Attica

In 1971, inmates at the American prison of Attica revolted. In an organized effort, they managed to take control of the D-yard and took 35 hostages after numerous peaceful attempts failed when it came to reforms within the institution. The film reveals the systemic injustices and abuses of power that resulted in this historic event.

Baking With Boris

Every morning, Boris does what he loves best: he prepares the dough, bakes the bread and still has time for pastries. Nothing gives him more pleasure than seeing his confections on his customers’ tables. Until the day something terrible happens: he becomes allergic to flour!

Balconies

An experimental short film that looks at all the balconies left unfinished in director Kamal Aljafari’s hometown of Ramla, in the central district of Israel. What are we to think when, to paraphrase García Lorca, our home is no longer our home?

Banzo

1907. Afonso starts life anew on a tropical island off the African coast, as a plantation physician. He is tasked with treating servants “infected” by Banzo, a profound homesickness fatal to many slaves who succumb to starvation or take their own lives. To prevent spreading, the group is sent to a secluded hill encircled by forest. Afonso tries to heal them, but understanding their spirits is a challenge stronger than any medical intervention.

Battery Mommy

This battery with a keen sense of duty works at a nursery with various tasks: being inside a thermometer, being inside a camera. Until the day she’s needed like never before, because the Christmas tree has caught fire and everyone is napping.

Between the Temples

A cantor in a synagogue named Ben is going through an existential crisis, but also a physical one, because the voice essential for his liturgical work is fading. But when his former schoolteacher returns to his life as a student for a future bat mitzvah, there’s a spark that ignites. An anxious but affectionate comedy starring Jason Schwartzman, Carol Kane, Dolly de Leon, Caroline Aaron, Robert Smigel, and Madeline Weinstein.

Between Us

A short film that plays with different fears and ways of reacting to the unexpected and unknown. We’re in Brussels, it’s late at night, and siblings Ousmane and Tiguidanké just need a little help, which they ask a passing couple for. An uncomfortable moment ensues.

Beyond Beach

Just before the apocalypse, we can still live in an illusion, a pastel-coloured dream. This moment of carelessness is explained by the absolute inability to have a care in the world.

Birds Whose Legs Break Off

Have you always wanted to see a short film whose premise is the presentation of increasingly absurd, hilarious and rollicking ways in which birds (and others) become legless? Then this is the movie for you.

Bolero

At first, the story seems to have an if not predictable, at least classic vein, in which someone who doesn’t fit in where they used to live now has to spend time there. However, some sketches of confrontation are diluted in what becomes a literal dance of increasing hypnotic force that captures everyone’s attention, impulses, and feelings.

Butterfly

We take the idea of a butterfly that flaps its wings and everything changes, and that’s exactly what happens in this painting-turned-cinema. A butterfly arrives and upsets all the daily harmony of these beings who live around a fountain in a garden.

Cidade; Campo

It is with a feeling of strangeness and unease that the film unfolds its stories about migration in opposite directions, from the countryside to the city (when Joana moves to São Paulo, near her sister Tania) and vice versa (when Flavia moves with Mara into her father’s abandoned house), with the vicissitudes that all changes bring. But it also opens the door to memory and the ghosts we carry wherever we go.
