This film promises a fresh perspective and innovative storytelling. “The Nest” (2020), directed by Sean Durkin, is part of The Art of Deception: Swindlers, Scoundrels and Sharks series, diving into the complexities of a family unraveling under financial strain. Julio Medem’s “Room in Rome” (2010) and Laura Gabbert’s documentary “City of Gold” (2015) further diversify the offerings with a blend of intimate romance and a culinary journey through Los Angeles, respectively. Olivia Peace’s “Tahara” (2020) and Olivier Meyrou’s “Yves Saint Laurent: The Last Collection” (2018) round out the day with unique coming-of-age narratives and a deep dive into the fashion world.

Mid-month, on August 16th, Ernst De Geer’s “The Hypnosis” (2023) continues the Latest & Greatest series, likely offering a psychological exploration that will captivate audiences.
