Steve James ("Hoop Dreams," "The Interrupters") profiles a small bank run by Chinese immigrants, the only bank to be prosecuted after the 2008 meltdown, "Abacus: Small Enough to Jail."
Our gal Alia Shawkat and the great Janet McTeer star as the girlfriend and mom of a young man who has committed suicide, in Amber Tamblyn's debut behind the camera, "Paint It Black."
From Argentina, a drama set in an artist's residency as intrigue of Shakespearean proportions envelops two women there, "Hermia and Helena."

A profile of a teenage dissident who rallied others into the streets of Hong Kong in 2014, "Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower."
Fred Armison, as the wacky neighbor, may be enough to draw us to Zoe Lister-Jones' twee-looking directorial debut about a couple who channel their arguments into songs, "Band Aid."
