The Upside

a Gabriel Brown film

THE UPSIDE

Fiction, Comedy, 76:40 min, color, HDTV.

 

Synopsis

Following the misadventures of two eccentric personalities, Dee (STEPHEN TAYLOR) and Jamie (XANIA KEANE), we follow the story of two well-intentioned individuals who meet and fall clumsily in love.

Jamie’s insular world changes when Dee moves into the apartment close to where she keeps her trailer. The son of a desperate mother, Dee is tall and seductive. He is more timid and uncertain than Jamie. At the age of 30, Dee is finally moved to find someone for himself, with the obvious help of his mother, Janet (DOMINIQUE REMY-ROOT). When they are faced with their first meeting, the strange and secret world of Jamie becomes engaged with a more extravagant reality.

Dee’s relationship with his mother falls into complete dysfunction. Dee wants to be independent, but we are unsure as to whether he will be able to survive without her. For this reason, when Janet informs her son that she has invited Jamie to dinner, Dee complains that she is trying to entangle Jamie into her maternal umbilical cord, along with himself.

Synopsis

Louise (Rebecca L. Rau) and four other troubled young patients are ordered to appear at a week-end of art therapy sessions with Doctor Zion (George Moskos). Louise soon falls in love with another inductee, an alcoholic patient named Kurt (Dustin Ruck). Doctor Lazarus (Damon Cox), an assistant of Dr. Zion, guides their progress while the doctor is out.

One of the patients, Eric (Jason J. Cox) is a sexually depraved teenager. He soon takes an obsessive interest in Louise, who becomes distrustful of the goings-on in the halfway house.

Through discussion, painting lessons and music therapy, the group hashes out their life stories and inner struggles. All the while, Dr. Lazarus becomes sexually obsessed with Eric. The story takes a turn to black humor when Doctor Lazarus manages to create an atmosphere of fear and distrust amongst the group.

The Picture of the Day

a Jo-Anne Velin film

THE PICTURE OF THE DAY

Documentary, 90 min, color, HD.

 

Synopsis

After an arson attack in a German village, Easter 2015, on an apartment block that was to house 40 asylum-seekers, national and international media attention blanketed the village. Thus, this burnt-out roof became the icon of a new wave of xenophobic, racist violence in the country, in the year a million people seeking asylum or simple refuge made it to Germany. The arsonists were never identified. It's not known if they came from the village, but the name of the place was stigmatised: Troeglitz. This affected the people who live there, profoundly. And that is where the film begins.
