Why watch this film?
Directed and written by Bob Fosse (the legendary dancer, actor, choreographer, and director of the original 1972 'Cabaret'), 'All That Jazz' is an autobiographical musical drama, partially inspired by Fosse's mind-bending experience while trying to mount 'Chicago' on Broadway and finish his film 'Lenny' at the same time. Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival and winner of four Oscars (including Best Original Score), 'All That Jazz' certainly echoes Federico Fellini's '8 ½', filmed in an exhausting period for the artist. This film, however, brings the show to the forefront with its great music, choreography, and performances from legends such as Roy Scheider ('Jaws'), Jessica Lange ('1976's King Kong'), Ben Vereen (Tony Award winner for 'Pippin'), and John Lithgow ('Obsession'), among others.

Drama
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
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.
