At Home Among Strangers
Directed by Asya Gorbacheva, USA, Documentary Short, 23:59, Brooklyn Premiere
This intimate portrait of Sasha Smirnov, a gay asylum seeker, explores the steep price he pays for freedom after coming out publicly in Russia. As a 40 year old journalist without English language skills, Sasha fights to find his place In the US.

Brighton Beach
Directed by Carol Stein and Susan Wittenberg, USA, Documentary Feature, 00:55:00
Filmmakers Carol Stein and Susan Wittenberg delve into place - what it evokes, how it feels, what it signifies. They find visual ecstasy in the ordinary, meaning in the mundane. For an hour, they unpeel layers of this bizarre neighborhood; its organized anarchy, its exquisite ugliness, its funny sadness.
