AN AVOCADO PIT

Larissa, a trans woman, and Cláudio, a cis man, meet one night in the streets of Lisbon. They dance their differences away until morning light in challenge, in surprise, in awe and in recognition.

EEVA

It's a sad day in Eeva's life. The rain is pouring down at her husband's funeral. There is a lot of crying, too much wine, and a couple of strange dreams fill in the gaps.

HOW WE GET FREE

Every night 500,00 people sleep in US jails not convicted of any crime because they can’t afford bail. On the front lines in the struggle to end cash bail for good, prison abolitionist Elisabeth Epps moves from grassroots activism to running for public office.

NǍI NAI & WÀI PÓ (GRANDMA & GRANDMA)

Nǎi Nai is my grandma. Wài Pó is also my grandma. Together, they are a grandma super team that dances, stretches, and farts their sorrows away.

OASIS

Twins at the dawn of their teenage years, Raphaël and Rémi’s relationship changes as one of them, suffering from an increasingly marked disability, remains a prisoner of childhood. During one last summer surrounded by nature, time seems to want to stand still.

ABOUT OUR FESTIVAL

Launched in 1990, the Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF) is a premier presenter of world cinema located in the beautiful Coachella Valley at the base of Mt. San Jacinto in southern California. The Festival brings together a sophisticated and diverse audience, including industry, film aficionados from across the country and filmmakers from around the world.

The 35th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival is scheduled to be held physically from January 4 - 15, 2024. The annual star-studded Film Awards, honoring the best and brightest performances of the year, is scheduled for January 4, 2024.

PSIFF is mounted by the Palm Springs International Film Society, a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization, whose mission is to cultivate and promote the art and science of film through education and cross-cultural awareness.
