2.6The controversial satire The LA Riot Spectacular plays for mordent laughs the events that consumed L.A. in 1992, after the police officers on trial for beating motorist Rodney King were found innocent.

Sunday at Il Posto Accanto is a deeply personal, hybrid film blending documentary techniques with narrative storytelling. Set in a beloved East Village restaurant during the early days of reopening after the pandemic, it stars Victor Rasuk, Danny Hoch, and the real people who made the place a sanctuary for community. At once funny and poignant, the film is a meditation on grief, resilience, and the small rituals—both absurd and sacred—that keep us connected. It’s rich with character, brimming with the kind of imperfect charm only real life can deliver. Il Posto is about a neighborhood, a family—chosen and otherwise—and the quiet beauty of coming together after isolation. Made on a modest budget with a lot of heart, it captures a moment in time when the simple act of gathering felt nothing short of holy.
