Aquarius – Jerusalem 33

In his sophomore film, Kleber Mendonça Filho penetrates Brazilian falsely beautified society through Sônia Braga's stunning performance.

Krugovi (Circles, 2013)

A heroic act during the Yugoslav war haunts the lives of the heroes. Concentric circles of fate can bring atonement. Directed by Srdan Golubović.

Dallas Buyers Club (2013)

A film of marginal pairs’ balance that move among realism and fantasy, hope and disillusionment, justice and injustice, heterosexuality and homosexuality, AIDS and life.

Ixcanul Volcano – Berlinale 65

A low key coming-of-age drama that stands between the local Mayan traditions and their bleak impoverished lives. Debut feature film by Jayro Bustamante.

Viharsarok (Land of Storms) – Sarajevo 20

A deeply emotional and visually impressive drama by Ádám Császi, that exposes the issue of homophobia in modern day Hungary.
