Layla is ten years old, and about to meet her new family. She just doesn't know it yet. An act of kindness met with deception leads to Layla's abduction and descent into a life of sex slavery hidden in an ordinary neighborhood. It could even be yours. I AM STILL HERE takes us inside Layla's new world, showing what really happens to these children after the first 48 hours, and why it's so difficult to combat the fastest-growing illegal enterprise in the world: the child sex slave industry. Starring Johnny Rey Diaz (Hawaii Five-O), Erika Ringor (Love and Basketball), and Ciara Jiana (Sharknado), this movie is based on exhaustive research into real cases, and is dedicated to all the missing children who are still out there. From first-time writer/director Mischa Marcus and Emmy-nominated and award-winning producer Stephanie Bell.
Amanda Fuller is dynamite in Simon Rumley's (Red, White & Blue) mind-bending gothic psychodrama about a fashion-obsessed woman whose life falls spectacularly apart. You're unlikely to see many better performances this year than Amanda Fuller's mesmerising turn as April, a 30-something whose self-image and perception of life is determined by the vintage clothes she wears and sells at a funky emporium in Austin, Texas with husband Eric (Freak Me Out favourite Ethan Embry; The Devil's Candy, SFF 2016; Cheap Thrills, SFF 2013). When Eric strays, a devastated April meets Randall, a smooth-talker with a predilection for strange sexual games. That's just the start of this dazzlingly filmed and superbly edited journey into real and imagined worlds. A killer soundtrack rounds out the best film yet by genre-mashing British ace Simon Rumley (The Living and the Dead).

灵车司机阿纳特 (Anant) 做了一个奇怪的梦,发现自己已故的母亲和祖母参与了一项神秘的实验。Bardovi:死亡与重生之间的旅程是一部令人发人深省的电影,巧妙地将普通的人与非凡的人融合在一起。这个故事围绕着一个中年的灵车司机Anant旋转,他的平凡生活在他的已故母亲和神秘的Daduba的秘密时,神秘地转变。Chittaranjan Giri表现出了出色的表现,以微妙和深度体现了角色的混乱和决心。他的刻画捕捉了一个人在现实与梦之间陷入的男人的本质,努力理解他的零散的过去。 Virat Madke作为Daduba增加了神秘和温暖的层面,使观众不断质疑他的真正动机。尽管她的屏幕时间有限,但Chhaya Kadam在倒叙中的角色仍会对她的情感表情和强大的存在产生持久的影响。卡兰·查凡(Karan Chavan)的方向既精确又内省,允许这个故事以故意的速度展开。这部电影的节奏反映了Anant对周围秘密的逐渐理解,梦想序列无缝地融入了现实。这创造了一个引人入胜且有趣的叙述,使观众着迷。摄影以昏暗的照明和特写镜头增强了电影的心情,营造出幽闭恐惧症的气氛,反映了Anant的内部动荡。* Bardovi*不仅仅是一部电影;这是一个难题,挑战观众仔细思考和观察。这是进入生命,死亡和重生之谜的旅程,对于那些欣赏内省和神秘的故事讲述的人来说,它是一个令人信服的手表。
