By accident, Katrine sets the ghost free, who then starts a terrifyingly gruesome attack on the dormitory's residents. Only Katrine knows the fate of the remaining residents if she doesn't stop the actions of the ghost. However, no one believes Katrine's story and they accuse her of the series of mysterious murders.

B.O.H.I.C.A.

B.O.H.I.C.A.


The film takes place over 24 hours on a patch of desert in American-occupied Afghanistan, where four US Army Reservists are stuck on a meaningless mission guarding a radio tower. Dying of boredom rather than enemy fire, the monotony is broken when the US Air Force mistakenly air-drops a keg of beer and these Weekend Warriors embark upon an afternoon of booze, banter, and bonding. But as night falls, the reality of war interrupts the drunken respite, as an Afghani militia attacks their station. "B.O.H.I.C.A." is at once recognition of the absurdity and futility of war and an acknowledgement of the men and women who are compelled to fight it.

Frontrunners

Frontrunners


Rated: NONE
Frontrunners is a smart and funny political documentary that follows the student council presidential campaign at one of the countryʼs most prestigious public high schools: Stuyvesant High School in New York City. An entertaining and symbolic campaign film, put forth in classic verité style, we follow four charming and idiosyncratic candidates as they navigate an electoral process that is said to be one of the most competitive at the high school level. These teenaged candidates face the same issues as candidates of any age, such as picking the ʻrightʼ running mate, shaking as many hands as possible, preparing for televised debates, impressing the pundits and journalistic community, addressing sensitive race-related issues, and mobilizing an apathetic voter base. A microcosm of the U.S. Presidential elections, Caroline Suh's film shows politicking and pluralities through the lens of the adolescent experience.
