Something strange is going on behind the doors of Raven Advertising. It's Alice Blue's first day on the job and already she has set her sights on creating an impressive ad campaign for an important American wine company, not too mention the agency's top creative director, Stephen. Some may have the opinion that the advertising industry is full of blood-sucking vampires, but at Raven Advertising this may be literally the case. Alice befriends a group of co-workers who call themselves "The Resistance," led by the lovelorn Peter, who are convinced something very sinister is at work at Raven and Alice is somehow the key to unravelling the mystery. There is something about The Death of Alice Blue that has a quintessential Canadian feel to it. Filled with dark dry humor and a pleasant quirkiness that is evident from the acting to the costumes to the set design, it finds new life in the old story of the world's most famous undead.

A spiritual journey takes a strange and disturbing turn in this drama from Mexican filmmaker Rodrigo Plá (La Zona). It is the 1928 Mexican Revolution. Churches are closed, and priests have been forced to leave the communities they have served. After Elias and his wife become parents of a baby boy, he is determined to have his child baptized so he travels into town to bring back a priest to perform the ceremony. When government troops learn of this treachery, the entire village brutally pays for Elias’ actions. Elias becomes convinced that he will be condemned for his actions, and he flees to the desert to build an immense church to atone for his sins. During their exile it becomes clear that his children do not share his convictions, and the father’s devotion begins to resemble madness. The Desert Within is a true epic work, dealing in grand themes such as faith, devotion, and redemption and playing out in a beautiful yet stark desert landscape.
