I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT

Directed by Shamim Sarif





 
SYNOPSIS

Tala, a London-based Jordanian of Palestinian origin prepares for an elaborate wedding with her Jordanian fiancé, when she encounters Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend Ali. Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more different from each other but the attraction is immediate. Tala’s feisty nature provokes Leyla out of her shell and soon both women reveal their feelings for each other. But Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made and escapes back to Jordan where her chain-smoking high-brow mother finishes preparations for an ostentatious wedding.

As family members descend and the wedding day approaches, simmering family tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself. Meanwhile heartbroken Leyla relishes her newly found sense of identity and self-respect and moves on with her new life – much to the shock of her tradition-loving Indian parents. Single again, Tala flies back to London – but it will take more than just a date set up by Ali and Leyla’s sister Zara to win Leyla back.

MARGARET CHO: ASSASSIN

Directed by Kerry Asmussen





 
SYNOPSIS

The incomparable Margaret Cho roars back onto the screen with her latest concert,  The Assassin Tour, recorded live in May of 2005 at the Warner Theater in Washington D.C.   Uproariously funny, poignant and scathing, this is one event movie you won't want to miss!

Assassin features fresh doses of Cho’s always ground-breaking, controversial and hilarious brand of humor from her critically acclaimed "State of Emergency" tour. Says Margaret, “It’s a raw interpretation of what’s happening daily in our ever-evolving or devolving state of the union.”

Margaret's experience starring in her own network sit-com was chronicled in her 1999 Off-Broadway show, I'm the One That I Want. That movie ended up making more money per print than any movie in history. It was also adapted into a best-selling autobiography, followed by two more groundbreaking concert tours, Notorious C.H.O. and Revolution, each generating more ticket and DVD sales than its predecessor.
