Trailer
Why watch this film?
Awarded the Jury Prize at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival, Michelangelo Antonioni's sixth film, 'La Aventura', was a total challenge to the cinematic and narrative conventions of its time. The movie stands out for its unusual pacing and a story that completely deviates from the traditional, instead focusing on pictorial composition, atmosphere creation, and character relation. It's not exactly a movie to watch if you're looking for a traditional romance, but observe its framing, narrative structure (or lack thereof) and the way it directs action in front of the camera, and you'll conclude that its innovations in film language have left an indelible mark on the seventh art.

Blow-Up
Inspired by a Julio Cortázar story, 'Blowup' is the first English-language film from the great Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni ('L'Avventura'), winner of the Grand Prize at the International Film Festival (now known as the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival) and with two Oscar nominations. Faithful to the director's previous filmography, this movie proposes a reflection on an alienating existence, in this case, in a reality intervened by photography, making humanity a passive and inert spectator, insensitive to the disturbing events around them and unable to connect with other people, which forces them to look closer and further away to wake up.
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.
