Why watch this film?
In her first feature films, Mexican filmmaker Natalia Beristain ("The Eternal Feminine") worked in an intimate register, but clearly anchored in the female experience, among abandoned women or those struggling in spaces dominated by discreet (but atrocious) machista violence. With "Ruido", the filmmaker makes a leap to an openly social and political level. Her story follows Julia (the legendary Julieta Egurrola), one more woman who joins the endless fight of so many other mothers to find their missing daughters in the hands of organized crime in the face of an apathetic, at best, and complicit in the worst judicial system. "Ruido" follows many of the same steps that similar films ("Sin Señales Particulares", "La Civil") have followed: the portrait of impunity and corruption, the constant threat of violence and the despair of broken families. However, Beristain's film shines - and deeply moves - because, in the end, it returns to the intimate: it is one of the productions that best portrays the impotence, the devastating pain and the overflowing rage of the victims who cry out for security and justice.

Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
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.
