Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Fingernails, followed by an in-person conversation with director Christos Nikou, moderated by Jenelle Riley (Deputy Awards and Features Editor, Variety).

Anna and Ryan have found true love. It’s been proven by a controversial new technology. There’s just one problem: Anna still isn’t sure. Then she takes a position at a love testing institute, and meets Amir.

Fingernails played at the Telluride, Toronto International, and BFI London film festivals in 2023.

From Apple Original Films, Fingernails will be released November 3 in theaters and on Apple TV+.
