My Fat Arse and I (2021)
Why watch this film?
A short animation that tackles, with ironic and absurd humor, topics such as body dysmorphia and anorexia. The story of 'Ja i moja gruba dupa' is about a girl who, seeing that her clothes don't fit, decides to go on a radical diet to lose weight as quickly as possible. What happens afterwards is a surreal and brilliantly crazy metaphor of reconciliation between mind and body, whose direction of art of mutable and chaotic lines fits perfectly into the theme of the movie. Director Yelyzaveta Pysmak borrows elements from everything, from classic anime, expressionist art and retro games to tell her funny, short and strong story.

Cocaine Bear
Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow and blood.
Have a Nice Day!
From the same director of "Todas las sardinas del mundo" and the series "La Casa de las Flores," the Mexican feature film "Come Back Soon!" is an incredibly charming film. The story follows the journey of a retired radio announcer in Mexico who decides to work at a market to earn some money. His goal is very special: to attend a party where he hopes to find his true love, with the help of two young men who work at the market. A simple and functional film that shows with lightness how dreams last forever - despite age.
