Incluvie Film Fest 3rd Place Winner: ‘Warmth’ Review
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.

Kostas and Aliki are somewhat different from the other seven members of their group, which is why they are called "the moralist" and "the down-to-earth one." One evening, Stelios and Stefanos lure them to a wild party at a villa in Glyfada, where the atmosphere is electric: dim lighting, provocative outfits, striptease. After a guest makes an overt sexual advance toward Aliki, the group leaves, but on the way, their car—driven by Stefanos—hits a passerby. They immediately take the injured stranger to Kostas' apartment, and Stefanos asks his uncle, who is a doctor, for help. The injured man soon succumbs, and the doctor reports the incident. Thus, Kostas and Aliki are forced to turn themselves in to the police. What follows is a trial and conviction.

The June episode of the Incluvie Movie Highlights provides 3 new and buzzworthy films presenting different types of love: Good Luck to You, Leo Grande with intimacy, Father of the Bride with familial love, and this month's feature - Fire Island, with intimate and romantic love. Movie Critic Melanie Ojwang joins us to discuss Emergency.
Movie explained - Despite the glaring flaws present, Young Adult Matters is held together by the performances from Yoo Mi and Hani, who keep the story afloat. Though an interesting story, Young Adult Matters is worth watching solely for these performances. Among its brilliant performances is a messy, self-indulgent, and at times overwhelmingly brutal story with more potential than follow through.
I hate the idea that animation’s for kids; just because it’s animated doesn’t mean that it’s some silly cartoon and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
An indie production of a romantic drama with a country-western feel meant to explore lost love.
Omaha reminds us of what it can feel like to look at old family photographs. You sit with the bittersweetness, allowing it to wash over you; not drowning in it, but certainly affected by it.
