If you like psychological thriller movies, this one's for you. It drops you into a tense, strange relationship between a lonely waitress and a mysterious drifter that slowly starts to warp what feels real.

This tech thriller feels uncomfortably close to real life, which is exactly why it's so gripping. A young programmer discovers his algorithm is powering a massive AI surveillance system, and suddenly he's stuck in a moral nightmare with no easy way out.

This cinematic dance-drama explodes the boundaries of the stage, utilizing handheld cameras to follow star-crossed lovers through the hidden halls and backstage shadows of the Armory in real-time.

Two virtuosic performers unearth the hidden history of the Underground Railroad that ran south into Mexico, building an entire hip-hop score from scratch using live-looping technology.
