The Scary Movie

Two little girls, vampire capes and a penchant for fun. This is how they play with the recurring and classic motifs of horror films, playing with gender identities and power dynamics.

The Souvenir: Part II

The second part of a portrait of the director as a young woman, built from autobiographical and metatextual brushstrokes, such as the inclusion of the family duo Honor Swinton Byrne and Tilda Swinton. After a tragic occurrence, Julie (Swinton Byrne) rechannels her heartbreak into her art, which has also been transformed into a personal fantasy as a graduation film. And as everything progresses, she grows.

The Sower of Stars

Patiño films Tokyo at night as if it were something out of a dream, under the signs of solitude and futurism. The hypnotic quality of the images, where the city lights lull us, is enhanced by the poetry of the narration, like a book of aphorisms.

The Timekeepers of Eternity

Ten strangers wake up on a red-eye from Boston to Los Angeles, discovering, in a panic, that the rest of the passengers and crew have disappeared. So begins a novella by Stephen King, later adapted into a mini-series by Tom Holland, in 1995. Now, it is Holland’s TV show that is transformed and reconstructed through animation and collage techniques in this experimental film that enhances the themes and the actors’ performances. A hypnotic descent into madness.

The Very Eye of the Night

A celestial choreography that tells us about the absolute liberation of references and narrative. Against a starry sky, figures (students at the Metropolitan Opera Ballet School in New York) show us the inner universe one enters when one falls asleep.

This House

How to re-imagine a tragedy from the first decade of the 2000s? That’s the spark that illuminates this film. Ten years after the apparent suicide of a teenager, the history of this loss is rethought, still affecting the present, with the promise of what this girl’s future could have been. In a story that triangulates Haiti, Canada and the United States, Tessa returns to the world through the power of cinema.

Unrest

A story about anarchy and watchmaking that gets its name from the intricate piece that forms the “heart” of the watch. We are in the 19th century, in St. Imier, Switzerland, a place dedicated to the manufacture of watches and where Josephine works. As she learns new ways of thinking about money, labour and, of course, time, she becomes involved in the anarchist watchmaking movement, where she meets Pyotr Kropotkin.

Urban Solutions

A film that creates a contrast between the experience of a European artist in Brazil, in colonial times, and an actuality populated by doormen who observe the lives of their buildings, reflecting on those who inhabit them, as well as on their own profession.

Waters of Pastaza

It is along the Pastaza River, which travels from Ecuador to Peru, that we find the Achuar community that Inês T. Alves visited, without necessarily intending to make a film. But the curiosity and independence of the children she met — fluent in fishing, cooking or crafts — resulted in this documentary.

We, Students!

When you’re a student and you live far from your parents, friends are family. Friends study together, eat together, share everything and have no secrets, almost believing it will always be that way. But life has other plans, and the University of Bangui, in the Central African Republic, is just a synecdoche for a weary country.
