Varda by Agnès
It may be the farewell for a monolithic woman in cinema history, but ‘Varda by Agnès’ certainly feels more like a candid conversation with a grandmother or a life-long friend. And it’s precisely that sense of intimacy that, despite this being the final work of a legendary filmmaker, it paradoxically represents an ideal entry point for those who want to get to know her history-making filmography and singular impact or, rather, get to know her as an artist. And endearing and perfect retrospective that equally works for audiences hearing the name of Agnès Varda for the very first time, and a required viewing for cinephiles and filmmakers.

Cléo from 5 to 7
In retrospect, it is extraordinary that this is considered one of the masterpieces of filmmaker Agnès Varda, considering it was only her second feature-length film. At the time, it was a highly innovative movie, set within the avant-garde of the "Rive Gauche" (contemporary with—and sometimes parallel to—the French New Wave). 'Cléo de 5 a 7' is a film that addresses 90 minutes in the life of its protagonist—that is, the time of the film is the same time that passes in the narrative—with a feminist focus on topics such as mortality, narcissistic obsession, and existentialism. Without a doubt, one of the crowning achievements of French cinema in the twentieth century.

Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story
Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story is a National Geographic documentary that, in simple terms, tells a tender story that will make you feel joy and hope. The story begins with a couple, Billy and Susan, who are going through a tough period after moving to the Shetland Islands in Scotland. Then a wild otter, which they name Molly, enters their lives. Billy's compassion for the animal transforms the lives of all three, in a tender story about healing the heart through joy and a sense of purpose. To top it off, the cinematography is beautiful, enhancing an already beautiful film.

La Bonga
La bonga is an emotional Colombian documentary, selected for film festivals like Guanajuato (Mexico), Costa Rica, and San Francisco. The documentary portrays the return of hundreds of people to the title town, now swallowed by the jungle, after they had to abandon it decades earlier due to threats of violence from paramilitary groups. It is a powerful cinematic exercise on collective memory to heal trauma, reconcile with the passage of time, and rebuild abandoned lives to move forward with courage.

Life Is Not a Competition, But I'm Winning
Life is not a Competition, but I'm Winning is a sports documentary that challenges one of the most debated—and controversial—issues in professional sports in recent years: the rigidity of gender-based competitive divisions—male and female—with the resultant exclusion of transgender athletes. With a visual style that goes beyond typical sports documentaries, this production challenges these classifications while celebrating the triumphs of transgender women who have been denied the opportunity to compete and represent their disciplines—and even their nations—on the podium.

Skywalkers: A Love Story
Skywalkers: A Love Story is a documentary presented at the Sundance Festival 2024 that, from its theme and subjects, might already seem controversial: it follows a couple dedicated to rooftopping, the activity of clandestinely scaling skyscrapers and other tall structures, and documenting it. The documentary explores their trajectories, motivations, and romantic relationship, as they prepare for the most risky—and important—climb of their lives. Filled with spectacular and even terrifying images, with editing that keeps the viewer engaged, Skywalkers will fascinate the curious, even if, as such, its reflections on love never reach the same heights.
