  • Village East Cinema 181 2nd Avenue New York, NY, 10003 United States (map)
  • LESFF will open its 15th year with the New York Premiere of The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick, directed by Pete Ohs (Love and Work) and starring Zoë Chao (Nightbitch), Jeremy O. Harris (Slave Play on Broadway, Zola), Callie Hernandez (La La Land), and James Cusati-Moyer (Maestro). The film follows a weekend retreat gone unsettlingly wrong—homemade meals, parlor games, and an ominous tick bite that unravels reality.
