Meia-irmã
Producer
Sinaloa (Sophie Reid) é uma jovem britânica que ruma em direção ao Texas para encontrar Merle (Allison Tolman), sua meio-irmã por parte do seu falecido pai, que era músico do ritmo country. Não demora para que Sinaloa se insira na vida de Merle. Sua música acorda algo na vida da sua nova meio-irmã, apagando as dúvidas do parentesco entre as duas. Enquanto o legado musical da família trouxe esta estranha para a cidade, motivos mais obscuros estão entrelaçados na música que Sinaloa canta, mostrando sinais de uma violenta raiva construída há anos.
The Sensitives
Producer
In Drew Xanthopoulos’ intimate and cinematic documentary, we meet Joe, a patriarch whose affliction is so all-encompassing that he’s indifferent to his long-suffering wife; and twin brothers Sam and Nathan, musicians who are no longer able to breathe outside of their real-life sterile “plastic bubble,” and whose mother, Karen, developed her illness when she was only 17. These characters all suffer from debilitating sensitivities to their environment. Whether from ambient chemicals, genetics, electricity, or even psychogenic reasons, the cause is not clear, but the reality of the effects on these individuals is undeniable. Fortunately, Susie Molloy, a quiet firebrand who is chemically sensitive herself, seeks to help. In her, those afflicted by this modern malady have found an advocate whose mission is to de-stigmatize this community, and in telling their stories, Xanthopoulos has crafted a film itself as deeply sensitive as its title suggests.
