The dream of Grisel

Grisel reminisces about her youth through the transformative experience of participating in an independent Argentine film in the 1970s, based on Cortázar's short story "End of the Game." From a set that recreates her memories, Grisel shares objects, letters, and family mementos she still cherishes, and evokes the emotion of playing Leticia, the central character in that now-lost film. Through archival footage and set reconstructions, the documentary explores nostalgia, the passage of time, and the indelible mark that cinema leaves on those who experience it.

The Writer: Almudena Grandes

In her own words, over the years, Almudena Grandes shared her way of seeing the world, understanding life, and approaching writing. But Almudena is no longer here. The aim of this film is to keep her memory alive: to celebrate her life and work without forgetting the painful void left by her passing. Luis García Montero, her husband, steps into that void and, in doing so, completes the intimate portrait of a writer who, like few others, has been able to tell the story of our lives.

Generation

Sofia left her hometown of Kramatorsk, went through a difficult process of adapting to a new place, and dreams of becoming an actress. Bozhena, fleeing the war, found refuge in Truskavets, where she became the voice of children who, like her, had lost their homes. Marko and Maria live in Kryvyi Rih under constant shelling, but they continue to fight: the boy is learning to accept his history through creativity, and the girl is actively involved in community activities and building her future in Ukraine. Anna from Kharkiv dreams of becoming an architect and rebuilding her hometown. Veronika, who survived the occupation of Chernihiv, is healing through equestrian sports, and Valeria, whose parents took her to Germany, is still looking for an answer — whether to return or build a future abroad.

Unborn Father

Inspired by Jonas Mekas' diary films and his father's home videos, Michal Böhm composes a candid self-portrait of his own desire for fatherhood from numerous visual fragments. Six years of life, dozens of gestures, smiles, and silent faces captured by the nimble eye of an 8mm camera. A breakup with a partner, a new relationship, his mother's serious illness, meetings with friends. Demonstrations, pandemics, war, and weddings. Things both fleeting and fundamental. Life as a fabric of fleeting impressions and the camera as a tool that captures, shapes, and preserves them for future generations. And above all, reflections on the future and the legacy we will leave behind, and doubts about whether this is the right world and the right time to have a child.

One Minute Is an Eternity for Those Who Are Suffering

An intimate, experimental documentary in which co-director Wesley Pereira turns the camera on himself to explore his daily life, desires, and inner turmoil. Set in his home in Sergipe, Brazil, the film blends mundane routines with candid reflections on sexuality, erotic desire, cinephilia, and mental anguish. Openly gay, Wesley examines his own vulnerability, shame, and longing, creating a raw portrait of queer existence and self-exposure. Fragmented and non-linear, the film stretches time and emotion, embodying its title: one minute can feel like an eternity when suffering. It is a bold, introspective meditation on identity, isolation, and the challenges of living authentically.

We Want More Than Money

​​The film begins with the implementation of the Paulo Gustavo Law in São Manuel, a town of 40,000 residents in the countryside of São Paulo, to open a broader conversation: what happens when public funding reaches the cultural sector? And why is there still so much resistance to that? Through interviews with funded artists, cultural managers, policymakers, and spontaneous conversations with local residents, the film reveals a reality that goes beyond the borders of a single town, drawing a wider picture of the relationship between art, public policy, and everyday life. The documentary features historian Célio Turino, creator of the Pontos de Cultura program, and congresswoman Jandira Feghali, rapporteur of the Aldir Blanc Law. The screenplay is co-written by Turino and director bagadefente.

Fate of Pines

A small village lost in the middle of a vast pine forest in the north of Spain. A place that hides ghosts and does not remember. My family's stone house, locked with three padlocks. During a traditional celebration, the eligible men cut down the tallest, longest, and straightest pine tree and plant it in the village square. My great-grandmother and her daughter were killed in the same spot 70 years earlier. A double femicide, committed in front of everyone, but never spoken of until now.

Circus Tuomento

Circus Tuomento is a documentary about Finland's most famous tightrope walker, Antti Tuomento (b.1968). After the tragic break of his circus career, he focuses on building his own city. About a dozen fascinating, organic buildings have been made in the garden. The city with its museum, church and theater can be seen as an attempt to take fate into one's own hands – and to build an entire alternative world. The second narrator of the film, Antti's father, novel writer Matti Tuomento (1933-2016), lived with the weight of his own failed career as an artist, his repulsion towards fatherhood and his own childhood trauma. He poured his own childhood trauma and artistic collapse over his family. Trauma, which has moved from one generation to the next, has now turned into Antti's fascinating city. It is one of the most important art environments in our country. Antti has declared the city of Pelimannimäki as an independent kingdom.
