GOD FORBID is executive produced by Corben and Alfred Spellman for Rakontur and Adam McKay and Todd Schulman of HyperObject. Legendary Miami-based filmmakers, Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman, are scheduled to attend. GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY  Mystery, Crime | Dir. RIAN JOHNSON   Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc, a master detective taking on another mystery case with colorful suspects. Embarking on a new adventure, Blanc will have more to uncover on a getaway to a millionaire's private island.

THE WHALE Drama | Dir. DARREN ARONOFSKY   Brendan Fraser makes a long-awaited return to Hollywood, and poises himself as this season’s strongest Best Actor contender, as Charlie, a reclusive English teacher suffering from severe obesity attempting to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter. As he attempts to reconcile his personal relationships, he also begins to make amends with himself and learn how to accept his current situation.  WOMEN TALKING  Drama | Dir. SARAH POLLEY   After years of believing the crimes on women were committed by mythical creatures, eight Mennonite women discover the true culprits – the men in their isolated colony. Faced with a struggle to reconcile their reality and their faith, they undergo a critical journey of identity and justice. Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley and Frances McDormand star in this adaptation of the novel by Miriam Toews. THE FABELMANS Drama | Dir. STEVEN SPIELBERG   Rounding up this season's jewels is the Best Picture frontrunner with a special virtual Precious Gem Award presentation to Paul Dano. A cinematic memoir and tribute to filmmaking, this semi-autobiography loosely based on Spielberg's early life is told through an original story of the fictional Sammy Fabelman, a young aspiring filmmaker growing up in post-war Arizona.
