Trailer
Why watch this film?
'Sequestrada' is a very singular movie in its form, making it an interesting experience. The story of the feature revolves around a daughter of an indigenous chief who gets lost and is kidnapped, and the unfolding of this plot, while the subtext addresses the exploitation of indigenous lands, how it affects tribes and even influences climate change. The ace up the movie's sleeve, however, is the way it is conducted: the feature is low-budget and features few known actors -- in fact most of the characters are non-actors playing themselves -- and the camera work is done in a very intimate manner, as if trying to capture the events. These elements contribute to the movie having a very documentary-like character, thus defining itself as a hybrid on the thin line between fiction and reality. The story is sensitive, captivating and informative as well, bringing to the screen events that get little attention from the media, blended in a very peculiar plot.

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
