Olentzero eta Subilaren Lapurreta

It's Christmas in a small village in the Pyrenees. Olentzero is a beloved character who represents the Christmas spirit and distributes gifts to children. He has already received all the letters from the children in the valley and is watching their behavior through the "magic log" burning in his fireplace. An evil businessman has arrived in the village and wants to cut down the forest to build a ski resort. He steals Olentzero's "magic log" and all the letters, putting the children's gifts in jeopardy. Anjé, a young charcoal burner, is tasked with setting things right. With the help of the other children in the village, they will go through endless adventures and dangers until normality returns to the valley and Christmas can continue as usual.

It is a story of a world where men and women carry magic in their blood, and spilling it can unleash terrible power. Where these "Blooded" hide in fetid slums from the Church of the Angels, commanded by their divine masters to "cleanse" the Blood Magic. Where choices are fraught, alliances rarely safe, and blood is all. A young monk named Jered flees the Church when his own Blood Magic is released. Now he must survive the pursuit of the Church, the gladiatorial pits of the Blooded underground, and the hidden truths of the ancient struggle. The choices he makes will tip the balance of the war between Church and Blooded, and change his world forever.

By the Lake

Bokanowski returns to the complex - and mind-bending - optical array of pinholes, mirrors, prisms, and refractive substrates of his earlier film, La Plage to create the whimsical and playful Au bord du lac. The film is composed of mundane, everyday scenes of recreation and leisure on an idyllic, sunny day at a park that overlooks a lake - rowing a boat, playing a game of volleyball, rollerskating, bicycling, reading a newspaper, sunbathing, riding on horseback, or strolling on the promenade - shot through optical distortions to create fractured and knotted images that resemble embellished, gothic fairytale illustrations or appear to resolve into morphing, geometric patterns of fluid motion. Evoking the vibrant colors and sun-soaked palette of an invigorated Vincent van Gogh in Arles, Bokanowski transforms the quotidian into an infinitely mesmerizing dynamic kaleidoscope of shape-shifting textures and self-reconstituting objects of organic, abstract art.
