Leaving October 1

Directed by Prashanth Kamalakanthan and Artemis Shaw | 78 mins | 2023
Two young lovers snag a sweet apartment for their New York getaway... and run smack into lockdown in this nervy pandemic comedy, which won a Special Jury Award at the 2023 Rotterdam International Film Festival.. Kallia and Ram (played by co-directors Shaw and Kamalakanthan) grapple with whether their relationship, or their minds, can handle the close-up scrutiny of their absurd situation, sketched out with a wry eye for detail.
