Kim Min-young of the Report Card

A tender film set in a South Korea represented as dominated by consumption and capitalism, but where the character Jung-hee is able to maintain a relatively strong self-esteem. Her unattached situation (she is not at university, nor does she have a steady job) leads her to want to visit Kim Min-Young, a former high school classmate, and resume their relationship.

LISBON, happy and sad city

In the 1950s, Victor Palla and Manuel Costa, two architect friends, portrayed the city of Lisbon in more than 6000 photographs. These are published in an eponymous book circulated in installments, during Salazar’s regime, but forgotten during the following half century. After their deaths, it became the Portuguese photobook with the greatest international reach ever and this film is a tribute to the work of these two figures, which is now 100 years old.

Lucienne in a World Without Solitude

Medusa

In Medusa, Anita Rocha da Silveira’s Brazil is a state dominated by the forces of Christianity and fascism, where a group of young evangelicals function as a force of oppression, attacking any woman they consider “impure” or threatening in the face of the dogma they glorify. But not everything goes without resistance, even within this group of zealots, and Mariana, a young nursing student, begins to question everything she believes in.

Meet Me in the Bathroom

This documentary, based on the book of the same name by Lizzy Goodman, brings to the cinema the rebirth of rock’n’roll in the first decade of the 2000s, after 9/11, with the explosion of bands such as The Strokes, LCD SoundSystem, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio or Interpol. These bands and the alchemy of music they made in those years transformed New York and influenced a generation globally. For those who remember Napster, Vice and hipsters.
