MARY & MAX Sat, July 25 @ 9:45pm at the Castro Theatre
Oscar-winning animator Adam Elliot’s bittersweet comic fable of an unlikely yet extraordinary friendship between a middle-aged, obese New York Jew with Asperger’s syndrome and his eight-year-old pen pal from Australia. Brought to life by the bravura voice work of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Toni Collette, it’s a poignant tale of a friendship between oddballs at their wits’ end with the world, but at peace with each other.

SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN Mon, July 27 @ 9pm at the Castro Theatre
Ranging from the hyperrealistic to the fantastical, this powerful neo-noir mystery follows a young Israeli who struggles to remember the terrorist bus bombing that took her boyfriend’s life, leaving her body—and her psyche—severely scarred. An unfamiliar necklace, a patient and handsome stranger and the newfound knowledge that she was pronounced dead for seven minutes all might help her unlock the key to her past.

ZION AND HIS BROTHER Thu, July 30 @ 6pm at the Castro Theatre
Eran Merav’s knockout first feature offers a fresh, razor-sharp perspective on the fraught relationship between brothers. Fourteen-year-old Zion and his older brother Meir are thick as thieves, but when rough play leads to a tragic accident, the brothers react differently and are challenged by thorny questions of loyalty and morality.
