EVERYDAY
(World Premiere)
Juan Carlos Buitrón, 84min
The feature debut of a tremendously talented multi-hyphenate: Buitrón wrote, directed and stars in this gritty portrayal of family, friendship and love. While living in a neighborhood consumed by gangs and drugs (primarily supplied by his uncle), Christian only cares about three things: paying bills, getting good grades at college and trying to take care of his troubled teenage brother. Difficult circumstances allow for limited choices, and Christian desperately attempts to be the positive role model he never had. If only it were that easy.

SCHIZOPHRENIA
Mike Slawomir Cecotka, 80min
An amazing feature based on a true story. In the early '80s a psychiatrist in Poland decides he needs to get a deeper understanding of the schizophrenic mind. In the spirit of pure research he decides to simulate a mental illness in order to be committed to an institution, thereby gaining first-hand knowledge of schizophrenics in their natural environment. As a check and balance he advises two senior psychiatrists of his plan, however one of the doctors dies and the other leaves Poland. His simulation is so successful that the good doctor is trapped in the institution with the violent and delusional clients. He is moved to a new cell for his own protection, but his new roommate has secrets of his own.
