A five-year-old Indian boy gets lost on the streets of Calcutta, thousands of kilometers from home. He survives many challenges before being adopted by a couple in Australia; 25 years later, he sets out to find his lost family. With just a small store of memories, a large store of determination and the help of a new technology called Google Earth, the young man embarks on a needle-in-a-haystack quest for the ages: going home again.
Starring Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman & Rooney Mara

Rising Star Hayden Szeto steals the show in our Red Carpet Matinee: The Edge of Seventeen. Don't miss his adorably awkward performance in the film and the post-screening awards presentation and conversation with this up and coming actor.
The Edge of Seventeen is a coming of age high school movie about junior Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld), who is already at peak awkwardness when her all-star older brother starts dating her best friend.
All at once, Nadine feels more alone than ever, until the unexpected friendship of a thoughtful boy (Hayden Szeto) gives her a glimmer of hope that things just might not be so terrible after all.
