'Hatching' - Social Media as the Modern Cardboard World
Hanna Bergholm's 'Hatching' shows us that the modern version of the cardboard world trope is social media.

Kasimir uses a hollow couch to infiltrate houses. Once inside, he secretly films the owners’ lives. A few days later the couch is picked up again, with Kasimir inside: “Delivery Error“. He delivers the tapes to the brain surgeon Dr. Liebermann, who is trying to learn how to feel human emotions. While Kasimir provides him with more footage of further break-ins to prove his love, the doctor, unimpressed, prepares an awake surgery in his cellar for a young musician. Broken by unrequited love, Kasimir begins to deviate from Liebermann‘s dogma: never intervene in what happens in front of the camera. An unforgivable breach of trust for Liebermann and so he decides to determine Kasimir’s fate.

The Djinn is about childhood traumas and lifestyle changes. It tells the story of Dylan (Ezra Dewey), a mute boy who blames himself for his mom’s death. He also condemns himself for being speech-impaired, and he thinks that if he did not have that condition, everything could had been different.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
Holiday hijinks ensue when a recently separated couple are both accidently invited to same holiday celebration.
If your upbringing was anything like mine, where the TV acted as an additional parent- there are so many new stories and perspectives to explore.
