie made this assured comedy in and around his apartment building when he was still a film student at Boston University. The dioramic setup plays like a vertical REAR WINDOW: a shy daydreamer (played by Safdie) lives above an older Hindi man who lives above a reckless Brit who lives above a girl stuck in a bad relationship. The boy two floors up can only see the back of the girl’s head but that’s enough for a crush to develop. Safdie makes the most out of the single location, deploying dynamic camera angles, wry slapstick and even a couple of crane shots for a whimsical picture of city living.
