Why watch this film?
O que fazer quando a situação financeira aperta, nos obrigando a viver de forma mais simples - e com um misto de nostalgia e melancolia dos dias do passado? Esse é o ponto inicial de ‘As Herdeiras’, longa-metragem de estreia do diretor Marcelo Martinessi e que foi extremamente elogiado durante a temporada de festivais, inclusive vencendo o prêmio da crítica e o Urso de Prata de Melhor Atriz no Festival de Berlim. Reconhecimento merecido, não só pela mão de Martinessi, mas também pela grande atuação de Ana Brun - que dá vida a uma mulher de 50 e poucos anos que precisa lidar com a necessidade de redescobrir a vida. O resultado é uma história envolvente, mas que mantém um subtexto social.

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.
