Oh Dae-su is abruptly kidnapped off the street and locked in a windowless hotel room for 15 years with no explanation.

What follows is a pitch-black, hyper violent journey to the absolute brink of psychological vengeance.

One day, after a fellow classmate asks Jooin to sign a petition to prevent a newly released sex offender from moving into their neighbourhood, Jooin refuses, causing a major scene. She starts to receive anonymous notes questioning her behavior, and cracks begin to appear in her formerly peaceful world.

What begins as a youthful summer romance against deep sea blues is revealed to be a screening of Li's film, a writer paralyzed by creative block. Seeking escape, she retreats to a snowy resort, where a tentative connection with a divorced innkeeper starts to mirror her own fiction.
Reminiscent of Hong Sangsoo’s bifurcated storytelling, Two Seasons, Two Strangers (旅と日々) explores art and isolation through contrasting landscapes of sea, snow, and silence. Fresh off its Golden Leopard win at Locarno, this poetic film eloquently captures the limits of language-- letting the environment speak where words fail, and finding a comforting grace in shared loneliness.

The film title rings a bell? You're probably thinking of that 2015 anthem with the iconic music video that became a touchstone for a generation of queer women. Ten years on, Hayley Kiyoko, affectionately dubbed the "Lesbian Jesus" by fans, brings her beloved song to the big screen in her feature directorial debut!
Set over one unforgettable, sun-soaked summer, Girls Like Girls follows Coley, the new girl in town, as she experiences the exhilaration, uncertainty, and vulnerability of first love while learning to embrace who she truly is. Starring Maya da Costa, Myra Molloy, and Zach Braff, the film is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about self-discovery, friendship, and the courage to choose yourself.
To celebrate the film's Singapore exclusive release at Filmhouse, we're so excited to present a virtual Q&A with Hayley Kiyoko herself after the Fri 7 Aug, 8.30pm premiere, moderated by local artist and beloved queer icon Jean Seizure. Join us for an intimate conversation about bringing an internet-era cultural phenomenon to the screen, queer storytelling, and Kiyoko's journey from musician to filmmaker.
