REVIEWS

A Quintet – Friend Request – Sarajevo 20

Friend Request is trying to deal in the most detached way with the unsolved and crucial problems that the Middle East faces.

Eyforiya (Euphoria, 2006)

A tragic romantic story set in the immense Russian steppe. A theatrical experience told by Ivan Vyrypaev in pure cinematic language.

Gorod Zero (Zero City, 1988)

Kafkaesque absurdity meets Soviet reality during the years of the extremely bureaucratic Perestroika in this deadpan comedy by Karen Shakhnazarov.

Mary is Happy, Mary is Happy – Venice 70 Biennale College

Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit creates a truly innovative experimental films set in our digital world. What could happen if a Twitter account feed becomes real?

La Maldad (Evilness) – Berlinale 65 Forum

Mexico's most troubled political period is blended with traces of poetry and Carlos Reygadas' essence, when betrayal surpasses love in Joshua Gil's debut feature film.
