Like two snakes chasing each other’s tails, time wriggles forward and backwards in Lev Kalman and Whitney Horn’s surrealist satire. In 2001, a pair of young investigators wander a mansion that is haunted by both its eastern relics and their western collector. Meanwhile, in the present day, they are watched by The Therapists, two Lululemon-clad researchers following metaphysical wellness rituals. A mysterious lo-fi kaleidoscope, with cameos by Condoleezza Rice, Shah Jahan, and Brendan Fraser.

In this absurdist homage to '90s basic cable TV thrillers, two hot INTERPOL agents uncover an international, interspecies mystery.

1920s New York through the cloudy lens of exuberant, idiosyncratic revisionism -- the Beautiful and Damned, before they knew about that second part.

A dreamy, ironic comedy about a generation of hedonistic students in the 1990s. Their favourite activity: talking endlessly. During a series of vacation days filled with sun-drenched naps, squabbling, waterskiing competitions and love-making, the amateur actors discuss their concerns in dry dialogues. For instance, semi-intellectual reflections on the end of time and how Michael Jordan plays basketball.

On a hunt for the Fountain of Youth, three teenagers in '80s Honduras buy drugs, harm nature and have magical encounters. Long silent jungle sequences, a meditation on Mayan Archaeology and a heavy TV teen vibe make Blondes in the Jungle at once an absurd comedy and a serious film about the possibility of spiritual growth in a world of instant gratification.

Life's a beach.

Colorado, 1893: a trio of New York city slickers — a hippy-dippy mystic, a French geologist, and a foppish artist — wander the desert in search of the relaxing waters of the hot springs, along the way encountering from-the-future time travelers, kinky sex ghosts, spirit cats, and cowboys.
