WHAT’S NEW?

Blind Man’s Bible (2026)

—Premieres January—

In a raw exploration of the blurred line between pleasure and pain, four restless teens from Los Angeles spiral into a night of violence, exploitation, and reckoning after a fatal accident and a string of reckless choices. As they descend deeper into moral decay, harassing the homeless, chasing status, and seeking revenge, the film interrogates the cost of comfort and the cruelty often buried beneath luxury.

Goya (2025)

— OUT NOW —

A pair of young hustlers breaks into the home of an elderly man in a vegetative state, hoping to steal the valuable art he’s collected over a lifetime. But their plan quickly twists into something far more unsettling, as they’re forced to confront unexpected moral challenges.
