Why watch this film?
It is undeniable that 'Penguin Bloom' is one of those sensitive, delicate, and emotional films. After all, it's hard not to shed a few tears when we see on the screen the relationship between an injured bird and a woman (Naomi Watts) who recently suffered a serious accident. The animal enters her life, her husband's and her children's. However, unfortunately, director Glendyn Ivin ('Crying Out') does not know how to give a single tone to this real story. Sometimes it is an emotional Afternoon Session. But sometimes it is also a drama about overcoming. In the end, the best solution is to leave the labels aside and enjoy the beauty of this so simple and inspiring story.

Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
