Heat waves are hitting the northern hemisphere hard this season, and that heat seems to have seeped into our July calendar of Sundance Institute–supported new releases. Out of the four films heading to the big screen this month, two follow characters looking for sex — one hoping to even the score after her fiancé uses his celebrity sex pass, and another pursuing a sexual arrangement with his boss — while a third features an erotically charged relationship between a night nurse and a retirement community resident running financial scams.
But if steamy searches aren’t your thing, have no fear; we can also offer you three insightful documentaries to choose from. Arriving in theaters this July is the Festival award–winning chronicle of the life and career of Luis Valdez, the “Shakespeare of Chicano theater” and the storyteller behind Zoot Suit and La Bamba. And if you’d prefer to explore new releases from the comfort of home, coming to the small screen this month are a series about a high school sociology class that helped revive an investigation into a serial killer, as well as a lyrical meditation on the lives and legacies of Kalief and Venida Browder and the critical need for prison reform.
