Sleeping With Other People

Leslye Headland 1h 35mUSAEnglish Special Presentation
From executive producer Will Farrell and director Leslye Headland comes a raunchy tale of love and sex in the modern age SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE, the follow-up to last year's breakout success Bachelorette. After losing their virginity to each other over a wild one-night stand in college, Lainey (Alison Brie) and Jake (Jason Sudeikis) freak out and go their separate ways. Randomly crossing paths years later, they realize their debaucherous night has had drastic effects on their respective sex lives: Jake is now a scheming womanizer (which sometimes leads to him being pushed into oncoming traffic) while Lainey is forever stuck on the wrong guy (as long as the sex is good). Though they fight to keep their burning desire for one another at bay, Lainey and Jake realize that their explosive chemistry just might be both the cause of and answer to all their problems, if only they could stop sleeping with other people.

Tangerine

Sean Baker1h 28mUSAEnglish Special Presentation
It’s Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee (newcomer Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend (James Ransone, STARLET, “Generation Kill”) hasn’t been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the working girl and her best friend, Alexandra (newcomer Mya Taylor), embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumor. Their rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles, including an Armenian family dealing with their own repercussions of infidelity. Director Sean Baker's prior films (STARLET, PRINCE OF BROADWAY) brought rich texture and intimate detail to worlds seldom seen on film. TANGERINE follows suit, bursting off the screen with energy and style. A decidedly modern Christmas tale told on the streets of L.A., TANGERINE defies expectation at every turn.
