West Basin Municipal Water District (West

simple online evaluation form.
Qualifying residents who complete the
online evaluation will receive a free kit that
contains a high-efficiency faucet aerator and

clothes washer rebate. To learn more about

A Few of the Films That You Can See at This
Year’s (Virtual) Sundance Film Festival
By CINEMACY for cinemacy.com
This time of year typically sees the entertainment
industry heading to their closets to
dust off their parkas and boots for the annual
Sundance Film Festival (traditionally held
in snowy Park City, Utah), but like many
things affected by COVID-19, this year will
be looking different.
Shifting online, Cinemacy will be covering
our fifth consecutive festival from the comfort
of our couches. And while we wish we could be
attending in person – seeing a world premiere
at the Eccles theater, interviewing A-list talent,
and meeting new friends and filmmakers – we
are still so excited for the main event: being
able to see the premieres of independent films.
Below are just a few of the films that Cinemacy
will be covering (head to cinemacy.
com to check out even more films we’ll be
watching and to purchase your own tickets,
visit https://festival.sundance.org).
One For The Road directed
by Baz Poonpiriya
When we saw that the legendary Wong
Kar Wai was credited as the film’s producer,
we immediately knew we had to make this
screening a priority. This coming-of-age film is
being described as an emotional watch about
the bittersweet time between the flowering
of youth and the hard-earned realization that
all things must end.
We’re All Going to the World’s
Fair directed by Jane Schoenbrun
Director Jane Schoenbrun’s dark feature film
debut promises to dive into deep emotional
terrain, exploring themes of identity and
isolation while skillfully exploring online
wormholes.
Judas and the Black Messiah
directed by Shaka King
This late addition to the festival was one
of the best surprises: Daniel Kaluuya and
LaKeith Stanfield star in this political biopic
about the inner workings of the Black Panther
Party and the FBI informant sent out to
infiltrate their organization.
Cryptozoo directed by Dash Shaw
We needed at least one magically surreal
film on our schedule, and Cryptozoo is it,
described as a fantastical feature animation
for adults that takes audiences on a sublime
journey toward multispecies justice.
Homeroom directed
by Peter Nicks
This documentary follows the lives of Oakland
high school seniors navigating college
admissions, graduation, and planning their
futures amidst the pandemic. Homeroom
also completes a trilogy of documentaries
exploring health care, criminal justice, and
education in Oakland, California from director
Peter Nicks.
A Glitch in the Matrix
directed by Rodney Ascher
Do you ever question whether the world
we live in is real? So does director Rodney
Ascher (Room 237), who returns to Sundance
with this fascinating and visually stimulating
documentary examining simulation theory.
Cue the existential crisis. •
