"Good forgeries are tiny works of art." Kino Lorber has revealed an official US trailer for an indie German film titled The Forger, based on the true story of Cioma Schönhaus. This initially premiered at the 2022 Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, and it opens in Germany soon with no US date set yet - expected in the next few months. Set in 1940 in Berlin, the film is about a young Jewish man who pretends to be a marine to escape being identified and arrested by the Nazis. He then joins a network of underground rescuers and becomes infamous for his masterfully forged IDs – created with just a brush, some ink, and a steady hand – that save the lives of hundreds of Jews by allowing them to escape. Louis Hofmann stars as Cioma, with Luna Wedler as his lover, Jonathan Berlin, Nina Gummich, André Jung, Marc Limpach, Yotam Ishay, Luc Feit,...

"RoboCop, Roboshmop... here comes a Robokid!" High Octane Pictures has debuted an official trailer for a super wacky, indie sci-fi film from Israel called Robot Awakening. Sometimes low budget, funky sci-fi comedies turn out good, sometimes they don't. This is the latter. The film was once known as Omg, I'm a Robot! and it first premiered at film festivals way back in 2016. The comedy is about a guy who randomly discovers he's actually a robot - then embarks on a quest to find his missing girlfriend. Yeah, not much going on here. Starring Yotam Ishay as Danny, with Hili Yalon, Tzahi Grad, Dror Keren, Inna Bakelman, Nelly Tagar, David Kigler, Ori Yaniv, and Rob Schneider. As bad as this looks, I can't help share the trailer as there's just something quirky and appealing about the way it looks that you must see. Check it out. Here's the new official trailer...

Totally off-kilter, sexy and stylish in a distinctly grungy, almost '90s sort of way, Joe + Belle is the story of two young women who meet and fall in love under bizarre, darkly hilarious circumstances. A creative tour-de-force for star/director/writer Veronica Kedar, it manages to say something deep about love and violence while still offering all the gallows humor you could hope for.
Warning: Some spoilers
We meet Joe (Kedar), a sexy, devil-may-care drug dealer, as she arrives home to Tel Aviv after a productive drug run in Bangkok. Her voiceover is all pouty post-modern depression, and her recent ex-boyfriend, Matan (Yotam Ishay), won’t stop calling her. She meets up with Abigail (Romi Aboulafia), a friend and fellow dealer, and goes home to her apartment, ready to relax in the shower.
We meet Belle (Sivan Levy), our other leading lady, as her mother picks her up from...
