Why watch this film?
With its premiere at the Venice Film Festival's Horizons section in 2020, 'Meel Patthar' ('Milestone') is an Indian film that perfectly captures the anxieties of the postmodern world, where humans, as products, seem to be thrown away and replaced by the great industrial machinery -- à la 'You Were Not Here'. Some of its metaphors are a bit crude, and some of its protagonist's decisions border on the implausible, but it is a solid drama for those looking for something a bit deeper.

Soni
Selected for the Horizons section of the prestigious Venice Film Festival, 'Soni' has a subtle yet powerful script that is immersed in questions of gender violence and women's expectations. The story is about two female police officers who, upon seeing crimes against other women, decide to take charge of the cases—as well as face misogyny in their own lives. Set in New Delhi, it is a necessary film around the world.
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
