Two sisters. Polar opposites. One mission: to pay off their mother’s gambling debts and save their beloved pug, Mr. Linguini. Directed by Academy Award winner Jessica Yu, QUIZ LADY tells the madcap tale of talented, game show-obsessed Anne (Awkwafina, THE FAREWELL) and her train-wreck of a sister Jenny (Sandra Oh, Grey’sAnatomy,KillingEve), who set out on a wild, cross-country journey to get the cash the only way they know how: by turning Anne into a bona-fide game show champion. With an all-star cast rounded out by Will Ferrell, Jason Schwartzman and Holland Taylor, QUIZ LADY is a heartwarming comedy that portrays the dysfunction of sisterly dynamics as puzzle pieces coming together. A 20th Century Studios release on Hulu.

EAST COAST PREMIERE, NARRATIVE FEATURE, USA, 2023, 106 MINUTES, ENGLISH

The architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington, Bayard Rustin (Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo, Euphoria) was one of our country’s greatest unsung activists and organizers. He challenged authority, and never apologized for who he was, what he believed, or who he loved. He made history, and in turn, he was forgotten. Directed by DGA Award and five-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe, RUSTIN shines a long overdue spotlight on the extraordinary man who, alongside other civil rights giants, dared to imagine a different world, and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom. A Netflix release.

NARRATIVE FEATURE, USA/UK/POLAND, 2023, 106 MINUTES, GERMAN/POLISH

Based on a novel of the same name by the late Martin Amis, THE ZONE OF INTEREST is the latest feature from English director Jonathan Glazer (UNDER THE SKIN). This Cannes Grand Prix-winning film centers on the domestic lives of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss (Christian Friedel) and his wife Hedwig (Sandra Hüller, 2006 HIFF Rising Star), as they strive to build a dream life for their family, whose home is mere yards away from the setting of the worst atrocities of recent history. Shot in and around the historic site of Auschwitz and anchored by Mica Levi’s haunting score, THE ZONE OF INTEREST is an unforgettable meditation on the banality of evil. An A24 release.

DIRECTOR/SCREENWRITER: Jonathan Glazer

PRODUCERS: Jim Wilson, Ewa Puszczyńska
