CONTENT WARNING:

Sadie’s art is her photography. Nico’s art is her life. Together they explore Britain’s 60’s mod culture of music, fashion, drugs and vintage scooters in contemporary Los Angeles. Sadie observes the world through the lens of her 35 mm camera, but everything changes when she meets Nico, the new “mod” girl who was born with Milroy’s disease that causes her to have abnormal swelling in her foot. Nico doesn’t hide her disability, in fact she loves the spotlight. Sadie is drawn into Nico’s thrilling world of aesthetics where Sadie learns about herself and who she really is.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

A smash hit at festivals everywhere, E.E.Cassidy's award winning film "We Are the Mods" starts the festival off with a bang. Cassidy perfectly captures the mood and feel of neo-Mod Los Angeles complete with motor scooters and vintage ska. Come and see the movie Filmmaker magazine called "an affectionate and good-hearted homage to not only seminal films of the 1960s but also to the heady rush of young artistic discovery familiar to any sensitive ex-high schooler." We Are The Mods is a teen drama using the familiar territory of 'good girl corrupted by the bad' while simultaneously serving as a tribute to 60s cult classics like Blow-Up and the early work of Jean-Luc Godard.

We are proud to present the U.S. Premiere of David Chow's experimental documentary about gay life in Hong Kong. Mixing fact with fiction, the filmmaker takes us into the lives of present day Hong Kong gay men, revealing their hidden aspirations and desires.

Scottish police detective and his alleged fatal affair with a young Chinese man. This sets off an investigation that threatens to rock the moral foundation of the Hong Kong Law Enforcement and Justice Department in the 1980s. Filmmaker David Chow takes us into the lives of present-day Hong Kong gay men to reveal their hidden aspirations and desires. He tracks down gay couples, a lovelorn painter, a taxi driver, activists, radical politicians, sociologists, sexologists, philosophers, and political analysts.Filming in pick-up joints, bars and saunas, he reveals a gay community forced underground by marginalization, criminalization, and discrimination. Chow uncovers how the conservative Hong Kong establishment is reluctant to improve the rights of the local gay community.
