Now
we are pleased to announce the launch of DigiNext, a curated series of
independent films fresh from festivals around the world and now at your local
Digiplex Destination. The selected films include edgy comedies, provocative
dramas and insightful documentaries that bring something unique to your local cinema- Movies that Change You.
Here is the list of features for our first series:
The
story centers on the Navarros, a family struggling to keep their young son
alive. The war between the Navarro Family and the FDA is perhaps this country’s
greatest evidence as to why there should be medical freedom. As the personal
meets the political, we see how the FDA holds a vise-like grip on treatment
options. Heart-wrenching and informative, the film ultimately expresses the
hope that we can create a new paradigm of prevention, medical freedom and
acceptance of highly-tailored therapies to usher in a more enlightened era.
Every night on Broadway, dozens of
the best performers aren’t on stage. They are backstage, standing by, ready to
go on at a moment’s notice. The unique and challenging lives of Broadway’s
Understudies and Standbys are revealed in this evocative and original
behind-the-scenes documentary.
Chloe & Keith’s Wedding is a
heartfelt and hilarious, indie romantic-comedy that captures all of the fun,
frolicking and hijinks of one of the craziest weddings ever. Completely
scripted, the film cleverly captures the story of Jordan, the clumsy best man,
and Sarah, a bridesmaid who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend as told
through the “found footage” shot by the wedding videographers and the guests
themselves using video flip cameras. This hilarious and touching indie film is
truly groundbreaking as it was the first to use a viral video to solely market
the film.
Phil Jacobs, editor of the
Washington Jewish Post, has begun writing and publishing a series of articles about sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community. He has found what he believes to be clear evidence that several respected rabbis have been able to avoid arrest and recrimination due to the control they wield over the community. Fear blankets the orthodox community, creating an impenetrable wall of silence impossible to break through.
Shot
on location in Taiwan, The Taiwan Oyster tells the story of Darin and Simon,
two American ex-‐patriots who steal the corpse of a fallen countryman
and embark on a quixotic road trip through the Taiwanese countryside in search
of a suitable burial place for a person they barely knew. Taiwan in the year
2000, only thirteen years after the lifting of Marshall Law rule and still an
unruly place referred to by many as the “Wild, Wild East,” provides a perfect
setting for The Taiwan Oyster.
