In this Shanghai-set heart-stopper, twentysomething Asher finally musters the courage to ask out her dance teacher Tori on her last day in the city before flying home to Los Angeles. They hit it off so intensely that their impromptu coffee date morphs into an all-day marathon of walking, talking, and charged romantic yearning. As they wander together through the buzzing city streets, their magnetic connection grows closer with each side quest. But so too does their precious time draw closer to the inevitable parting they’re desperate to transcend.


Reflecting the world-opening sensation of unexpected soul-to-soul ecstasy, director Shan Jiang fills the screen with an inventive formal imagination that overflows— and, at times, literally expands — from the frame. With a refreshing queer twist on Linklater’s Before Trilogy, this Tribeca-premiering love affair sparks to life with one swoon after another.

In her lush and sweaty horror-cum-erotic feature film debut that was until recently effectively banned by the Philippines’ motion picture review board, director Rodina Singh crafts an eye-popping, genre-blending ode to trans desire and sexuality and their power to sustain trans life. 


Life is not easy for a trans girl in Quezon City. Constantly pushed to the brink of breakdown — or worse — by the anti-trans violence and rhetoric of her daily life, Diwa has turned to a new obsession: the underground audio porn of a creator known only as Dreamboi (Tony LaBrusca). With his voice in her ear, Diwa can momentarily transcend the anxiety of daily life to access vivid fantasies of unabetted sexuality and desire. When she’s forced to head to the sixth sub-basement of her office to find a bathroom she can safely use and overhears a couple having sex, her fantasies and the reality of Dreamboi start to converge. Blending the cinematic styles of horror film and softcore pornography, Dreamboi heralds a major talent to watch in international queer and trans cinema.
