In a wintry metropolis, the merciless Mr. TV rules the country. The whole city is without a voice as he has monopolized word and image. Director Esteban Sapir eloquently blends classic genres (and visual styles) in this visually stunning allegory.  More...

In attendance: Barbara Lombardo

Ramos, a seemingly friendly and trustworthy man, played by Arturo Goetz, robs a school and a mental institution while pretending to be someone else. This completely unpredictable film is shot in extremely long takes but never lets the audience relax. Pablo Fendrik has forged a tense and original story that rages against its rigorously formal style.  More...

Michael James Rowland in his feature debut tells this true story. Combining comedy, survival drama and shrewd political commentary, an Indonesian fishing boat abandons a motley group of Iraqi and Cambodian immigrants on a remote Australian beach.

LUCKY MILES is a wry, insightful take on immigration and border issues.  More...

In attendance:  Stefan Ruzowitzky

In 1936, the Nazis set up the largest counterfeiting operation in history at the Malthausen concentration camp as part of an attempt to destabilize the pound and the dollar. Within the camp, two Jewish prisoners with very different philosophies clash over where their loyalties lie as the war rages outside the walls. Director Stefan Ruzowitzky presents August Berger's memoir as an uneasy study in contradiction, refusing to give his audience — or his characters — any easy answers.  More...
