SCREENING WITH Q&A

45th Parallel

A library that inhabits two sides of a border, as a space that houses stories as close as they are far apart and that becomes a meeting point, in a central way. A reflection on the (im)permeability of borders.

Ode to Loneliness

A film that explores loneliness and isolation and what being alone teaches us about ourselves. Between the routine inside and the promise of activity outside, everything blurs and blends in this cocoon that is also a window.

House of the Wickedest Man in the World

The Abbey of Thelema in Sicily was a small house used in the 1920s for magical rituals by Aleister Crowley, the famous occultist with links to Fernando Pessoa, and his followers. Years later, experimental director Kenneth Anger and sexologist Alfred Kinsey visit the place.
