Bird in the Peninsula

A hypnotic film that starts with a group of young men dancing, trying to follow the teacher’s instructions. An initiation ritual forbidden to girls. Even if one is peeking.

Blue Has No Dimensions

Yves Klein said that blue was beyond dimensions. This film draws us into those of someone who believes they will disappear on her 28th birthday, like a prophecy.

Camouflage

The mother of writer Félix Bruzzone disappeared in 1976 from Campo de Mayo, one of the main clandestine detention centers of the then established Argentinian dictatorship. Today, it is one of the largest military units in the country. Bruzzone is determined to find someone to help him explore this space, a symbol of a very particular and also collective pain — his experiences inspire Jonathan Perel, who accompanies him.

Can Gardell

With a fun deadpan humour, the Gardells have to change the way they experience their farm and resort to the possibility of embarking on the world of agricultural tourism.

Case History

It is through an exploration of home movies that the director revisits his childhood, through a lens that questions gender identity, without recognizing who he was.

Cesária Évora

The “barefoot diva”, the iconic Cesária Évora in a documentary that shows never-before-seen footage and offers a never-before-explored view of the life of the Cape Verdean singer who, though not corresponding to the normal model of success, was able to overcome all the conditions that would normally keep her out of the limelight. This is the story of a black African woman, over fifty years old and from a poor background, whose only dream was to be free.

Churchill, Polar Bear Town

The town of Churchill, Canada, becomes a hotspot for polar bears from October to November. This fact gives rise to both tourism, the possibility of seeing a bear up close, and unexpected attacks, blurring the line between civilized and wild.

Classic Lesbian Films: Dyketactics

An exploration of the identity of the woman as a lesbian, which mixes the materiality of the film with the tangibility of the female body, creating an aesthetic of its own.

Coffin Homes

The satire couldn’t be clearer about Hong Kong’s housing problems, its high prices and the conditions it puts those without means. Hence the “coffin houses” that give its name to this black comedy, which winks at the insufficiency of square meters, as well as at this fictional predicament regarding people who assent to live in haunted houses. Full of exacerbated violence, an anthological film with several stories to tell.

Coma

When the pandemic changed all plans, Bertrand Bonello took a handful of actors (and the voice of Gaspard Ulliel) to make socially distant cinema and Coma is an ode to what it’s like to be stranded at home A film dedicated to his daughter, whose on-screen persona spends the day looking at small screen of a phone, making the most of all the possibilities that this mini-mirror offers for us to feel connected to the world. Until what is real and what is narrative collide resoundingly. What matters is that it’s #content.

Constant

A film about something as seemingly simple as the issue of measurement reveals something insidious about the existing systems. And a line is drawn between the standardization of how something is measured to systems of power, democracies and censorship

Convenience Store

Mukhabbat, a young and vulnerable immigrant from Uzbekistan, is the figure through which this film explores modern forms of slavery: when circumstances and lack of civil rights are so violent that people work without any pay. In Convenience Store, Mukhabbat works under these abusive conditions. Until the day when despair drives her to action. Images of violence against women that can be considered sensitive.

Correspondences

Jorge de Sena went into exile to Brazil and later to the United States. Although he never returned to Portugal, he maintained an epistolary correspondence with Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. Given the political circumstances, the letters — and the film — offer their thoughts on the period of the Portuguese fascist regime, but above all, they are a testament to the affinity between two poets, what keeps them connected and their love for the written word.

Cow

If cinema is a machine that generates empathy, as Roger Ebert said, this is evidence of that. There are few words in this documentary by Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Big Little Lies), her first foray into the genre, but they’re not really necessary. We follow the life of cow Luma in a mechanised farm environment, since her early calf-hood to the end of her life. Images of animal treatment that may be considered sensitive.

Deadly Weapons

The first of two films by Doris Wishman with burlesque performer Chesty Morgan as Crystal, a woman who uses unusual methods to exact revenge on the mobsters who killed her boyfriend. By seducing each one, she incapacitates her victims and suffocates them with her breasts. A brief clip appears in the film Serial Mom, by John Waters.

Detours

The detours from the title are more like treasure-hunts to which Denis subjects his clients, who only want the stashes of drugs he’s hiding in the melancholic landscapes of Moscow. Everywhere is a place he could add to this game, although we lose sight of this naughty guide to visit other figures that populate the city. Between the anonymity of the Darknet and policing and oppression, this city contains multiple dimensions.

Diary of a Nudist

In one of the director’s first nudie cuties, the nudist colony is the right starting point to explore the possibility of showing many people naked on screen. It is the opening of this controversial colony that leads a journalist to infiltrate it, hoping to denounce the premises. Circumstances quickly change and the journalist becomes a nudist.
