Paris becomes colder after midnight. The amber glow that cinema has spent decades teaching us to expect is absent, replaced by fluorescent Metro platforms, police lights, illuminated bus shelters, fish tanks, convenience stores, and the purple wash of late-night bars. Faces pass through these spaces carrying exhaustion. Some people are going home. Others are keeping the city alive for everyone who already has. Beatrice Gibson places herself among them as B, a filmmaker wandering through the city while scouting locations for a project she cannot quite define. During a conversation about the unfinished film, she admits that making attractive images...

Rose picks the worst possible moment to finally become honest. Ryan is only hours away from marrying Julia when his estranged college friend appears at the wedding uninvited, carrying a confession she has apparently kept buried for years. She loves him. The complication is that Ryan once loved her too, and those feelings never received a clean ending. Reed Arnold, making his feature directing debut while playing Ryan’s best man Mark, builds Do Us Part around the emotional danger of an unanswered question. Ryan, played by Travis Laughlin, has a future waiting for him at the altar. Rose, played by...

Islamic scientific history rarely gets to become a verb in games. The House of Hikmah changes that with the Key, a device that lets 14-year-old Maya alter matter itself, transforming objects into metal, glass, ether, and other states while she searches for answers about her late father. Knowledge here is something you touch. Lunacy Studios builds its debut around the House of Wisdom, reimagined as a magical institution connecting scholars from different periods of the Islamic Golden Age. Maya arrives after Abdullah, her father and one of the House's scholars, dies in a shipwreck. His absence has left the place...

Stephen de Villiers gives The Run a wonderfully efficient dramatic problem: in an Australia where births have nearly disappeared, one crying baby becomes valuable enough to get people killed. The screenplay then spends much of its first half finding less efficient ways to move that problem forward. Set around 2036, the film places ageing smuggler Mac (Callan Mulvey) inside a country fractured by lockdowns, quarantine zones, abandoned settlements, and a fertility crisis. He survives by moving contraband through remote territory and keeping other people’s problems at a safe distance. That arrangement collapses when he encounters Aliah (Charlotte Maggi), a young...

Ten states, 10,825 miles, 123 theaters. Those numbers give Rustin Thompson’s The Last Picture Shows its physical scale, yet the documentary becomes most revealing when it gets down to a single screen and the people trying to keep it illuminated. Thompson’s 78-minute film travels through the American West documenting independent cinemas, drive-ins, abandoned buildings, and owners whose businesses often make little financial sense. The numbers supplied along the way are brutal. The United States had roughly 22,000 movie theaters in 1929. Fewer than 3,000 remain. Drive-ins have fallen from thousands to around 300. Statistics can turn cultural decline into an...

The most revealing thing about The Weird Kidz is how little interest it has in cleaning up childhood for adult consumption. Dug, Fatt, and Mel spend their days inside a Black Bird convenience store playing arcade games, insulting one another, staring at women, and performing the particular stupidity available to children who have been given freedom before judgment. Zach Passero builds his handmade animated horror-comedy around that disorder. Created over roughly eight years with a tiny crew, the film wears its limited resources openly. Characters move with deliberate crudeness against painted backgrounds, faces are simple, and motion lacks the smoothness...
