Breaking new ground in contemporary American gay cinema, Ira Sachs’ deeply personal drama Keep the Lights On examines a volatile 10-year relationship between two divergently addictive personalities, observed in a style that is loose and impressionistic while at the same time microscopic in its intimate detail.

------------------------------------------------------------
This psychological thriller from Canada's endlessly inventive and provocative Xavier Dolan follows a grief-stricken young ad copywriter who visits his dead lover’s parents — only to get drawn into a savage game rooted in the rural family’s dark past. The film was not only a hit among the audiences in Venice but also at the Tomorrow Film Festival in Moscow where demand was so great that additional screenings had to be organized!
