'Nowhere' is directed by Albert Pintó and written by Ernest Riera, Miguel Ruz, Indiana Lista, Seanne Winslow & Teresa Rosendoy. A young pregnant woman named Mia (Anna Castillo) escapes from a country at war by hiding in a maritime container aboard a cargo ship. After a violent storm, Mia gives birth to the child while lost at sea, where she must fight to survive.
'65' is written & directed by Scott Beck & Bryan Woods. A pilot (Adam Driver) crashes on an unknown planet and attempts to escape while surviving with a young girl (Ariana Greenblatt).
'VHS/85' is directed by David Bruckner, Scott Derrickson, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Natasha Kermani, Mike P. Nelson and written by C. Robert Cargill, Zoe Cooper, Scott Derrickson, Evan Dickson, Mike P. Nelson, Gigi Saul Guerrero. An ominous broadcast brings viewers forgotten nightmares of the 1980s: a disaster recovery crew unleashes the wrath of an ancient god; a lake that brings the dead back to life; a performance art piece makes contact with a creature from the beyond; an all-guns-out undead bloodbath, and a disturbing vision of videotaped murders.
'Cry, The Beloved Country' is directed by Zoltán Korda and written by Alan Paton, who adapted his 1948 book. A black minister, Stephen Kumalo (Canada Lee) lives a quiet life as a parish priest in the back country of South Africa. When his son, Absolom, leaves the small valley where he grew up for the bright lights of the city, he goes missing. After several months of silence, the minister goes to search for him and comes face to face with the squalor and poverty of the Johannesburg slums. Reverend Msimangu (Sidney Poitier) is a young clergyman who joins him in his search, but neither are prepared for what they will discover.
'The Mill' is directed by Sean King O'Grady and written by Jeffrey David Thomas. A businessman (Lil Rel Howery) wakes up beside an ancient grist mill situated in the center of an open-air prison cell with no idea how he got there. Forced to work as a beast of burden to stay alive, he must find a way to escape before the birth of his child.
