Simple Wedding
(USA, 88 min)
Writers:Sara Zandieh, Stephanie Wu
Director:Sara Zandieh
Cast: Tara Grammy, Christopher O’Shea, Shohreh Aghdashlo, Rita Wilson, Maz Jobrani

Though her Iranian parents long for their daughter to have the perfect Persian wedding, Nousha can’t seem to hold a relationship together long enough to ever see that through. That is, until she meets Alex, an eccentric bisexual artist who might just be the one. However when Nousha’s parents find out about the blossoming relationship, she’s pressured into tying the knot before either of them are already. The thrust-upon wedding becomes a runaway train as cultures clash and families collide.

Trailer
(USA, 88 min)
Writers: Ann Lupo, Esteban Pedraza, Aaron Pryka
Director: Ann Lupo
Cast: Ann Lupo, Miles G. Jackson, Kimiko Glenn, Jill Eikenberry


Ann is consumed by the fantasy of finding true love, but just when she thinks she’s found it, she is friend-zoned. The disappointment of rejection sends her into an obsessive downward spiral that tests the limits of her sanity and the strength of her closet friendship. In order to reclaim her bearing on reality, she confronts her overgrown fantasies by making a film about the experience. The result is a vulnerable, hilarious, and vibrantly stylized investigation of love.

Seven interconnecting stories are set in and around a lost-and-found office of an Irish train station: Daniel tries to hold onto his new job at the lost & found office; Eddie spends most days at the station begging for money; Gabriel plans to surprise his girlfriend by proposing on an airplane, but airport security has other plans; a grandmother asks her grandson to retrieve a mysterious bracelet from her childhood; Moya visits a funeral home and signs the book of condolences without realizing the consequences; cranky pub owner Paudge can’t attract the locals, no matter how many grand openings he has; and Sile has set a date for her wedding despite not yet having a groom.
