Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

This Wednesday! From 1920s personal hygiene guides to NASA’s zero-gravity experiments to amateur disco exhibitions, CINEMA EPHEMERA: THE HUMAN MACHINE is a celebration of the ordinary and the forgotten.

Culled from their collection of footage from government archives, flea markets, dumpsters, and the basements of old hoarders, Rich Remsberg and Shawn Rosenheim take the Amherst Cinema stage this Wednesday, October 11 at 7pm to share a curated evening of ephemeral films. “These are films that were not meant to last beyond their original showings,” says Remsberg. “They weren’t even necessarily meant to be considered films.”

“A remarkable coming-of-age drama... director Walter Thompson-Hernández makes a refreshing point of holding fast to big dreams and bits of poetry—not to deny the realities of life, but to embrace it in all its bittersweet richness.”
–Angie Han, The Hollywood Reporter
