Why watch this film?
A historically devastating yet little-known war in Brazil, the Kosovo War shook families, cities, loves, and stories of life. In the end, it broke structures and left its mark on this country in the Balkans Peninsula. In 'Zana', filmmaker Antoneta Kastrati draws from these war experiences and her own life story to make a film that navigates between the beautiful and the disturbing. Here, we follow the story of Lume, a woman who is pressured by her family to cure her infertility and become a mother again. However, along the way, she is haunted by her tragic past -- in an intelligent narrative that mixes real and fictional elements. A horror film that doesn't rely on cheap scares, 'Zana' is a powerful piece of reflection that puts its spotlight on the excellent actress Adriana Matoshi.

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.
