Why watch this film?
Directed by Argentinian filmmaker Ana Katz ('Sueño Florianópolis', 'Una novia errante'), 'The Dog Who Wouldn't Be Quiet' is a modest drama that, in its contrasting black and white images, mixes elements of traditional comedy, tragedy, and science fiction. The story follows Sebastián, who has reached 30 years old and the only stable thing in his life is his relationship with his dog, wandering between temporary jobs, sentimental relationships, fatherhood, and even a pandemic. It is a film with a certain melancholic air, which manages to find a very subtle humor in the absurd and even outrageous circumstances of its protagonist (it reminds a bit of Ken Loach's cinema). The story itself does not follow a clear structure, but wanders from one mundane moment to another as it happens in life, illustrating the enormous human capacity for adaptation in the face of large and small adversities. It couldn't be more down-to-earth, but for that very reason it is touching and even inspiring.

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.
