Mutiny In Heaven: The Birthday Party

Before the Bad Seeds, there was The Birthday Party, the seminal Australian band that marked the beginning of Nick Cave’s career. This is the first time that the members themselves have told the story in the first person, from the start to the collapse, and been candid about those formative years. Particularly remembered for their anarchic concerts where anything could happen, the film comprises archive footage and photographs, mixed with animation.

A psychological thriller that marks the feature film debut of Iceland’s Helena Stefánsdóttir. In Reykjavík, Lilja searches for her place in a dance group and navigates the strangeness of her grandparents’ house, a strangeness that is peeled away in eccentric rituals, with a swimming pool in a basement as an additional and mysterious element, until the discovery of a family secret with ruinous consequences.

Night Shift

During the night shift, we visited a museum and a theatre. In one, a guard wanders the corridors, in the other, an actor prepares to go on stage. People and institutions become porous in their boundaries.

Nocturne for a forest

In the 15th century, in Portugal, a group of monks built a wall around a forest and prevented the entry of women. But the hands of the living cannot control everything: in the invisible world, where night reigns and only souls light up the forest, women have built their kingdom of invisibility, without walls.

Nome

It’s 1969 and the Portuguese Colonial War is raging in Guinea-Bissau. But before we dive into the conflict, we see the day-to-day life of the protagonist, Nome, his relationships with his mother and the woman he is in love with. But Nome won’t stay in the village much longer and will give his body and soul to the armed struggle with the PAIGC guerrillas (African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde). He becomes a hero tormented by everything that has happened.

not A fairy tale

Unusual manoeuvres promoted by a street lamp, which brings the strangest animalistic visitors to the city. It could be a lie, but it’s the purest of truths.

Nube

Noma is a fluffy white cloud, just like the ones that appear on sunny days. But her daughter is dark and stormy — which wouldn’t be a problem, except for the possibility of her dissolving into rain too soon.

The presentation of a marketing video made by an agency for a company leads to awkward moments, especially problematic these days. With a strong ironic touch, it’s a comedy of embarrassments.

Ojitos mentirosos

A film that plays with deception. Trompe-l’œil is, in itself, a pictorial genre designed to play with and create elements of confusion in the viewer’s perception. The film takes us through the streets of Madrid in search of these ingredients, but it also cooks them in its own cinematic recipe.

On the Go

The secret is not to stop. This is a film that takes the concept of the road movie and runs with it, pushing the sense of chaos and pandemonium to the limits to give us the story of a moment in the life of an unlikely trio, three different people who end up being a force to be reckoned with. Milagros, Jonathan and La Reina de Triana navigate the vicissitudes of identity, sexuality and desire, but always with a modern and, above all, non-conformist slant.

He’s an actor and this is his opening night. She came to see him, thinking she’d say goodbye before leaving town. Between them, there’s still the love that sustained their relationship until it couldn’t, and now they’re dealing with the broken fragments of their hearts as best they can.

Paradiso, XXXI, 108

A collage of found footage that blurs the lines between reality and fiction, recreation and truth. Israeli military manoeuvres are decontextualised, and the footage makes us think about the double violence of war records and the link between the image and concrete reality.

Pedágio

A toll booth worker decides to combine her official job with a more unofficial, perhaps illegal one. What matters is the extra money because she has an odd goal: she wants her own son to undergo a “gay cure” propagated by a famous foreign pastor.

Pepe

Pepe, as he was nicknamed by the Colombian media, was the first and last hippopotamus to be killed in the Americas. This is how a story within a story within a story begins. The power of oral tradition is underlined in this film in which our animal-narrator leads us, ghost-like, to think about the past and the beings who died without knowing their real circumstances.
