Why watch this film?
It's not easy to reach old age and realize that you haven't left your mark on the world. Mr. Kaplan is all about that, about making a difference, even if it's too late - which ends up being quite funny moments in the movie.

At almost 76, he's become fed up with his community and family's lack of interest in its own heritage.

A Twelve-Year Night
Selected as part of the official selection of the Venice Film Festival and chosen by Uruguay to represent the country at the Oscars, '12 Years a Night' portrays an important and painful episode in the country's politics following the 1973 coup. With the onset of the civilian-military dictatorship, some prisoners who had fought in the guerilla were taken into military custody, and the military did everything they could to drive them mad. One of these prisoners - and the protagonist of this story - was none other than José Alberto "Pepe" Mujica Cordano, who would later leave prison to become the President of Uruguay. The feature film is based on the book 'Memories of the Dungeon', by Mauricio Rosencof and Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro, who were Mujica's fellow inmates for 12 years. A true story, but also an inspiring one that shows that dictatorships (from any side of the political spectrum) are always stupid.

Outsider Girls
Outsider Girls (original Spanish title: Las demás) is the feature film debut of Chilean filmmaker Alexandra Hyland as both director and screenwriter, and its art direction, music, editing, and staging, as well as its context and themes, embody a spirit that can only be described as "punk." The plot follows two best friends from university, whose lives are turned upside down when one of them becomes pregnant. Together, they embark on a quest to obtain an abortion in a country where it is still illegal. This is a great comedy that, in a carefree tone, without prejudice but also without concessions, highlights the hypocrisies of social, cultural, and political life in Chile, echoing experiences in other regions of Latin America.

Problemista
Directed, written, and starred by Salvadoran comedian Julio Torres (Los Espookys), Problemista is a comedy that presents an absurd premise and doesn't worry about its credibility, and instead embraces its ridiculousness and runs with it. Set in an unspecified time in New York, Álex (Torres) aspires to be a toy inventor at Hasbro, with ideas as absurd as Barbies with crossed fingers or Cabbage Patch dolls with cellphones. To make ends meet, he works at a cryogenization clinic that freezes patients to wake up in the future (although there's no certainty that such technology will exist). When he is fired, he takes a job as an assistant to the neurotic Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton at her finest), who harbors the unreal idea of curating an exhibition of her artist husband's paintings, one of the frozen patients. With a production design that indulges in camp (closer to Roger Waters than to Pedro Almodóvar), using cheap costumes and ridiculous digital special effects, Torres builds a surreal and amusing atmosphere that satirizes the twisted difficulties of living in the United States (especially for Latin immigrants), the banal and stupid egocentrism of the cultural elites, and the absurdity of corporatism. Its eccentricity may repel some, but if you approach it on these terms, you'll leave the cinema having seen something truly unique.
