Hate Crime
92 min / Drama / PG-13
Steven Esteb
​
As a killer is executed for murdering a young gay man,
two sets of parents struggle to deal with the consequences
of fear and repression. As the clock ticks toward midnight
and the execution, these two families are on a collision
course to confront how this happened and who is to blame.
Stark and foreboding, this story is told between the lines.
It tells you nothing, but you know everything. It compels
you to dig deep into the lives of these characters and
challenges you not to care. It is an emotional journey,
with unforgettable performances, unveiled through jarring
revelations. Right out of the headlines, it is an American
tragedy that happens all too often. But this film is not
about politics or morality or culture. It’s about a family.

HEAR THE SILENCE
95 min / Drama / PG-13
Ed Ehrenberg
​
This is the story of the men and women at the time of
the German attack on Russia in 1941. A small, lost unit
of German soldiers is looking for shelter in a remote,
snowy small village in the Ukraine. They got separated
from their company during battle and now they are deep
within enemy territory cut off from the German troops.
The soldiers have to make a stop in the village in order
to get provisions and transport so that they can join
their troops again - maybe a very dangerous thing to do.
HEAR THE SILENCE is a parable about the loss of innocence
during times of war that results in brutal preventive
actions. People get trapped in an unstoppable circle of
violence.
