There are not thirty-six ways of showing a man getting on a horse

This film started from a singular idea: to illustrate the phrase of the American director Raoul Walsh, who worked in the first half of the 20th century, which gives the film its title, by making a compilation of all the characters that ride horses in his films. But the film grows beyond the compilation film, or even the essay film, to become something bigger and more idiosyncratic, with a hint of a detective story.

Thirst

An Icelandic vampire film centered on Hjörtur, an insolent 1,000-year-old gay vampire who meets Hulda, a millennial drug addict who tries to find out who killed her brother (a crime for which she was initially arrested). In this Nordic noir, together they end up having a connection, while facing enemies on several fronts — from a cult that anticipates the end of the world to a detective who decides to do justice alone.
