dir. Azazel Jacobs (USA, 2008, 94 mins)
With Matt Boren, Ken and Flo Jacobs, Richard Edson
After a holiday visit with his parents, Mikey is heading to the airport to return to his wife and newborn baby. But he doesn’t board the plane. Instead he returns to his parents’ loft in lower Manhattan, back to his childhood room that has since been converted to storage. Unsure of his own motivation, he invents excuses about why he’s staying – his flight is delayed, his flight has been cancelled. As the days go by he becomes more and more entrenched in his adolescent sanctuary, and comes to a point where he must choose between life as it is and life as it was.
From the producers of HALF NELSON and MARIA FULL OF GRACE comes this original and touching story about the fear of taking responsibility and ultimately growing up.
A beautiful, wise, and poker-faced comedy. Jacobs\' style recalls early Jim Jarmusch, only more so (Entertainment Weekly).

With Gilbert & George
dir. Julian Cole (UK 2008, 104 min)
Filmmaker, Julian Cole first met Gilbert & George when he modelled for them in 1986. He decided that now they had photographed him he wanted to film them. His moving portrait filmed over 17 years, traces their lives from humble beginnings to their role on the world’s artistic stage where they have performed an enduring and controversial double act for over four decades.
Banned by the authorities and panned by the critics. They are loved and hated with unprecedented ferocity. This film probes the myths and reveals the individuals that are two people inside a single artist, a permanent living sculpture in which they are compelled to be inseparable from each other and their art. This intimate film biography helps open doors to the understanding of their unique visual language, their ‘humanistic art’ and what they believe the real legacy of the art of our times should be.
