Synopsis - "Harrison's Flowers"

Immersing herself into a world she never fathomed, Sarah embarks on a perilous journey to find Harrison (David Strathairn), her husband, colleague and father of their two children. The Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist is missing on an assignment in a country far, far from home. He is presumed dead by his associates and his editor Samuel Brubeck (Alun Armstrong).

But it is Sarah who leaves others in disbelief, hell-bent in her pursuit to find Harrison - dead or alive. Rather than convincing her to turn back, she convinces Harrison's colleagues to forge ahead. In helping Sarah, fellow photojournalists Kyle (Adrien Brody), Stevenson (Brendan Gleeson) and Harrison's best friend Yeager (Elias Koteas) find a new perspective in the midst of this horrendous battle of brother against brother. Armed solely with their camera lenses, all muster a courage they never knew they had.

Synopsis - "Kissing Jessica Stein"
When we first meet Jessica – a sensitive but neurotic New York journalist – she is at the end of her emotional rope. Her brother’s engaged, her best friend’s pregnant, she hasn’t dated in a year, and she can’t sleep.

After an optimistic but nightmarish dating spree, she happens upon an intriguing personal ad, whose only drawback is that it’s in the ‘women seeking women’ section. On a daring whim, she decides to answer it. She meets funky downtown hipster Helen Cooper for drinks and, to her surprise, they click instantly. Their evening of banter, connection and heated debate culminates in a kiss that confounds and intrigues even the reluctant Jessica.

With conventional gender roles absent, the two women proceed to muddle through an earnest, but hilarious courtship, making up the rules as they go along.
