THEY CAME TOGETHER
Fight the winter blues with this goofy yet clever parody of the romantic comedy genre, in the tradition of Airplane! and Scary Movie. Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler star as two glum New Yorkers who look for love in the city of dreams and encounter every whimsical film cliché one can imagine. You’ll never look at a contemporary fairy-tale romance the same way again. Also starring Melanie Lynskey, Bill Hader, and Christopher Meloni.
USA, 2014, 83 minutes, rated 14A

THE ZERO THEOREM
Eccentric and reclusive computer genius Qohen (Christoph Waltz) is plagued with existential angst, living in isolation while he works obsessively on a mysterious project aimed at discovering the meaning of life - or the complete lack of one - once and for all. The “Management” (Matt Damon) sends a series of strange characters to interrupt Qohen, who must eventually look within himself for answers. From prolific director Terry Gilliam (Brazil, 12 Monkeys).

SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! AN AUDIO MISADVENTURE
In 1987, two friends moved into a San Francisco apartment and discovered they lived next door to a pair of argumentative alcoholics. They began recording the frequent squabbles and eventually circulated them on CD, which inspired a cult following and several adaptations into films, comics, and zines. This documentary charts a unique history of the pre-internet meme, and explores blurred lines between privacy, art and exploitation.
Australia, 2011, 90 minutes, not rated

TOM AT THE FARM
The story of Tom, who is in the grip of grief and depression following the death of his lover. When he meets the family of the deceased, it is revealed the mother was not aware of her son's sexual orientation, or his relationship with Tom either, for that matter. From acclaimed French-Canadian writer-director Xavier Dolan.
