It’s the last gas for 200 miles. Except this morning, the fuel truck hasn’t shown up, so there’s no gas at all. Half a dozen travellers have no choice but to wait it out in the diner next door: a salesman (Jim Cummings), an elderly couple on vacation, a local who likes to shoot the shit with the waitress (Jocelin Donahue) even though she’s married to the local sheriff… and two bank robbers just itching to get the hell out of Yuma. Francis Galluppi’s sun-baked neo-noir harks back to Reservoir Dogs and Red Rock West: it’s clammy (the air-con is out), mean, and it takes no prisoners.
The Last Stop In Yuma County tells a simple story but does so in an extraordinary way. It’s a film you won’t forget for a long, long time.

The Road to Patagonia
A travelogue, an eco doc, an adventure movie and a love story, The Road to Patagonia chronicles filmmaker and ecologist Mayy Hannon's 50,000 km expedition from Alaska to the tip of Chile (via Vancouver Island), on motorbike, horse, and surfboard.
Sex
Two chimney sweeps living in heterosexual marriages find their views on sexuality and gender challenged by a series of unexpected events. In a set of sharply scripted conversations, both men confront heretofore unexplored aspects of their identity.
Love
This warm, thoughtful piece offers shrewd comic observations on modern dating as it trains a quizzical eye on the trysts of a female doctor, Marianne (Andrea Bræin Hovig), and her colleague, a gay male nurse, Tor (Tayo Cittadella Jacobsen).
