Trailer
Why watch this film?
Justin Chon, actor and filmmaker of the series 'Pachinko', directs a social drama selected for the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. 'Blue Bayou' tells the story of Antonio (Chon), a Korean adopted and raised in the United States, who is now married to the love of his life, Kathy (Alicia Vikander), and stepfather to her daughter. When he discovers that his parents never naturalized him, he faces the possibility of being deported. Though the film suffers from being overly dramatic (something that is accentuated by its beautiful 16mm cinematography), it is a faithful portrait of the injustices and paradoxes of the US immigration system, illustrating that people's true home is rarely their place of origin, but where they belong.

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
