It’s been a challenging fall with all that’s going on in our world. We don’t know about you, but we can sure use a little fun and inspiring relief. Good News! We’ve got five new films in our virtual cinema for you to enjoy and there’s something here for everyone.
See all of the new films listed below. You can also browse by genre to find dramas, documentaries, and even a horror film to watch in the comfort and safety of your home.
AGGIE
Documentary | USA | 2020An exploration of the nexus of art, race, and justice through the story of art collector Agnes Gund who sold Roy Lichtenstein’s painting “Masterpiece” in 2017 for $165 million to start the Art for Justice Fund to end mass incarceration.
CITIZENS OF THE WORLD
Comedy | Italy | 2020A light, frisky Italian comedy about three old geezers looking to leave Rome for a more fulfilling life.Gianni Di Gregorio, Italy’s laconic answer to Larry David, returns to the humanist comic territory of arthouse hits Mid-August Lunch and The Salt of Life with Citizens of the World, a warm and delightful reflection on life with characters you’ll want to spend many more hours with long after the credits roll.
THE KEEPER
UK/Germany | English | 2019 DramaThe Keeper is an extraordinary true love story between a young English woman and a German prisoner of war, who together overcome prejudice, outrage and personal tragedy. It is a romantic tale of love and redemption.
NYICFF Kid Flicks One keeps the dynamic of work and play lively with these tales and more from around the globe. Cat Lake City has you covered if you, like its loveable feline, feel like you just can’t catch a break in this hilarious tale of a hard-won vacay. But if you’re fortunate, you know that effort and fun can happily co-exist as they do in the short doc The Magic of Chess. Finally, meet another hard-worker who gets a little lost dawdling in the countryside in the beautifully hand-animated Boriya.
MONSOON
England/Vietnam | Romance/Drama
2020Kit (Henry Golding), a young British Vietnamese man, returns to his birth country for the first time in over 30 years. He was just eight years old when he and his family escaped Saigon as ‘boat refugees’ after the Vietnam War.
