Synopsis

Anxiety Club

ANXIETY CLUB provides a humorous and heartfelt look at our common experience of anxiety through the lens of some of the most brilliant (and anxious) comedians working today.

The Act of Killing

In this chilling and groundbreaking documentary, former Indonesian death squad leaders reenact their real-life mass killings in the style of various film genres, from gangster epics to musicals. As they recreate their past atrocities, the line between reality and performance blurs, exposing the lingering impact of Indonesia’s 1965-66 anti-communist purge and the unsettling psychology of its perpetrators.
