In this sensually filmed and courageous first feature, director Tali Shalom Ezer explores the blurred line between tender sex and real love. When 32-year-old Eli develops intimacy and trust with Hagar, a sexual surrogate assigned by his therapist, the question of whether he is really loved comes up not only in session, but also in his emotional relationships with his mother, his sister and his beloved eight-year-old nephew, whom Eli protects from all possible damages to children his family did not protect him against. Winner of Best Film at the Israeli International Women's Film Festival, Surrogate exposes the frailty and strength of human connection. US Premiere. —Sandy Handsher

The Marina Experiment In a powerful, but disturbing examination of her father's obsession with taking home movies, 10,000 photographs, and audio recordings for 16 years of his daughter's life, Marina Lutz presents the audience with documentary evidence of the difference between love and child abuse. Lutz intercuts her father's movie of a bullfight next to his photos of his child's most private moments, creating a metaphor she means as an inevitable yet socially acceptable killing. —Sandy Handsher
