El vientre de Europa

Julián Pintos, alter ego of the director Juan Pinzás, in his dreamlike universe, makes an introspective journey from the belly of his mother to the belly of Europe without severing the umbilical cord. Julián will be lost between the child he was, that man he now is, his mother's love and the duality of the woman he loves. All this in the entrails of the two European capitals through which he wanders, Berlin and Madrid, which with their past and present stir up Julián's dreams and anxieties.

Una Fabula Muy Trillada: The Legacy Of Dermis Tatú

Two decades ago, Venezuela's power trio Dermis Tatú released their only album, "La violó, la mató y la picó" ("Raped her, killed her and cut her"). The band was an offspring from the separation of Sentimiento Muerto, and was formed by Carlos "Cayayo" Troconis (voice and guitar), Héctor Castillo (bass) and Sebastián Araujo (drums). The record is still considered by many as the most influential in the Venezuelan rock scene. Twenty years later, Castillo and Araujo remember the stories behind the recording, as a group of the current generation of Venezuelan rockers, not only explain its influence and impact, but also play all the songs from the album, making them their own.

We Are All Stars

Five years have passed since the death of his brother and Felipe has just decided to uncover Pandora's box. Thus begins this intimate tale of a completely disenchanted man who lives locked up in a garage, between gloomy memories and the ghost of guilt. Although his paralysis is much older: it is related to his film career, with the bankruptcy of his film company, with his political disillusionment, with the failure of his generation to stop violence in the country and with his sexual orientation.

Soukeina, 4400 days of night

After the military occupation of Western Sahara in 1976, Moroccan government attacked the civil population with hard repression, forcing hundreds of Saharan people to “disappear” in clandestine jails.

When they finally were released, their known world had changed radically.

1000 ways to eat an egg

The film humorously recounts the adventures of three young friends, now in full quarantine, who arrive in Valencia to fulfill the last wishes of a fourth friend, and older sister of one of them, who had died a year earlier. The trip, which seems directed from beyond by the dead woman, becomes a double adventure. A comic adventure, in which the ashes, first in an urn and then in a luxurious handbag, take center stage, and a dramatic adventure, that of the reunion of the friends with an old love of youth, their former coach of gymnastics, which will cause a decisive transformation in all of them. A reunion that will serve to close old wounds and overcome personal conflicts and to realize that after forty life has only just begun

Faire la parole

Opening with the testimony of a politically exiled Basque author reminiscing on a childhood where he was forced to “hide his language as something ugly”, Faire la parole then keeps apace with some young people from the French and Spanish Basque Country: Nora, who saw the newspaper where she worked closed by the Guardia Civil in 2003, then Aitor, Ana and Ortzi. The last three, still teenagers, lend a summery and easy-going tone to the film, which is magnificently framed by Eugène Green’s long-time cameraman, Raphael O’Byrne. The dialogue that settles in between the younger members and those in their thirties has a rare quality, as if the difference of language – which each has had to impose on their family or on their national entourage – had almost tacitly created a secret community. Starting with the political stakes (regional languages versus centralism), the story hikes over the mountains with these new friends brought together by the filmmaker.

Nocturno: Ghosts of the Sea in Port

The Spanish vessel ‘Ilha Brava’ arrives from the deep seas of the south Atlantic. 55 days at sea are interrupted by only five days docked in the port of Montevideo. The city exists as a hologram for the sailors, standing like a shadow behind the vessel that gives shelter. Men of diverse nationalities and religions, yet all share the same broken gaze, in which a dream of home absorbed through a screen is a haunting and entertaining presence during the long dead hours of waiting.
