In the world’s happiest town, a man haunted by his past uncovers a sinister sacrifice behind its veneer of bliss.
Sergio enters Remis, a town famed for being the happiest in the world, only to find himself at odds with its pristine facade. Within this manufactured paradise, he is initiated into a startling ritual: a boy named Matteo liberates the residents from suffering through a simple hug. What begins as a search for truth quickly curdles into horror as Sergio unveils the disturbing reality sustaining the town’s superficial happiness.
Reminiscent of Ari Aster’s Hereditary and Jordan Peele’s Get Out, La Valle Dei Sorrisi (The Holy Boy) probes the cost of healing at another’s expense– confronting a reality where suffering is not a choice, but a prerequisite for truth over the comfort of false optimism. La Valle Dei Sorrisi won the Italian Federation of Film Clubs (Fedic) award at the Venice Film Festival.

Join us for a special screening of Brokeback Mountain presented by Proud Spaces and NBCUniversal as part of Pink Screen, a Signature Event of Pink Fest. All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting Proud Spaces and their ongoing work with the LGBTQ+ community.
For one night only, we’re transforming the screening into a queer rodeo: think denim, fringe, desire, and everything in between. Come dressed for the occasion and join us for an evening of cinema, conversation, and community.
Following the screening, we are exploring an intergenerational panel conversation on queer cinema, representation, and the cultural impact of Brokeback Mountain over the past two decades. Bringing together a queer activist who watched the film when it was first released, a younger viewer encountering it for the first time, and a filmmaker working within the local landscape today, the discussion will reflect on how queer stories have evolved onscreen, and what still feels unresolved. Are there differing thresholds applied to “foreign” versus local works that engage sensitive social issues? How do we tell stories that are deeply rooted in lived realities here?
Tickets are available on a sliding scale at $25, $50, and $75. Guests purchasing $50 and $75 tickets will also receive popcorn and soda vouchers redeemable at the Filmhouse concession stand.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN has earned its place as a touchstone in cultural memory. Returning to Singaporean cinema screens for the first time in nearly 20 years, this seminal “Gay Western” is primed and ready to break our hearts yet again. Oh it hurts so good.
Set in 1960s rural Wyoming, two men develop find transcendent love with each other that endures as a lifelong connection, complicating their lives as they get married and start families of their own.
