Among them were two of the three feature films in this year’s festival. James C. and Melissa Boratyn’s Ginger follows a 23-year-old recent college graduate who, aside from dealing with career uncertainty and familial pressure to succeed, has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Sanghoon Lee’s Banana Season is the tale of the unique relationship between a little person and an MMA cage fighter.
In addition to these heavier topics, there are lighthearted and comedic international selections. Sweden’s How It Feels to Be Hungover is the humorous tale of a man who wakes up in a clinic that specializes in curing hangovers and, in addition to receiving a prescription for ice cream and action movies, learns some news from the doctor that changes everything.
