Why watch this film?
A documentary crossing gypsy identity with Colombian identity, seen through the narration of a young child. 'Fait vivir' is narrated by Manuk, four years old, whose parents belong to a group of gypsy musicians, dancers and circus actors known as Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra. It's a movie that tries to encompass a lot, from the journey of the ensemble around Colombia to its history, passing through the biography of its narrator. It could be more concise, but it's full of beautiful images that convey the joy of this gypsy art project.

Documentary
Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only

The Eternal Memory
Walking a thin line between documentary and fiction with The Mole Agent, Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi has demonstrated an impressive sensitivity and compassion in approaching subjects dealing with end-of-life illnesses. The Eternal Memory is no different. This documentary delves into the intimacy of journalist Augusto Góngora and his wife, Paulina Urrutia. He, however, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's eight years ago, and they now live with tenderness and patience, but fearing the day when he will no longer recognize her. The story is not only devastating – in the best sense of the word – for its inherent drama but is also an essay on memory itself and its fragility, as well as on the role of cinema as a document to preserve historical memory and raise awareness about the disease.
Every Body
Directed by Julie Cohen (RBG), Every Body is a documentary that is immediately relevant for celebrating intersex and non-binary identity while also illustrating the everyday struggles of the community. The film features the testimonies of three intersex individuals: River Gallo (known for their role in Love, Victor), politician Alicia Roth Weige, and student Sean Saifa Wal. Through their stories of shame and pain, but also their tireless activism to end non-consensual surgeries, we learn about the importance of becoming aware of their identity. It helps us understand that our society and its gender conventions are not (or should not be) as rigid as we might believe.
