Why watch this film?
Nominated for four Goya Awards - the Oscar of Spain --, this biographical drama offers another angle on World War II in cinema. 'The Photographer of Mauthausen' is more than a recreation of Nazi atrocities in concentration camps, it tells the story of how images - cinema and photography - became the determining factor to bring justice to those responsible for the Holocaust after the end of the conflict.

Two
"Dos" is a Spanish horror movie that tells the story of two strangers who wake up together and discover they are sewn together through the abdomen, with no memory of how they got there. Gradually, they become increasingly suspicious of each other. Thus, they must piece together the puzzle and join forces if they want to escape their situation. Spain is already known for its horror films that have become genre classics, such as "REC," "Cronocrimes," "Orphanage," "The Bar," etc., and this movie does not stray too far from those mentioned. The plot is bizarre, grotesque, and the director knows how to work with this and turn it into an intense and frightening narrative. It is rare to see films that deviate from the obvious standard of horror nowadays, and "Dos" is a clear example of creativity and inventiveness in a world that is scarce in this regard.
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
