There are films from all over. It should be called the Queens ~ World Film Festival. There is a focus on shorts which is how a lot of filmmakers get started.

Opening Night

The Festival opens with a series of shorts at the Museum of the Moving Image on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 7pm.


Queens World Film Festival Latin Films

Hawaii

2018 Romanian film directed by Jesús del Cerro.

Thursday, March 28 at 7:30pm

Andrei and his father Vasile live in the communist Romania. Unexpectedly, they receive news from Petrus, Vasile ´s brother who was assumed dead after an escape attempt years before. Petrus was living in Hawaii all this time and on his death has left Andrei and Vasile a large legacy.

They cannot inherit it, however, as the concept of private property does not exist in communist Romania. The only alternative left to them is to try and claim their inheritance via a free country.

Mia

2018 Jewish film directed by Galia Barkol.

Saturday, March 30 at 7:30pm

Since losing her ability to dance due to an injury, Mia has escaped life in Tel-Aviv for a temporary life in Brooklyn. She lives in a dorm room, where she suffers from insomnia due to the noise in and outside of her head. She takes origami classes, and to support herself, she works as a cat sitter for Justin, a married, sales agent who is only in New York on the weekends.

Mia finds comfort in her employer’s quiet, empty space and in his cat, and eventually secretly stays in his bed on the nights when he’s away. When he returns to NY earlier than expected, and catches her in his bed, she is mortified. Determined to prove to him that she is “not that kind of person,” she offers to take him out to dinner, leading the pair into an unexpected friendship and living situation.
