Why watch this film?
The Brazilian movie that has been featured in both the Sundance and Gramado Festivals, "Marte Um" has a bold proposal: simply tell the story of a Brazilian family during the year of Jair Bolsonaro's election as president. The father is a doorman in a building in Belo Horizonte, and the mother is a housekeeper - even cleaning the house of influencer Tokinho. Both parents have dreams for their children, projecting intentions and desires. But the children don't want exactly what their parents wish for. And that's where all the beauty of Gabriel Martins' work ("No Coração do Mundo") comes in, which does not settle for the obvious and weaves a chronicle about the routine of this family that looks like a Brazil that changes all the time, but always in search of dreams - whether with their own desires or for new generations.

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.
