Trailer
Why watch this film?
Strong, urgent and relentless, 'Current Sea' explores the effects of environmental destruction and global warming on the oceans. In this case, more specifically, we follow investigative journalist Matt Blomberg and ocean activist Paul Ferber on their dangerous mission to create a marine preserve to confront the relentless tide of illegal fishing in Cambodia. It's a documentary that shows a compelling microcosm of man's effects on nature, bringing important reflections on people's role in preserving oceans, forests, rivers and so on. And all of this, what's best, with an exciting thriller package thanks to the consistent direction of Christopher Smith (from the acclaimed 'TINY'), who is always aware of the risks of filming.

The Banishing
Movies about haunted houses with tragic pasts, there are many, and while 'The Banishing' doesn't bring something new to the table, it's a very well-made production within its genre. Directed by Christopher Smith (‘Tides of Fate’) and starring Jessica Brown Findlay (‘Downton Abbey’), the movie follows a reverend and his family during the 1930s, whose idyllic existence in their new home is disturbed by a sinister discovery. The production was selected for the Sitges Film Festival (one of the most important for fantasy and horror cinema), and will satisfy fans of gothic terror.
Consecration
‘Consecration' is a horror movie that, similar to offerings like 'Saint Maud' and 'The Dark and the Wicked,' relies more on abstract ideas and a psychologically dense atmosphere. The film is led by Jena Malone (The Neon Demon), in the role of a woman investigating the mysterious death of her brother, a priest, in a convent. It's a more reflective production that leans less on sudden jumpscares. If you prefer your horror movies a bit more cerebral and atmospheric, ‘Consecration' will undoubtedly be for you.
Documentary
The Woman of Stars and Mountains
Rita Patiño, an indigenous woman from Mexico, was found by a human rights organization inside a Kansas psychiatric hospital, where she had been involuntarily confined, for 12 years, despite the fact that the hospital authorities were never able to determine who was this woman, where did she come from, or what language she spoke. After the consequences of confinement and medical negligence, Rita returned to Mexico, where she lives with Juanita, her niece, and primary caregiver, in a context of precarious economic possibilities. A moving portrait of the lives of these two Tarahumara women, questioning the multiple forms of racism and discrimination that indigenous women in Mexico and the United States face.
