A pre-dawn dusting of snow fell on southern Oregon, wrapping Ashland like a gift. Morning’s bright sun melted white back to green to reveal the start of the 10th Ashland Independent Film Festival.
By midday, the endless crisp, blue sky instead hung low, grey, and ominous. A freakish snow squall swirled around the queue in front of the Varsity waiting for the first slate of films, then the clouds lifted and the world shone bright again.
Those changes - from cheery to dreary and b...

Director: Hiba Vink.
For their annual trip, Lena - originally from Sweden - invites her close group of friends to a Frisian island to celebrate the Swedish Midsummer Night tradition. For the first time Meike, an outsider is invited.
As with all friendships, in this thirty-something group of friends some secrets are shared, and others remain untold.
Director: Pascale Simons.
The daughter of a mother who wants to die, a disabled
soccer player, a family man with a double life, a hip couple in their
thirties and a broken family with an autistic son.
They all live in one city. And in the next 24 hours , they will be
more connected than they think.
A painful and loving look at the complexity of loneliness in the
Netherlands. LOTUS is a rare cinematic experience that challenges
audiences to question their own loneliness and that of others. Diving
headfirst into the harsh individualistic reality of a big city, this
film investigates fear, loneliness and love from multiple
perspectives. No one seems safe in the battle for happiness. And no
one is immune to the hidden pain of individualism and anonymity that
causes loneliness and changes lives.
The lotus is a water plant that grows from the mud towards the light.
The lotus effect is the phenomenon that occurs when dirt lands on the
leaf of a Lotus: It won't stick. This self-cleaning feature is due to
the numerous small bumps on the leaf.

Father’s Day is not a title for a film reflecting on what most of us remember as a special day for dads. What we have is a dark revenge movie going off into the deep crevices, of Grindhouse movies with a the combination of 80s late-night TV and a perverted sense of humor which makes this film something truly unique.
If that is your flavor for film and you are a Troma fan,you will love this movie. How Astron-6 did this film on such a limited budget is mind-blowing.
