Nomadland – Chloé Zhao
A vast and quiet film, Nomadland follows the story of Fern, whose former town disappears just before her husband passes away. As she hops from job to job, her house is now a van travelling through an incredibly lonely America.

Lady Bird is a wistful, tender coming-of-age story about a teenage girl who longs to get away – from her mother, her hometown, and everything else a teenage girl wishes to get away from.
Fiksi – Mouly Surya
We support women’s rights… and sometimes women’s wrongs. Fiksi (i.e. Fiction) follows a woman who stalks a hunky struggling writer, before moving into his apartment to concoct stories for him. Except these stories always, always come true.
