Why watch this film?
Intimate German drama full of peculiarities, 'Stillstehen' begins with a story that sets the tone for the movie: the protagonist Julie (Natalia Belitski), as a child, was bothered by the proactivity of ants and, in revolt, set fire to an anthill. She couldn't stand those comings and goings, that work, all that movement. It is from this that we know more about the character, who could easily have come from French cinema, and who simply gave up on "being" or "doing". In 'Stillstehen', Julie has only one proposal in her life: to do nothing. From there, we dive into a film that analyzes the social aspects and impositions that leave people hostage to other people's decisions. With meticulous direction from Elisa Mishto, award-winning German short filmmaker, the feature film embraces a slow pace (and even a bit of non-sense cinema) to challenge, question and, above all, make us think about the exact purpose of our lives.

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.
