Trailer
Why watch this film?
This is the story of three people who, at the height of the Cold War and the space race, helped to take man into space - but whose stories were forgotten, ignored from history books, only because they were women and black. The movie puts an end to this forgotten and, even with certain poetic freedoms, opens our eyes to issues like racism and misogyny. It is also a story of triumph and overcoming to inspire us.

The Starling
This is a story of a couple dealing with a loss and the effect it has on their marriage, which many can relate to. Melissa McCarthy, known for her comedic roles, shows another side - the dramatic one - and she does it very well. She paints a very sensitive and convincing portrait of a woman trying to overcome trauma. Chris O'Dowd delivers an amazing performance, as does Timothy Olyphant and Skyler Gisondo. 'The Starling' is sure to make you emotional and thankful that we still have good dramas like this.
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.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
