Why watch this film?
The cult known as "The International Family" has been considered a destructive sect wrapped in scandals of prostitution, incest and pedophilia which, despite its supposed dissolution in 1978, has persisted under different names. 'Los niños de Dios', an Argentine documentary by Martín Farina, is a feature-length film that, beyond exploring the history and controversies of the sect, offers an empathetic portrait of two of its victims, two brothers who seek to make sense of their past. It is, then, an exploration of memory, trauma and repression through image and sound.

Our suggestions
Francisco and Sol were raised off the grid in a religious community called “The International Family”. In an attempt to liberate their voices and reconfigure the puzzle of subjectivity, the film recovers a past that returns through their memories to expose facts that had been denied.

An unrivalled musical and visual treat that showcases unique arrangements of Disney's most popular songs and gives insight into the life of world-renowned pianist Lang Lang. Through performance and documentary segments, the film opens an intimate window into his extraordinary musical journey as he speaks to his love for Disney dating back to his childhood in China. Joined by London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Lang Lang invites audiences to savor Disney classics such as "Let It Go", "We Don't Talk About Bruno", "You'll Be in My Heart" feat. English recording artist Alfie Boe, "When You Wish Upon a Star" feat. performer Gina Alice Redlinger and more.
Rosa Peral's Tapes
Following the same format as the documentary about the crime committed by Elize Matsunaga, which interviews the murderer to better understand her methods and thoughts, Rosa Peral's Tapes showcases the first interview with Rosa Peral, who has been in prison since she was convicted of her partner's murder with the help of a former lover. Following the successful true crime film format, the feature film explores the crime to the fullest – without much shame in doing so – while attempting to uncover the human side of this entire criminal case.
