Trailer
Why watch this film?
Presented at Sundance, San Sebastián, and Tribeca festivals, among others, 'This Is Not Berlin' is a semi-autobiographical film by Mexican director Hari Sama ('El sueño de Lú', 'Despertar el polvo'), depicting a very specific moment in the history of Mexico City and its surroundings. Within the “coming of age” movies genre, this one portrays a rising subculture, with a protagonist (Xabiani Ponce de León) on his very personal quest for identity, while the world's eyes were set on Mexico for the World Cup, not long after the devastating 1985 earthquake. With a punk rock spirit and an hallucinating aesthetic that reflects both the internal turbulence of its characters, as well as the social, political, and ideological convulsions worldwide; this film is more than a biographical work, it is a time capsule of a Mexico in search of a transformation that we now know was thwarted.

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.
