Eternity

  David Freyne  |  U.S.

In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with (Miles Teller) and her first love (Callum Turner), who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive. Guided by an Afterlife Coordinator (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), they have just one week to confront the ultimate dilemma: where, and with whom, to spend eternity. From this whimsical concept blooms a bold, heart-stirring rom-com, a journey into a charming pop vision of post-earthly existence and how we take the measure of a lifetime of love and happiness.

We Are Pat

Rowan Haber | U.S.

A whimsical and complex interrogation of “Pat,” the famously awkward, androgynous SNL character created by comedian Julia Sweeney in the early 1990s.

A close-up of a young woman’s face, framed against a glowing orange sky with the sun flaring behind her. Her expression is serious and slightly defiant, her features cast in warm, saturated light. The mood is intense and atmospheric.
