Settling the disharmony of transitional upheaval in relationships familial, romantic, and platonic is Feña’s task at hand, and his resulting juggling act is equal parts skillful, fumbling, and honest. In negotiating his obliqueness, the poignant moments he finds between himself and others – as the distance between them closes – are warm, true, and touching.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Viewer discretion is advisedMax is a 25-year-old writer living in London and paying his dues working at a literary magazine. On the cusp of finding success in the local lit scene, by night Max moonlights as a sex worker in order to research his debut novel. What begins as a few furtive meetings soon becomes a secret nocturnal life as his alter ego “Sebastian.” In a fearless lead performance from newcomer Ruraridh Mollica, Max’s emotions cycle through ecstasy, shame, and exhilarating liberation. Far from simply informing his autobiographical fiction, Max’s experiences as Sebastian awaken a deeper sense of self, unshackled from societal expectations – all the while threatening his carefully-earned status in the literary community. This Sundance Film Festival selection from writer-director Mikko Mäkelä explores the transgressive power of queer sexuality and the transformative impact that can result from embracing a new identity.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Jeff Rauseo, Kristy PuchkoOriginally produced by Kanopy Production in 2025.Welcome back to THE FILM LIBRARY, a Kanopy podcast where we spotlight hidden gems, cult favorites, and movies that linger in your mind long after the credits roll—no film degree required. This week, hosts Kristy Puchko (Entertainment Editor at Mashable) and Jeff Rauseo (film lover, festival diehard, and self-proclaimed summer binge-watcher) dive into their favorite arthouse discoveries that capture the chaos, beauty, and fever-dream energy of summer. Kristy brings a mix of unclassifiable treasures from a mind-bending true crime doc in The Painter and the Thief to a razor-sharp satire of wealth and privilege with the Triangle of Sadness, and the queer cult classic But I’m a Cheerleader, which turned camp into a celebration of identity. Meanwhile, Jeff counters with bold picks that redefined genres: Christopher Nolan’s memory-twisting breakout Memento, the haunting arthouse slasher In a Violent Nature, and the darkly hilarious The Art of Self-Defense. Kristy and Jeff explore how these films mess with perception, flip familiar stories on their head, and prove that summer cinema can be just as strange and unpredictable as the season itself. So, whether your ideal summer movie is funny or frightening, this episode is packed with recommendations that are sure to leave a mark.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
