Why watch this film?
Signed by Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi, director of feature films such as 'La Once' and 'The Grown-Ups' (for which she was awarded at the Amsterdam International Documentary Festival, the world's largest dedicated to the genre). This is where the great power of 'El agente topo' lies, as although it presents itself as a mystery fiction, it blurs the boundaries of that genre with documentary, resulting in the genius of a spy movie with revealing and emotional moments about the life of the elderly, full of cuteness and a fantastic sense of adventure. The film was selected at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, awarded at the San Sebastian Festival of the same year, and nominated for an Oscar for Documentary.

Pedro narra el acercamiento de una joven cineasta al reconocido artista Pedro Friedeberg. El contraste entre los momentos íntimos de estos dos personajes y los eventos públicos del artista completan un retrato tierno y a la vez cómico de una figura fantástica del arte mexicano.
Lang Lang Plays Disney
An unrivalled musical and visual treat that showcases unique arrangements of Disney's most popular songs and gives insight into the life of world-renowned pianist Lang Lang. Through performance and documentary segments, the film opens an intimate window into his extraordinary musical journey as he speaks to his love for Disney dating back to his childhood in China. Joined by London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Lang Lang invites audiences to savor Disney classics such as "Let It Go", "We Don't Talk About Bruno", "You'll Be in My Heart" feat. English recording artist Alfie Boe, "When You Wish Upon a Star" feat. performer Gina Alice Redlinger and more.
Rosa Peral's Tapes
Following the same format as the documentary about the crime committed by Elize Matsunaga, which interviews the murderer to better understand her methods and thoughts, Rosa Peral's Tapes showcases the first interview with Rosa Peral, who has been in prison since she was convicted of her partner's murder with the help of a former lover. Following the successful true crime film format, the feature film explores the crime to the fullest – without much shame in doing so – while attempting to uncover the human side of this entire criminal case.
